Throughout history, humanity has solved problems with the tools fund in its time. It caused delay for hundreds of years. Abandoning ancient intuition has been more important than the original problem
The fact that we live in the events is misleading.
It is not the matrix. This is a bias to have a connection. We believe that what we see is all that exists and the problems we face must be dealt with.
At this stage, I could enter into solving personal, commercial, government and even racism problems. But I will limit ourselves to the problems that humanity is dealt with as a whole. Not only because I prefer not to walk in minefields, but also because I think it is not the same. The first is associated with psychology and self below – for vision and strategy.
Let’s take a look at some examples of history. Humanity, which faces a great challenge, pulls solutions from the current tool fund on time. The relief was only temporarily or by chance. The actual solution came from a complete change in perspective. And when this new perspective and intuition that followed were implemented – more was achieved. Beyond solving the original problem.
Black Death
Black death was the pandemic of the plague that takes place in Europe from 1347 to 1351. up to 50 million people perished, about 50 % of Europe’s population at the time. It caused the social change we experience to this day. At that time-the solution was for each major problem is religion. People in your village die terribly? Prayer should go together in a bad ventilation church. Oh, add self -beatings so that your skin is satisfied with the wonderful sewage.
Who could imagine the presence of creatures, smaller than the eye that you can see, which kills us in millions? To avoid them (hundreds of years later – killing them) would save us. The ability to perceive the range and complexity on different orders in size not only changed how we deal with epidemics – our lives have made great (and longer).
Horse fertilizer crisis
He rapidly advanced to the nineteenth century, where the population of the city and the number of horses created an explosion in horse fertilizer. In the early nineteenth century, the farmers were happy to purchase them (as a fee), but at the end of the century “produced” 100,000 hp in New York 2.5 million pounds per day, creating mountains of things even when paying – enough retirees were not found. Atlantic experts predicted that “within 50 years, every street in London will be buried under nine fertility.” Solutions such as burial reduction, storage, sale, and drainage were, but what saved cities from burial – was cars.
Collective transport without muscles? Science fiction – even everywhere. And transport without animals has changed more than just a sanitation. It is one of the basic building blocks in the modern world.
Inner air pollution
Internal pollution was a major contributor in the short life period of human (similar). To this day it causes 6.7 million early deaths every year. A third of the world still uses ineffective stoves to burn biomass. For centuries, the solution was “a solution inside” – building high ceilings, open windows, cooking them outside – and trying to use different burning materials to reduce smoke.
electricity? This is what Zeus and Thor use to hit trees and pointed buildings. The generation of light and heat from electricity was not only improved health, but also extended (by generating cheap and clean light) that affects free time, education, economy and equality.
But do not let smoke, smell and skeletons break your vision.
We do not discuss technological progress in the sense of gradual improvement. Do not trade ice or water and sewage system. Not even contact or account. These are all the processes that have improved over time. We are discussing solutions emerging from a completely different way to look at reality.
Today: The validity of inequality – the hammer with information
What are we bothered today? Global warming? National competitions? illness? Equality? resources? Yes.
Allow me to venture the thesis that the tools fund that we currently withdraw from information. We act as if the solution is somewhere there and we just need to find, agree, persuade or create more information towards access to it.
So we continue to pass, create, accumulate and rely on information.
In recent centuries and more in recent decades, we invented methods to create and process information. We have sore the built search engines, created translators and invented CGI. Now we are surprised by our last invention – the algorithms that inquire and create information at the human level. We are proud of our creation and refer to it as “smart” because we tend to breathe in life in anything that resembles a person.
But we do not stop studying the cause. Why do we need this information? Did our basic problems solve?
I claim that he did not. Not only, but often exacerbate what we try to solve.
Does social media and the ability to create entertainment content (Instagram, Games, Netflix, Twitter and News) improve our use of time? Is the ability to easily manipulate human biases (advertising, pressure, news) reduces inequality? Does it reduce the ability to distribute messages from national competitions? Have we found “somewhere in the data” an agreed solution on the phenomenon of global warming? Do the research and scientific methodology push us at an acceptable pace?
This does not mean that our general condition has not improved. She has. In the same way that it improves isolation, hygiene, high ceilings, windows, and street cleaning our condition in the past. But I did not revolutionize that. It did not create a platform for progressing for our types in ways that we have not dreamed of before.
So what are the new tool boxes that we can use?
Distance At the time of black death, we needed acceptance that could be a reason that exceeds the dimensions (the scale) that we envision. Today – are we sure about the intuition of dimensions? It is still a discussion and is difficult to accept (even by Einstein who rejected the quantum mechanics that are in essence) – there may be countless universes in parallel with it. How do these universes affect our? How can we harness them? Cooperation with them?
communications We moved from animals that carry and withdraw to non -living creations. But is this the only way to transfer a set of atoms from one point to time to time? We are already (we think we) know that we are in a foldable connected chain. What about his will on the will? What about its hole? Do not bear, I do not mention parallel.
privilege We think about the world in units. People, trees, stones. We are the group (mammals and plants), but we always set the borders. Where one unit ends and another begins. Is this true, or do we have to what is easier to realize and calculate? Alternative show is to look at things as connected systems. Even as the communication. This offer will allow us to interact and manipulate the environment (and our connected files) in imaginative ways. Good luck with complexity though.
cooperation We are surprised by our ability to generate and transfer encrypted information to language and visuals. We know our digital creativity to do the same. But multiple organisms (beehives, forests) solve cooperation in different ways. Their thinking, acting, intelligence and “emerging” are distributed from the unit. They see time, self, motivation and work differently. What can we achieve if we can run more as a unit and less as individuals? What will happen if we expand this cooperation for non -human and creatures?
New brave intuition. New brave world.
Finding a way to expand our intuition will revolutionize our future. It will not only solve the current problems – it will make humanity progress in ways that we cannot imagine yet. If we rule before our past (in the universe we believe that we live in …) these jumps in perception made our lives radically better. It is a good use of resources to seek to open these horizons. Si progressing will be that cannot be achieved on Instagram and keeping pace with the news.
