Themes
“Every great architect is -- necessarily -- a great poet. He must be a great
original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.”
“The architect must be a prophet . . . if he can't see at least ten years ahead,
then don’t call him an architect.”
– Frank Lloyd Wright
“The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of
the place...But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflection on
human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary.
– James Madison
“Humanity is a biological species in a biological world...we are exquisitely
well adapted to live on this particular planet. Although exalted in many ways,
we remain an animal species of the global fauna.”
– Edward O. Wilson

“...it appears that much of the preparation nature has
invested in us...is failing us. Our neuroanatomy is tuned
to respond to sudden, dramatic changes in our
environment...We focus on immediate needs and
problems, and are trapped by the illusion that what is
most tangible is most real. We’ve been conditioned for
thousands of years to identify with our family, our tribe,
and our local social structures. A future that asks us to
overcome this conditioning...looks alien indeed."

Biological Programming – Cognitive Biases
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_bias https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases
• A systematic pattern of deviation from the norm or rationality in judgment
• A "by-product" of human processing limitations
• Illogical inferences about other people and situations
• People create their own "subjective social reality" - dictate[s] behavior
• Lead to perceptual distortion, inaccurate judgment and illogical interpretation
However...
• Can lead to more effective actions in a given context
• Enable faster decisions – timeliness vs accuracy

54
Biological Programming – Cognitive Biases
http://www.businessinsider.com/cognitive-biases-that-affect-decisions-2015-8
Anchoring Bias – over-reliance on the first piece of information
Blindspot Bias – failing to recognize your own cognitive biases
Confirmation Bias – information that confirms our preconceptions
Ostrich Effect – ignore dangerous or “negative” information
Pro-Innovation Bias – over-valuing usefulness/under-valuing limitations

55
Biological Programming – Cognitive Biases – Rock, Paper, Scissors
http://mentalfloss.com/us/go/77260
“...most humans have a tendency to make moves that are
irrational, unconscious, and to some degree, predictable.”

56
Biological Programming – Dunbar's Number
Dunbar's number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can
maintain stable social relationships. These are relationships in which an individual knows
who each person is and how each person relates to every other person. Numbers larger
than this generally require more restrictive rules, laws, and enforced norms to maintain a
stable, cohesive group.

Biological Programming – Dunbar's Number – W.L. Gore
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._L._Gore_and_Associates
●
Gore is a team-based, flat lattice organization that fosters personal initiative.
There are no traditional organizational charts, no chains of command, nor
predetermined channels of communication.
●
Gore is one of the 200 largest privately held U.S. companies
●
2014 was the 3rd consecutive year for World’s Best Multinational Workplaces
●
For the 18th consecutive year, Gore earned a position on the FORTUNE 100
Best Companies to Work For® list in 2015. Gore ranked 17th overall.
●
Gore has also been named one of the best workplaces in France, Germany,
Italy, Korea, Sweden, and the UK. And in 2013, for the first time, Gore was
named one of the best workplaces in China.
●
More than 35 million innovative Gore Medical Devices have been implanted,
saving and improving the quality of lives worldwide.
●
Gore has been granted more than 2,000 patents worldwide in a wide range of
fields
●
Virtually all of Gore's products are based on just one material, a versatile
polymer called ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene)
●
$3 billion in annual sales and more than 10,000 associates worldwide, the
company is owned by members of the Gore family and associates. Gore
prefers this private ownership and believes this reinforces a key element of its
culture to “take a long term view” when assessing business situations.
10,000 associates / 50 locations = 200 per location

“...we fail to see the systemic issues because we define urgency by
what is immediate. We are victims of a self-reinforcing crisis of
perception – a crisis of our own making. If it persists, we doom
ourselves to continued passivity.
Only catastrophe will compel action, which, given the growing social
divide that distributes problems like global warming unevenly
between rich and poor, is likely to manifest as social and political
disruption – not unlike what we are already seeing around the
world.
...nothing short of a profound shift in the Western, materialistic
worldview is likely to dislodge this crisis of perception.”
