Systems 101• Simple systems have single points of failure, easy

to diagnose, easy to fix• Complex systems have multiple points of failure,

they interact in unanticipated and hard to perceive ways, are difficult to fix

• Earth is a constellation of complex systems, most of which we did not build, on a downward spiral of entropy and degradation (both among things and the information about and among things).

Charles Perrow 1 & 2)

Page 6: 2009 ubc-the-ultimate-hack-slides-2.0-final-with-notes

Systems 102

• Time is the one strategic variable that can neither be replaced nor bought.

• Changes to the Earth that once took 10,000 years now take 3 years.

• Real-time science and real-time engineering are not optional—they are vital.

• Re-Inventing Intelligence is the sine qua non for Re-Engineering Earth.

What Is Education?

Education should be “the transmission of our mental, moral, technical, and aesthetic heritage as fully as possible to as many as possible…[because] no one man, however brilliant or well-informed, can come in one lifetime to such a fullness of understanding as to safely judge and dismiss the customs or institutions of his society, for these are the wisdom of generations after centuries of experiment in the laboratory of history.”

Will and Ariel Durant, The Lessons of History

Page 13: 2009 ubc-the-ultimate-hack-slides-2.0-final-with-notes

What Import Has Education?

"When Plato says that the office of minister of education is 'of all the great offices of state the greatest,' and that the citizens should elect their very best man to this office (Laws 765-6), he is not pronouncing a platitude, he is making a radical, revolutionary proposition.

Will Durant, PHILOSOPHY and the Social Problem (1916)

Page 14: 2009 ubc-the-ultimate-hack-slides-2.0-final-with-notes

What Is Engineering?

"The social problem" and the task of philosophy is to achieve balance between emergent individualism and the larger social construct that needs civic duty and contributions from all if the group is to be safe and be prosperous.

Will Durant, PHILOSOPHY and the Social Problem (1916)

Engineering Souls and Minds is Higher-Order Engineering….

Page 15: 2009 ubc-the-ultimate-hack-slides-2.0-final-with-notes

What Import Has Engineering?

“The only real revolution is in the enlightenment of the mind and the improvement of character, the only real emancipation is individual, and the only real revolutionaries are philosophers and saints.”

Will and Ariel Durant, The Lessons of History (1968)

Engineering spans a spectrum from the material to the spiritual.

Page 16: 2009 ubc-the-ultimate-hack-slides-2.0-final-with-notes

What Is Intelligent Engineering?Let me count the ways…

Going In Assumption: You Are a Superior Being. You have Just Landed on Earth, a Wasteland.

• Identify and eliminate all toxins & carcinogens.• Identify and eradicate all externalized costs.• Cease and desist all harmful operations.• Eat the tail—engineer the energy-entropy line.• Eat the head—engineer the managing.• Eat the heart—engineer the engineering.• Find the soul—love Earth, it will love you back.

• Diplomats outnumbered by singletons from many other agencies, have no money

• Spies have money, but will only listen to traitors

WHO DECIDES PART II?Where do All Beings Come Into the Decision-Cycle?

WESTERN DECISION-MAKING• Men who manage men

manage men who manage things, and men who manage money, manage all

• Money rules over all else• Secrecy used to avoid

opposition and silence internal dissent

• “Collateral Damage” is not considered consequential

NATURAL DECISION MAKING• Adaptability, diversity,

integrity, inclusiveness, and “group IQ” all determine survival & sustainability

• Money corrupts information• Secrecy degrades

information and makes good engineering impossible

• “Collateral Damage” is to be avoided as a true deep cost

The time for enlightenment has come. We must calmly, and without gloating, assess the root causes of this situation and try to peek into the future.…

In our opinion, we must first atone for the past and open our cards, so to speak.

Key Positive Trends• Wealth of networks: fortune at the bottom of the

pyramid, peace through connectivity, wealth from sharing information

• GreenMind: Biomimicry, beneficial bacteria, green chemistry,

• Information Symmetry=Moral Capitalism: : “true costs” at point of sale; natural capitalism, green to gold, cradle to cradle, home rule, eat local, end of corporate personality

• Left Hand of God: faith-based dialog and diplomacy, obvious need to end our support to 42 of 44 dictators, shunning of cults

• Peer to Peer People Power: from the Tao of Democracy to localized Wisdom Councils to Blessed Unrest to the Clock of the Long Now.

Page 46: 2009 ubc-the-ultimate-hack-slides-2.0-final-with-notes

Key Negative Trends• Collapse of complex societies: catastrophe from disaster

for lack of resilience & adaptation as well as corruption

• Acts of Man creating Acts of God: natural disasters will be more frequent & more severe as we cement more land

• Acceleration of Earth’s Demise: changes that used to take 10,000 years now take THREE years; absent Real Time Science and Real Time Public Policy (online, deliberative, transparent) we die

• Shock Capitalism continues to loot the Earth and has turned USA into a Third World country—UAE (Dubai) is the new Switzerland

• Political Corruption ascendant—44 dictators, both Republican and Democratic parties are “running on empty” and very corrupt, elites in towns across America have sold us out

Page 47: 2009 ubc-the-ultimate-hack-slides-2.0-final-with-notes

Education Is Really Bad EngineeringThe underlying threat to peace and prosperity-the cause of causes—is the ever-widening

chasm between policymakers with power, and private sector experts and participants with knowledge. …

We thus require a strategy to create a virtual intelligence community able to both inform governance, and also carry out a new kind of virtual diplomacy, information peacekeeping. Information peacekeeping can help avoid and resolve conflict, and represents the conceptual, technical, and practical foundation for successful virtual diplomacy—virtual intelligence is virtual diplomacy. Steele, Virtual Intelligence (USIP 1997)

Earth Intelligence Network seeks to create a global educational network:Our goal is to harness the potential of shared information on a global scale that transcends

individual nations’ narrow interests or corporate special interests in favor of both local and global. Ultimately we seek to connect every person to all information in all languages all the time—dots to dots, dots to people, people to people, at each level of community.

With the cell phone, there is NO degree of separation. It’s the wireless version of “hard wired.” Ohm’s law applies—we create a perfect amplification circuit for all human knowledge aka civilization. Earth is nature, WE are Civilization.

Health of Nations

• The Congress of Vienna, the current law of nations, and the de-humanization of state to state relations, isolating the internal affairs and inhumanities of state from global public morality and indignation, are the greatest travesty in human history.

• The state as a corporate personality is as immoral (and irrational in terms of natural law) as is the corporate personality that allows corporations to treat humans as "goods."

Man’s anemic failure to exist rendersa)His PERCEPTION narrow and impoverishedb)His IDENTITY “locked in” and stagnant

c) Leading to an overall sense of inCOMPETENCE and anticipated loss

d) He fails to INVEST authentically or intensely

e) And by devising non-SUSPENDING, RISK-reducing strategies

f) Avoids trying to BRIDGE THE (wider) DISTANCES to others

g) And is often unable to make a SELF-CONFIRMING, SELF-TRANSCENDING IMPACT (even over shorter distances)

h) But seeks domination of, or submission to, others’ perspectives in a non-dialectical, negantropic failure of SYNERGY

i) He accepts little or no responsibility for FEEDBACK, which leads to disINTEGRATION and lack of COMPLEXITY in himself and his victim.

c) And the synthesis of those into his anticipated and experienced COMPETENCE

d) He INVESTS this with intensity and authenticity in his human environment

e) by periodically SUSPENDING, his cognitive structures and RISKING himself

f) In trying to BRIDGE THE DISTANCE to the other

g) He seeks to make a SELF-CONFIRMING, SELF-TRANSCENDING IMPACT upon the other

h) And through a dialectic achieve a HIGHER SYNERGY

i) Each will attempt to INTEGRATE the FEEDBACK from this process into mental matrices of developing COMPLEXITY

Human DNA molecules, which are information carriers, consist of 2300 million nucleotides, which contain the information for nearly one million genes.

We are grains of consciousness in a global mind.

The structure of the involved matter itself is not the key to understanding but instead, it is the process that is central.

[Given the 100,000,000,000 galaxies surrounding the Milky Way we must conclude] that at this moment there may exist ten million planets with advanced cultures outside our own galaxy.

It is not possible to see the end of the expansion of consciousness, not in space, not in time, not in complexity of information processes. Nevertheless, somehow all levels of self-organization of matter and information processes through space and during time seem to converge into something that might be called the Universal Mind.

Evolutionary Eras What Do We Need to Know? 1st Generation Easy: Where is the Army? 2nd Generation Easy: Where are the trenches?

3rd Generation Moderate: How many with what?

4th Generation Hard: Watch every non-state actor.

5th Generation Hard: Watch everything on the fly.

6th Generation Hard: Make sense of billions of bits.

7th Generation Very Hard: 24/7, 33+ languages and get your own house in order. As quickly as possible, 183 languages going back 200 years, then 400.

Bill Clinton28 January 2009D, Switzerland

A lot of us [NGOs] have lost a great deal in that our wealthy donors have not been able to contribute as generously as they have in the past. We are going to have to learn how to use the Internet and global communications to reach every citizen, to redefine global citizenship so that every citizen, including all those of modest means, feels a responsibility to give, to donate. And in the end, we will be stronger. Paraphrase as recollected by Robert Steele

Thinking Holistically

Everything is Connected—Get a Grip!

Page 97: 2009 ubc-the-ultimate-hack-slides-2.0-final-with-notes

Synthesis• Liberty or Duty?• Capitalism or Socialism?• Anarchy or Panarchy?• Federation or Confederation?• War or Peace?• Live and Let Die or Live and Help Live?• Brute Force or Brain Power?

We started with an emphasis on PROCESS.Let us end with an emphasis on SYNTHESIS.

Between two competing alternatives, the answer is ALWAYS “Some of Each.”

Truth, Trust, Time

Every community needs two Truth & Reconciliation Commissions

First for “what have we done to our own indigenous & impoverished?”

Second for “what has been done to others “in our name?”

Nobel Prize given in 1990’s for a gamer who demonstrated that Trust Lowers the Cost of Doing Business.

Trust—Morality—is to the physical as ten to one in terms of creating a prosperous world at peace.

Time is the one strategic variable that cannot be bought nor replaced. Use it or lose it.
