Global Collapse - PO - Global Emergence
******
-- / --
Introduction
Beyond polarization into :
- prophecy of failure
- promissory spin on success (puffery)
- protest
- extoling token responses (too little too late)
- dubious sages on dubious stages
Reframing PO: Either/Or, Neither/Nor
Tasting collapse
Dysfunctional failure
Move beyond facile protest
- enantiodromia
- iconic / exemplars
- misplaced concreteness
Armageddon
- good vs evil
- not that there is an absolute/obvious good
- rather (brother against brother) each defines themselves as "good" and the other as "evil"
Systemic lags
- fragmentation
- time for insights to be disseminated (anlogoue to Roman Empire -- gold)
- IP constraints
- athorization / imprimatur
Principles (wikipedia of aphorisms?)
- Le Chatelier
- Peter Principle
- multiply distractors to prevent fopcus
- Ashby's Fables (Aesop)
- Peter Principle
- multiply distractions
- populating life with trivia (identifying with the momentary rather than the eternal, or the eternal in the moment)
- Black Swan
- use his rule (about making risk money) in response to sust. dev / crisis
- tokenism
- tunnel vision
Self-serving research
- IHT Virginia
- Concert of democracies
Designing options off the table
- population
- employment
Collpase -- Diamond
Imaginative
- dissociated imagination (blockbusters more interesting)
- trivia (doable) -- meaningful
Street wise response
- invoking Mad Max as more genuine and meaningful
Do-able response
- research on immediately do-able techy research (and associated business model)
- image/spin response -- Gates
- foundation priorities
- Black Swan research ???
Value drained from its current holders
- meaningless words: politics, business
- semantic bankruptcy
- despite shoring up with sages on stages
- themselves positioned by spin
- financial deficit precisely models semantic deficit and confidence deficit
- national deficits
- household deficits
Level of lying / Spin
- Selective presentation
- Selective definition (terrorism)
- Tourism
- no longer able to prove/validation when truth is told
- identity validation issues model truth validation issues
Contradictions / Hypocrisy
- inequalities
Gated communities / Ghettoes of the mind
- security
- nice people
- gatekeepers
- bring up children
Centre cannot hold
- >> emergent virtual centre
- >> no overview perspective of adequate strategic subtlety
We are Our Own metaphor
- disease as social metaphor
- elderly
- handicapped
- autism (Temple Grandin)
Backing into the Future
- backside to the future
- look at shadow
- Future report ?
- Black Swan
Better rattles / bangers
Recognize how it will be
- Young shoot old
- Brown water
- Air bottles
- Blade Runner
- Slums
- Terrorism
Self-reference
- gated?
- spin?
Positive spin
- promises
- spin on non-performance
- reframing crtics as subversives
- UN no longer a reference
Categories
- like "key" "notes" on an instrument -- my instrument
- melodies, leitmotivs
- interpreter
- singing in the future
Challenge of "con-versation" processes
- chatting
- exchange
- interpretation / translation
- intercourse self-referential mdelling
- we mirror/model what is important in dysfunctional trivia
- (as the most rapid trigger to learning through its catastrophic collapse)
- designing maximal learning environments
- no construction or synthesis
