Dear Petio,

Many thanks for your kind comment. Yes, that's right , every new emergent level of being creates new forms, new quality, new eidoses. You asked a great question: «iwhat are the principles?»

The basis of my conception of a reliable steering Future of Humanity principles that tells us the Nature, the Cosmos, the whole history of the formation of Mankind, and give answers to the famous question of Kant:

What can I know?

What ought I to do?

What may I hope?

1. At the base of knowledge of the principles and Super Axiom . Super Principle - the principle of triunity, the principle of symmetry, the principle of hierarchy, the principle of harmony. Super axiom: "In the Beginning was the Logos ... ", which sets the ontological limit , "frame" and " frame" knowledge - Absolute generating structure ("Gnerall framework structure"). Ontological (structural, cosmic) memory is the core, semantic attractor of the new conceptual structure of the Universe.

2 . "... «Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law without contradiction». «Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in that of another, always at the same time as an end and never merely as a means.» (I.Kant). Human being is the highest value.

3 . Hope - "my compass earth": the preservation of humanity taking into account all existential risks, sustainable development for the benefit of future generations on the basis of "maxims" of Kant, based on Freedom, Compassion, Faith, Hope, Love, Justice. New Generation sings with the hope a new world of the Information Age. Education of new Generations of Earthlings - one of the main great deals for the future of the Humanity. Need to educate the younger Generation so that every graduate school wanted to sing such a song to his teacher.(Song from music and poetry evenings "Do not you dare forget the teachers," dedicated to the Day of the Teacher and the movie "We'll Live Till Monday")

Hi Petio,

Thank you very much for your comment and the invitation to the group of associates. I am pleased to inform you my address on your forum.

Dear Vladimir,

one thing that came into my mind by reading your essay and especially by reading the comments above is the following.

Most people today are not interested in philosophy, based on my experience at least in the european countries. What is taught in schools is primarily oriented to give practial benefits for the later working life of a teenager. In a certain sense they are drilled to be productive in their future. An exception from the rule is surely the school subject "religion". But this subject is usually overloaded with connotations like sin, guilt, eternal decisions and the theodicy problem.

The theodicy problem is surely also a philosophical problem, but beaten down in the framework of the school subject "religion", it gets too abstract to be really evaluated by teenagers.

So my thought is that people schould be trained already in school to also think in philosophical terms, because many questions and problems of humanity are of philosophical/ethical nature. There are way to less considerations to make people not only fit for producing profits in their later working life, but also to give them the mental ability to reflect their thoughts and actions by a wider scale of outlooks than they do today. As Sabine Hossenfelder emphasizes, most people make their decisions on grounds of locally and self-centered reasons. I think therefore education - what is demanded by many essay authors - should necessarily imply the disciple of philosophy.

I like your essay and the impetus that generated it. You are in search for a better and more fair world and you contribute with your essay for this goal. I am not sure if your proposals to conform the various institutions to organize themselves into more global risk evaluation/prevention can be successfull in the next decades, because all that must be achieved in the first place via money - and the change of thoughts. Noboday wants to spend his/her time for free and there would be needed thousands of highly educated stuff to bring those institutions in line with what would be necessary. This would also be a political issue as well...

The first step would be (IMHO) to adress the most urgent issues that endanger humanity to the science community and the network of their most prominent representatives. As long as the public isn't informed as well as we are here at fqxi, there will be no mentionable changes. Second, the science community has to act as the bad conscience for the politicians - worldwide. So the politics would be more driven to act in the direction to serve humanity as a whole and not only national interests. Why are most politicians NOT trained in philosophy - because no real philosopher would decide for him/herself to take part in some dirty work. Philosophs do what they are convinced to do, must do, namely serving humanity (is this "must" a lack of freedom...? - i wouldn't say so). If we had more people of this species, a lot (but surely not all) would have been achieved!

Good, deep and serious essay, Vladimir! And i liked much the mentioning of your daughter Victoria and am convinced that you like children in general because they do still know what's good and bad and are honest. Its only the systemic circumstances that can change a human's heart to a dark realm. We should learn again to forgive each other and to discover the own child within us. Then we would be able to see behind another one's curtain and treat him/her more emphatically and truly.

Best wishes,

Stefan

    Dear Stefan,

    Many thanks for your kind, deep and very important comment for me. Many people more and more realize need of a unity for the solution of all problems which rose before Humanity in the XXI century, first of all understanding of all existential risks. Now in the world more and more people who realize all existential risks of Humanity and unite for joint action. Especially pleases that than such deeply conceiving people becomes more increasing among businessmen. Today the global coordinating center for existential risks which will coordinate all public organizations is already necessary. I am very glad that you support idea of introduction of Philosophy and Ethics in school education.

    Yes, Stefan, you are absolutely right: "We should learn again to forgive each other and to discover the own child within us. Then we would be able to see behind another one's curtain and treat him/her more emphatically and truly. "

    Magnificent words!

    I wish you good luck!

    All the Best,

    Vladimir

    Dear Vladimir

    I had missed your essay while reading most others, but thank you for bringing it to my attention. The philosophical long term overview of how humanity emerged into today is quite interesting, and is an important introduction to final recommendations of a science-based governance model, which is quite similar to my proposal in Our Journey to the next Paradigm. Perhaps our common engineering background leads to this sort of recommendation.

    Best wishes for your success in this contest.

    Don Chisholm

      Dear Don,

      Many thanks for your kind comment and appreciation of my ideas! Yes, indeed, we are close in spirit to our researches. I hope engineers can help physicists and lyricists in a safe steering the future.

      Best wishes for your success in this contest!

      Sincerely,

      Vladimir

      Dear Vladimir,

      Delightful harmonious notes prelude of a new state of matter: self-consciousness of Noosfera. The vector of untangible world of consciousness is restructuring the current reality into designed reality. Fascinating and elegant path of words to explain the inevitable Noosfera's inmanent nature: innovation, evolution and self-transformation. Unveiling the field of information and time that has been the path of the biophoton. Listening the silent field of awareness that like a wave remains its energy in the atoms of your brain. The architecture of your thinking follows the light of possibility and transcendence mixed with the eternal human search for a meaning of existence.

      Inspired by the most powerful promise of transcendence, your daughter, you grasp the field of reality to find real answer, the most noble reason to create.

      Totally agree with your fundaments of "LifeWorld" ("LebensWelt"), in fact the blind trust of human kind in science is a pitiful symptom of the lackness of wisdom and the not extended understanding that science is the human capability to comprehend the nature of cosmos. Science is a continuous exercise that has entertained human kind in its path in universe. The only way to increase knowledge is by expanding consciousness of the field. Systematization is a tool for complexity. As you state: Humanity yet didn´t realize all depth of global existential risks. Science is a tool for Humanity and not a ruler. The comprehension of the nature of humanity needs to be expanded, it is at this point of non-return to comprehend the power of human kind to understand its responsabilities and create flexible-adaptable-intelligent new systems of interaction with cosmos.

      As Protogeometry clearly develops the cybernetics of passing from exsitencial point "Alpha" to "point of Omega" to create the possible field of Absolute spirit: waves of rises and fallings of the genus Homo. This part of your work reminds me the book: "La vida, el tiempo y la muerte" of Fanny Blanck-Cerejido and Marcelino Cerejido where they explain the nature of cosmos and in which I based Black Sky Thinking:

      "Cada nivel jerárquico fue Nuevo alguna vez y surgió como el producto de la interacción entre los niveles que ya estaban y el medio ambiente, que incluye también a otros individuos y a otras especies. Los nuevos niveles tienen menor grado de restricción que los inferiores y tienen por lo tanto mayor ámbito para el error y la creatividad. En la etapa actual, el superior y más reciente parece ser el mental. El pensamiento está enhebrado por la noción del tiempo; por ello deberemos incluir una descripción de los modelos más en boga, aquellos con los que el psicoanálisis trata de entender la estructura y el modo de operar del aparato psíquico."

      The Cerejido couple are describing neuroendocrine processes but at the same time they are describing the operating systems of universe. It would be interesting to provide exactitude to this systems by measuring in terms of time (our Brain is hardwired to time concepts) the mathematical period of duration of each system. This could lead to accuracy into the use of fields of interaction in cosmos and the duration of innovative and creative processes and the duration of structuralizing fields. There might be flexible and self-adaptative systems of interaction between Human Kind and the environment.

      Protogeometer and Black Sky Thinking propose of leading the bio-architecture to follow the "Omega Point".

      Respectfully I may differ that the first tool and the first weapon were the manual cut or so-called chopping -tools, the first tool and weapon was a bio-tool and bioweapon: the thumb. It seems the Noosfera field is "floating" in the universe like a dimension of possibility, biology slowly connects with this fields and creates architecture to follow its complicated rules, meanwhile bio-architecture follows mathematics, physics, chemistry, geometry, etc... the Noosfera field is encrypted in higher language that biology deals with its complexity. I agree with Protogeometer that the eidos of the thumb was the initial constituting act, the first sign and the first knowledge. From Black Sky Thinking view the first "mathematical act" and it continuous to be: the family. When we need to think in another human being, in its well-being there is transcendence. Wherever the human consciousness is focused in transcendence the tools to make it real will come to them. We are a group of atoms interacting under the rule of different systems, this systems grow in complexity when they may become adaptive to other group of systems (another human being).

      I would love to continue this dialogue with your fabulous dialogue with the fields of existence and the philosophy of geometry but I can not abuse of the gentilesse of your attention and the virtual space of FxQi. It is fascinating to grasp into your mind architecture and your consciousness structure. Wish you good luck but most of all wish you to materialize this wonderful work in the well-being of Human Kind.

      Kindly,

      Orenda Urbano Hernández

        Dear Orenda,

        Thank you very much for your insightful comment very important to me, for your appreciation of my ideas. Many thanks for a very important and interesting link from the book "La vida, el tiempo y la muerte" of Fanny Blanck-Cerejido and Marcelino Cerejido. I completely agree with authors of the book.

        I agree with deep idea in these words: «From Black Sky Thinking view the first "mathematical act" and it continuous to be: the family. When we need to think in another human being, in its well-being there is transcendence. Wherever the human consciousness is focused in transcendence the tools to make it real will come to them. We are a group of atoms interacting under the rule of different systems, this systems grow in complexity when they may become adaptive to other group of systems (another human being).»

        Therefore, I believe, broader introduction in fundamental science of idea of N. Bourbaki about "structure mère" ("generating") and as development of this idea on all reality - "absolute generating structure" ("general framework structure") is extremely important. Creation of unique model of the Universum filled with limit meanings of the "LifeWorld" is a problem of the open fundamental science for more reliable steering the Future.

        I also hope for continuation of very interesting dialogue after the contest FQXi.

        I and my daughter Victoria we thank you for deep and encouraging words!

        Best Regards,

        Vladimir

        Dear Vladimir,

        Great essay! I especially like the section "Existential risks of Humanity and the Open Science"; I totally agree with you about the risks of modern humanity, and I find your ideas for Open Science applicable very important and applicable.

        Best regards,

        Mohammed

        Dear Mohammed,

        Many thanks for your kind comment and appreciation of my ideas. A very important subject of the Contest provides an opportunity to bring together people and ideas concerned about the current state of Humanity and its future. At this Contest a lot of great ideas, including your ideas, which will help to choose a safer course of the movement of Humanity in the future.

        I wish you good luck!

        All the Best,

        Vladimir

        Vladimir - Thanks for the reply and for the comment on my essay! I do not follow all of your comments and references - probably because my exposure to the literature you are referring to is so limited. I do think that pre-geometric concepts will continue to offer fruitful pathways through some of the puzzles in current cosmology and physics. Keep up the good work!

        Cheers - George

        Thank you. George, for your kind comments, important questions and your profound essay, which is very close to me on spirit and direction of research. Yes, I hope that "the language of geometrical representations" lead physicists to model "Self-Aware Universe" (V.Nalimov), the same for physicists and lyricists. Then steer the future will be much easier. Physicists in the world is much smaller than lyricists and need mutual understanding and a deep understanding of the Logos (The Law, The Principle) and the Eidos of the Universe-Cosmos.

        I wish you good luck!

        All the Best,

        Vladimir

        Dear Vladimir,

        It is a nice pleasure to re-meet you her in FQXi. I have just read your interesting and peculiar Essay. Here are my comments/questions:

        1) It is quite interesting that you started your quest of answers to the questions about Humanity past and future by incidentally reading an American magazine. This looks a sort of destiny.

        2) The book by Ilya Prigozhin that you cite is fantastic. It shows how two great themes of classic science like order and chaos, which look to do not be conciliated, can be instead reconciled through a new intriguing synthesis.

        3) Einstein finalized E. Husserl's idea of the nature as a mathematical Universe. From "The Arithmetization of Geometry" to "The Geometrization of Physics".

        4) I like your idea of a "thermodynamics of mind" when you deals with a wave process of "mental temperature increase".

        5) The statement that "The new integrative paradigm of knowledge will generate new Universe eidos-Eidos of the Self-Aware Universe" is consistent with anthropic principle.

        6) You correctly emphasize nuclear weapon among technological risks. Is there any room for nuclear energy (within a pacific framework) in the New Renaissance-Enlightenment Global Era?

        7) I strongly endorse the promotion of idea of Open Science.

        You wrote an intriguing Essay. I will give you an high score accordingly.

        I wish you best luck in the Contest.

        Cheers,

        Ch.

          Dear Christian,

          Thank you for your deep and kind comment. With regard to nuclear power, as an energy engineer and economist, I believe that we need to develop competition in research («Open Science») to overcome the faster all the dangers of nuclear energy. We must move to widely distributed power generation. It is possible that with the development of information technology and a small power engineering "small village" wins "big city". But the main thing - is to overcome all the factors that divide Humanity. Therefore, Science should go ahead and always be open to Humanity. This Contest - a good step.

          I also wish you success in the Contest and research!

          High regard,

          Vladimir

          Dear Vladimir,

          The words that encrypted contain your energy to create a spin to transform human kind to a brighter future that here we call essay it became a must of continuous reading for me. You share many interesting ideas, authors and concepts that are important to continue creating clear, concise and evolutionary innovative way of thinking and acting. Beyond that, your essay generates many thoughts, questions and new dimensions on my thinking, definitely I will continue reading it. I am glad to accept your kind invitation to continue our dialogue after the contest of FqXi, do you have an account in LinkedIn? (www.linkedin.com ).

          It is inspirational to read that you enjoyed the work of Cerejido's work too. Now I have more sources to expand my questioning in the authors you share.

          I will keep in mind this powerful thinking that you shared:

          ". Wherever the human consciousness is focused in transcendence the tools to make it real will come to them. We are a group of atoms interacting under the rule of different systems, this systems grow in complexity when they may become adaptive to other group of systems (another human being)".

          I am glad to read that you and Victoria welcome my words with enthusiasm and that you realize that your eagerness of making a responsible, intelligent and humanistic cybernetics of cosmos is welcome.

          I think you will also enjoy the work of Mr. Andres Agostini http://lifeboat.com/blog/2014/04/white-swan it is also a great source of mind architecture innovation and inspiration.

          Wish to continue learning from your thinking.

          Best regards,

          Orenda Urbano Hernández

          Dear Orenda,

          Many thanks for your kind comment. My Account to Linkedin. Many thanks for the link. I look forward to our future cooperation and interesting conversations. We need a new "Great Common Cause" to save Peace, Nature and Humanity. Great Dream always go alond with Freedom without fear, Hope, Love, Justice.

          It's time. We start the path. The New Era and a New Generation demanded action.

          I wish you good luck!

          All the Best,

          Vladimir

          Dear Vladimir,

          I think you are so right that we lost our sense of the reality behind our arithmetic representations of nature: ""The Arithmetization of Geometry" led to destruction of its sense", and this "sense foundations crisis" has strengthened the "opposition of Homo sapiens sapiens and Nature" and has also led to the "deep essential crisis of fundamental science bases". As you know, the reality behind our representations of nature is also a concern of my essay.

          As you say, modern humanity faces existential risks which we must work to overcome. But you look forward to a better future, an Omega Point - a maximum level of complexity and consciousness towards which the universe is evolving. To do this we have to "stop and hear the voice of Earth" (and I love the idea of an "International Mother Earth Day").

          Also, the youtube references were inspiring, and I believe we all need inspiration!

          Best wishes,

          Lorraine

            Dear Lorraine,

            Many thanks for your kind comment and appreciation of my essay! I think that overcoming the "crisis of interpretation and representation"(T.Romanovskaya«Modern physics and contemporary art-parallels of style») in basic science, the "crisis of understanding" of the Nature, its basic structure and its language is only possible by filling the physical picture of the world of the ultimate meanings of the "LifeWorld". Unified picture of the world, the new Eidos Universe for physicists and poets give Humanity a chance to steer the future more confidently. As people of the Earth to find mutual understanding? Problems grow continuously. There is hope for a new "Generation Skype», new ideas, new public structures. It's great that there are more people in the world who do not live only for today, but think in the decades ahead, think about the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It is very important that such deeply thoughtful people becoming more and more among businessmen. We need a Great Common Dream and Great Common Cause to save Peace, Nature and Humanity. The New Era and a New Generation demanded action.

            Best wishes,

            Vladimir

            Dear Vladimir,

            It's a vast range of ideas towards an Open society peopled by free-thinking mankind. You quote Kofi Annan:"... we do not have such organizations which are necessary to us to give the answer to global challenges of this century. It is vital that we got out of this deadlock."

            I wonder however that after mankind creates a POWERFUL enough institution then it is faced with the possible abuse of power. In the alternative, mankind finds itself caught in the rut of POWERLESS institutions.

            I agree with you that "The new Era demands creation of the new concept of Open Knowledge."

            Best wishes. By the way, I share your enchantment with Iceland!

            Chidi

              Vladimir,

              Your essay is certainly an original take on the future of humanity! I especially liked your idea of "modern information technologies [giving] the chance of active creation of open society of free citizens". In order to reach this goal, I agree that we should strive for "deep radical reforms of education systems directed on education of the creative, responsible and ethical human." This is certainly one of the goals of the Futurocentric Education Initiative that I proposed in my essay.

              Good luck in the contest!

              Marc

              P.S. I love your idea of re-localizing he UN headquarters in Iceland, so that the delegates are continuously reminded of the grandeur of Nature and of the importance of its preservation.
