The abstract follows from Fazey et al. in Energy Research and Social Science Journal (Vol 7, Dec. 2020). I wonder how well the integral community and metamodernists take this statement in light of their typically town-down, insular and elite dominated meta(sta)sizing: "Findings suggest that envisioned future systems will need to be much
more collaborative, open, diverse, egalitarian."
"Formalised knowledge systems, including universities and research
institutes, are important for contemporary societies. They are, however,
also arguably failing humanity when their impact is measured against
the level of progress being made in stimulating the societal changes
needed to address challenges like climate change. In this research we
used a novel futures-oriented and participatory approach that asked what
future envisioned knowledge systems might need to look like and how we
might get there. Findings suggest that envisioned future systems will
need to be much more collaborative, open, diverse, egalitarian, and able
to work with values and systemic issues. They will also need to go
beyond producing knowledge about our world to generating wisdom about
how to act within it. To get to envisioned systems we will need to
rapidly scale methodological innovations, connect innovators, and
creatively accelerate learning about working with intractable
challenges. We will also need to create new funding schemes, a global
knowledge commons, and challenge deeply held assumptions. To genuinely
be a creative force in supporting longevity of human and non-human life
on our planet, the shift in knowledge systems will probably need to be
at the scale of the enlightenment and speed of the scientific and
technological revolution accompanying the second World War. This will
require bold and strategic action from governments, scientists, civic
society and sustained transformational intent."
Aka Propulism. Our house is on fire. Join the resistance: Do no harm/take no shit. My idiosyncratic and confluent bricolage of progressive politics, linguistic framing, the collaborative commons, next generation cognitive neuroscience, American pragmatism, de/reconstruction, dynamic systems, embodied realism, psychodynamics, aesthetics. It ain't much but it's not nothing.
Science Direct: Visions of future systems and how to get there
Aka Edwyrd theurj Burj. Provoking and propagating progressive populism.
