for - paradigm shift - we need a new story quote - a time between stories

quote - a time between stories - Despite this panoply of stories, we are in fact living in a time between stories, because - the dominant narrative remains the same: - progressing within the modern paradigm is the best way to create and maintain a good quality of life, and the only way societies can do this is through - Western-style industrial development, - corporate capitalism, and - representative democracy. - While many people recognise that this narrative needs to be replaced, - we haven’t yet found a new narrative that’s powerful enough to replace it.

adjacency - between - scientific revolution - paradigm shift - critique of gene centricity - ignored by scientific community - adjacency relationship - Ray and Denis Noble's work advocating for an alternative to gene centricity demonstrates scientific revolution in realtime. - They are at the stage of being ignored by the peers for scientifically invalid reasons. That's a good indicator of the early stages of a paradigm shift. - As they point out, this refusal to openly debate has realworld consequences. - The entire medical community is oriented towards the wrong direction, looking for medical interventions in gene therapies which aren't going to happen because the science does not allow it.

adjacency - between - Joseph Campbell - myths - symbolosphere - gestalt switch - paradigm shift - adjacency statement - The grand myths that invisibly guide our collective, - and therefore individual - behavior remains invisible as long as there is no crisis sufficiently powerful to portend a paradigm shift - At that point, the existential crisis forces us to recognize the invisible narratives that have led to our demise - and forces us into take emergency measures to stabilize the situation - This transition period also makes us aware that we spend the majority of our lives inhabiting the space of the symbolosphere

for - outsider advantage - fresh eyes - outsider advantage - autodidactic - Whitehead - philosophy - paradigm shift

• He would teach at harvard from 1924 until 1937
• This is when most of his major philosophical books were written
• He reports in 1924 in the fall when he began teaching his first philosophy course to these students at harvard that
  • it was also his first philosophy course
• Of course he'd been studying philosophy but he'd never had formal education in it
• So as is often the case with major paradigm changes
  • someone from outside the discipline within which they provide some new paradigmatic understanding
  • is looking at the old problems with fresh eyes
  • They don't have the disciplinary training that would tend to leave one stuck in the existing concepts and categories
• Whitehead is coming into philosophy with fresh eyes

  • Galileo, when looking at how the Sun seems to revolve around the Earth, bracketed the common belief that the Earth itself is immovable.
  • Newton, when interpreting gravity as action at a distance, bracketed the belief that any form of action should occur through material contact.
  • Einstein explored the consequences of Maxwell's equations, while bracketing all the presuppositions that had been used to derive those equations in the first place, including the absolute character of space and time. From purely phenomenological thought experiments, he thus derived the relativity of space and time, together with the precise rules according to which they can be transformed into each other.
  • Bohr bracketed the notion that a particle must have a definite state before one makes a measurement, when he developed his Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics.

• for: climate clock
• comment
  • We are already, in fact a highly interdependent species.
  • We are so specialized that if the precarious system were to fail,
    • few have the breadth of knowledge to survive, much less thrive on their own.
  • The key shift that is required is therefore not from a siloed to an interdependent one as it is from
    • an unhealthy and exploitative interdependence to
    • a healthy one based on holistic wellbeing

• for: system change, institutional change, paradigm shift
• quote
  • "Human institutions are purely human creations.
  • Their only legitimate purpose is to serve the people on whom their existence ultimately depends.
  • If institutions fail to serve us, then it is our right to eliminate or transform them."

Cumulative cultural learning seems to be stuck in its own recursive loop- the developers of the old paradigm become the old "guard", resistant to any change that will disrupt their change. Paradigm shifts are resisted tooth and nail.

The Stop Reset Go WEALTH2WELLTH program and sister city programs between wealthier and adjacent poorer communities can be an instantiation of OP NewNet. As the latest IPCC report shows, the wealthy play an outsized role in contributing to the hyperthreat so have a greater burden of responsiblity to reduce their footprint. One way to do this is transferring their excessive wealth to less fortunate so that they can have a viable safety net

Combined with open access Deep Humanity education, worldviews and value systems can shift and financial wealth can be seen as a tool for system change in which their ROI is an even greater satisfaction in playing a critical role in the transition.

An Open Access Deep Humanity education program whose core principles are continuously improved through crowdsourcing, can teach the constructed nature of reality, especially using compelling BEing Journeys. This inner transformation can rapidly create the nonlinear paradigm, worldview and value shifts that Donella Meadows identified as the greatest leverage points in system change.

1. How do you get to the edge quickly?

I think this is where literature mapping tools come in handy. With such a tool, you can see how the literature is connected and which papers are closer to the edge of understanding. Some tools on this point include Connected Papers, Inciteful, Scite, Litmaps, and Open Knowledge Maps.

1. How do you do that across multiple fields?

I think this requires taking an X-disciplinary approach that teeters on multiple disciplines.

1. What do you do if the field seems misdirected, like much of psychology?

Good question. It is hard to re-orient a field unless you can find a good reason (e.g., a crisis) for a paradigm shift. I think Kuhn's writing on [The Structure of Scientific Revolutions(https://www.uky.edu/~eushe2/Pajares/Kuhn.html) may be relevant here.

Deep Humanity, as an open praxis available to any human being to both use and contribute to is a leverage point that, by awakening us to our own sacredness as living and dying human interbeing, can shift our self-perspective from scarcity and poverty mentality, to hsving super powers that emerge from the lived experience of our own sacredness as living and dying human interbeings. The Stop Reset Go linkage between human inner transformation (HIT) and social outer transformation (SOT) are criticsl to recognizing our social transformative potential.
