(Just making the question by George legible)

Thanks for enlarging on this very fertile model. You seem to be saying that the resonance comes form deep within the individual cell or individual (at our scale). That is some thought provoking conjecture. Is there an analogue to the fact that the f…

I am with you here. Let's find the imaginal cells in our vicinity (hopefully there are always some) so that face to face cluster groups can be assembled. There will still have to be talk and thinking, but that will be together, and therefore on a di…

Janos, if it's a brief introduction why don't you post its text here. Downloading would require some extra step for which you don't give a justification to people who are not already fans of Stafford Beer.

Leo Burke and Janos Abel are now friends

George, you have expanded on the answer I was going to give: find others who are asking the same question. Then, together, bold answers may come which would be too intimidating to a lone individual.

The title of this conversation is "Quality of life for all". I assume that the "all" includes the third of humanity who barely manages to survives physically---not to mention the millions who fail to survive. So my quality of life would be charact…

In Global Action Plan we believe that every person on the planet can enhance her/his quality of life if empowered to take action - to live and work increasingly sustainably. So who decides what is quality of life? Who empowers whom, and how?

Profile Information

Please tell us what inspired you to join our network.
I am a confirmed (and concerned) world citizen.

Concerned, among many other things, about governments still treating their people as though they owned them.
What are your main concerns about climate change?
Climate change, if we are a main contributor, is but a symptom generated by a dysfunctional world society.

Treating the symptom (co2 emissions, etc.) is a diversion from the causes of many other threats equally dangerous.
What are the main faces of your creativity that you bring as your gift to the world?
Ability to look below the surface at the few causes of the many problems which are threatening to overwhelm and demolish the "civilization" we have been building during the past 10,000 years.
What is your burning question that, if answered, would make the biggest difference in your work for a better world?
How to redirect thousands of good projects so that they follow a convergent, co-creative path?
Where is your website if you have one?

"Higest" + "lowest"

The post industrial economic system is offering to release human beings from economic bondage. Will society allow this, and turn towards the next evolutionary development?



An outmoded belief system makes our success story into a threat to the survival of twenty-first century civilization. The world looks as though it were worse off at the start of the new century

"Staffordian" Group Synergrity

A brief extract to introduce an integrative group model developed by Stafford Beer et al. (Extract from World In Torment p13)




Please consider a group of five friends. No one is in charge of them. They have various interests in common, which is why they are friends. They talk about their interests - round the fire, walking in the park, over coffee, in the pub... If they discuss

Don't forget the "nuts and bolts" of a new civilization

It is simple.

We have to earn a living like any other species. The way we do that is called an economy. But economic practices are influenced by the social science we know as economics. Unfortunately, today's economic reality is distorted by faulty and out-of-date theories emanating from economics as a thought process.



Economic theorists tell us, individuals, that we need jobs.
Well, reality tells us that we need an income more fundamentallyContinue
