Education Is the Metacrisis

In this powerful essay, philosopher and educator **Zachary Stein** reframes global challenges as rooted in a deeper educational and psychological crisis—the “metacrisis,” where our inability to understand ourselves and the world underlies our environmental, economic, and societal breakdowns. He argues we face not just ecological collapse but a crisis in perception, meaning-making, and the psyche itself. Rethinking education becomes the keystone for renewal, not merely instruction. This aligns with the Planet Project’s values of truth-seeking, compassion, interconnectedness, and system-level transformation through inner and societal awakening.
