3018 - Summary/Objective
3019 -
301901 - Follow up ref SDS 57 0000, ref SDS 54 0000.
301902 -
301903 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Paul Fernhout on ways to address global
301904 - problems, e.g., food shortage. ref DRT 1 KP3L
301905 -
301906 -     On 000127 Paul discussed impact of international markets and
301907 -     competition on global bio-diversity, ref SDS 16 1055, limitations
301908 -     of free markets to adjustment in time to avoid disruption of
301909 -     delicate environmental balance. ref SDS 16 J88N
301910 -
301911 -     On 000604 Paul reviews similar issues again, ref SDS 25 1075, and
301912 -     separation of church and state. ref SDS 25 9G8O

301916 - Moore's Law Leads to Expanding Complexity
301917 -
301918 - Paul says today there are issues and challenges that flow from the
301919 - implications of Moore's law applied over the next four decades (i.e.
301920 - computers a million to a trillion times faster than today's desktop
301921 - for the same price).  Moore's law is itself a product of a
301922 - bootstrapping sort of process. Others are related to similar
301923 - exponential growth curves in biotechnology, nanotechnology,
301924 - communications technology, manufacturing technology, power technology,
301925 - materials technology, robotics, and collaborative technology (IT
301926 - and/or social). ref DRT 1 EH5M
301927 -
301928 -         [On 001219 Paul cites nanotechnology as threatening
301929 -         overwhelming complexity. ref SDS 58 9I6K
301930 -
301931 -     In some respects, this problem reflects the exponential growth of
301932 -     complexity that comes with progress, cited on 991010. ref SDS 10
301933 -     3066  It is the core issue of the New World Order paper.

301936 -     Doug Engelbart seeks to improve competency for handling complex
301937 -     problems, reported on 001114. ref SDS 48 SU3L
301938 -
301939 -         [On 001219 Paul seems to invert Doug's mission. ref SDS 58
301940 -         T66K
301941 -
301942 -     On 000120 this was discussed in a letter during the Colloquium.
301943 -     ref SDS 15 1215 and ref SDS 15 1225
301944 -
301945 -     On 000327 discussed with Doug Engelbart the problem of technology
301946 -     changing faster than people and organizations can learn to apply
301947 -     it productively. ref SDS 19 8484
301948 - ..
301949 - Paul maintains that compared to challenges of expanding
301950 - complexity arising from the growth of technology, running out of oil
301951 - in a century or two is a non-problem.  In that sense, asking where our
301952 - economy will get its power in a hundred years is a bit like demanding
301953 - a five year answer in detail how they will earn a living after
301954 - college. Obviously we don't want to wave all our problems into a
301955 - future "deus ex machina", but the question is -- is exponential
301956 - (bootstrap) growth happening, and if so, what does it mean the real
301957 - problems will be (and for who and where and when)? ref DRT 1 LJ6M
301958 -
301959 -      [On 001219 Paul submits articles and analysis to support his
301960 -      concern that expanding technological complexity will be a bigger
301961 -      problem than running out of oil. ref SDS 58 T66K
301962 - ..
301963 - Paul laments lack of resources to get KM going in an open source
301964 - way. He feels self-reliance communities in space will one day relieve
301965 - pressures caused by unbounded market competition. ref DRT 1 009L
301966 -
301967 -      [On 001219 Paul is concerned that commercial KM projects make it
301968 -      hard for open source projects to aid humanity, to get funds.
301969 -      ref SDS 58 T65G
301970 -
301971 - ..
301972 - Paul cites world food problem attributed to poor distribution by
301973 - free markets.  He worries about weapons proliforation, destruction of
301974 - bio-diversity, and misguided social policies. ref DRT 1 KP3L  This
301975 - compliments discussion yesterday on using KM to solve the world food
301976 - shortage, and the obesity problem in America. ref SDS 57 MV8R
301977 -
301978 -    On 001025 Paul anticipated demand is building to create a market
301979 -    for KM projects, ref SDS 40 02TX, reflecting analysis on 000920
301980 -    that KM is an attractive product idea. ref SDS 34 2V5F  On 001114
301981 -    Doug Engelbart awarded National Medal of Technology striving to
301982 -    improve competency for solving complex problems. ref SDS 48 SU3L
301983 -    Possibly the demand for creating KM will eventually translate into
301984 -    demand for doing KM, per meeting with Henry van Eykan on 001105.

301987 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 explaining The underlying problem of
301988 - the new world order formed by Moore's law is that alphabet technology,
301989 - which has been core knowledge tool for two millenia is running out gas
301990 - on the Information Highway.  Doug recognizes the challenge is
301991 - augmenting competence for handling growing complexity, per the
301992 - citation in his award for the National Medal of Technology, reported
301993 - on 001114. ref SDS 48 SU3L, also cited in POIMS. ref OF 1 1054
