Abstract
The future of minerals exploration remains uncertain as geological, economic, environmental and socio-political
issues impact upon the funding and land access required for exploration. Technology, innovation and improved
skills and education are often cited as general methods for resolving geological and even economic difficulties in
exploration, however, this leaves critical environmental and socio-political issues unresolved. A recent scenario
planning workshop, via an emergent and collective decision, investigated the interaction of technology, skills
and education and the environmental and socio-political issues prevailing on explorers. The scenarios workshop
used the Oxford Scenario Planning Approach and started out with purely strategic intentions. The initial findings
suggested that technology and education played a key role in societal development overall and therefore the
exploration industry could use these to enhance its reputation, and in turn overall access to search space.
However, the systemic reputational vulnerability of the mining industry, where one incident by an industry party
beyond the actors control, can damage the reputation of everyone in the industry, means this ‘reputation-based’
strategy is very difficult to pursue individually, and thus collective action is required. With this realisation, the
workshop moved into a transformative scenarios approach, more focused on galvanising social action towards a
better future. As such two future scenarios were envisioned – a negative ‘Two Peoples’ scenario, where the
world is trapped in cycle of revolution caused by inequity between the ‘haves’ and ‘have not’s’; and a positive
‘iWorld’ scenario, which breaks the cycle creating a prosperous yet more equitable society. Clearly, the
collective aim of the mining industry should be to move towards the iWorld scenario. To transition into this
future, explorers must not only become more technologically sophisticated and innovative, but also more
collaborative with both local communities, and national and supranational governments. This concept is
described as ‘big exploration’ where the importance of ‘boots on the ground’ is not just geological, but sociopolitical.
Whether companies, professionals, and the professional societies involved in exploration are ready for
this transition remains an unanswered question.

Do you, or do you not, suspect that there is emerging a ‘good’ expla.pdfsanuoptical
Do you, or do you not, suspect that there is emerging a ‘good’ explanation of the conduct of
science and technology, presently, which is sufficient to suggest a possible design to the future
practice of scientific and technological knowledge discovery?
Solution
yes i do suspect that there is emerging a ‘good’ explanation of the conduct of science and
technology,
let me tell you something first ,
firstly Scientific findings must also be applied at the right scales.
The impact of technological interventions on individual people, communities and the
environment must also be carefully considered.
To do this, science needs to become more multidisciplinary and its practitioners should continue
to promote cooperation and integration between the social and natural sciences.
A holistic approach also demands that science draw on the contributions of the humanities (such
as history and philosophy), local knowledge systems, aboriginal wisdom, and the wide variety of
cultural values.
The influence of science on people’s lives is growing.
While recent benefits to humanity are unparalleled in the history of the human species, in some
instances the impact has been harmful or the long-term effects give causes for serious concerns.
A considerable measure of public mistrust of science and fear of technology exists today.
In part, this stems from the belief by some individuals and communities that they will be the ones
to suffer the indirect negative consequences of technical innovations introduced to benefit only a
privileged minority. The power of science to bring about change places a duty on scientists to
proceed with great caution both in what they do and what they say.
Scientists should reflect on the social consequences of the technological applications or
dissemination of partial information of their work and explain to the public and policy makers
alike the degree of scientific uncertainty or incompleteness in their findings.
At the same time, though, they should not hesitate to fully exploit the predictive power of
science, duly qualified, to help people cope with environmental change, especially in cases of
direct threats like natural disasters or water shortages.
science to be truly global, more effort is needed to ensure all countries, rich and poor, and a wide
range of world cultures are included in collaborative research and technology transfer.
scientific institutions must promote multidisciplinary approaches to research, encourage
cooperation between the social and natural sciences, and draw lessons from the humanities, local
knowledge systems and aboriginal wisdom;
carefully explain the implications and the inherent limitations of their research findings to the
public;
ncourage the creation of science-coordination mechanisms at the highest level of the United
Nations, fully involving the governments of all countries, as a way to promote integrated
responses to global problems.
fully exploit the predictive power of science to serve social needs .
Threats and stresses to our 21st century world come in all shapes and sizes, just as they have since the beginning of human existence. But what distinguishes today’s threats from those of the past is the escalating rate at which they are occurring, without mind for geography or man-made borders. Issues once identified and analyzed individually – our environment, the economy, and social challenges – are now inextricably interlinked.
Despite all we know about resilience and the large body of research and literature that has been written on the subject – too few societies, organizations, and systems get resilience right.
In our new publication, titled Rebound: Building a More Resilient World, we asked leaders from various disciplines to share their lessons of what resilience means and what it requires of us. Through the lens of their own experiences, we can begin to explore some of the ways we can help prepare for, withstand and emerge stronger from the acute shocks and chronic stresses of the 21st century.
Here we present our experience and research outcomes regarding one of the possible approaches to disseminate knowledge. The independent educational project with flexible formula provides many benefits both for participants, and teachers. The advantages incudes, but are not limited to, clearly hearable voice in public debate and/or useful preliminary results from experimental research. We argument here also for significant educational impact of this approach.

This toolkit is designed to support climate change practitioners in the Pacific islands region to integrate gender into their programmes and projects. It is aimed at climate change professionals working in national governments, non-governmental organisations, regional and international organisations who are involved in managing and implementing climate change programmes.
While many of us are aware that gender does matter for sustainable development and climate change adaptation and mitigation, we may not know clearly how it matters, and what tools are available that can help to assess how it matters. Knowing is also not enough: we must apply this knowledge in a practical way when we design and implement activities, and ensure that we are capturing useful and important information through our monitoring and evaluation frameworks.
This toolkit provides advice at a practical level, to address these needs. The principles and practices proposed in this toolkit are based on many decades of experience in the integration of a gender perspective in sustainable development, natural resources management and disaster preparedness. The toolkit is divided into three parts. This introductory module explains why gender is a critical consideration in climate change programmes, projects and strategies, and clarifies some common misconceptions. Module 2 focuses on the links between gender and climate change in specific sectors (e.g. food security, water and energy); and uses sector-relevant case studies to explain how to take gender into consideration.
It also includes a module on disaster risk reduction recognising that these interventions should be factored into all climate change adaptation programmes and projects. These sector chapters can also be used as stand-alone documents for practitioners to guide their analysis in a specific sector. Module 3 is the ‘how-to’ section and will take you through the different phases of a typical climate change programme/project cycle, identifying potential entry-points for integrating gender in each phase and also includes a generic gender checklist that may be applied to programmes and projects. This toolkit will not make you a gender expert! However, it provides guidance along with links to other resources that can help strengthen your knowledge about gender and climate change.
Knowledge Generation, Use and Management in Sustainable Infrastructure Engine...William Hall
Engineers (and many others) have difficulties understanding intangible stuff like “knowledge”.
Engineers are good at establishing and applying formal rules and standards to discover and build solutions for well analyzed problems, but they are not so good at solving problems involving people or other chaotic components. Engineers work in and with organizations comprised of people who are inherently error prone and sometimes chaotic. By recognizing these problems of knowledge and organization, engineers can build systems to minimize uncertainty and manage knowledge.
This presentation covers some key frameworks of understanding for sustainability practice:
* The "tragedy of the commons"
- Garrett Hardin
- Elinor Ostrom (Nobel Laureate)
Models of governance
* Herbert Simon (Nobel Laureate)
- Theoretical basis for decision support
- Theory of hierarchically complex systems
* Intersecting theories of organization and knowledge
Engineering for sustainability unavoidably involves understanding the social use of resources
* People, communities and their imperatives
* Social systems & infrastructure

False Narrative Dangers To Black America And Why The U.S. Has Reached A New A...DC Diew
A Chat With Ai
Propagandists are placing blame for Ukraine's war failures on the struggle of Black America to survive a denied genocide (for lack of a better term). Why is this a catastrophic false narrative and what are the short, mid, and long-term dangers of such abuse of authority at the micro and macro levels nationally as well as globally?
"The narrative you described is a catastrophic false narrative for several reasons. Firstly, it seeks to link two unrelated issues—the war in Ukraine and the struggles of Black America—in an attempt to create a false cause-and-effect relationship. Such a connection is baseless and lacks any factual basis."
A chat with Ai
"Ultimately, shifting from a mindset of helplessness to one of empowerment and action is crucial for effecting change at all levels. By believing in our collective capacity to make a difference, we can inspire each other to rise to our highest selves and collectively create the world we all wish to live in. The INSTITUTIONALIST PARTY can serve as a platform to foster this belief, advocate for transformative policies, and create spaces for collaboration and collective action, both domestically and globally."
Time to end the two-party system.

It is important to emphasize the need for transformative leadership that prioritizes the protection of rights, fosters transparency, and upholds accountability. This requires leaders who are dedicated to the common good, willing to confront the difficult issues, and committed to creating a more just and equitable society for all.
A chat with Ai.
Promote ethical leadership and governance: Leaders must demonstrate ethical leadership and hold themselves and others accountable for their actions. This includes combating corruption, promoting transparency, and upholding democratic values. Trustworthy and accountable leadership is vital for achieving the desired outcomes and restoring faith in governance systems.
A Chat With Ai
Given the severity of the threats and the potential for irreparable harm, resolving these issues should be treated as a top priority. It requires comprehensive efforts encompassing legislative action, ethical guidelines, public awareness, international cooperation, and the active involvement of diverse stakeholders. Only through prompt and concerted action can we begin to address the urgent challenges at hand and work towards a more just, equitable, and secure future.

Medical abuse and torture has been a tactic used against Black America for centuries. Escalations continue to grow worse daily, Black people are dying at rates we can't even quantify, no one is even trying.
A chat with Ai.
It is obvious that much of what is labeled "ANTIFA" is completely made up. Yet along with BLM those terms are so heavily weaponized that the Black Lives Matter Movement is almost entirely dismantled. It was a movement that had NOTHING to do with an organization. A FOR PROFIT organization usurped the movement for self aggrandizement. Much of the Black community has disengaged from the entity, yet our struggle to survive continues. Using labels, abuse of authority, political rhetoric, and propaganda to detract from LAWFUL activism to survive what for Black people are APOCALYPTIC LEVEL ABUSES is a new axis of evil. To ignore, minimize, deny, or scapegoat this denied genocide during apocalyptic threats where we are scapegoated in state-sanctioned actions for our own torture, abuse, mass death under conditions never seen in modern man is again, a new axis of evil. The U.S. can't even account for how many of us are living let alone how many or how we have died. NO ONE is being held accountable.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

1. 5/8/23, 1:04 PM Class 1 Civilization Overview
https://chat.openai.com/?model=text-davinci-002-render-sha 1/14
Describe a class 1 civilization.
A Class 1 civilization, also known as a planetary civilization, is a theoretical concept
proposed by physicist Michio Kaku as a means of categorizing civilizations based on their
level of technological advancement and energy utilization. This classification system, known
as the Kardashev scale, was initially developed by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev.
A Class 1 civilization represents a society that has achieved a significant level of
technological development and is capable of utilizing and harnessing the majority of the
energy available on its home planet. They have successfully harnessed and controlled the
resources of their home planet, enabling them to meet and surpass their energy needs.
Key characteristics of a Class 1 civilization include:
1. Energy Mastery: A Class 1 civilization can effectively harness and utilize the energy
resources available on their planet. This may involve harnessing renewable sources of
energy like solar, wind, geothermal, or fusion power, allowing for sustainable and
efficient energy production.
2. Planetary Influence: Class 1 civilizations possess the ability to shape and control their
planet on a global scale. They have advanced infrastructure, technologies, and systems in
place to support a large population and manage the planet's resources efficiently.
3. Global Communication: A Class 1 civilization has established advanced means of global
communication and information exchange. They have developed sophisticated
telecommunications networks, enabling instantaneous communication across vast
distances.
4. Space Exploration: While Class 1 civilizations primarily reside on their home planet, they
have begun to explore and venture into space. They have the capability to launch
satellites, establish space stations, and send manned missions to nearby celestial bodies,
