The Importance of Collective Agency in Positive Emergence

It seems like these emergent properties occur rapidly in systems, and it's over a short timeframe. So the question is, will this transition be a breakdown of the system or a breakthrough? And what can we do to increase the odds for a breakthrough? My main conclusion is that it's actually up to us. We are not just the spectators in this system. We are the agents of the system, again individually and collectively. If we really take that responsibility seriously and exercise that agency, then we can help the system to reach a positive emergence.
