I am completely committed to finding and assembling the
right pieces and parts to create the consummate low cost, high impact
collective action platform that will be both a dashboard for Spaceship Earth
and a power train for collective change as and when needed. I call this effort Prometheus Project and the intention is to create a process that allows all the citizens of the earth to exercise a degree of democracy that defines and manages the well being of everything from Earth down to them individually, without the need for yet another layer of governmental hierarchy, especially given how poorly the bulk of them in existence today actually perform.
The encompassing environment, the noosphere, will
consist of a network of networks, constituted by a massive number of mini-KINS, KINS Networks, evolutionary circles, and other small engaged groups or even
energized individuals, that provide an ongoing substructure of activity, and
information flow, both to and from each other and the later described fusion
center for small group actions, project collaboration, collective larger group
action, and sharing the vision.
This network of networks will interact with a Planetary
All-Source Fusion Center (PASFC) that is linked to what Barbara Marx Hubbard would call (in the context of SynCons) a synergy engine. This is best described as a
process (see the diagram - Critical Global Parametric Data Warehouse) that
gathers a comprehensive set of data about the state of the world by enhanced
and expended measures of value, synthesizes analyses of this mass data
collection process, and makes the results available via the PASFC, using
flexible functions such as data mashups to display dynamic data changes as they
are occurring and allowing a continuous monitoring Crisis Team to evaluate the
critical dysfunctions that require larger collective action.The core element of this is already taking shape as an element of GEO and GEO-BON.
When various criteria of social/environmental, or
planetary function, exceed certain thresholds of reality or functionality, one
or more CCA (Collective Corrective Action) Synergizers (much evolved SynCons),
or something like it, becomes the engine for concerted analysis, planning, and
action (out of that much heightened, broader, and evolved state of social and
functional awareness enabled by KINS and similar group structures). The output
of these CCA (Collective Corrective Action) Synergizers would be targeted at
specific issues using massive coordinated action to change the carefully
evaluated dysfunctional dynamic to a healthy state.
It is this kind of “pure” democratic process, supported
and enhanced with technology, that points the way to a new non-governmental,
non-minority controlled process of getting things done in a timely and
effective fashion for the best benefit of all – it brings into reach truly
“outcome based” processes that MUST take into account all the constituents of a
given issue. The incentives for outcome based business, outcome based
education, outcome based social policy, outcome based everything are massive
when the measure of success and forward progress measure the well being of all
things, the reality check is NOT a bank check, and the ultimate measure of
success is the comprehensive outcomes. I see this as the NEXT level of
evolutionary opportunity beyond the relatively crude and uncoordinated
functions of ad-hoc networks put together on the spur of the moment to achieve
these ends today, using whatever is functionally available and socially
engaged, ranging from Facebook, and twitter to email and ripple relay
announcements (#occupy :-).
What I’m talking about is promoting and facilitating the
emergence of a new social structure focused on, and emphasizing, our ability to
function collectively (a key function of our viability in the “new viable” of
the breakpoint evolutionary change we are facing on the planet) that enables
and empowers all citizens through heart centered, high values, energized, local
networks where people come together to evaluate issues, make decisions, and
take action collectively. The small group process provides the steady feed of
information, awareness, and connectedness that overcomes the basic inadequacies
of the rest of the current social process (failures of public education, divide
& conquer process of social structure, Madison Avenue marketing, and
resulting fractured democracy, etc.) where no matter what the situation is and
no matter how well informed the people are (which is frequently horribly
inadequate) they find themselves scrambling to acquire and meld the right
information to make coherent well informed decisions, if they even get THAT
far. As a matter of point they rarely get that far. THIS is where I see the
direct capacity of our species to immediately take action that reflects a
profoundly changed, aka “evolved”, state of living - with ourselves, each other,
and the planet. At some point out in the
future humanity may move beyond the need for the enabling technology but it’s a
structure that can work on many levels with or without enabling
technology.
If we can accomplish what I’m talking about in the next
two years we can DEFINITIVELY say that we have set humanity on a new course
that WILL result in a world that is socially just, environmentally sustainable,
and spiritually fulfilling – rather quickly. We don’t need to get our current
manifestation of governance on board. This IS simply taking back the ground that
was allotted to us by our founding fathers from the special interests and
corporations that have lied, cheated, and stolen their way to prominence in the
control structure today. We return to a state where the people coordinate and
TELL their elected representatives what needs to be done and hold them
accountable for doing it. It presents what I consider the opening
opportunity to profoundly restructure society to BE functional and effective in
a truly democratic way. If there is a
basis for conscious evolution in our lifetime I believe this is it. Succeeding
generations may move well beyond this but THIS, this is achievable in a big way
RIGHT NOW. We’ve wasted enough time talking. If not us WHO? If not now, WHEN?
