Dr. Tadhg O'Mahony:

The Senator made a very interesting point on various lenses, perspectives and value systems bringing in different people. We can have disruptors. I would call it the field of foresight or future studies. It is not necessarily about making things disruptive or difficult for people but pushing away from the groupthink. We think back to the housing situation after the financial crisis. In some ways we feel we should not be where we are now, and if we had had more disrupting of our thinking on various scenarios of where this could have arrived at, or where we would like to go, we may have put in measures to prevent arriving where we are now. In a very short space of time we went from complete oversupply to complete overdemand. There are disruptive modes we can put in. Citizens' assemblies are one and there are also participative exercises through foresight and future studies to push where this can go in the future and where we would like to go.
