The Global Eye – The world is not only what we see

Pierluigi Paganini July 06, 2016
If we want to be realistic we must say that the world is not only what we see. Our linear thinking, in fact, tends to not consider the “intangible”; we don’t see it and we can not measure, quantify and predict it.
We need a complex thinking to imagine a ‘geopolitics’ that is, simultaneously, geo-philosophy, geo-anthropology, the science of complexity of the world-that-is.

In all this, in the a-polar world and in the domain of asymmetric and increasingly unpredictable threats, security must be re-thought deeply; the human factor must be the center (considering the global reality in terms of “complex” and “context”) and technologies can help us to discover the “worlds in the world”, where the intangible is a fundamental part of what is real.
We have to change our “strategic mindset” to keep effective our freedom, not sacrificing it on the altar of a very often unnecessary and harmful security.
