Description

"Le Point Zéro is a visionary, long-scale civilizational diagnosis and proposal that seeks to interpret the current global crisis as a pivotal moment — a zero point — where the old paradigms are collapsing and new ones are beginning to emerge.

Sirbey’s core argument is that the profound turbulence experienced by humanity — ecological breakdown, social fragmentation, technological acceleration, and political instability — is not just a crisis among many, but a meta-crisis signaling the end of an old civilization and the threshold of a new one. The “point zéro” is thus both a breakdown of existing narratives and a generative opportunity to found a more conscious, integrated civilisation.

The book is an investigation into the psychic mechanisms — the cognitive and narrative patterns — that have historically shaped human beliefs and constrained collective action.

A proposal for how to mobilize crisis energy into collective creation, enabling the articulation and realization of entirely new social foundations rather than repeats of past structures.

Sirbey combines historical cycles, psychological mechanisms, and scenario thinking to suggest that this moment requires both deep understanding and active narrative transformation. He frames the present not simply as a period of catastrophe, but as a horizon of possibility: a moment to decode unconscious collective patterns and to co-create new interpretations and forms of civilization.

The first volume — Fonder une nouvelle civilisation — is the opening act of a broader cycle. It sets the conceptual stage for subsequent works that will detail operational strategies, collective transformation pathways, and deeper explorations of consciousness and collective narrative."
