Xanadu 2012: New Civ Dilema |
Category: Articles 3 comments 28 Oct 2009 @ 22:36 by swanny @70.65.16.119 : HistoryWell not sure it will help but is history a factor, they say to know where youre going you have to know where youve been, This is just a site on the history aspect that I've worked on for the last 20 odd years. I began to see a pattern in the development of what I called estates there thus are 12 basic estates in this site I called the "Green Covenant" It could serve as a foundation for something but it strikes me thus as serving for something that is not radically different from what we know have but more transparent perhaps anyway heres the link [link] it scrolls up and down and left to right and the web cam links are out of date swanny 29 Oct 2009 @ 01:21 by swanny @70.65.16.119 : New Civ Viabilitiy But thus too it is not just a question of "how do we finance a new civ?" and "putting it on a solid historical footing" but how do we make it politically, governmentaly, socially and environmentally viable. I suppose we could ask for assistance and cooperation from the various estates as found in the green covenant but then again what is in it for them? Mere Survival perhaps in the face of total global collapse but we don't know that and to approach from a negative is never good strategy. People tend to respond better to encouragement constructiveness and fun than they do to threats and punishment. 29 Oct 2009 @ 11:09 by swanny @70.65.16.119 : Plan 1850 Hmmm no input well anyway if we have reached a dead end of sorts or a stale mate as it were we thus have to? Backtrack yes and this was the thinking behind Plan 1850 is that we return to an earlier time in civilization and then proceed from there on perhaps a different precept or course perhaps but armed with the current hindsights. It might or might not work but has a greater probability of success then trying to work with a deadend or stale mate so again I present to us PLAN 1850 with minor modifications PLAN 1850 EARTH 2007 MARCH Plan 1850 Synopsis earth Well after some study of the situation, the following plan and stradegy may help in the present Earthen circumstances. Data seems to suggest that the tipping point of the current global dilemna may have occurred in and or around 1850 AD.. It was after this point that the current cycle of events intensified. This suggests that that time period around 1850 may serve as a sustainable "mean" or "norm" for which to aspire to. Therefore data and lifestyle, standards and quaility of that time can or does represent a sustainable condition for humanity, mammality and the planet as a whole. Using that year as a norm and target thus produces these results. TARGETS SUMMARY Target Year: 1850 Target Global Population: 2 - 3 Billion Target Markets: Green, Ethical, and Sustainable Target Econonmy: Some type of Gold Standard based, fair enterprise with profit and credit capping. Target Diet: Low Gulten, Low Salt, Low Fat, trans fat and cholestrol, Low sugar, whole grains, low red meats, Fruits and vegetables and some organic methods and limited genetic modification Target Occupations: Health, Space, Science, Earth Sciences, Arts, Humanities, Environment, Research, Farming, Argosphere, Trades Target Time: Current Standard Time System and calendar with daylight savings for energy savings. Target Exploration: Moon Base Development, New Space Telescope, Mars Robot Missions Target Design Standard: Phi standard and whole systems design Target Communication Network: Point to Point Internet, mail, phone and satellite Target Transportation: Public Transit, Bus, Train, Ship, limited car, air and space travel. Target Authority: Rule of Law, World Court, Democracy, Multi party systems, Reformed UN Proportional Representation Target Enforcement: Green Police and Army, Global Disaster Response Reserves, Nuke Reduction Target Architecture: Organic and Green Architecture and engineering, Target Relations: Dept of Peace/Harmony Establishment Target Cultures: Mulitculturalism and or Multiglobalism Target Green House Gases: 1850 Levels CO2 = 290 ppm ? Target Energy Production: Hydro, Solar, Wind, Ocean, Bio fuels, Methane digesters, limited and emergency oil,gas and nuke standby units. Target Methods: Reduce, Recycle, Reuse Target Religions: Multi-Faith Target Media: Responsible and Grassroots Media Prognosis These targets if adopted with reference to world state in and around 1850 should be able to produce a sustainable new civilization for the planet. (working draft 1) Discussion Okay so we have a plan... so? True plans are not enough unless they are turned into actions So we need to convert the blueprint plan into an action plan and the proceed to act on it. Does anyone have any ideas on this.... How to we go from plan to actions and then to results that can be measured and adjusted accordingly. The problem is not living in a greenhouse. The problem is opitimizing and managing the greenhouse to the best comprimise for all. If we have come to live in a global greenhouse then that is our fate but let us make the best of it. So we perhaps need funding and a budget and some time lines and some measuring tools or software program. We can begin to see now that global warming is effecting the crops so we must thus determine the "new" proper places for the best yield and quality of the various crops. Californias crop was wiped out by cold, and the midwest is beset with drought... yet some places may have had bumper yields. As I stated long ago the effects of the tsunami would change the water patterns due to the shift in the tectonic plates. Give this we have to "plot" the new norms which are still in the process of stabilizing. This may take decades folks so rise and shine the new day is upon us. Author A.
