We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Albert Einstein
The human predicament...
With all the amazing scientific, technological and economic advancements, solutions to the most meaningful challenges still seem to elude us.
We have better healthcare, yet more unhealthy people.
We have social networks, yet more loneliness.
We have more efficient machines, yet we use more resources.
We have more renewable energy, yet more emissions.
We have more facts, yet less consensus.
We have more automation, yet we work more.
...
There's something fundamental missing in the way we inquire into and go about solving our problems.
The mission of Bright3r is to fill this gap
We're building capacity to improve our collective thinking and sensemaking processes to be able to understand meaningful challenges on a deep enough level where real progress can be made.

About us
Guided by the principles of FUN:
F = Fair. It means doing what's best for the system as a whole instead of pursuing narrow goals at the expense of other beings.
U = Unique. As similar as all individuals are, everybody has unique perspectives, experiences and skills to contribute to the common understanding and development.
N = No bullshit. From individual to global level, challenges are often propagated because we're afraid (or unable) to face the truth and directly address things that need to be addressed. At Bright3r, addressing those things is the whole point.
