2.3.3 The Global Redesign Initiative

In the context of the current WEF I looked at the Global Redesign Initiative. Global points to the world, now possibly in its final crisis because its underlying paradigm has exhausted its usefulness. Do we need to redesign the world, or those who keep designing it? The former has been tried for centuries and the corresponding knowledge work has not really worked to a desirable end. So since 1979 I have addressed the issue of the mental operating systems of the designers. It is all about the fundamental rethinking of relating to and understanding each other. The thesis I am working with since 1979 is: 

1. The established science of nature#1 (numbers), the humanities#2 (words), and the arts#0 (forms) are necessary, but not sufficient to really understand real human systems in the way required to redesign the presently prevailing organizations towards what is desirable, Life Fulfilling Platforms. For that reason I have founded Applied Personal Science#3 APS® to model real human systems based on open-ended generative principles, OEGP. The actual practical work since 2008 is in German and covers almost any walk of life both individual and collective.

2. It has been demonstrated beyond any doubt that the science#1,2,0, as necessary as they might be, cannot solve the problems of living together in a life-fulfilling way; the alternative being global self-destruction in the thus self-destructive systems man has so far created. The signs are on all walls of almost every organization and in an increasing number of individuals, up to the war for, and against terror.

3. APS® provides the now operational basis for life-fulfilling work fulfillment based on thinking beyond numbers, words and the appearances of forms. It has been proven in many real life situations in many cultures. But it has also revealed that the present social conditioning in terms of the one out of sixteen dimensions of social interactions, e.g. Bm, general boundary conditions (B) evoked by the multiplication (m) of what tends to be mass-attractive at the time, leads to an error rate of 78% [in German] in mutual understanding. That of course cannot provide any desirable future! This claim is manifest for real human beings with eyes to see, and ears to hear; beyond the Bm-monopolitical mania that has been at the centre of our culture since philosophy was invented…

4. In view of the utmost importance of the Global Redesign Initiative I take it, that you thoroughly study the above indications and do your part to open the way to include science#3 in time for a truly timely exchange of project-oriented competence. That is required for a critical number of real humans to overcome the otherwise pre-trans-trapping 78% error rate in the prevailing knowledge work, both on the top with its now global amplification factor, and at the bottom of human activities…

5. The Bm-socially conditioned response to the above is that 22% deal with it [in German]constructively towards t=transcending the problem towards a solution. On the other hand 29% react in a p=primitive way not even consistent with cultivated reason, like the barbarians  preceding culture by side-tracking say to mammon, 30% retreat to their comfort zones, shielding them off so they become their self-destructive T=traps. The remaining 19% are plainly G=against it pretending their existing world is the best possible. Thus 78% of the socially conditioned people drive sufficient considerations with the then possible solutions into pre-trans-traps, just as Jesus Christ (t) after many temptations was crucified by them while a terrorist (p) was pardoned, and the Pharisees remained in the trap (T) of their temple money making cult which was then soon afterwards destroyed forever by the Romans, while the intellectuals still campaign against (G) the loving God, Jesus witnessed for. They do it with the claim to be mass-attractive towards their global Bm-idolatry - some of the most subtle ones use Christian rhetoric...
