major challenges to be addressed / fields to work on:

how can technology support civilization design, life design and self-transformation?

  1. coordination systems

distributed/decentralized systems design -> economic systems, governance systems, knowledge systems, information systems

  1. collaboration tools

tech stacks -> personal computing -> permacomputing / distributed systems

  1. self-management tools

tools for extended cognition -> OODA loop augmentation / DIKW management (sensemaking, information management, knowledge development, wisdom development)

life management -> l1f3 management ontology, toolkit, memex, co-pilot & more


key guiding directions/ideas:

  1. how might we design & build new economic systems that address the foundational economic incentives for accumulation, extraction, abstraction that are driving the metacrisis?

web3, refi, financial incentives for open-source software, (...)

  1. how might we adapt existing systems (reducing harm & expanding utility) vs developing post-collapse, regenerative infrastructure?

permacomputing, low-tech approaches, prototypes, etc.

  1. what is the role of computers and computation in a regenerative society?

a humane dynamic medium: one that integrates dynamic visualizations, world models, knowledge representations, spatial computing, extended cognition and more to effectively... (see below)

  1. how might we empower ourselves and our communities to navigate the metacrisis and create omni-win systems?

augmenting our OODA loop: 1) tools for self-transformation -> 2) tools for sensemaking / tools for extended cognition -> 3) tools for self-management -> 4) tools for collaboration -> 5) coordination systems / self-actualization systems.

  1. how might we get started with designing, building and applying these systems/tools, despite the economic and infrastructure challenges today?

extremely intentional personal systems design: developing across 4 dimensions of a wholistic collaborative life management system. leveraging algorithms, trust networks, low-tech and other forms of existing collaborative infrastructure.

relevant existing topics/resources:
