  • Define consilience and explain how it is possible and why it is necessary
  • How do we know?
  1. Explain why science is a singular basis for consilience
  2. Make case for valuescience
  3. Define value. Show prediction is nexus. Value meaningful only to extent resting on successful prediction.
  4. Predicate behavior upon, and explain it with ideas about value
  5. Map different from territory. Humans numerous and powerful. Errors increasingly costly. Must close gap to thrive, survive.
  • What is?
  1. Matterenergy, spacetime, universe, particles, elements, forces, laws
  2. Solar system, Sun, Earth, moon, life, biosphere, matter cycles, energy flows
  3. Humans, mind, society, technology, artifact
  • How did it come to be?
  1. Evolution of universe, Earth, life, human life, society, to c. 200,000 years BCE
  2. Evolution of global ecosystem for most recent 200,000 years
  3. Human hunting/gathering, agriculture, urbanization, centralization of power and rise of social “system,” specialization, technological development
  4. Energy and other resource depletion, proliferation of hazards, disruption of processes, overshoot, complexity
  5. Human physical and psychological characteristics
  • Where are we going?
  1. Mental and physical health: delusion, addiction, anomie, cynicism, infectious disease, degenerative disease, medical interventions
  2. Information: accuracy, pertinence, science, fundamentalism, signal-to-noise ratio, overload
  3. Nature/human ecology
  4. Artifact
  5. Society: dominator/partnership models, wealth and income distributions, unemployment, emergence of “system” and “megamachine,” migration, technology, transition movement, corporatism, localism, criminalization, incarceration
  • What do we want?
  1. Describe vision for self, society, Earth
  2. Selfish gene, meme machines, status in social hierarchy, Maslow's Hierarchy
  • How can we get it?
  1. accommodation, manipulation, consciousness, technology
  2. What ask/offer?
  3. Portfolio of selves akin to investment portfolio, trade-offs in satisfying different levels of Maslow's Hierarchy
  4. How become better able to realize vision through conscious evolution of self?
  5. Alter information: genetic, epigenetic, experiential; replace flawed bases for knowing value with science-based religing, biophysical economics
  6. Evolve money system: abandon debt money, adopt seignorage money system,
  7. Evolve political and moral philosophy: literal, integrated capitalism, incomism, communism, individualism
  8. Social contract: how many people, for how long, relying upon what inputs, using what technologies, to generate what outputs, allocating work and reward how, to what ends, with what mechanism for contract amendment?
  9. How evolve visions
