When we begin to use knowledge to show us what we don't see, so that we may see a theme or an issue as a whole, a vision of a world on the brink of change results; and of a whole new order of things, which is ready to emerge. We call the emerging order of things the [[holotopia|<em>holotopia</em>]]. The  [[five insights|<em>five insights</em>]] are selected as sufficient to see the [[holotopia|<em>holotopia</em>]].
 
 
<p>The Convenience Paradox insight, which is introduced here, is one of them.</p>
