Consciousness., The Future of Mankind, Visions of the future.

 

(Twenty-minute read) 

Many moons ago the beady eye said that Adam and Eve were black and lived in Africa but never meet each other. 

Why? 

BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT CONSCIOUS OF DOING SO.

Jeremy Griffith’s breakthrough biological explanation of the human condition — ends all the conflict and suffering in human life at its source, and provides the now urgently needed road map for the complete rehabilitation and transformation of our lives and the world!

Here is the essence of Griffith’s theory :
 
The human condition began when a conflict arose between our instinctive orientation and the need for our developing intelligence to experiment with self-management. We have a genetic orientation towards ideal, i.e. selfless behavior. This is our conscience.

He explains that when we humans developed a conscious mind some two million years ago, a battle unavoidably developed between it and our already established instincts. 

Now I have to admit that I have not read his book Freedom nor am I a member of the World Transformation Movement (WTM) but I have listened to his Utube videos in which he argues that we don’t suffer genetic opportunism-driven animal conditions but a psychologically troubled human condition that can be cured.

Is he right?

No one is born with an unforgiving insistence that they or others conform to any kind of ideal.

Consciousness is a fascinating but elusive phenomenon: it is impossible to specify what it is, what it does, or why it evolved.  Apparently, nothing worth reading has been written on it up to now – his book 

                                           ——————

We appear to be conscious beings, but atheists tell us that this is just an illusion.

We all have a sense that we’re responsible for our actions; but, we’re told, this is not so and, in reality, our ‘moral choices’ are simply determined by the brain chemistry of our genes.

I say to have realism one must be consciously aware. In other words, if we were not conscious we would not have this psychological condition or indeed exist in the first place. 

Even secular philosophers acknowledge that consciousness appears to transcend science and naturalistic explanations. Not only can they not explain it, but they can’t even define it.

                                  ————————

So the questions are: 

Why do we and the universe exist in the first instance?    

Where did our consciousness come from?   What is it?

What causes consciousness and how does it translate into the subjective experience?

Could the origin of consciousness, exist before the formation of the brain?

If our genes are in the control, there is no need for a conscious.

Could our conscious be live after the death of the brain?

Quantum physics begins to entwine the origin of consciousness with ourselves. It suggests that instead of consciousness computing the physical world, perhaps the physical world is relaying consciousness. 

Take the double-slit experiment recording electron patterns on a recording screen.

By having a conscious observer seeing the path, the outcome is changed. So consciousness alters particles in the real world in a measurable way.  

Does that mean that a unifying theory of physics between quantum and relativity could be consciousness itself?

Throughout the ages, some of our greatest minds have probed this question and struggled to find answers.

In short, there’s no answer to this question.

Modern neuroscience has so far failed to discover a part of the brain to explain human consciousness.  

                                        —————

Today, different disciplines offer varying definitions.

There are generally two sides of belief in the definition of consciousness.  

One is very simplistic. It describes it as the result of a product of electric signals in your brain.  

The second has a grander view that consciousness exists on planes of matter beyond our human senses.  

The most popular theory of the 21st century states that, while consciousness has moral and social importance, it’s likely just the byproduct of neural processes of the brain.

There are two fundamental characteristics of consciousness: sensation and desire. 

Robots and computers carry out complex tasks but feel no sensations or cravings. Therefore, they don’t possess consciousness.

People have no way of knowing how consciousness is created or if artificial intelligence will one day gain the power of consciousness. 

After all, if consciousness is truly the byproduct of neural pathways and electric currents in the brain, what’s stopping the same development from occurring with wiring and circuit boards? 

According to Turing, if the subject can’t determine which is the person and which is the computer, then the computer should be considered sentient.

However, the future cannot be known for sure. 

In fact, many animals can pass a modified version of the Turing Test. While this doesn’t prove consciousness, it strongly suggests that animals likely experience consciousness similarly to humans.

In conclusion:

Now I fully acknowledge I am not an expert in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, or theology but I believe I do have a good understanding of basic science and the human mind. 

I say Jeremy Griffith’s is wrong.

I think he has taken this plausible scientific question and bastardized it with a lot of mumbo jumbo and spurious assertions.

Anything we have done is in the past and cannot be changed, thus it is pointless to do anything else but accept it. No regrets or guilt.

While our actions can harm others, our thoughts and emotions, in and of themselves, never can.

While emotions sometimes drive actions, those who completely accept their emotions and allow themselves to feel them fully, have more choice over how they act in the light of them.

The basis for loving behavior towards others is the ability to love ourselves. And loving ourselves unconditionally means loving ourselves exactly as we are at this moment.

This might seem to be complacency, but in fact, the natural activity of the individual is healthy growth, and what holds us back from it is fighting with those things we can’t change and the free thought and emotional experience which is the very substance of that growth. Indeed Jeremy Griffith’s solution seems to think that women have no input as its men that are the cause of  

History shows that no matter what humans do, we can never change them, hence absolute world peace is impossible.

Why?

It is important to accept that many things don’t happen for a “reason” or as part of some “higher plane.” into an unknowable future.

Humans have no idea who they are as a result of their actions are the cause of word instability.

The universe exists for us only in our brains and minds and instability is not something that you touch hence cannot be solved by physical means.

No one can ever truly know our conscious experience or feel our pain no matter how close we are to them.

 Each time a new generation comes it has to learn from the experience before it can accept certain philosophies of life. Meaning is considered a purely human invention, not something that is inherent in the universe or our lives. Thus, in an intrinsically meaningless universe, it is up to people to create meaning for themselves.

If one accepts the existential realities of a godless human condition, what can one do to make peace with it?

Our ability to ponder our own thought processes, recognize our own mortality, and still, be able to imagine future scenarios and make plans for them is what makes us human. 

It seems, therefore, that physics is the engine that produced and drives the universe.

It will inevitably create chemistry which, in turn, will eventually create biology that will evolve and change over time.

In this view, human life occurred on this planet due to nothing more than the random but inevitable behavior of matter and energy-producing atomic, physical, and chemical processes that lead to life. There is no creator, no design intelligent or otherwise. Just the unavoidable processes of matter and energy mindlessly and meaninglessly obeying the laws of physics. Where awareness emanates from consciousness which seems to be an energy or movement of particles, that transfers between two existences.

Hence, in the grand scheme of things, the human condition is just like that of all other organisms. An existence is driven by the biological imperatives of survival and reproduction.

Where does this electrical stimulation come from?

You could say, in contrast, that the Bible provides a wholly satisfactory framework upon which to build an understanding of human nature but the universe, it seems, is utterly indifferent to human happiness.




World peace is possible but not one which is orchestrated by humans.

 

 

Industries such as the agricultural industry reject his claim.

By maintaining that animals don’t possess consciousness, they can continue to disregard the emotional and social needs of their livestock. For example, if a cow isn’t conscious of its surroundings, a farmer can argue that keeping it in a narrow stall isn’t cruel because the animal will have no emotional response to its experience. 

A neuron itself is incapable of experiencing consciousness. The brain as a whole could be considered a minimal unit. But the ‘seat of consciousness’ could be broken down further.
 
The origin of consciousness could occur before birth and the creation of the brain. Within the undiscovered dimensions of the universe.

Now it’s up to you. So, to armor oneself against the existential razor wire of simply being,

Take responsibility for one’s actions and their natural consequences; create an illusion of meaning and purpose in life, and accept the unpredictable and unknowable inevitability and permanence of death, then one can make peace with a purely secular existence.

The biggest core problem I see is that our society is now way too big and complex for either our intellect or instinct to cope with. Intellect and rationality are NOT necessarily capable of addressing every real-world problem.

The solution is unlikely to come from such simplistic reasoning and research as conveyed by this movement. (The World Transformation Movement (WTM)

Those videos did not come across to me as showing any real new insight into the real problems we confront. They seem a bit confused, with some less than accurate assumptions about ‘human nature, to me.

For me, Jeremy Griffith’s breakthrough biological explanation of the human condition is projecting his own inner confusion and sense of conflict onto everybody else as though he has had a ‘revelation’ as to how to address it. With all due respect, he needs to take a proper look at humanity and the world it lives on. 

Spare me the biological determinism. It is not a psychologically troubled human condition that is the problem it’s the coming Climate Change. The continuing inequality and Profit for Profit’s sake.

The way we understand ourselves and our world is always evolving. From instinct to intuition to intellect, part of being human is using multiple ways to gather and utilize information.

In our outdated materialist worldview even with technological advances, science has not yet revealed everything about how reality works, and humanity’s promise – to ourselves, to each, and to the planet – has not been fully realized.

Our future demands that we explore our inner space with the same rigor and ingenuity as we explore our outer world. Our technology must increasingly be infused with the wisdom that comes from personal inquiry, and the lens of science must be applied to the further reaches of human potential.

This, for the survival and thriving of humanity and our planet, is one of the most important endeavors of our time.

In the end, it is our thoughts that will change the world.

“The idea of universal consciousness is no ethereal New Age concept;

It’s a hardcore scientific reality, and harnessing it has the potential to transform our world,” says the fictional Dr. Katherine Solomon in Dan Brown’s book The Lost Symbol. She continues, “I promise…if we as humans can grasp this one simple truth…the world will change overnight.”

So where do consciousness and the quantum mind leave our definitions of the world and human origins?

(Eighteen-minute read) THE LOGOTYPE

The Global Goals are a set of universal Goals, which set out a plan to tackle the issues that affect us all, no matter where we are in the world, from climate change to health, from gender equality to peace and justice.  

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set in 2000 are. 

Goal 1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere.

Goal 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.

Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.

Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

Goal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.

Goal 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.

Goal 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all.

Goal 8: Promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all.

Goal 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation.

Goal 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries.

Goal 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.

Goal 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.

Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts*

Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development.

Goal 15: Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.

Goal 16: Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels.

Goal 17: Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.

They are intended to be universal in the sense of embodying a universally shared common global vision of progress towards a safe, just, and sustainable space for all human beings to thrive on the planet.

The different goals and targets however represent different degrees of challenge and ambition for different countries depending on their present state of development and other national circumstances. The balance between the social, economic, and political efforts needed to deliver the different objectives is also likely to be different in different countries.

There are all verbal Goals with no legal binding, interconnected to each other and so far we have failed to provide the support to turn any of the desired goals into reality.

The U.N. can’t compel any country to do any of the things required.

The rationale for any goal must increase everyone’s stake in the goals so that when they come into effect, countries will swiftly incorporate them into national policy decisions — in other words, take them off the page and into practice.

There’s a real danger they will end up sitting on a bookshelf, gathering dust as there’s still no clear consensus on where exactly the money will come from to achieve any of them.

In the end, we are one people living in one world and all Goals require financing.

So the goals are a waste of time and money and won’t matter unless we as individual and national governments take them seriously. 

                                ———————

The only way to combat the changes we are now witnessing in our plant is if we all start financing the changes required. 

One of the first things you would hear in economics class is that there is no free lunch, meaning that nothing in life is free. Everything exists in a limited supply. That means that everything has value.

 We also know that governments and countries can’t tackle anything that requires a long-term commitment.    

The bead eye has been promoting the following solution to creating a worldwide value that would afford an opportunity for all of us to invest in a just future. 

A perpetual funded Fund of trillions, totally transparent, with rewards to all investors that would transfer the UN verbal into positive actions. 

Here is the idea again.

Can you improve or find fault with it? (Comments below) 

It would give all of us an opportunity to invest in the sustainability of the plant.

It would give the United Nations clout not just worthless resolutions. 

The Solution:  

The United Nations-backed by world governments issues Non-tradable Green PRIZE Bonds,

These Bonds would pay interest dividends that move in line with inflation rates, guaranteeing a percentage yearly return depending on the value of the bond.

The interest is guaranteed by all world governments. 

Bought online like lotto tickets each bond carries an identification number that is entered into a weekly prize draw, and a yearly prize draws equivalent to 0.005% of the funds raised. 

Draws are fully funded by the players, through revenue made from ticket sales. 

Most of the biggest and most popular lotteries on the Lotter have some form of prize guarantee.

Take EuroMillions, for example. The EuroMillions jackpot starts at €17 million, which means that there is a €17 million guaranteed jackpot.

The pan-European EuroJackpot is similar, with a guaranteed minimum jackpot of €10 million.

The UN green Prize bond would be a  progressive jackpot one in which if the jackpot is not won, it will carry over and grow for the next drawing.

The distribution of the funds raised by the Bonds must also be transparent and distributed as non-repayable grants.

This would be undertaken by an executive non-departmental public body not attached to the UN to avoid any vetoing.  

It would vet all applications for funds to verify that they meet the values set by the UN, peace, dignity, and equality on a healthy planet.

Once accepted all projects would enter a draw for funding which would ensure that no lobbying and corruption with money going to community groups and health, education, and environmental projects. 

There is considerable work to be done to create a realistic, coherent approach to improving our divorce from reality.

You only have to look at what has happened to the climate change goals.

Just as leaders around the world were starting to think seriously about tackling global warming it is now derailed for a decade by the Ukrainian/Russia conflict.  

We’ll have to wait and see if that will really happen.

  

What if every child was aware of the key global challenges of our time?

THE BEADY EYE ASKS: IS THERE ANYTHING THAT IS ACCEPTED UNIVERSALLY?

03 Sunday Apr 2022

Posted by bobdillon33@gmail.com in #whatif.com, 2022: The year we need to change., Universal values.

The Future of Mankind, Universal values., Visions of the future.

(Twenty-minute read) 

YOU MIGHT THINK THAT IN OUR ONGOING EVOLUTION THAT THIS IS A VERY BASIC QUESTION.

Because value creation is the starting point for all businesses, successful or not, it’s a fundamental concept to understand. 

Value is created through an irreversible process that gives a resource’s ‘order’ greater usefulness to other humans.

Under this definition, almost any activity can be value-producing, and under our Capitalist system, all businesses must create value, and as a result, we have all become products.

But the commoditized of humans into products is not a pathway to success.

In the real world outside of economic theory, a value is considered universal when it goes beyond laws and beliefs; it is considered to have the same meaning for all people and does not vary according to society.

 I don’t think plunder of finite resources counts as value creation. 

UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS NO POINT TO LIFE IF WE ARE UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND – THAT THERE CAN BE NO LIFE WITHOUT THE EARTH WE ALL LIVE ON.

This is universally true in all cultures at all times, but achieving this – REMAINS ELUSIVE.

This has led me to stop and ask myself, “What has happened to universal values?

Are there no issues, no beliefs, and no values that people everywhere can agree on?

Is there really no commonly shared right or wrong?”

Because we live in a world where every issue is multi-faceted, where every issue has advocates and detractors, where positive outcomes for some are viewed as negative outcomes for others.

                                               —————– 

Universal values ​​are believed to be the basis of human integrity, but their definition and existence remain concepts widely discussed in psychology, political science, and philosophy.

The idea of ‘human rights is not universal – it is essentially the product of 17th and 18th-century European thought.

Even the idea of ‘rights’ does not necessarily exist in every society or advanced civilization.

A human right is ‘natural’ in that everyone owns them, not because they are subject to any particular system of law or religious or political administration. They can be asserted against individuals, but they express the political objective: that governments must respect, protect and promote them. That so if answered by any of the above you would be hard-pressed to get a straight answer because values interact with each other.

The problem is that any universal values clash in their representation by the breadth of goals, wisdom, social justice, equality between humans, and a world of peace, harmony, and beauty.  All are open to wide interpretations.

The first is that a large number of human beings, under different living conditions and subjected to different beliefs, find a certain human characteristic as valuable. In that case, the characteristic in question would then be called a universal value.

This is the reason that there is no universal acceptance of universal values and this is reflected in the nonunity of nature, the protection of the environment, and the harmony of each person with himself.

Universal values cannot remain constant or change because they haven’t been defined.

                                          ———————–

Besides being alive, what are universally accepted human values that define ‘a good life’? 

The list includes  “Love”, “truth”, “justice”, “freedom”, “unity”, “tolerance”, “responsibility”, and “respect for life. ” 

According to the Oxford Dictionary values are something that deserves esteem for itself, which has intrinsic merit. 

There is no ultimate truth and all things are relative, so everything requires debate and decision.

If universally accepted values exist, do they remain constant or do they change over time?

There is no answer to the question. 

In fact, cultural relativism is a belief that opposes the existence of universal values; proposes that a value can not be universal because it is perceived differently in each culture. All the religions of the world attempt to give meaning and definition to life.

However, it is our conscience that convinces us there is something wrong with suffering, starvation, rape, pain, and evil, and it makes us aware that love, generosity, compassion, and peace are positive things for which we should strive.

In fact, the very laws of science are founded on the existence of absolute truth.

If there are no absolutes that define reality but all scientific study must by necessity be founded upon the belief that there are objective realities existing in the world and these realities can be discovered and proven. Without absolutes, what would there be to study? How could one know that the findings of science are real?

Based on cognitive function and life experience, human values dictate how individuals live, their preferences, priorities, principles, and behavior (Debbarma 2014; Hanel, Litzellachner, and Maio 2018).

So what are human values from the 20th century to date?

What is universal is the phrase ” What we need is ”  not  “what we want.”

There can be no douth with the use of smartphones/social media is changing values to  “situational ethics,” the belief that what is right or wrong is relative to the situation.

As cultures evolve and societies develop, people’s ways of thinking about good and evil are transforming and the nature of this transformation is a matter of speculation.

Human values themselves have transformed into social values that are shared and respected by society members, serve as guidance for individual expectations, and help to manage differences in harmony (for example cultural, political inclination, spiritual, and belief differences) in a peaceful way (Tsirogianni and Gaskell 2011).

Is repetition in mass media shaping our cultures into increasingly censorious-driven societies?

The way we tend to think about matters of right and wrong is different now from how we once did and, if the trends are to be believed, how we will in the future.

                                            ——————-

Today, our political order faces new threats, Changing patterns of language use over time may reveal alterations in how people have made sense of their world and themselves.

Take the modern consciousness of war in terms of our values suggesting ideas of moral virtue are becoming less culturally salient.

The notions of logical truth, a priori truth, and necessary truth are disappearing in the frequency of a set of virtue words such as “conscience”, “honesty” and “kindness” over the 20th century.

A necessary truth is what happens to be the case and could not fail to be the case.

A contingent truth is what happens to be the case but could fail to be the
case. An a priori truth is what is known, independently of any empirical input, to
be the case, while an a posteriori truth is what is known to be the case only given
some antecedent empirical knowledge

In deciding what to count as a truth of logic, another criterion that comes to
mind is that truths of logic should obey the rule of necessitation.

As it turns out, it is very hard to think of universally accepted ideas about what the generic properties of logical truths are or should be. 

Most of these words showed a significant decline in popularity so that many people forget

                               ___________________

In the end, ownership has a lot to do with value. 

Why do some of us take ownership of the state of the world and others don’t?

By creating a disparity between who takes action and who doesn’t, we’re creating a small subset of entitled people and a larger, more insensitive world

Because we are not connected, we don’t give and empathize naturally.

Creating this sense of ownership, connection, empathy, and compassion should not be left to chance, but should be bred into all of us through the education system and how we raise our children.

our attention on the wrong problems and drives us to the wrong answers, taking our politics down rabbit holes that do nothing to help us.

If all of us could feel connected to just one other person in the world, to our immediate environment, or to the food we eat, this domino effect has the power to transform everything.

How do we think about value that’s created, but never monetized?

We all must buy into what is left of the earth, to stop wars, climate change, and inequality. 

We need to open up our views on value so revenue is the measure of value creation — not profit.

In order to do achieve this, we create a perpetual World aid fund by placing a 0.005% commission on all economic activities that are profit for profit’s sake. (see previous Posts)

At the same time, we allow all of us to invest in our future with Green Bonds (see previous posts)

Software and related services dominate more and more of value creation but do not connect us to the planet we live on.  

If we feel connected to the earth big structural changes can and do happen if not rest assured we will be paying for the values of life.

In the meantime, a different approach to news reporting – one that emphasizes the ways people cooperate to solve problems – would have a tonic effect.

Value creation in the future will be based on economies of creativity which is Universal. 

All human comments are appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.

THE BEADY EYE. TOLD YOU SO: WITH NO SOLOUTION TO THE RUSSIAN/UKRAINE WAR WE ARE HEADING FOR A MASSIVE RECESSION

26 Saturday Mar 2022

Posted by bobdillon33@gmail.com in 2022: The year we need to change., The Ukraine.

RUSSIA/ UKRAINE/ US/ NATO/ EU., Visions of the future.

 

( Fifteen-minute read) 

Severe sanctions on Russia with the rectitude of the Pandemic are now creating a deep recession, resulting in an economic downfall that will be felt by people around the world.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has so far driven energy higher but the knock-on effects are yet to be seen. 

If Vladimir Putin retaliates to wester sanctions by cutting off Russian supplies of Oil /Gas the result will not be just a recession but civil unrest.

                             —————–

Of course, one would be a fool to predict what happens in a war. 

Beyond the military cost and the Human costs, this war is rapidly

turning into a quagmire not just for Russians but for all of us.  

It will not just be pushing millions into poverty and threatening

a deep recession as it evolves into a proxy war with which to

attack Russia and through it China. 

We have seen nothing yet.

                            ——————

When it comes to inflation the war’s international economic effect is starting to show in the numbers. 

If the cost of energy and food is pushed up by dwindling supplies caused by the Russian-Ukraine conflict we will see inflation go well beyond 10%.  

Both countries, Russia or Ukraine,  were once dubbed “the breadbasket of Europe”, exporting about a quarter of the world’s wheat and half of its sunflower products, like seeds and oil. 

For example, in the UK there are about 2.2 million homeowners with mortgages linked to the Bank of England’s base rate would see repayments go up, putting further pressure on household budgets that are already being squeezed by the cost of living.

Russian stocks crashed by as much as 45% in the wake of the Ukraine invasion with trading subsequently suspended, with banks and oil companies among the worst affected. It also led to steep falls on stock markets elsewhere around the world: in Europe, the UK’s FTSE 100 index has fallen over 6% since Russia crossed into Ukraine while Germany’s Dax index is nearly 10% lower.

Everyday goods – which may seem far removed from the conflict – but Russia is a leading commodities exporter.

Russia is one of the world’s largest suppliers of metals used in everything from aluminum cans to copper wires, to car components, such as nickel, which is used in lithium-ion batteries, and palladium, which is used in catalytic converters.

What we lack is a government with vision, courage, a sense of urgency, and basic competence coupled with an understanding that the world has changed.

With truth has been rejected by most of the

world’s population well before the shooting wars

started.  It is difficult to discern what the

planned end state of this war is.

However, as we all know the truth is the first casualty of wars so it’s a good time to start really learning how to watch what is going on. 

Here are some raw facts.

Partitioning a state causes all sorts of problems. This is how Ukraine and Northern Ireland were created in the first place – people meddling with the borders of territories.

Russia would need 800,000 troops — almost equal to its entire active-duty military — to control Ukraine long-term in the face of the armed opposition.

The slow advance of Russian troops in Ukraine shows that NATO’s fearmongering about some huge Siberian tiger force is fake; Putin commands only a paper tiger. Ukraine doesn’t need a NATO and neither do bigger states like Germany, France, Italy, or the UK.

The Russian army still has far superior firepower to the Ukrainian army. This superiority means that, despite some localized Ukrainian counter-offensives, it retains the initiative.

Faced with the hostility of the Ukrainian population united by this invasion, the Russian army will have difficulty maintaining control of the conquered territories. A protracted guerrilla war would ensue. 

In a nutshell, the confrontations would continue for many more long months, even years.

Russia will not just let what’s left of Ukraine go its merry way to become another problem in a decade or so.

Something will be formed and the Russians will mostly go home but NATO will not give up on stirring the pot. They may even fold what is left into NATO and then it will really be game on.

So, we have a new war to watch.

For some, it is just a weird kind of entertainment. For others, it is a good way to refine our thinking skills and our understanding of the world. We learn how to work through misinformation and build a clear picture of what is really going on.

Where is this going to stop? 

There is always a need for political courage to create space for peace and leave room for a political settlement. It takes two hands to clap.’ whatever the circumstances.

Ukraine is now engaged in a direct conflict with Russia. As a result, the model must be Ukrainian. In the event of an agreement based on these principles, the Kremlin would undoubtedly struggle to present as a “victory” a situation that, in fact, would be more “locked-in” than the one that existed before the invasion began.

Part of the problem is that Ukraine was not a neutral country when Russia first invaded it. The country formally abandoned its neutral status in late 2014. 

Neutrality is not a neutral concept but a complex political one, with major implications for countries’ international and domestic policies and development.

Relations between the EU and Nato the West, especially those countries that have acted in supplying weapons to Ukraine or implementing sanctions, are very unlikely to return to the state they were in before this conflict but Ukraine is just not the wake-up call to nations that new order is emerging.

So the real question, as civilians continue to be killed throughout Ukraine and negotiators try to hammer out a compromise, is this:

What arrangement would preserve actual independence for Ukraine, while still being acceptable to the Kremlin?

The war going on in Ukraine right now is about using Ukraine as a buffer to all the problems of sovereignty in a world that is going to see more conflict as Climate change forces people to move. 

How best to respond to a Russian invasion that threatens fundamental principles of sovereignty and respect for international borders that had, in theory at least, served as the foundation of European peace and security since the end of the Second World War.

Putin declared at the end of his Feb. 23 address : 

“Whoever tries to interfere with us, and even more so to create threats to our country, to our people, should know that Russia’s response will be immediate and will lead you to such consequences as you have never experienced in your history. We are ready for any development of events. All necessary decisions in this regard have been made. I hope that I will be heard.”

While stopping short of threatening the use of nuclear weapons, Putin’s comments left no doubt that any intervention by NATO as an organization, or individual NATO members, in Ukraine would result in war with Russia.

NATO is playing a risky game, however, by continuing to supply lethal weapons to Ukraine that originate from and are shipped through NATO members’ territory.

While the threat of NATO overreach in providing air support to the Ukrainian government exists, the greatest potential for a NATO-Russian clash in Ukraine rests in the ongoing flow of refugees from Ukraine into neighboring territories.

If Russia begins its long-anticipated assault on Kyiv or otherwise engages in activities that dramatically alter the situation in the rest of Ukraine, it is anticipated that millions more Ukrainians will be seeking refugee status, creating the real potential for one of the greatest humanitarian emergencies since the end of the Second World War.

If the war in Ukraine continues unabated at a level equaling or exceeding its current scope and scale, it is not a stretch of the imagination to think that there will be a refugee-induced crisis that will require some form of humanitarian intervention.

Perhaps it is time for NATO and EU diplomats to act in a proactive fashion, reaching out to their Russian counterparts in an effort to anticipate both the problem and the solution, in a manner that does not create the conditions for inadvertent military conflict.

What is going on in Ukraine is tragic.

Ukraine has always been between a rock and a hard place with its history of being torn between East and West will not be easy to overcome.

However, the most positive outlook for a unified and prosperous Ukraine involves moving beyond this false and outdated dichotomy.

No nation of any standing will accept the presence of inimical ..interests surrounding its geographical borders.

There is a solution to the crisis in Ukraine, however — although it would require the West to think about the country in a fundamentally new way.

Is it time European nations and the USA gave serious thought to the need for the objectives of NATO?

I’m not sure NATO was ever solely a defensive force; it was equally a tool for US domination of Europe. 

We are left with the Question.

Why do wars occur and recur, especially in cases when the decisions involved are made by careful and rational actors?

There are many answers to this question.

For my part, they arise from an agency problem either on the part of the current ruler or the leader of the attack. There must exist incentives for conflict and some barriers to the ability to reach an enforceable bargain.

To fully understand decisions to go to war, such decisions cannot be divorced from the broader endogenous armament environment in which they reside.,

A peace agreement only becomes attainable after the balance of power has shifted so that it becomes in both sides’ interest to agree to peace.

This can take a long time.

THE BEADY EYE ASKS. WHEN FORMING A WORLD VIEW WHAT IS UNDERSTANDING?

(Twenty-minute read) 

Mutual understanding is the most important value anyone can have today, right after our need for food, shelter, and health but when it comes to a worldview our understanding appears to be a widening misunderstanding of where we are going.

We witnessed what the Covid pandemic did and what the current wars are doing. Understandable to some extent on one hand, but on the other, completely ununderstandable.

Why?

We have yet to understand that the world we live in is no longer available for making a short-term profit for the few to the detriment of the many and the planet. 

Society now exists in an arc of tension towards that which is not, or is not yet., 

                          ————————-   

It’s so difficult to agree on what understanding is it is almost impossible to mitigate the confusion – by embracing the fact that not only is “understanding” borderline indescribable, but it is also impermanent because understanding is evasive, constantly changing, and as dynamic as our own imaginations.

The challenge is to develop a way of thinking that builds critically upon the initial negative standpoint, a way of understanding that negates the untruth of the world.

Millions of war refugees are loses themselves for the sake of others. In doing so become enslaved and miserable to the most capricious of all gods.   WAR?

If hope is not grounded firmly in that same bitterness of history, it becomes just a one-dimensional and silly expression of optimism.

We can’t get there with science/technology and wars alone.

It is going to take more the purposes of God.,

In a world full of suffering beyond comprehension/understanding I don’t think any of us can fully understand anything and are not meant to.

However, understanding is the only melting pot of wisdom, a gateway to: 

Knowledge: The collective information and facts acquired through education or experience. Knowledge is awareness.

To gain knowledge, one has to spend time and effort to know things by reading, listening, seeing, experiencing, studying, and getting familiar with certain things. Without interest or passion, one can hardly acquire knowledge.

Wisdom:  The quality of having good judgment based on knowledge.

To gain wisdom, one has to have knowledge first, and then use conviction to make a good judgment out of that knowledge.

Understanding:  The ability to understand one’s knowledge and choices. It is the realization of your decision. It is knowledge and wisdom put into action.is the ability to understand one’s knowledge and choices. It is the realization of your decision. It is knowledge and wisdom put into action. If knowledge is power and wisdom is your choice to use that power, understanding is the execution of your choice to use that power. We develop understanding when we practice what we preach.

To gain understanding, one has to have both knowledge and wisdom first, and then put them into action.

Insight:  The capacity to gain an accurate and deep understanding of one’s knowledge and choices.

To gain insight, one has to have all of the above: knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.

Do they all mean the same thing? 

Obviously not but they all need each other.  

So is there such a thing, such as a worldview.? 

A worldview or world-view is the fundamental cognitive orientation of an individual or society encompassing the whole of the individual’s or society’s knowledge and point of view. A worldview can include natural philosophy; fundamental, existential, and normative postulates; or themes, values, emotions, and ethics. 

Simply it is the principle of treating others no differently than you would like to be treated yourself. 

There is no such thing as a view from nowhere: We are not data crunching reason machines, but experience the world through the lens of our past, our communities, and our deep values. 

Why is it important to understand worldview?

Understanding our own and others’ worldviews can help build empathy, self–awareness, and understanding in our increasingly diverse societies.

Why?

Because there is no such thing as a neutral perspective on society or a neutral education.

Young people need to learn to interrogate the default secular assumptions of society as much as the assumptions of religious traditions, and a worldview approach would encourage this.

The worldview should not be seen as a focus on the content to be taught but as a way of framing how that content is introduced to the students.

Greater knowledge of religions would still be a key aim of the subject; as it is important for those of us with a Christian worldview to fight for the hearts and minds of people in order to build a society of equality. 

It should be one of the most compelling and socially meaningful segments of the school day, helping pupils grow as citizens equipped for the world as it is now – this requires a shift from the current “world religions” information-based paradigm to a focus on worldviews, which means a more nuanced study of the lived experiences of people of different religions and beliefs. 

Unfortunately the above is only words. We simply cannot oversee all the variables and possible outcomes of events but the human brain is more productive when it is given time to learn what distracting information it can disregard. Even with this shift from curriculum, instruction, and teacher actions, and toward data, assessment, and learning, there remains uncomfortable murkiness.

Currently, because life emerged from non-life and more complex life forms evolved from less complex one’s reality and humankind’s true values are formed by an impenetrable mess of Human beliefs.

These beliefs are Theism. Pantheism.Christianity. Spiritism. Buddhism. Postmodernism. Atheism.  Humanism. Judaism. Islam. Naturalism. Agnosticism. Existentialism. Marxism. Polytheism.  Hinduism. Taoism. New Age Consciousness. Animism. Thousands of Religions.

Nothing in this post has changed the horrors of the society in
which we live. How many children have died needlessly since I started to write it? How many have since you began to read it?

Theism – is the most widely accepted worldview in the United States, with approximately 67% of Americans identifying as Christians, 2% as Jewish, and 1% as Muslim. Even so, few Americans have consciously developed a specific worldview, and many of them embrace various aspects of pantheism, naturalism, humanism, and postmodernism.

Pantheism – is the dominant worldview throughout Asia, and polytheism is prevalent in areas of the world that are predominantly tribal. Many aspects of pantheism and polytheism overlap, so the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably.

Only the spiritual dimension exists. All else is an illusion. In spiritual reality, Brahman is eternal, impersonal, and unknowable. It is possible to say that everything is a part of God, or that God is in everything and everyone. Humankind is one with ultimate reality. Thus man is spiritual, eternal, and impersonal. Man’s belief that he is an individual is an illusion.

Christianity –  An infinite, personal God exists. He created a finite, material world. Reality is both material and spiritual. The universe as we know it had a beginning and will have an end. Humankind is the unique creation of God. People were created “in the image of God,” which means that we are personal, eternal, spiritual, and biological. The truth about God is known through revelation. The truth about the material world is gained via revelation and the five senses in conjunction with rational thought. Moral values are the objective expression of a supernatural and absolute moral being and therefore remain constant over time.

Spiritism –  The world is populated by spirit beings who govern what goes on. Gods and demons are the real reason behind “natural” events. Material things are real but have spirits associated with them and, therefore, can be interpreted spiritually. Humankind is a creation of the gods like the rest of the creatures on earth. Tribes or races often have a special relationship with some gods who protect them and can punish them. The truth about the natural world is discovered through the shaman figure who has visions telling him what the gods and demons are doing and how they feel. Moral values take the form of taboos, which are things that irritate or anger various spirits. Taboos are different from the idea of “good and evil” because it is just as important to avoid irritating evil spirits as it is good ones.

Buddhism – Truth is an experience of unity with “the oneness” of the universe. Truth is beyond all rational description. Rational thought as it is understood in the West cannot show us reality. Ultimate reality is impersonal, so pantheistic thinkers believe that there is no real distinction between good and evil. “Unenlightened” behavior is that which fails to understand essential unity.

Postmodernism –  Reality must be interpreted through our language and cultural “paradigm.” Therefore, the reality is “socially constructed.” Humans are nodes in a cultural reality—they are a product of their social setting. The idea that people are autonomous and free is a myth. Truths are mental constructs meaningful to individuals within a particular cultural paradigm. They do not apply to other paradigms. Truth is relative to one’s culture. Values are part of our social paradigms as well. Tolerance, freedom of expression, inclusion, and refusal to claim to have the answers are the only universal values.

Atheism – The material universe is all that exists. Reality is “one- dimensional.” There is no such thing as a soul or a spirit. Everything can be explained on the basis of natural law. Humankind is the chance product of a biological process of evolution. Man is entirely material. The human species will one day pass out of existence. Truth is usually understood as scientific proof. Only that which can be observed with the five senses is accepted as real or true. No objective values or morals exist. Morals are individual preferences or socially useful behaviors. Even social morals are subject to evolution and change.

Humanism – emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, individually and collectively, and relies on rationalism and evidence over the transcendent or supernatural. Humankind is part of nature and has emerged as the result of a continuous evolutionary process. His total personality bears the imprint of the social and cultural society surrounding him. The truth may be found through science (critical thinking and empiricism) and philosophy. Values are derived and steadily improved from a philosophy of utilitarianism, ethical naturalism, or evolutionary ethics.

The problem with all of them is that when confronted with the armed struggle they accept from the beginning of a war that it is necessary to adopt the methods of the enemy in order to defeat the enemy:

                                  ——————–

airplane flies over the small planet

Even now, many people realize that there is something seriously wrong with the present system (wars, poverty, pollution, inequality, etc.) However, it is the awareness and understanding of an alternative to this which is missing. 

Capitalists in their present form had no economic interest in maintaining those, who worked for them. The vast majority are forced by their circumstances, to become economic slaves to the rich minority.

Employment is accurately described as being exploitation since the value of what the workers produce in the form of goods and services is much greater than the value of the wages/salaries which they receive. (Considering that the richest 10% of the world population earns 52% of the global income, while the poorest 50% of the population earns just 8%.) The surplus-value is pocketed by the capitalist class and is a very important source of the wealth of the ruling class.

The notion of cohesive communities and societies, and their role alongside globalization, privatization, and financialization in restoring trust in capitalism. But if the current system is so bad, what are the alternatives? Is there a way to reach an acceptable standard of living for all people without depleting natural resources and degrading habitat?

Within the confines of the capitalist system, it’s necessary to completely change the economic system.

Many ideas of alternative economic models have popped up over the years, which questions the constant need for growth that capitalism has embedded in the economic system.

Instead of focusing on profits and consumption, the emphasis is on social and environmental well-being as ways to attain a good life for people. We need to rethink the way we organize our economy and undergo a transformation in our way of life.

Societies need to use fewer natural resources and have different lifestyles than today.  

Production and consumption need to be reduced so we have a society that supports each other and only takes what we need.

I’m probably not the only one feeling like this is too idealistic, but at the same time, I think some form of sufficiency thinking is necessary to get back in line with the resources that are available on planet Earth.

A common sense of solidarity among all humans seems a bit naïve in light of both history and current events. But with the plight, our economic system is pushing us and our environment to Wars and to Extension of the very environment that we are all relying on. 

Alternatives are desperately needed.

Why?

Because continuous growth would lead to a stagnant, not reducing, ecological footprint.

Basically, a shift in not only people’s behavior but also their values can only be achieved by the introduction of a universal basic income.

People should learn to live with less and appreciate the value of “conviviality” and non-economic values.

This is no easy feat and has of course invited skepticism from others.

However to grasp the core or essence of the state of the world to date there has been no decoupling on the global scale, and both emissions and GDP are still growing.

We have to lower carbon emissions much faster than we are likely to be able to change the economic system. Even with a world governed by technology the interconnected global nature of the abundant world is coming to an end.

There are so many moving parts in learning what should be a relatively simple relationship between us and the earth perhaps the most powerful thing that you can do to combat the slippery notion of understanding is to use your buying power to Understand and know are interchangeable. 

Not to settle for just paraphrasing understanding and a worldview in overly-simple words and phrases like “they get it” or “proficiency.

Really understand, ‘internalize knowledge in a world view of I’m all right Jack are not founded on religious beliefs, political ideologies, and greed. 

The Earth belongs to all of us.

If you want it to remain so now is the time to play an important role in the evolution of a more intelligent world and inspire a shift in the way we see the planet. 

It is not possible to calculate the value of life. 

“If we can get people to go beyond the aesthetics,” says Astronaut Grant, “and contemplate exactly what it is they’re seeing – and consider what that means for our planet.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS: MUCH WORSE THAN THE RUSSIAN/UKRIAN WAR IS ON THE WAY IF WE DON’T MAKE THE NEEDED CHANGES.

14 Monday Mar 2022

Posted by bobdillon33@gmail.com in #whatif.com, 2022: The year we need to change.

Technology, The Future of Mankind, Visions of the future.

(Nine-minute read) 

In the daily hubbub of current “crises” facing humanity, we forget about the many generations we hope are yet to come.

Why?

Here are my reasons.  

Because humans are bad at doing anything about problems that have not occurred yet.

We have extinction happening at alarmingly fast rates combined with short-term political ambitions packed with statistics and updates on the challenges we face.

With no universal legal constitution for the earth, as global citizens, we must come together on every Social media platform to demand change and put us and the earth before profit.  

Because we now live in a world of threats and disasters that could end history.

Human activity such as the development of weapons of mass destruction has been steadily shaping the future of our planet with a sense of powerlessness and fatalism about it. Right now the risk of somebody deliberately releasing something devastating is low but as technology gets more powerful in the future nastier pathogens become easier to design.

Because there is “youth disillusionment” around the world as capitalism has turned everything needed for life into a product. Certain global issues cannot be solved by on-the-ground, grassroots-style projects. 

Because In a world full of risk – geopolitical upheaval, cyber attacks, climate change, and natural disasters the only thing left to avoid wars is Sport which is now, unfortunately, being used for political interference. 

Because it is a mistake to think that nuclear war is impossible. In fact, it might not be improbable but it’s not the explosion that will be a disaster its the nuclear winter that would follow.

Because while people are enjoying the highest standards of living in human history, the interconnected global challenges we face are pushing institutions, communities, and individuals to their limits.

Because the knock-on effects of the coronavirus crisis, threaten to scale back years of progress on reducing global poverty and inequality and further damage social cohesion and global cooperation.

Because the democratic world is being hijacked by technology in the form of the internet with profit-seeking algorithms and social media pluralism.

We do not have a good grip on just how dangerous different forms of superintelligence would be, or what mitigation strategies would actually work. It is very hard to reason about future technology we do not yet have, or intelligence greater than ourselves. (Of the risks on this list, this is the one most likely to either be massive or just a mirage.)

Because of the, I’m alright Jack inequality. Global poverty has not been eradicated.

Billions are at risk of missing out on the digital leap forward, as growing disparities challenge the social fabric. Even more worrying is that in trying to explain things to artificial intelligence we run into profound practical and philosophical problems.

Should such a jump occur there would be a large difference in potential power between the smart system (or the people telling it what to do) and the rest of the world. This has clear potential for disaster if the goals are badly set.

Human values are diffuse, complex things that we are not good at expressing, and even if we could do that we might not understand all the implications of what we wish for. If consciousness or intelligence are lost, it might mean that value itself becomes absent from the universe.

Because we are living toward incredible times where the only constant will be changed. 

Because the Ukrainian war could be the last human war.

There are plenty of more low-hanging fruits on the destructive technology tree.

                            ————————-

Foreign policy of the United States

 

Even just reading the above list seems overwhelming; imagine being a head of state trying to implement it in your sprawling national bureaucracy.

Of course, the U.N. can’t compel any country to do any of these things. So the goals won’t matter unless individual national governments take them seriously.

Of course, there are some risks we cannot do anything at all about, such as gamma-ray bursts that result from the explosions of galaxies. But if we learn we can do something, the priorities change. For instance, with sanitation, vaccines, and antibiotics, pestilence went from an act of God to bad public health. 

The most unsettling possibility is that there is something out there that is very deadly, and we have no clue about it.

                                    ————————

It comes as no surprise with the outbreak of war in Ukraine that the environmental risks that once weighed heavily on the minds are now on the back burner. 

While the state of our planet is petrified by Putin’s threat to use Nuclear weapons the use of cyberattacks to target critical infrastructure and strategic industrial sectors raises fears that, in a worst-case scenario, attackers could trigger a breakdown in the systems that keep societies functioning.

Nanotechnology like biotechnology, increasing power also increases the potential for abuses that are hard to defend against.

Technology is no longer the major limiting factor. We are.

If we want to be around in a million years we need to correct that.

                                      —————-

In the meantime, we’re heading towards a world of perfect knowledge with blockchain commerce and digital transfers of value and assets disappearing into cyberspace. 

With a trillion sensors gathering data existing healthcare institutions will be crushed because Biometric sensing (wearables) and AI will make each of us the CEOs of our own health. 

The screen as we know it — on your phone, your computer, and your TV — will disappear and be replaced by eyewear.

So where are we?  Where do you even start?

Even though we live in the 21st Century, it’s unbelievable how much prejudice we all have. There’s racism, homophobia, nationalism. There are still classes in our society, even though not as clear as centuries ago. And people still judge other people based on… Well, absolutely everything, which, when you think about it, is… nothing!

To take any resolution to the problem off the page and into practice there has to be unlimited finance.

This can only be achieved by increasing everyone’s stake in the goals ( see the previous post on creating a World Aid Fund)  If we do not put in place a mechanism for social and environmental change, generation after generation will pay the price for our idleness.

Our insatiable appetite for industrial growth only fuels our dependency on ever-dwindling resources – without replenishment or reprise and to devastating effect.

Empowerment is what the world needs. We have the potential to save and improve the quality of millions of lives by providing the people of the world an opportunity to invest in a green bond, ( See previous Post on Green bonds)  

The more I think about it, the more I realize that the progress of society is defined much more from the decisions and the actions of the majority, than the breakthroughs of any one man.

We don’t all have to like each other, we don’t all have to understand each other, but we do have to respect each other. 

Respect is never earned by a Dictator. It is either enforced/bought as Dictatorship is a place where public opinion can’t even be expressed privately.

Artificial Intelligence., The Future of Mankind, THIS IS THE STATE OF THE WORLD.  , Visions of the future.

 

( Fifteen-minute read) 

Up to now, we humans have tried everything to change the planet that we all live on – such as wipe out each other,  political systems,  cities,  religious beliefs, weapons of mass destruction, world organizations without any global clout, financial institutions manipulating power, money, elections, corruption, all enhancing inequality.

All are devoid of any asperation for peace and sharing. In fact, we have designed a world around the mantra  ” Pay as you go ” which includes all aspects of life even the privilege of paying for your own funeral. 

In the meantime, Earth is never stationary it spins at 1000 miles per hour. 

As Galileo Galilei said, “Nature is relentless and unchangeable, and it is indifferent as to whether its hidden reasons and actions are understandable to man or not.” 

                                                  ————

 The “New Earth” that people envisioned never quite materialized as predicted. 

With the dramatic worldwide impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and now a new war in Ukraine, one could not be blamed for thinking what next rather than where next. 

I suppose that eventually, we will reach a tipping point, after which we will consider 4D/5D things “normal”.

Maybe in the distant future  “enlightenment”, will be more about knowing yourself as the consciousness that is witnessing reality.

Creating one’s reality for life and the planet that we truly love in which we are fully conscious and in full control over everything that we experience in our subconscious reality. Even so, we will still not be in full control of what happens to us and the environment we are in, because of our collective inability to agree that we are all the same.

So where are we? 

The most distinctive aspect of our approach is the lack of ‘long-term’ action.

Longterm is the idea that because such huge numbers of individuals might live in the long-run future, and because we think everyone’s interests matter equally, approaches to improving the world should be evaluated mainly in terms of their potential for long-term impact — over thousands, millions, or even billions of years.

In the 1950s, large-scale production of nuclear weapons meant that a few world leaders gained, for the first time, the ability to kill hundreds of millions of people.

This was a striking milestone in a robust trend: as technology improves and the world economy grows, it gets easier to cause destruction on an ever-larger scale.

This is where we are.

                                        ——————

When we look at the history of the human race, we see many examples of major moral problems that most people were completely oblivious to. These include slavery, the deplorable treatment of foreigners, the subjugation of women, the persecution of people who aren’t heterosexual, and the gross mistreatment of animals.

New transformative technologies may promise a radically better future, but also pose catastrophic risks, and mitigating these risks is presently all but totally ignored.  Work on mitigating many risks remains remarkably neglected — in some cases receiving attention from only a handful of researchers.

With machine learning, the fate of humanity may come to depend more on the actions of machines than our own. This could lead to large, rapid improvements in human welfare, but there are good reasons to think that it could also lead to disastrous outcomes.

The problem of how one might design a highly intelligent machine to pursue realistic human goals safely is very poorly understood. You might think ‘why can’t we just turn it off?’, but of course, an intelligent system will give every indication of doing exactly what we want, until it is certain we won’t be able to turn it off.

Even if advanced machine intelligence does not get ‘out of control’, it is likely to be very socially disruptive and could be used as a destabilizing weapon of war.

There have been surprisingly few serious attempts to make such big-picture comparisons. 

There are many global issues we haven’t yet seen investigated much at all. These are not always the biggest problems in the world — rather they are the issues that receive little attention compared to how important they are and how much can be done about them.

Different problems could be bigger if there are problems that humanity hasn’t even thought of yet. And it seems likely that we haven’t discovered all the serious global problems which exist.

You might think by now that world politicians won’t be motivated to act on the results of global priorities.

I would say that if anyone is looking at the state of the world our focus should be more on oneness and unconditional love for all existence with a distinct set of rules about what you can and cannot do.

So here is the good news.

Humanity’s superior intelligence is pretty much the sole reason that it is the dominant species on the planet. 

The chance of great power conflict this century was around 45%, now it’s 100% and the chance of an extinction-level war was around 1% it is now with technology a lot more than doubters cannot dismiss.

(Five-minute read) 

THIS POST IS FOR ALL THOSE CHINLESS WONDERS WHO BELIEVE IN PROFIT FOR THEMSELVES. 

It’s no longer good enough to measure the overall wealth of a nation whilst glossing over inequality or consequential environmental degradation.

Why? 

Because it is quite apparent that capitalism is stuck while the longer-term future has been transformed by the pandemic and climate change.

It has no answers to a host of problems, including disease, inequality, the digital divide, and, perhaps most blatantly, the environmental crisis the biggest problems of our time.

Rethinking the role of government nationally and in the international economy is now reaching critical a point – to put public purpose first and solve the problems that matter to people – are now the central questions for humanity.

It is imperative that responding to the climate and nature emergency is integrated across all economic activity, with an explicit commitment to moving to a more circular and resource-efficient economy.

The capacities and role of government within the economy and society,  above all need to recover a sense of public purpose in order to reshape the economic development to invests in people and businesses drive prosperity, and reduce inequality.

Our economic well-being is without any doubt tied to our environmental, cultural, and social well-being.

One can say this till we are blue in the face but the Covid crisis has removed any doubt about the fundamental role of the foundational economy in the well-being of a nation. (This is the part of the economy which could not be shut down as it provides the infrastructure of everyday life)

So investing in social care, childcare, housing, energy, low carbon, and digital connectivity not only addresses the foundational needs of civilized life but can offer meaningful and rewarding careers and be harnessed for economic development.

A holistic approach to the economy, recognizing its potential for harm as well as good, demands a holistic way to measure progress.

None of the above is possible unless we find a way of committing to long-term projects that are both politically and financially sound.  

Our problem is that governments are subjected to short electrical terms in office so long-term objectives are not a priority. While the electoral population pays ever-increasing taxes either to fund a project or rectify a mistake, (without any real commitment to the project in the first place) other than a general election and a new manifesto of verbal diarrhea can deserving projects be fulfilled to completion?

What if we were to introduce legal mission statements that could not be changed till achieved,  ‘magnet projects’ funded not by taxation but by voluntary participation in the form of willing support in allowing citizens to support projects by buying sustainable green bonds with guaranteed returns and Loto style financial monthly prizes.

If we are to genuinely tackle the problems that we have created lets us genuinely participate by putting our money where our mouths are.   

       Too often overlooked in economic development.

You also might be led to believe that monetary activism is financial triage against world economic collapse but ask yourself what kind of political creatures are money printing spawning.

What we are seeing is the economy going online with businesses and organizations in receipt of public funding far from being totally transparent with online profit-seeking algorithms that are now driving a hidden non-paying tax economy. 

The pandemic points forward to realizing that our economic models are not dealing with the growth of inequalities.   

Money must be made to serve the people not the other way around social value 

Imagine a society where everyone can have an equal say in the issues that concern them. Above all, a world, in which all the people own and share the wealth that we need in order to live. These would be enormously exciting times because, at long last, human society will have evolved to the position of being able to tackle effectively the challenges facing the modern world.

So here is your chance to contribute by suggesting your solutions or improving on the above suggestion of Mission Economics.

THE BEADY EYE ASKS. WHY IS IT AFTER YONKS OF EVELOUTION THAT WE ARE STILL FIGHTING EACH OTHER?

27 Thursday Jan 2022

The Future of Mankind, The Holocaust., Visions of the future.

 

(Fifteen-minute read)

This post is so the world remembers the Holocaust, its victims, and those of other attempted acts of genocide throughout history. The Holocaust was one of the most unimaginable crimes in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated six million Jewish people.

                                             —————–

I am of the mindset that there is more to this question than just debate itself. One has only to look at the state of the world to see that we have not and will not stop killing each other. 

Since time memorial it has not changed nor will it.

Climate Change with all its pending consequences is going to lead to conflicts all over the world but it might allow us to develop an ” Objective hatred” in which the hate objects are not a human scapegoat but something impersonal like poverty, disease oppression, or natural disasters to turn our destructive energy to creative use.     

It’s not if climate change is going to peel back the layers underlying so many contemporary issues in today’s society, science, and religion, and specifically, creation vs. evolution, ( that hovers very near the surface of the teaching of evolution)

Combined the consequences of climate change with profit-seeking technologies that are already fueling INEQUALITY beyond what we know now and we are looking at a world that no one wants to see. 

Thanks to Hollywood, Smart TV, SmartPhone, and Social Media platforms all containing graphics pictures of killings we are evolving as desensitized humans.

If so, where are we going?

                                    —————

The changes with technology unlike evolution will not be gradual.

“Exciting”, maybe or, indeed, even noticed.

Are we Evolving?

The short answer is “Yes,” we’re still evolving, in different directions but not in ways that excite most people.

Might we be on the verge of a different type of evolution, in which our technological prowess further integrates our biology with machine-like intelligence, processing, and mechanical capabilities? 

We’re sick of hearing “Why are there still monkeys?”

Will evolution be a change in the frequency of genes in populations or will it be with personal genetic engineering?

Then we have another situation with a larger variety of different versions of our species, all still being enslaved by technology.    

Our brain size might increase but it remains pretty useless in stopping wars.

Might the time be at hand in the next few centuries where we create our replacements altogether morphed by our technologies. Something along the lines of hard drives that expand our brains, connectivity to a hive mind, Borg-like capabilities, machine augmentation of our senses, and the like…so that our evolution shifts from natural forces in the environment to digitalized enhancement.   

For many, the Darwinian view of life – a panorama of brutal struggle and constant change is the reason for all the killing. 

When Darwin’s theory of evolution was first published in the late 1800s, it covered only biological evolution. What is profound is that the more complete scientific evolutionary story really only started to come together in the last 50 years!

You cannot change one factor without changing another. 

Evolution and Creation are essentially creative processes they are no longer separate things in themselves.

Therefore in the first place, it would appear now, with gene editing augmentation and technological advances we will indeed survive only to morph into a digitalized species with all that is good and bad, still fighting each other. 

“Nature has shrugged off countless species in the history of the earth, and she will shrug off Homo sapiens with no more concern than any of the rest.” –Louis B. Ziegler

It leaves us with the grand existential question of what meaning it all has for us.Reaper, Grim, Death, Scythe, Dead

Humans are killing the planet and all its inhabitants.

Why?  For what purpose?

Will future population growth along with economic development will be humanity’s fatal flaws, bringing about “unprecedented levels of extinction risk?

The answer is that there is overwhelming evidence that habitat loss and fragmentation, over-exploitation of biological resources, pollution, species invasions, and climate change have increased rates of global species extinctions to levels that are much higher than those observed in the fossil record.

If humans are supposed to be conscious and loving, why do we cause and allow such hideous suffering to happen in our society, including the killing of other fellow humans?

If we are at least partially preprogrammed by evolution to kill our own, what can be done (if anything)? 

Why do we kill each other at all?

The reasons are innumerable. 

Beliefs, love, jealousy, pride, guilt, revenge, mercy killing, honor killing, drugs (altered states), delusion, self-defense, economic gain, suicide, justice, power, psychopathy, and sport… and all in the name of personal gain, nationality (war), religion, sect, caste, creed or gender.

We want something to change as a result of our actions.

Humans have evolved with a propensity to kill one another that is six times higher than the average mammal. (Maybe, we are beginning to recognize we can feel empathy and feel the urge to take action when the subjects of injustice are not human and need somebody to channel their survival urge.)

However, the level of lethal violence has changed through human history and can be associated with changes in the socio-political organization of human populations.

Most sane humans, if given the choice, will not kill their fellow man.

                                           —————

In a world in profound transformation. We have to find alternative activities to give that sense of feeling alive of belonging and purpose. 

The fact that so many societies throughout the world fail to offer equality makes our future prospects of peace look very bleak. 

If these needs are unsatisfied and there is an obvious enemy or oppressor to direst them towards then warfare is almost inevitable.

Instead of focusing on abstract, boring, cold data projects such as The Ocean Cleanup show how huge multilateral issues no government wants to deal with, such as plastic polluting the oceans, can be tackled by building systems that accelerate inequality.

While society provides a hero system that allows us to believe that we transcend death by participating in something of lasting worth the history of life on Earth is a history of extinction and ecological failures, but it is also a story of the formation of new forms.

The best we can hope for society at large is that the mass of unconscious individuals might develop a moral equivalent to war.

No prediction by any expert can tell us whether we will prosper or perish but at what cost do we purchase the assurance that we are heroic? 

Expect no miracle cure.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS. WE ARE CREATING A DANGEROUS DIGITAL INVISABLE WORLD?

( Fifteen-minute read) 

We all know that there is an invisible world and that today it is undeniably digital.

This invisible world is becoming both powerful and dangerous leading to digitalizing without a system of oversight of the way we operate in the world, resulting in not just hidden powers but a decoupling between human rights and democracy.

On one hand, digital democracy, or eDemocracy, uses the internet, social media, and technology to improve our democratic systems of governance. 

On the other with our electronic overlords, ( Smartphones, Pads, Apple watches, TV, Web Services), this world of invisibility is been driven by non-accountable, non-transparent commerce, operating profit-seeking algorithms, with self-learning data collection codes, that no one comprehends.

As our day-to-day lives are increasingly immersed in technology, it is easy to lose perspective on things that matter. 

The capitalist world of profit and power is disappearing underground.

New technologies – from social media and GPS systems to artificial intelligence and digital twins – make the planet we inhabit unrecognizable from even 20 years ago and it’s only going to get faster, changing how we live.

The rise of the sharing economy, online marketplaces, and digital platforms are shattering old barriers and reducing the distances between industries, societies, and places, all of which are without adequate regulations are vanishing from scrutiny and accountability. 

                             ——————

While it’s true that today, leaders need to deal with unprecedented changes and an unpredictable and challenging future due to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Climate change, and the covid pandemic they need to be more agile, to deal with sudden changes and challenges that any one of these will bring.  

Why?

Because the status quo as the inertia of past success can be crippling for the future.

The paradox of leadership lies in staying focused on the present, while also visualizing the future and creating a roadmap to reach it.

This is a major problem requiring Statmanship on a global scale.

                                —————–  

Why is all of this happening now?

What’s interesting about this question is, there’s no answer to that question.

What I think is so true about that is, with technology even nonconformists are conforming.

Why?

Because these days it’s difficult to not see how real the invisible world is affecting our lives and the systems that govern life.

Today, with the covid pandemic’s we see it is very rare that you find someone that’s not influenced by anyone else.

You don’t have to be a digital native to behave like one.

It’s the invisible world we want to connect with in order to maintain the magic in life.

Why?

Because a world without emotions will be a sterile world.

Yes, the invisible world is real.

It is the limited life of a limited mind.

Increasingly, this limited value is delivered through new cross-sector, outcome-based propositions, rather than traditional sector-specific products and services.

We have all experienced trying to get to speak to a human to solve a problem with a service – press one press two – listen to music – you inquiry- will be answered – press 3 if – till you give up.

If you can spell it you can’t enter it. A society that is dependent on technology can create inequality.

                                           ————-

To stop this invisible world people must take ownership of things as the digital world is not about technology, but people.

At a time when geopolitical tensions are on the rise are at their highest level this century.  And this turbulence is escalating.  Even nuclear non-proliferation can no longer be taken for granted.

At the same time, we see trade and technological conflicts that fracture world markets, undermine growth and widen inequalities.

And all the while, our planet is on fire.  The climate crisis rages on.

With Climate Change, we are risking a ‘great fracture’ between world powers, each with their own internet and AI strategy, as well as dominant currency, trade, and financial rules, and contradictory geopolitical and military views.

With dwindling natural resources, an unstable world climate, viruses on the rampart, not to mention the effects of pandemics on world trade, inequality, the world does not need politicians that do not think of the next election but statesmen of the next generation.      

 It is crucial to ensuring a united world.

Those yet to be connected remain cut off from the benefits of this new era and remain further behind. People need money to access the internet and buy the latest devices.

By 2050 there will be 9 billion people to feed, clothe, transport, employ and educate.

Maybe that’s not really bad when you think of what’s coming next. You couldn’t call it a fully digital world yet. It’s not even close.

However, there’s room to dream about building the world we want, instead of the one we’re turning into. 

As we pursue unlimited growth, our limitless consumption threatens to crowd out everything else on Earth. We are warming the climate, overspending our financial resources, requiring more fresh water than we have, increasing income inequality, diminishing other species, and triggering shockwaves whenever we can’t cope with a problem. Billions are committed to a growth-driven world economy.

Our world is full of screens. We keep them in our hands, purses, and pockets, next to our beds while we sleep, and surround ourselves with screens on our desks and countertops. Our TV sets are morphing into interactive screens as we put them online so they display everything for free.

What if that networked system brought everyone the world’s best services, resources, and knowledge-based on what we do, as a normal part of everyday life?

                                           ————————

The top-down approach is no longer sustainable in the Economic/ Power/ or Democracy Capital Accountability. Leadership needs to be vigilant and create a long-term sustainable value proposition for all stakeholders.

The same technologies are giving rise to new business models, with organizations using digital to create and monetize new forms of value. Disruptions in the digital world occur at a phenomenal rate.

They have the power to impact the way entire industries operate reshaping entire industries with profit-seeking algorithms.

Although giving up your data was once an afterthought when gaining access to the newest internet services such as Facebook there aren’t many great options available to limit what is seen and known about you online.

YOU BECOME A DIGITAL FORM OF YOURSELF IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD OF THE INTERNET.  

How do we define what a digital human is?

Worthless, a form of entertainment to have conversations with yourself without being able to show emotion and behavior as a real human. 

So, is the invisible world the real world?

Hard to say, but I think it’s what makes the visible world worth living in.

When someone dies, the essence of that being merely inhabited that form – the life within the form was always invisible.

Digital leaders will have the power to shape the future of our world.

When we want to believe, there is still time to interrupt the announced disappearances of so many plant and animal species which, if we are not careful, will lead to our own end.

This situation cannot go on. It is our common duty to avoid it.

While risks intersect and technologies develop quickly, too often our institutions for governing international security remain reactive and slow-moving.
