Abstract

Living in a VUCA worldVUCA world can easily provoke feelings of unease and dissatisfaction. It has led many people to develop alternative realities and to rearrange their worlds. Against the background of the VUCA world in the Netherlands, many rearrangements have been set up, some of them relating to food, others to care or to money. After a short description of nine such Dutch rearrangements in the areas of food, care and money, I will answer the following two questions: What forms of simplicitysimplicity can be found in these initiatives? What benefits does the implementation of simplicity confer on our societies? I will conclude with some evaluating remarks about a cultural shift that is at hand in our societies.
