ABSTRACT
The worldview of a person determines how they look at problems and what actions they take to achieve their desired results. Facts, laws, routines, rules of thumb, evidence of effectiveness, habits and regulations help people to lead their lives without undue confusion. Many problems that seem manageable in the short term may prove to be more complex in the long term or when seen in a broader context. Fossil fuels were once considered an outstanding resource for heating, mobility and industrial use until people realized that the Earth was warming-up and climate change was becoming a wicked problem. A new development, in an effort to cope with uncertainties, is the large number of people seeking support from digital networks. Bubble worlds are sensitive to populism, manipulation and fake news as ‘popular’ views are spread via websites and social media. Big data technologies and personal profiling enhance the impact of widespread views and altered news.
