... suddenly strikes me that if Hess and Cohen saw ethics as balance, then that leads straight to Erich Jantsch through C West Churchman...
The UN Emergency Platform isn't causing crises, but it is pre-positioned to capture the authority that crises make available

Soo... when the world becomes a 'human super-organism', where every flow is perfectly efficient... with exactly whom will this 'perfectly efficient' creation rely on to trade, compete, battle?
Will it cannibalise itself?
Or will there not be one, but three competing empires... battling it out in Ukraine?
Or will it be one, using a war to conceal the cannibalism?

their claim is that the world is sick with autonomy. they're the collectivist cure.
if you disagree, you're promptly censored, silenced, and coerced into submission.
that's how legit their argument is.

Black box claims to speak for nature
Black box runs on central bank substrate
Black box outputs always favor central bank solutions
Neither power nor visible opposition examines either the claim or the calibration

The Black Box
In an age where planetary governance is sold as care, where science is framed as religion, and where democracy is quietly ‘strengthened’, one mechanism serves to facilitate this trajectory towards the technocracy beyond all others.

Spaceship earth is interesting - really kicked off in 1966. Kenneth boulding’s paper is the one of importance. Describes the Earth as a closed system (which is an inversion- if you accept this then you’ve accepted the end result). 1968 conference was fundamentally all about systems theory.
