The solution to the ills of #Capitalism is not Socialism The solution to the ills of #Socialism is not Capitalism The solution is the application of #WellbeingPolitics & #WellbeingEconomics without ideological prejudice to build #sustainable #diversityrich #qualityoflifeforall

Today I touched back to the child within me who just wanted and wants to love everyone and be loved by everyone. I know it is unrealistic but I also know it's the one thing I really ache for. I think many others want that too. How might we step closer to it? #GoldenRule

Can it ever be ethical to form an 'ethical opinion' unless it is based on open knowledge? Can it ever be ethical to retain an ethical opinion that doesn't stand up to open knowledge scrutiny? #openknowledge #ethics linkedin.com/pulse/supportin…

If, for AI to function well in open system environments - including politics, economics, societal services, ecology & education - it needs a sufficiency of relevant and up to data, how do we ensure it has those data streams? #AI #AI4Good #openknowledge ibm.com/think/topics/ai-data…

Shouldn't a conclusion always be provisional? "Sense-making is important, but perhaps even more important is the realization that it is an ongoing process. Our current conclusions are always the best we can do in the present moment." #openKnowledge read.fluxcollective.org/p/25…

In an open system (including politics, economics & environment) the science is never settled about what will happen in the future. That's not an excuse for ignoring studies of those open systems but we need to be mindful that it could change, for better or worse. #OpenKnowledge

If Jesus Christ were alive today, would @BBCNews and other #Press report his messages of universal #mutualwellbeing? Or would they just report his "driving out the money changers" and his crucifixion? #DeepQuestioning

Science is an ongoing process of testing, measuring, checking, comparing & challenging (TMC3). So it is important to recognise when dealing with open systems - such as climate - that the system & scientific knowledge about it can change, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.

The artist who had the most effect on me was Picasso, not because of his art but because he provided a socially accepted platform from which to look at life differently #DeepQuestioning

It's time to rethink History The way we study history - for example through a focus on authoritarian figures - significantly influences our expectations about human society and our role within it, our relationship with social institutions and our cultural norms. #education

I have been in enough Boardrooms to see how obsessions with being seen to be regularly making more money and raising & keeping one's status amongst peers, can cause the most intelligent of men & women (whose brains have been pulverised my macho culture) to make stupid decisions.

Why are the #press so committed to presenting human beings as only living & loving in groups, cliques & tribes (family, ethnographic, social or national)? Where is the #press reporting of people who seek to live by the principles of meaningful mutual wellbeing & universal love?

“I wish — I wish upon this turning planet for a child to grow within a culture rooted in mutual wellbeing. Where open minded curiosity is actively encouraged, enabling continual growth of understanding.” #QualityofLifeforAll linkedin.com/pulse/love-huma… via @LinkedIn

If 'All knowledge comprises models or descriptions of actions within a model' and 'The map [model] is not the terrain' Should one accept that 'beliefs' we were taught would be better considered more lightly, as a current set of understandings open to thoughtful questioning?

A question to reflect on upon when considering  how best to pursue  happiness...  Can a well informed person (in a state of mind that is not influenced by psychopathic reasoning) be happy if they know that their happiness is built on the abuse and taking advantage of others?

The word 'Research' is used in different ways and important to keep aware of the differences, for example, between #Research 1) To Extend human knowledge 2) To Test human knowledge 3) To Search for existing human knowledge for local use #OpenKnowledge

Human thought is an emergent frontier of existence, one which we can all explore, but are rarely encouraged to do so in any depth or breadth... One launch pad I use for such exploration is #DeepQuestioning linkedin.com/pulse/deep-ques…
