One of the places I have often found interesting to look for new ideas to think about is read.fluxcollective.org #systemsthinking

As people set up #AI agents to help answer questions, it will be interesting to see the different ways they cope with the values inherent in the AI answers. Will they demand AI responses reflect their values or will they listen to more open #Values expressed by AI agents?

Values inevitably affect one's framing of knowledge, whether in sharing or receiving a knowledge statement. The question I would ask is: Do those values support or restrict the advancement of Open Knowledge understanding? #Values #OpenKnowledge linkedin.com/pulse/4-open-k…

It's time to recognise the truth about conflict is rarely binary and to foster more informed public discourse, fully recognising the voices & narratives promoting peace building & nonviolence. So this👇is more than interesting Making Peace Visible #Peace makingpeacevisible.org/core-principles

How many of us might become subordinate to our AI-selves - following interests, developing relationships, undertaking studies, pursuing careers, spending & investing money & even reflecting values recommended by our #AIAgent? Would AI then serve us or we be the servant of #AI?

When distractions go from being brief moments of resting one's mind to being the purpose of life, what have our lives become? Isn't it time for #ConsciousEvolution rather than further submission to mindless (and mindlessness inducing) systems?

This 👇, I recognise, sums up far too much of my life, pursuing conditioned goals and desires rather than advancing my deeper humanity... #mutualwellbeing #openknowledge

It's time for the whole system of #politics to grow up to be made fit to work for the benefit of all. Is thinking that to be an unrealistic aspiration an indication of how our minds have been conditioned by abuse to accept abuse? #ItsTimeforPoliticstoGrowUp #WellbeingPolitics

What if we had more #Journalism that helped provide frameworks of understanding that could be used as the scaffolding to build meaningful discussions to achieve #Peace based on enabling a future of #MutualWellbeing? #PeaceJournalism #WellbeingPolitics

It might help maintain a degree of optimism in these dark times, when our mutual wellbeing is plagued by the mould of conflict seeking and justifying behaviours, to draw on this thought: Penicillin naturally grew out of Penicillium mould #reasonstobeoptimistic?

I wouldn't want to live in a world where I could not see the problems, but I remain shocked that we allow wilful conflict, corruption & carelessness (in every sense) to dominate our lives, when we could be working much more effectively towards mutually beneficial #mutualwellbeing

As long as our political & economic systems are so badly constituted that they permit power to be captured for personal exploitation, what chance is there we will ever be free from the abuse of sociopaths? #politics #economics #itstimeforpoliticstogrowup linkedin.com/pulse/first-pr…

What if one dare to unshackle one's mind from the beliefs (ideological, social & economic) that we are conditioned to define ourselves by, and instead recognise oneself first & foremost as a human being, viewing such beliefs merely as ways of understanding & navigating life?

Emotive Conjugation - one way to test how (un)biased a statement is and to help one identify prejudices (your own as well as others) .... #EmotiveConjugation #OpenKnowledge en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotive_c…

“We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the offspring of our past” —Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936)

Which matters more:- To obtain a perceived 'justice' for past harms, OR To develop a future of mutual wellbeing? #mutualwellbeing

Interesting thoughts on parliamentary and direct democracy 👇 #Democracy #Politics

Is the path to mutual wellbeing better built on: 1) Polarized-positioning and Argument-twisting in a Winner-takes-all Debate OR 2) Inclusive, Reasoned and Reasonable, Reflective-Discourse? #MutualWellbeing #OpenKnowledge #WellbeingPolitics

Might the best form of justice for past abuse of power held by some over others, be a future where power over others by anyone is held in check, with power structured to work with everyone affected, applied for the mutual wellbeing of everyone and kept under constant review?

Dark Factors of Personality in #Politics It's time to recognise those governments in the world that have been taken over by so called leaders with "D" personalities. #Government The Psychological Core of Unethical, Antisocial People | Psychology Today psychologytoday.com/us/blog/toward…
