There is an old song "All you need is love." It is true. Not love as we know it in this world. All you need is real love. All you need is connecting with the Supreme Lord in love. When we know who is the real controller, then we will not be struggling anymore to try to control everything and everyone. I just do the best I can and depend on the Supreme Lord for the rest. We will not be afraid of not being able to control our future. I will not feel insecure anymore because I know the Supreme Lord loves me unconditionally and will always protect me no matter what might happen in this ever changing world. This wisdom is truly liberating.
Back in the early nineties, we we're referring to resilience (the definition according to this gentleman) as homeostasis. Using the body as an analog to the earth is interesting in how some bodies that are older or Immuno-compromised are more likely to go to the death state; so I am wondering how this applies to how stressed the ecosystems of earth are, and what systems would be the "old" or immuno-compromised body?
Brilliant. I loved it. Ironically most all human systems are designed to work in a narrow efficient and (short term) effective fast productivity band of optimization. Unwittingly by doing so we head for disaster in the long term. I am interested as to hear how we can apply to our systems the right balance of stresses that generate the appropriate resilience for likely future circumstances that will impact the systems, Hopefully we don't have to run at suboptimal and risk causing too many injuries along the way. I guess this concept could be applied to most all systems.
It seems only theoretical to me. How is humans capable of affecting nature, environment or ecology towards more resilience? By not interfering, controlled interference or how? (Good explanation btw.)
I found the rat study very interesting. The question I have is do the rat "Systems" vary their state is a pre-determind way in a response to trauma or is this a random search process looking for path back to the "live" state? So is there a built in "extra dimensional bypass" which finds a way around or through the peak or is their a random walk through state space occurring that find "canals" back to normal state
Does shifting to another attractor the state of 'dying' or does it present a challenge of adaptive survival a metamorphosis to another self-environment mutualism. Is the forest fire a form of 'inculcating' resilience or is the forest fire integral to being what a forest is - over time? Some seeds will not germinate unless exposed to the experience of a forest fire - not having one prevents it from actualizing the 'self' that is inherent to being a forest ecology. Is this really resilience or is it part of the inherent life cycle of being?
i'm a lecturer of sustainable development. it indeed is the best explanation... thanks for posting it.
This video by Brian Walker is so worth listening to, right to the very last seconds!
Best argument I have ever heard from an older man about why we should disturb children
2:53 is my favourite way to describe system limits

This is awesome i like the approach with the human body and the ecosystems resiliance. it's elucidate it in a good manner
Many thanks for your very clear presentation of the concept!

Message put across quite succinctly... Thank you
Thank you very much for bringing clarity to this hard to grasp concept.
This actually relates significantly to me but in a different situation altogether.
Brilliant explanation. Can I publish this link on a training kit on biodiversity that will be published by Unesco?
Go for it.
Best regards

+Stockholm Resilience Centre TV can I add italian subtitles to it? and use the link on my blog resilienzaverde.wordpress.com ? many thanks
OK!

Very well stated, enjoyable presentation with very valuable insights.

To what extent does the body anticipate and avoid not just withstand, mitigate, and recover from adversity?

Interesting! I wonder if you could post the references?
Fantastic explanation!
well done!
Nice Video That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You Stockholm whiteboard seminar: Brian Walker explains what is resilience in people and ecosystems.
But if you continuosly burn the forest(once a year or longer) the resilience capacity of the forest decrease doesn't it?
very interesting
I'm at Uppsala University, MSc Sustainable Development. The course is so boring!! I want to transfer to SU and do the resilience Master...
