Modelling looming futures. Will thoughts become actions
We need to create our sustainable future now, by transforming economies into circular systems and arresting environmental pollution, manmade global heating, and destruction of the world’s biodiversity. Of course, we must also deal with the current geopolitical and pandemic crises. A model-based approach towards the future we need builds on experience and insight into the world’s complex system of systems. A model comprising spheres that represent…
A World after Covid‐19: Business as Usual, or Building Bolder and Better
The authors propose a holistic approach to life and living after the coronavirus crisis of 2020 has become history. Their method is to postulate studied reconsideration of the true needs of the human species, new know‐how for all, novel codes of behavior, and drastic change to how we treat nature. Their findings name humanity's ballooning population as problem Number One. Without reverting to former ways, we need to apply our imagination to sound…
Needed yesterday: A world that never was
This essay projects how a plague may be transformed into post-infection resilience. Peering into the future after Covid-19 has subsided, global heating and the burgeoning demands of the population remain wicked problems – hard to resolve and certainly not by business-as-usual. We have to envisage a world that was not before; new ideals, more rational objectives and more rewarding ways of life. A Great Reset may facilitate the essential transforma…

Communication, a Critical Pathway to Development
Communication is a societal process working best when its targets are well-intentioned and systematically identified. The author here discusses his work with communication systems in developing countries. Catalysis and technical assistance available from international organizations have strong roles to play in this process
The Military Factor in Scientific Research
The role of the military imperative in science is here examined. The historical drives of nation states to defend themselves, or to transmute defence into offence, have been a consistently compulsive and political factor since at least the European Renaissance. Here the manifold aspects of the military factor are reviewed, including the rare occasions when improved weapons technology was spurned, the drive for mass production of arms, chemical wa…
