This contribution uses metaphors originated in the Dynamical Systems Theory to describe the potential pathways in the evolution of human societies and how, through the accumulation of tensions at critical points, bifurcations can emerge, for the good or the bad. Making the bifurcation go in the right way is no easy task, and it requires changing our framework of interpretation, by backcasting from desirable futures.
