SOWING ACCORD SERIES, 4 of 6: A prototype socioeconomic reality of humans advancing across the solar system – 2021-2071

Martin Schwab

Military industrial complexes (MICs) transformed into exploration information networks (EINs) The following text is a “prototype sketch” that allows readers to refine concepts on their own and even begin implementing in part(s) as they see fit and are able. This piece is not political analysis (what is), political commentary (what and who is to blame) or an international/national security scenario (what could happen). Think what cannot be done today and achieve it by tonight, or overnight – at least in prototype form.

SOWING ACCORD SERIES, 2 of 6: Humans on the move

Martin Schwab

Prospects for synergistic power across the solar system and eventually beyond We now have the opportunity to construct synergistic power among close to eight billion individual humans. If we the majority of humans focus on doing this in many ways both preliminary and eventual, those few who guard their entrenched power relative to others in the current status quo will come to see advantages to their quality and length of lives from our inclusive efforts. We can redesign our social structures to maximize individual freedom as well as foundational needs. No revolution, evolution, devolution or power-corrupting hierarchies are necessary. Synergistic-heterarchical … Continue reading SOWING ACCORD SERIES, 2 of 6: Humans on the move

SOWING ACCORD SERIES, 1 of 6: Post-hierarchical political and economic options from a solar systems perspective

Martin Schwab

Prospects for human expansion beyond Earth, enabled by a knowledge-based economic system yielding practical abundance through interchange (not exchange) and non-authoritarian heterarchy Welcome to Sowing Accord, a new project of mine here at 3×3 Global Drills. After receiving my Ph.D. in political science (international relations) from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 2012, I wrote the second edition of Homeplanet Defense (2014, 2005) and taught international relations in Mexico from 2015 to 2016 as a guest instructor at Tecnologico de Monterrey – Campus Cuernavaca. I have decided to write and create more video about 1) post-hierarchy prototyping, 2) abundance-based … Continue reading SOWING ACCORD SERIES, 1 of 6: Post-hierarchical political and economic options from a solar systems perspective

Better alternatives to money-dominated reality

Martin Schwab

Also available on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/310739282 (4:05) From 2014-2018, this channel produced a number of videos centering around my 3×3 Global Drills process, the core idea of my dissertation in political science (international relations), “Prospects for Collaborative Power in a Brutal Universe,” University of Hawaii (2012). Those videos provide a deeper understanding of the shorter videos planned for 2019 and beyond on how we as humans can prevent our extinction by rejecting hierarchical power structures and exercising positive synergistic power. If you find these videos helpful, feel free to share with your own comments. Also, thank you for whatever you can … Continue reading Better alternatives to money-dominated reality

Intro to 2019: Do we need nations or money?

Martin Schwab

This introduction signals a new direction for 2019. From 2014-2018, this YouTube channel produced a number of videos centering around my 3×3 Global Drills process, the core idea of my dissertation in political science (international relations), “Prospects for Collaborative Power in a Brutal Universe,” University of Hawaii (2012). Those videos provide a deeper understanding of the shorter videos planned for 2019 and beyond. Stay tuned for a variety of thoughts on how we as humans can prevent our extinction. If you find these videos helpful, feel free to share with your own comments. Continue reading Intro to 2019: Do we need nations or money?

Global sea rise migration within 40 years

Martin Schwab

Here, we consider rapid climate change on Earth, no matter the cause, resulting in drastic global sea rise for next generations of humans based on the ongoing disintegration of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) since May 2014, Greenland ice loss from 2002-2016 and glacial melt around the world. (See also, “Ramp-up In Antarctic Ice Loss Speeds Sea Level Rise,” Sea Level Change/Sea Level News, NASA, June 13, 2018.) Utilizing the 3×3 Global Drills process, any six people or less in any organization(s) can amend the working outline below. It offers a simple but comprehensive structure for how all humans, … Continue reading Global sea rise migration within 40 years

Countering the gamma-ray burst threat within our galaxy

Martin Schwab

As we fight each other for territory across Earth and artificially created scarcity-based money, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) of potentially planet surface-life ending radiation occur at random moments by imploding stars outside and possibly within our galaxy. Current and near-future human generations on Earth and eventually across the solar system may not be able to deflect this natural lethal mega-force in space. Underwater and subterranean habitats offer interim protection from GRBs. As beautiful and nurturing as Earth can be in the Cinderella zone of our sun, if the human family stays confined to just one solar system, we could be eliminated. The … Continue reading Countering the gamma-ray burst threat within our galaxy
