The world can feel like a very dark and lonely place at times with suffering, loneliness and trauma all included in the appetizers of life for many of us, if not the main course. Admittedly, our quality of life from an objective perspective has risen dramatically, we have access to technology, healthcare, education and luxuries that previous generations could have never dreamed of. Yet still we suffer. Perhaps we have lost sight of what is really important. Perhaps we have been fractured into so many tiny pieces it is impossible to feel anything other than broken. Could it be that existing in a society that seems destined to destroy itself in the empty pursuit of material gain with a constant need to encourage mindless consumption for the sake of continuous economic growth, isn’t exactly conducive to the betterment of our collective wellbeing and mental health?

​

It would appear that our society is sick in some way, with the symptoms of this sickness manifesting throughout our world as: mental health crises and illness, suicide, war, genocide, abuse, addiction, crime, corruption, injustice, inequality, oppression, chronic anger, hatred, and fear, with an abundance of normalised exploitative social systems which perpetuates the continuation of human suffering. As a result, Social Geometrics is best described as a theory that endeavours to heal this sickness that permeates throughout our society by providing an alternative pathway towards societal development and personal growth.

​

It is a theory that values mutuality over exploitation, authenticity over professionalism, creativity over conformity, and it is a theory that will create bottom-up democratic hierarchies instead of the traditional top-down hierarchies that dominate our society. It will allow for humanity’s collective intelligence to emerge on a grand scale which will help guide us through the myriad of problems faced by humanity, both on a collective and individual level.

​

Social geometrics is a continuation of the person-centred approach as created by Carl Rogers and developed by many others.

 

The person-centred approach was once a radical paradigm shifting philosophy with a wealth of evidence to support its efficacy in regards to helping people to heal and become empowered. It was once considered revolutionary, yet it has struggled to survive in the neoliberal environment it now finds itself in. Social geometrics is the blueprint for a person-centred revolution. It is a theory that endeavours to build a better and more sustainable future for us, our children, and future generations.

 

A future with less mental illness, physical sickness, corruption,  exploitation, oppression, crime, conflict, suffering, and misery.

Social Geometrics is a blueprint for social change.
