As the world struggles through the COVID‐19 pandemic, we should also be asking what systems‐level measures will be needed to prevent this or even worse disasters from happening in the future. We argue that the pandemic is merely one of potentially myriad and pleiomorphic future global disasters generated by the same underlying dynamical system. We explain that there are four broad but easily identifiable systemic, pathologically networked conditions that are hurtling civilization toward potential self‐destruction. As long as these conditions are not resolved, we should consider catastrophe as an inevitable emergent endpoint from the dynamics. All four conditions can be reversed with collective action to begin creating an enduring and thriving post‐ COVID‐19 world. This will require maximal application of the precautionary principle.

介绍21世纪冠冕的新四骑士。
随着世界在COVID-19大流行中挣扎，我们还应该问，需要采取什么系统级措施来防止将来发生这种甚至更严重的灾难。我们认为，大流行只是同一潜在动力系统产生的潜在的无数和多形的未来全球灾难之一。我们解释说，有四种广泛但易于识别的系统性，病理性网络化状况正在使文明走向潜在的自我毁灭。只要这些条件没有得到解决，我们就应该将巨灾视为动力学中不可避免的紧急终点。采取集体行动可以逆转所有这四个条件，从而开始创造持久而繁荣的COVID-19后世界。这将需要最大程度地运用预防原则。
