Our mission is:

"to research and provide analysis, forecasts, and solutions to the most likely global collapse scenarios affecting humanity and its most essential systems."

We do this to help humanity better manage its most critical global challenges that could remove humanity's ability to survive long-term as a species."

We achieve this by:

1. Promoting the training and use of the breakthrough dialectical metasystemic analysis and problem-solving methodology, DMAP (aka the 28 dialectical thought forms, DTFs). The advanced DMAP methodology is ideal for optimized analysis, problem-solving, and managing complex adaptive systems, such as climate change and political, economic, social, and ecological systems. DMAP advances, transcends, and yet incorporates systems thinking and other earlier data analysis systems, such as logic and scientific falsification.

You may be wondering why a think tank would prioritize promoting the training and adoption of the major breakthrough and advancement in problem-solving analysis methodology called DMAP. DMAP represents a significant leap forward in analysis and problem-solving, firmly grounded in the prior skill foundations of logic, systems thinking, statistics, data analysis, and the principles of scientific falsification.

The world's ability to solve its most critical global problems will dramatically improve if more think tanks, corporations, and governments adopt DMAP methodology at their highest levels of analysis and problem-solving. The biggest problems in our complex adaptive systems will be solved more quickly, and solutions will be more accurate and effective, thus creating a better world. 

To say that DMAP represents a major evolutionary leap forward in developing humanity's cognitive, analytical, and problem-solving skills, far surpassing the advancements in these areas during the Enlightenment period, is not hyperbole. To place DMAP in a historical context, the first Enlightenment era introduced a new emphasis on rational thinking, the emergence of scientific methodology, and the development of Cartesian mapping, among many other significant scientific breakthroughs. T

he massive changes in the world and humanity's worldview brought about by the tremendous scientific advances of the Enlightenment have affected our modern world far beyond what anyone could have imagined. The methodology of DMAP and its new analysis and problem-solving advances also holds a real promise of ushering in a new Second Enlightenment era for humanity.) 

2. The climate change emergency (The Universe Institute partners with Job One for Humanity, a climate change think tank, on some climate change research and analysis projects.) Climate change is a steadily accelerating major threat to many of the Earth's systems and could, within several decades, lead to the mass extinction of humanity.

3. Prevention of war and maintaining political stability primarily by helping to evolve a new global country and government with the powers to make laws and enforce them on transnational issues threatening the survival of humanity. (Issues limited only to national boundaries would remain under the Control of national governments.)

Here is a 16-minute, brilliant video that lucidly explains why some form of global governance is needed for Humanity to resolve its many current crises, such as accelerating climate change and war. The video is titled "The Forgotten History of the Idea of Global Democracy." Click here for this powerful, well-thought-out video. It also illuminates why the Universe Institute has been educating about global governance as part of its core mission.

4. Educating about the new principles of Progressive Evolution, particularly its educational possibilities in safeguarding and securing humanity's future.

5. Environmental protection and sustainability. This includes human population stability and management in alignment with the Earth's carrying capacity.

5. Provide support information to individuals learning the complex DMAP methodology and a place for DMAP practitioners to list and share the results of their work.

Future areas of our mission:

1 Limited or depleting planetary resources management, such as marine protein depletion, growing freshwater supply scarcity, and the depletion of other critical resources like potassium for fertilizers.

2. Stability of national and global economic systems and financial markets. This includes exploring new, more equitable systems of monetary exchange.

While addressing the above issues, we also aim to define how we must act individually and collectively to overcome humanity's current challenges and contribute to the successful evolution of life on Earth, ultimately extending it into the universe. If we are successful in our work and collaboration in Phase One, we will help create a just planetary civilization, sustainable prosperity, and an equitable and high-quality life for all of humanity.

How will we achieve our goals?

We fulfill the educational aspect of our mission by publishing articles, papers, and books, as well as consulting in collaboration with Job One for Humanity and other research organizations. Many of these articles, papers, and books are designed to outline the steps necessary to solve our significant planetary challenges and avoid widespread global collapse.
