Managing the known was a general phenomenon and practicing field for the creatures of 21st century. Although, the past has always provided precedent of transitional and evolutionary transformational mechanism that sheds significance at two extremes either the success or failure. The futuristic approach and one’s smooth convergence to new normal and behavior is referred as success and those who stay bare-footed to catch-up with the evolutionary phases experienced failure at their fate. Indeed, success is the combination of preparation and luck which simultaneously bounced back the mental block there is but one rule hunt or be-hunted.

With the advent of insidious COVID 19 the planet, earth is temporarily shut for holistic maintenance and re-making. Moreover, human civilization requires inventing a new understanding of what it exactly means to be human. There is cooking of new diplomatic order with emergence of new recipe to support the new kind of political philosophy that ensures sustainability during the pandemic and assurance of rebuilding after it passes. The need of time is to build new global public health care systems that can reduce the risk of another pandemic and help save the human life. As soon as human species get adaptable to new taste buds there will be on pathway for defining a new phenomenon and philosophy of what it means to be human. The similar approach is adopted in aftermath of World War II in the wake of massive deaths, social disarray and economic collapse.

In the present world its Coronavirus whereas in the 12th Century was the Bronze Age collapse. Lessons from the past, indeed 3000 years back can help the residents of planet earth explore how to make through the end of world. At the peak of the Bronze Age, there was development of extremely complex and centralized civilizations across the Eastern Mediterranean and Aegean. However, in just a span of 100 years there was hit by one another calamities and it took very long before the region engine started moving pace with advent of knowledge and power of writing. It was followed by series of disasters, which includes a widespread drought in the Mediterranean basin, and the unknown arrival of mysterious sea people. The Bronze Age societies were highly complexed and centralized where the kings or either the bureaucrats decide when, where and how to plant stuff. That was the main point that triggered me so much about our modern day society, which is repeating the same mistake of clashing with laws of nature.

In order to conclude, the new world order in remaking will definitely tame, train and facilitate the human civilization accordingly with some of the new features that were initially disproved but now form the new normal

Indeed, the mere reality survival of the fittest is coherently dependent on governing authorities and their reforms, governance, structure and policies working in the semi-perfect environment with the gazillion other exogenous factors to ensure the sustainability of global populace. Nevertheless, if this system is on the spinning wheel of disruption and took multiple roller coaster rides over a long period at diverse horizon it will ultimately result in collapse.

It is safe to consider ourselves living in the Silicon Age collapse. The microchips the essential ingredient of Silicon age is so far unable to save the global from this pandemic crisis. Likewise, the Bronze based technology was unable to save the formers from system collapse. The power of writing was very uninhibited by the Minoans which left them with no reason to either learn or teach the skill. Likewise, the complex civilization regained itself with the emergence of models that grew out of the post-Bronze age. The city-states remained but there was fall of empires and new emergence of new empires out of them hundreds of year later, which includes Athens, Sparta and Ionia that discovered the complex behavior of trade, patterns of information exchange and Phoenician alphabets, were among the new inventions.

Therefore, after the collapse of Silicon age managing the unknown is to prepare for unknown that is impossible to know now. However, the new world in remaking will call for diverse changes and emergence of new normal that is already in process of reorienting and challenging the modern way of living. Moreover, in the hour of present crisis there is also successful exploitation of available opportunities that translate into more erudite and flexible used of technology, less polarization, and the realization of the importance of the free good and outdoor luxuries.

In order to conclude, the new world order in remaking will definitely tame, train and facilitate the human civilization accordingly with some of the new features that were initially disproved but now form the new normal. The personal interaction becomes dangerous and the social distancing will holds the new normal behavior. The comfort of personal presence of others will be switched to more comfortable experience with others absence. The paradox of online communication will become the phenomena under the prevailing circumstances. Moreover, there is emergence of a new kind of patriotism, which will no longer be equated with armed forces, as the virus cannot be shoot. For instance, in the present circumstances amid Covid-19 front-liners are not the armed forces with ancillary weapons indeed they are doctors, nurses, pharmacist, paramedics, small business owners and employees.

Apart from this, there will be decline in polarization as the unusual shocks hit the global economy after the Covid-19 there is high potential to break the Americans fifty years of legacy of accelerating political and cultural polarization. Indeed these crises have moved the global towards national solidarity and functionality and more based on the President Xi’s ideology of community of common destiny as Covid-19 eventually emerges as the common enemy around the globe. It will also translate into a new civic federalism. Moreover, there will be a revival of faith in serious experts and their research it will no longer be over-looked. The pandemic will also marks the end of intimate association with market oriented society and hyper individualism for instance President Trump is trying to suspend the November election and many other important global events are either cancelled or postponed. With the end of Covid-19, the political paradigm shifts will make more investments in public goods especially health care services. There will be complete change in the religious worship. It is for the first time in history, when all faiths have undergone and still experiencing the daunting challenge of keeping faith alive. There will be exercising of new reforms that ensures plagues do drive change. Furthermore, the regulatory barriers to online tools and digitization will fall. There were creative invention of robots, virtual reality and artificial intelligence, which takes lead of new normal. There will be evolution of digitized health system. Lastly, the bitter truth is human created science is declining overtime but it reigns again with associating supremacy to laws of nature.

In brief, learning from past experiences, promoting creative destruction in present and optimistic to cope up and prepare for new phenomena, new circumstances, new normal, new behavior, new laws and new power poles and pivot is the perfect recipe for successful lead of new order in re-making.
