The Ingenuity Revolution

13 June, 2009 (01:53) | Prodsol | By: Gary Bartlett

This is the first Prodsol Blog.  I’d like it to be a good one, but I’m flat out and can’t really afford the time to work out exactly what style I’m going to use.  I have screeds of stuff that people have been on at me to blog about, but none of it is really blog-ready.

So I’ve decided to have a first-cut at recording one of the cooler things we’ve come up with in recent months - The Ingenuity Revolution.  So here goes:

The next major era in our evolution as a civilisation is on its way – and the recession is merely evidence that our civilisation has reached the end of the previous evolutionary cycle.  We’re at the point where the existing paradigm needs to be replaced by a new one, to take us through the next cycle of our evolution.  The writing is on the wall – the recession is one of many indicators that the current paradigm is fast-reaching its sell-by date.

In addition to being a graphic illustration of the need for a new paradigm, the recession also provides us with the burning platform we need to make the leap into the next cycle of our evolution.  The combination of the recession, the flattening off of the knowledge economy paradigm (which contributed significantly to the creation of the recession) and the dramatically accelerating rate at which computers are taking over ever more advanced human functions (Ray Kurzweil’s prediction of an artificial intelligence singularity) creates a huge opportunity for our society to bring the next era – the Ingenuity Revolution – about.

The secret of success in the Ingenuity Revolution, is the ability to (a) manufacture and (b) disseminate ingenuity – and the trick to achieving this is to use (a) alternative generating and integrating – and (b) option-rich – frameworks, reverse-engineered from nirvana outcomes backwards.

So, what do you reckon – are we onto something here?  Leave a comment if you have a minute.  Don’t bother to critique my style – just comment on the content!  Thanks.
