Billion Dollar Proposal for Applied Cultural EvolutionJoe Brewer
Let me begin by acknowledging those who came before me. The runner-up for a 1 billion euro grant from the European Union nearly a decade ago was FuturICT with their vision for modeling complex social systems to avoid (or manage) future economic collapses. So I am not the first person to propose that a massive effort is needed to (a) integrate the social sciences; and (b) do so with motivation to apply what is learned to address extremely difficult problems in the world. With that said, let me now offer my billion dollar proposal that follows in FuturICT’s footsteps. At the time they were competing for substantial funding, I was working with the International Centre for Earth Simulation to build its billion dollar (over a decade) vision for a high-performance computing facility that models the entire Earth in its full complexity. It is from these projects that I draw inspiration for this essay.
Also, a fact that should cause you to sit up straight. The annual budget for CERN (the high-energy particle accelerator in Geneva, Switzerland) was roughly 1.2 billion dollars in 2017. So what I am calling for here is what the European Union spends every single year on the search for fundamental particles for all of humanity to instead address the global ecological crisis and safeguard the future of our species.
Think about this for a moment before you continue reading this essay. It really should cause you to pause and reflect about our current priorities as human beings.
What I propose now is a framework for guiding humanity through the sustainability bottleneck as we navigate the planetary-scale systemic collapse outlined in the previous two essays in this series. If you want to hear me talk through this proposal in a recorded talk, I invite you to watch the 90 minute video on YouTube for a version that I presented to the cognitive science department at the University of California, Merced earlier this year. This essay will go into more detail about the vision I’ve been cultivating for a global network of culture design labs that—as argued in previous essays—I no longer believe is possible to build in the world.
Technology is the solid basis of a sustainable socioeconomic organization. If it is not there, moral systems are just aspirations. Once it arrives, the changes become unstoppable. Are we in front of a fundamental phase transformation of our globally connected technological society? Yes, a deep and wide wave of technologies is coming together all characterized by the decentralization of the fundamental pillars of our nation states and enterprises. The necessary adaptations to the way we work, vote, learn, live must happen in a manner to maximize our opportunities to thrive, and minimize suffering and social disruption.
Delivered at the Network Society World Congress in Turin, Italy, on October 15, 2015
A set of simultaneous technologies is growing exponentially, with the common feature of being decentralized, and organized in a network. This contrasts with the centralized and hierarchical organization of today’s traditional society and its basic functions. The shift from the old to the new structure will subject the Nation State to an unprecedented pressure. The Network Society project creates a vision and analytical tools to allow individuals, enterprises and the society at large to deal positively with this unstoppable change.

Jon Hugget's slides from our recent Summer School 2012 in Adelaide on the challenges of scaling social innovation and looking ahead to the future of innovation.
When was the last time you did something completely selfless for someone else? Taken any time out of your busy schedule to do something to help another person lately? These days fewer people – and fewer every day – are helping each other. Project Ethic is an integrated media and public experiment series set to bring this troubling fact to bare.
Social Business - The Patchwork Elephant 02 - think forward 40 years - Janet ...David Terrar
Within Social Media Week London 2013 The Patchwork Elephant Team ran an event discussing the future of Social Business (or what some people call Enterprise 2.0) - about using social tools inside as well as outside the organisation, for internal and external teams to collaborate to make business more effective. We ran a similar event within the February 2010 edition of Social Media Week London. We called it "Social Media in Enterprises - The Elephant in the Ecosystem" and we used a patchwork elephant to symbolise the theme - it's a patchwork elephant because it's very large, in the room, but it's hard to see the whole thing!
Business models are changing, and social technologies are ever more important in the way we work, but where are we really? 8 Different speakers asked:
* How has social business evolved?
* What is the current state?
* How does social integrate with our systems and processes today?
* What are the challenges for implementation and achieving success?
* Where are we headed?
Our speakers were:
Alan Patrick - Broadsight (and The Patchwork Elephant Team)
Janet Parkinson - Technotropolis (and The Patchwork Elephant Team)
Will McInnes - NixonMcInnes (author of Culture Shock)
Mat Morrison - Starcom MediaVest Group (World's Oldest Living Social Media Guru™)

Anne-Marie McEwan - The Smart Work Company (author of Smart Working: Creating the Next Wave)
David Terrar - D2C (and The Patchwork Elephant Team)
This session will discuss the tools currently at our disposal to help communicate, market, create community and brand awareness. Whether you come from a company, nonprofit organization or campaign perspective, this talk will be relevant in showing how communication has changed and why, more than ever, it is important to be strategic about getting your voice and ideas heard.
Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries/territories participating. Global landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, CN Tower in Toronto, Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.
In March 2009, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour. Over 4000 cities in 88 countries/territories officially switched off to pledge their support for the planet, making Earth Hour 2009 the world’s largest global climate change initiative.
On Saturday 27 March, Earth Hour 2010 became the biggest Earth Hour ever. A record 128 countries and territories joined the global display of climate action. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Asia Pacific to Europe and Africa to the Americas switched off. People across the world from all walks of life turned off their lights and came together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common – our planet.
Earth Hour 2011 will take place on Saturday 26 March at 8.30PM (local time). This Earth Hour we want you to go beyond the hour, so after the lights go back on think about what else you can do to make a difference. Together our actions add up.

GreenBiz 19 Workshop Slides: The School of Systems ChangeGreenBiz Group
The challenges we face as sustainability professionals are complex and interconnected. They’re global in scale, with many root causes and contributing factors, supported by deep-rooted institutions and structures. It can seem that the more urgency we feel, the more these challenges seem nearly unmovable. How do we know where and when to intervene? What actions and efforts will unlock transformational change, and avoid unintended consequences? How do we work with power, and understand who and how to influence to make change happen? Forum for the Future and their partners in the School of System Change are building the system change capabilities of change leaders around the world, and invite you to join this tutorial for a whirlwind exploration of tools, approaches, and methodologies that can enable you to take a systemic approach to your work. Learn from the do-ers and the makers, take real life lessons back with you, and discover how you can be a system change agent, no matter your context and role.

Vision, Values, and Ideas: The Case of Going After Big ChallengesThe Founder Institute
Alex Lightman tells entrepreneurs to cut the nonsense and go after big challenges. He argues that only the most ambitious, daring, and seemingly mammoth ideas are those who often claim victory at the day's end. He lays out a plan to sift through ideas and find the winners, and to create a vision for those great ideas. This ultimately results in success.
This content was produced for the 2015 Los Angeles semester of the Founder Institute by Founder Institute mentor Alex Lightman, author, entrepreneur, and futurist. Check out Alex's website to learn more:

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.

5. The global rates and volumes of change have been increasing:
• in technology, in economies, and experience
• bringing global challenges rooted in interconnected complexity.
The predictability of our world has decreased:
• causing potential solutions to become complex
• at times yielding further challenges
• and unexpected outcomes (Taleb, 2014).
6. In this complex time, we have the specific opportunity for, and require:
• new models to engage an unprecedented number of people
• to collaboratively act on upcoming global challenges
• in order to iterate on and tackle problems together.
The microwork model:
• Facilitates action
• is comprised of tiny, approachable actions
• that are distributed to, and undertaken by many workers,
• and pieced together to form a potentially impactful aggregate (Janah, 2009).
10. Wangari Maathai:
• born in 1940 in a Kenya village
• land was lush with farms, animals and rivers
• went to complete a Ph.D. abroad
By the time she returned:
• deep environmental challenges resulting in arid desert climate
• arguably a complex problem needing a speedy solution
• ecological changes were triggered by soil erosion > tree cutting
• Disputes over resources due to decrease in usable farmland
12. To reverse soil erosion, decided to:
• plant trees and
• organized a women-led movement to do it
At first, the movement lacked momentum:
• people felt a sense of ‘lack’ in own abilities
• need for ecological change and shortage of outside help
• education drove a gain in the volume of participants
• and increase in number of trees planted.
15. End Results:
• 30,000 women planted
• over 30 Million trees
• changed back the environment to lush and green
Also:
• Women gained social status, abilities, and skills
• Communities organized education and shared resources
• Wangari Maathai entered Parliament
• Won the Nobel prize for this work
18. The Samasource Model
• data-driven projects
• tech clients ex Google, eBay
Microsoft, and others +
• process data to microtasks
• offer to distributed microwork force
19. The Social Impacts
• workers gain training and personal
wealth that can alter their lives
• and the lives of their families
• each person is able to improve their
own situation
20. The Social Impacts
• collectively they affect
their social environment in
a positive way
• by raising skills, knowledge
and standards of living
21. Most microwork platforms:
• focus on simple task execution
• lack elements of fun
• lack mechanisms for gamification
• lack game dynamics
22. We can improve microtask game play by:
• Gaming Mechanics: collecting quantifiable items
like levels, points, or badges.
• Gaming Dynamics: such as reward and feedback
loops, status features, quantified achievements
and awards, can create tasks that engender
‘fun play’activation
• Human Emotion/Needs drivers can create and
incite microworker action, enable task completion,
and mechanize return activity
• These mechanics have the potential to enable
furthered play, and provide additional task
meaning to microworkers and clients
24. FoldIt (beta)
Created by the University of Washington’s Centre for Game Science’s
collaboration with the Department of Biochemistry:
• gamified microwork puzzle game platform
• a salient example of gamified microwork mechanisms
• in real-world, applied aggregate projects
• offers hundreds of protein matching puzzles
• for players to solve on a free, volunteer basis
25. FoldIt (beta) Outcomes:
• successfully engaged thousands of users
• to contribute to solving over 1300 protein puzzles
• and continues to expand its research of available games
• one example features an AIDS-related enzyme research project,
a portion of which was solved via the FoldIt platform
• having previously eluded researchers for over a decade.
