Future Directions and Open Everything (draft)

Micro and Macro

  • A set of senses and muscles (culturally so many sensors and effectors )
  • Nourishment and waste in opposite directions in the bloodstream (freeways)
  • A brain of many cells connected via a nervous system (a culture of many brains connected via the internet)
  • A body has a micro-biome, survival by interaction with other life (a culture has a biosphere)

  • Recursion at multiple levels

Profit is Sustainable – If You Build Upon Intelligence with Integrity

There are so many success stories today on the edges of the economy and society – EcoVillages, Transition Towns, and Intentional Communities among them – but the core concept of sustainable profit consistent with social and ecological integrity has yet to go mainstream. At the same time, the progressive activists are nearly incoherent – they do not share information, lack tools for thinking, and have virtually no political power to speak of. On this point, see Mich Sifry’s lovely new book, The Big Disconnect: Why the Internet Hasn’t Fixed Politics (Yet).

There is good news on two fronts. First, a breaking of ranks among the elite, moving away from their industrial-era control precepts; and second, an emerging concept for uniting the eight information networks needed to create sustainable future-oriented hybrid governance rooted in ethical evidence-based decision-support.

Three or four years ago I described what I called “the book findability” problem. The audience was a group of confident executives trying to squeeze money from an old school commercial database model. Here’s how the commercial databases worked in 1979.

. . . . . .

What the write up triggered was the complete and utter failure of indexing services to make an attempt to locate, index, and provide a pointer to books regardless of form. The baloney about indexing “all” information is shown to be a toothless dragon. The failure of the Google method and the flaws of the Amazon, Library of Congress, and commercial database providers is evident.
