1) newcomer comment is not targeted at you (expert). its about obvious pitfalls for newbies 2) We are essentially talking about the same thing, call it what you want (Gaia hypothesis, globally connected system using ML etc.) Find it a incomplete model with dangerous sideeffects

To clearly articulate why i find the model incomplete/dangerous, would stretch the medium (twitter). But to provoke: Technology is what got us into this mess in the first place, more tech won't fix it.

Elle Barka did not address me directly here, but I am very interested in that topic, and I disagree with the idea that a detailed AI model of all planetary matters that could inform global policy would make matters worse. I also suspect we could get it funded.

Model is not inherently wrong, but as said "incomplete" & with dangerous side-effects, which need to be addressed properly. Chinese, Google & NSA are clearly working towards such a "integrated total information awareness cybernetic feedback loop system"https://twitter.com/ChinaMedia1/status/994142319719927809 …

China Digital @China_DigitalChina's Social Credit System is a big thing, and most - if not all - mainstream reporting on it contains major factual mistakes.

China operates under the premise that the government is better at dealing with social and administrative questions than the general public. I the US, it is the other way around. Neither model generalizes for the other side.

Btw: If you were confronted with a choice between limiting individual freedom or ecological collapse, what would you prefer?

I am fully aware of this conundrum - it is the biggest question of our lifetime. What i don't like is the binary way its often stated: Either collapse or cybernetic borg. I strikes me as artificially/ideologically limiting the search space. What viable alternatives can we find?

The problem is to find people that are neither serving mammon nor ideology nor vanity, and yet are not sociopaths or confused. Most activists don't seem to be clear thinkers.
