Technology enables us to connect and communicate with anyone anywhere in the world. Advances in #AugmentedReality and #VirtualReality give us the capability to experience, vicariously the lives of one another without risk of discounting or misappropriating our cultural realities.
Additionally, through developments in #MachineLearning and #ArtificialIntelligence we can incorporate #gamification techniques to facilitate learning.
And by giving ready access to what we’re learning through approaches like #OpenScience and platforms such as #KnowledgeCommons, we can influence our social systems so they better reflect those basic benchmarks of truth, unity, love, and justice.

Social media platforms apply sophisticated algorithms to capture / hold user attention with targeted content paid for by platform customers. For this platform owners accrue wealth, customers increase the odds of success, and users risk going down a rabbit hole of media addiction.
Genetic algorithms based on game theory principles increase the time users focus attention on social media platform content and anticipate their behavior. What incentives could algorithms employ that would prompt users to successfully address wicked problems in their communities?
Customers and owners of social media platforms profit from the non-compensated time users dedicate to interacting with content made available through the influence of algorithms. How much more value would users generate if they received compensation for platform interaction time?

“Education is of three kinds: material, human, and spiritual.
Material education aims at the growth and development of the body. Human education…consists in civilization and progress. [Spiritual] education…in acquiring divine perfections. This is...true education.”—‘Abdu’l-Bahá
One can apply the #Maslow #HierarchyofNeeds to three kinds of education: #material education—concerns basic (physiological and safety) needs; #human education—relates to social and esteem needs; and #divine education—refers to self-realization and transition to a #spiritual life.
The instruction manual for each kind of education establishes the rules and boundaries one must honor to 1) survive in the material, physical world; 2) advance the development of human social systems; and 3) pursue the divine attributes needed for progress in the spiritual world.

To make fundamental changes in the behavior of a #SocialSystem requires its #agents adopt an alternative #purpose and #OrganizingPrinciples to those currently in place. If successful, this shift will create a new social system with significantly different #rules and #boundaries.
Any social system change process begins with a set of conversations among agents in the system about how to better apply its purpose and organizing principles. This leads to experimentation with alternatives, then modification of the rules and boundaries to adopt those that work.
Important topics for #conversation at the outset of an intentional #SocialSystem #ChangeProcess are those that bring #agents in the system together to recall and / or clarify the system’s #purpose and #OrganizingPrinciples then to either confirm them or challenge their relevance.

Like all complex organisms, a #LargeSystem must stay focused on its #purpose, honor its #OrganizingPrinciples, and question and modify its #rules and #boundaries if it is to successfully #adapt to perturbations in its internal / external #environment or risk losing its #identity.
If a #LargeSystem fails to #adapt, more #agents in the system experience unmet needs / wants. Eventually, affected agents will challenge those with rule and boundary setting authority to align the system to its purpose and principles and modify the system’s rules and boundaries.
Change occurs in a #LargeSystem when #agents modify its #rules and #boundaries to maintain #integrity with its original #purpose and #OrganizingPrinciples. If agents adopt another purpose and / or organizing principles, the original system loses its integrity and ceases to exist.

Accurate, complete and timely #information transmission, archival and retrieval are essential for the determination of #CauseAndEffect; #responsibility for #choices; #accountability for #consequences; and #judgement against #transgressions of #LargeSystem #rules and #boundaries.
Because accurate, complete, and timely #information is essential to determine #CauseAndEffect, it drives the ability of a #LargeSystem to #adapt successfully. Conversely, compromised information leads authorized #agents in the system to make decisions that result in its failure.
The basic design criteria for the flows of #information in an adaptive #LargeSystem must assure that EACH agent reports the #truth as that agent experiences it (accurate); ALL agents in the system participate in reporting (complete); and EVERY agent reports continuously (timely).
