By Thomas Klaffke| Resilience.org Verified A new worldview is emerging, and it’s much richer, more meaningful, and more beautiful than the thinking that currently dominates our societies. I’m talking about planetarism, or what some also call planetarity.
By Thomas Klaffke| Resilience.org Verified I believe that we are living in a crisis of imagination!We’re stuck in old mental models, narratives, and ways of thinking, so even when we attempt to think differently or creatively, the results are…modest and average. And that’s because all of our thinking remains stuck inside the box of the old narrative. But I am hopeful! Because many of these old mental models are increasingly breaking down and, therefore, opening up new opportunities to think differently.

The Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) is a global nonprofit mentorship program that helps seed-stage, science- and technology-driven startups scale their businesses. Founded in 2012 at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, CDL operates in various locations, including Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Halifax, New York City, and Wisconsin. The program is designed to maximize equity-value creation for startups linked to university research, particularly in fields like AI, quantum computing, and biotechnology. CDL offers an intensive nine-month program that includes mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs and industry experts. Startups participate in small-group discussions and large-auditorium reviews to refine their business strategies. The program features specialized tracks, such as risk management, and allows founders to join without incurring costs, as funding is secured through partnerships and investors. CDL has successfully generated over $19 billion in equity value for its alumni companies, supporting early-stage ventures that aim for significant scalability.
