14 OTT 2024 · This excerpt from Ugo Bardi's "Limits and Beyond" is a reflection on the 50th anniversary of the Club of Rome's seminal work "The Limits to Growth." The text examines the historical context of the original report, its reception, the criticisms it received, and its continued relevance in the 21st century. The text explores the concept of "limits to growth" as a crucial factor in understanding the decline of civilizations, highlighting the potential for global collapse due to resource depletion, environmental degradation, and unsustainable population growth. Bardi's work provides a framework for understanding the systemic nature of these challenges and the urgent need for transformative change in our economic and social systems. The authors call for a shift in our understanding of progress and development, moving away from a singular focus on economic growth and towards a more holistic approach centered on human well-being and planetary health. The text examines various proposals for a more sustainable future, including Bhutan’s model of Gross National Happiness, the concept of a “Solidarity Capitalism,” and the importance of embracing "no limits to learning." Throughout, the text emphasizes the need for a paradigm shift in our understanding of the world, characterized by greater awareness of interdependence, empathy, and a reconnection with the natural world.

14 OTT 2024 · This excerpt from Fritjof Capra’s The Web of Life highlights the development and significance of “systems thinking” in understanding living organisms. Capra argues that traditional scientific approaches, based on reductionist methodologies and a focus on isolated components, fail to capture the complexity and interconnectedness of living systems. He presents a new paradigm, grounded in “deep ecology” and “holistic” perspectives, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all phenomena and the inherent value of nonhuman life. He discusses the emergence of the “mathematics of complexity,” which allows scientists to model the nonlinear and dynamic interactions within living systems. Capra then delves into key concepts like autopoiesis, self-organization, and dissipative structures, emphasizing their role in understanding the self-regulating nature of living systems and the unfolding of life. The text concludes with an exploration of the impact of “languaging” and “structural coupling” on the evolution of human consciousness and culture, urging a shift from an anthropocentric worldview to an ecocentric one that recognizes the interconnectedness of all living systems and the need for sustainable human communities.

14 OTT 2024 · This source is an excerpt from Yuval Noah Harari's book "Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI." The excerpt focuses on the third part of the book, "Computer Politics", and explores the political implications of the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). Harari examines how information flows differently in democracies and dictatorships, considering how AI changes the power dynamics of both systems. The text argues that AI has the potential to create a new "Silicon Curtain" that separates nations and shapes global power structures. Throughout the excerpt, Harari emphasizes the need to maintain a balance between truth and order in a world increasingly dominated by computer networks. He warns of the dangers of AI becoming too powerful and the potential for misuse by authoritarian regimes. Ultimately, the excerpt argues that human societies must develop robust ethical frameworks and institutions to regulate AI and prevent catastrophic consequences.

14 OTT 2024 · This excerpt from Roger Penrose's Cycles of Time delves into the nature of the Second Law of Thermodynamics and its implications for cosmology. Penrose challenges the conventional view that the universe began in an extraordinarily low-entropy state and argues that entropy must be continually increasing throughout the universe's existence. To support his claim, he introduces the concept of conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC), which proposes that the universe goes through a series of endless cycles, with each cycle beginning with a Big Bang and ending with a Big Crunch, and where the Big Crunch of one cycle smoothly connects to the Big Bang of the next. Penrose argues that CCC provides a more satisfying explanation for the Second Law and addresses puzzles surrounding the nature of singularities and the role of quantum gravity. He further suggests that dark matter and dark energy play crucial roles in CCC.
