" Recurrent Networks " and it also looks like a interesting path of research / , knowledge managment http://www.brint.com/ , etc ) , Lifelong Learning , " Alternative Living " , " Activism " , ( Social ) Entrepreneurship , Paradigm Shift , network society , the use of new information technologies , and some more links on http://del.icio.us/deliciousdante

future perspectives in relation to the development of tools easing alternative nomadic learning ,

for example, the development of (a) " Reference(s) System " - we can discuss this further later on - http://oikoumene.coforum.net/ReferenceMaps

and can also include

Cooperative Individualism -

Philosophy - Nomadism , .. / Individualism - but also Tribal Culture , Various Subcultures , Ancient Cultures and Values

but also certain forms of Anarchist Cooperation and Self organization , and hacker culture , ethics, values, organisational ideals ( for example, Hacker Manifesto ( thanks to Joerg and Shailoh for reference ): http://subsol.c3.hu/subsol_2/contributors0/warktext.html

Dante believes we are on the way of opening up new opportunities, trough a open mouvement of learning nomads using information technologies ( and trough questionning , learning, and getting in touch with different issues, eventually of nomadic activists - project builders , ... opening up what I like to call " The Power of Inspiration " )

+ developping new solutions and tools, facilitating the connection and cooperation of nomadic learners and activists,

+ facilitating the development of tools that can connect available ressources with potential opportunities, opening up alternatives to "profit making" systems - developping a new economics of "Opportunity Making" , wich can connect and eventually cooperate with the existing available ressources //

and to aspects of learning, knowledge, education,...

extract from "educate" link ( ? ) To start to analyse the relationship between such aspects of our character and knowledge, we can, somewhat arbitrarily, divide up humans into several layers, of increasing ability and value, for example:

Robots - ability to respond only, causal determinists Choosers - able to make simple decisions, prioritizers Instigators - able to initiate an action spontaneously, teleological agents Planners - able to formulate a series of actions, methodologists Understanders - able to analyse and conclude, reasoners Innovators - able to be creative, novelty generators Maximisers - able to generate the best alternative, evaluators Globalizers - able to take everything into account in choosing Identifiers - able to dissolve all abstract boundaries at will

Dynamic Intrinsic Optimization "Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world." Arthur Schopenhauer, Studies in Pessimism, 1851 "All things are to be examined and called into question. There are no limits set to thought." Edith Hamilton, The Greek Way, 1930, ch. 1 Understanding the dynamics of multi-level, multi-value, multi-organizational interactions is by no means a simple process. Given that any dynamical system changes before we can fully analyse it, this suggests that attempts to obtain any optimum, even theoretically, are fraught with difficulty. Nethertheless, if we can only obtain a better result than we have at present then our efforts will have proved worthwhile. So what stops our current, non-systemic, improvement endeavours succeeding ? We have seen earlier some of the problems in not using systems thinking in our actions. Let us summarise in social terms the main factors causing today's ' Limits to Human Potential':

We simplify issues because we can't understand highly complex systems We are concerned with our own needs not our coevolution with others We specialise and don't understand other technicalities or the wider picture Our beliefs prevent us from compromising with those with different ideas Our technical systems cannot interface and share information effectively Our categories are often incompatible and cannot compare relevant data Our procedure constrained action programmes compete for the same resources Our administration facilities prevent effective multi-group resource sharing We divorce modes of action, e.g. research, education, business, public policy We have separate preferred perceptual modes, e.g. written, visual, aural We get locked into social roles and are dissuaded from wider viewpoints Our unequally distributed skills marginalise non-'expert' inputs We remain ignorant of the needs of all the other species on the planet Our languages create communication barriers and jargon based cliques Our territorial secrecy prevents free flow of information and resources Interactions between problems and values are poorly understood, if at all Personality clashes result from psychological temperament biases Social isolation erodes the inter-personal trust needed to cooperate Absence of globally agreed standards or coordinating structures Use of hierarchical approaches that inhibit horizontal relationships Competitive territoriality that establish rather than dissolve barriers Constraints on peoples use of space and time, information overload Social organizations that are beyond the control of the individual Words meanings that are increasingly confused and distorted We assume static environments and ignore adult mental development Little guidance to facilitate the process of choice amidst diversity Difficulties in recognising true causes from symptomatic effects Erosion of participatory democracy by the citizens at large Fear of the unknown and of negative feedback learning experiences Ignorance of emotional biases and their effect on 'rational' justification Failure to encapsulate past wisdom and to avoid 'reinventing the wheel' Limited willingness to develop and justify meaningful meta-viewpoints
