The recent economic collapse is a prime example of what is to be expected when the IMPACTS are not in prominent decision-making positions and not in prominent regulatory positions. The IMPACTS hold the society together–local, national, international. Their “holding” capacities get stretched very thin as the “powers-that-be” push the envelope further and further. At some point, the whole thing is running on a hope and a prayer as has been the case with the US economy for some time.
One thousand different reasons will be offered for the collapse but the main reason is that the skills of the IMPACTS are not being utilized to their potential. Currently, their skills are being used mostly for the production of goods and services instead of the health of the society, which is what the IMPACTS profile was based on originally. It all started over 100,000 years ago with the San tribe of Africa and their shamans.
