1.2.2.1 Appeal to Scientists for Considering Real Human Systems

A plasma consists of significantly ionized atoms so their inner quality (Schrödinger equation) determines its behavior. The topic of my Ph.D. thesis (1970-73) was the modeling of doubly ionized plasma under re-entry conditions (17 Km/sec, 30'000o). Similarly you cannot appropriately understand human systems (individuals, their relationships, teams and cultures) by treating people as socio-metric units similar to classical aerodynamics treating the atoms of a gas as mechanical particles with the statistics of them bumping into each other. Proper science focuses on entities in order to investigate their innate dynamics; above all on "nature" by identifying the laws of nature. The context ranges from subatomic quantum behavior, via the chemical and mechanical behavior of matter in normal life, and in the humanities, on how people as subjects deal with such entities as objects, up to relativistic phenomena near the speed of light. When it comes to people, sciences deal in collective entities and try to instrumentalize people for their master's made-up objectives; up to engage them in raging wars and worse. In short, organized science has so far not attributed real human systems an entity worthwhile studying! In this manipulative spirit, people have to be open for getting their integrity corrupted by psychopolitics and marketing. Thus the prevailing mental operating system is like a computer without a firewall, open to all sorts of viruses, e.g. opinions! Thus claiming to do research about human systems as meaningful entities in terms of their life- through task fulfillment is treated as a provocation by leading science policy makers. This is the reflection of their underlying thinking catastrophe, which it is in fact, and globally, the "mother" of all human catastrophes! Thus this appeal to overcome this fallacy has become of acute relevance in the financial crisis 2008, a mere projection of the underlying mental crisis! The signs are on all walls; the socio-economic-political system is falling apart, the environment is moving towards a climate catastrophe - faster than anticipated by science. For that reason, "ionized" in my inner ground-state by insights, I have been modeling human systems (HS) since 1980. It took me a few years to 1986 to model HS in terms of the impact in life- through task fulfillment as personally relevant open-ended generative principles (OEGP). It took me another 20 years to figure out how and why people can, each individual within the OEGP that does justice to him or her, produce and participate in the known thinking catastrophe. Just in time before the point of NO return, way out has been made operational for applications in workshops; dealing with each participant's relevant parameters. This is of utmost relevance for a turnaround in dealing with human systems in education, science, economy and politics. The fact is, lacking awareness of these parameters can have the same serious consequences as ignoring the laws of ecology; it evokes a self-destructive dynamic in human systems; now on a globally synchronized level! Most conventional ways to give meaning to human systems have created more problems than solutions! So far the system wardens of all ages have developed almost just in more subtle ways to pre-trans-trapping real human systems attempts to transcending the traps they want people to be in! And they do that as one deals with "barbarians"/criminals, thug states preceding what is politically correct in terms of crimes. In this trap those in power instrumentalize people first of all by the domination of their denotational, e.g. philosophical, rhetoric, mass-attractive thinking in the spirit of the time. The prime example of this curse on mankind (a term introduced by Karl Popper), was the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, now it is embellished raping people and the planet...
