Ceridwen on Amsterdam and global warming:

…in the Jordaan, one of the favourite tourist spots of the city. This man’s arm was broken in a squat eviction that took place there yesterday. By the time these cops get their pension the Netherlands will probably not have much longer to exist as a country. It will be under water and millions of Dutch refugees will be pouring over the border into Germany saying sorry they kept asking for their bicycles back but could they please have a house, a job and a future? By then most of northern Germany will also be under water, along with Bangladesh, New York City, much of Florida and large parts of China.I’m listening to Al Gore as I write this having just watched American scientists on TV saying that global warming caused by CO2 emissions is a certainty but American politicians are incapable of doing anything about it. The voters want to carry on driving their 4×4’s. I’ve noticed over the years how popular Jeeps and Land Rovers and Hummers have become in Amsterdam as Holland has become richer and richer. Shell is a Dutch company with a lousy human rights and environmental record. The Dutch Rabobank helps to finance the destruction of the Amazon rainforest, along with ABN Amro, ING and Fortis Bank, which is just about all the Dutch banks. So the Dutch are washing their own country down the plughole of history.European and American neocolonialism is destroying the planet. Time is running out. We have ten years to change but nobody wants to. I frankly don’t care what happens to the Dutch. They have their history of slavery and colonialism so they shall reap what they have sown. But the millions of poor people in Bangladesh, once a Dutch colony till the British moved in? I care what happens to them. They don’t deserve to be the victims of our greed. Hurricane Katrina was America’s wake up call. Did they hear it? Some did. Most are still not listening. To put all this in perspective there has been life on earth for 3.6 billion years. After 160,000 years of Homo sapiens sapiens we are already at the tipping point of extinction as a result of just 250 years of affluence that started with the industrial revolution in Britain. If you want to survive this take my advice. Don’t be under forty years old. Only a revolution in our thinking and behaviour will give us a chance of survival.Washington Post/Al Gore

Introduction

People who are raised in the industrial world and who get enthused about systems thinking are likely to make a terrible mistake. They are likely to assume that here, in systems analysis, in interconnection and complication, in the power of the computer, here at last, is the key to prediction and control. This mistake is likely because the mindset of the industrial world assumes that there is a key to prediction and control.

I assumed that at first too. We all assumed it, as eager systems students at the great institution called MIT. More or less innocently, enchanted by what we could see through our new lens, we did what many discoverers do. We exaggerated our own ability to change the world. We did so not with any intent to deceive others, but in the expression of our own expectations and hopes. Systems thinking for us was more than subtle, complicated mindplay. It was going to Make Systems Work.

But self-organizing, nonlinear, feedback systems are inherently unpredictable. They are not controllable. They are understandable only in the most general way. The goal of foreseeing the future exactly and preparing for it perfectly is unrealizable. The idea of making a complex system do just what you want it to do can be achieved only temporarily, at best. We can never fully understand our world, not in the way our reductionistic science has led us to expect. Our science itself, from quantum theory to the mathematics of chaos, leads us into irreducible uncertainty. For any objective other than the most trivial, we can’t optimize; we don’t even know what to optimize. We can’t keep track of everything. We can’t find a proper, sustainable relationship to nature, each other, or the institutions we create, if we try to do it from the role of omniscient conqueror.

For those who stake their identity on the role of omniscient conqueror, the uncertainty exposed by systems thinking is hard to take. If you can’t understand, predict, and control, what is there to do?

Systems thinking leads to another conclusion, however; waiting, shining, obvious as soon as we stop being blinded by the illusion of control. It says that there is plenty to do, of a different sort of “doing.” The future can’t be predicted, but it can be envisioned and brought lovingly into being. Systems can’t be controlled, but they can be designed and redesigned. We can’t surge forward with certainty into a world of no surprises, but we can expect surprises and learn from them and even profit from them. We can’t impose our will upon a system. We can listen to what the system tells us, and discover how its properties and our values can work together to bring forth something much better than could ever be produced by our will alone.

We can’t control systems or figure them out. But we can dance with them! I already knew that, in a way before I began to study systems. I had learned about dancing with great powers from whitewater kayaking, from gardening, from playing music, from skiing. All those endeavors require one to stay wide awake, pay close attention, participate flat out, and respond to feedback. It had never occurred to me that those same requirements might apply to intellectual work, to management, to government, to getting along with people.

But there it was, the message emerging from every computer model we made. Living successfully in a world of systems requires more of us than our ability to calculate. It requires our full humanity; our rationality, our ability to sort out truth from falsehood, our intuition, our compassion, our vision, and our morality.

I will summarize the most general “systems wisdoms” I have absorbed from modeling complex systems and hanging out with modelers. These are the take-home lessons, the concepts and practices that penetrate the discipline of systems so deeply that one begins, however imperfectly, to practice them not just in one’s profession, but in all of life.

The list probably isn’t complete, because I am still a student in the school of systems. And it isn’t unique to systems thinking. There are many ways to learn to dance. But here, as a start-off dancing lesson, are the practices I see my colleagues adopting, consciously or unconsciously, as they encounter systems.

Subject: Voices of Latin America

Dear all,

We have now organised the third in the series of Latin
American seminars under the ‘Voices of Latin America’
project.

The title is: The Left in Mexico and the Other
Campaign.

Date: Monday 3rd of July at 7PM.

Venue: IRMO offices, 493 Cambridge Heath Road,
London E2 9BU.

The main speakers will be: Camilo Salazar and Fernando
Moret.

This will be a very interesting talk for anyone who
wants to know about the left in Mexico and which are
the alternatives after the elections. The elections
will occur on the 2nd of July and there are some hopes
from the left if the PRD wins. However, does the PRD
represents the left and if it does, which left
represents? Is the other campaign from the Zapatistas
another alternative, another left? Which are the
proposals of the other campaign?

Please spread the word!!

(We’ll send a flyer soon)

In her effort to try out all the best blogging tools (and steadily grow her presence in the blogosphere) Sonia has recently added a Pickled Politics journal, creatively called Sonia’s Diary, a livejournal blog called The Desert and The Sea, and a new WordPress.com book/encyclopaedia-focussed blog, called desert and sea.

All this blogging and linking to herself is helping Sonia to increase her technorati rankings, and she’s doing pretty well at around 40,000th 30,000th top blog.

In fact, if you search google for collaborative markets Sonia is top of the list
(and her request to “free the free markets please” is worth a read)

Maybe if Sonia (and what about Oli, Dave, Paula, Leighton, Ceridwen, Gary and City Hippy) all write an article about The Merton Rule on their blogs then the Merton Rule site will be at the top of google searches for “Merton Rule” and not just google searchs for “The Merton Rule”

Here is a little snippit for them all (and you!) to include:

“The ‘Merton Rule‘ is the groundbreaking planning policy, pioneered by the London Borough of Merton, which requires the use of renewable energy onsite to reduce annual carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions in the built environment. Hundreds of local authorities look set to follow Merton’s lead, which will impact all new major development projects throughout the UK.”

THE SQAURE Occupied Social Centre is due to be evicted on Friday morning. They have asked anyone who has used or supports the space to gather outside to resist the evition BEFORE 9AM on FRIDAY MORNING.

Having access to a central space and resource like THE SQAURE has been of immense value to a very large number of groups working for positive social change. Please help them by turning up on Friday morning and/or forwarding this message on.

Their call out and eviction update follow…

>> >>RESIST THE EVICTION OF THE SQUARE O.C.S.

[9am Friday June 23rd outside 21 - 22 Russell Square, London WC1]

The Square Social Centre is due to be evicted next Friday 23rd June. We
have decided to put out a call to resist the eviction. We are hoping that as many groups and individuals as possible who have used the Square for events, meetings, campaigns, film showings, benefits etc will show their support.

We are calling for people to assemble outside THE SQUARE at 9am (or
earliar!) on Friday 23rd June. There will also be a meeting this monday
at 7pm to plan and organise how we will resist.

>> >>FESTIVAL OF RESISTANCE – SAT 24th & SUN 25th

To celebrate our achievements and time at THE SQUARE, We are planning a
weekend festival of events from Saturday 24th – Sunday 25th June. The
FESTIVAL OF RESISTANcE will be a showcase of the many social struggles &
political campaigns in London that have participated in and been supported by The Square. There will be an open mic for experiences and analysis aswell as dozens of live bands, DJ’s, food, drinks, discussions and cinema.

>> >>HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT US

We want as many people as possible to arrive at 9am (or earliar!) and
assemble outside 21 & 22 Russell Square. Bring your friends, banners,
passion!

If you or your group or band have participated, used, supported THE SQUARE over the last months then please email us to have your group name added to the list of supporters.

If you are an academic or involved in a student society or study at university please email us so we can add your name (with your department/uni) to the list of supporters from the university.

If you would like to get involved, or your group would like to support the Festival of Resistance, please come along on 7pm Monday 19th June meeting or email: square@riseup.net

http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/06/342730.html?c=on#c149665

>> >>THE SQUARE – THE END?

THE SQUARE has been an attempt to construct a radical common space, where ideas and alternatives to the present rule of commercial interests and authoritarianism can be developed. Over the past 6 months we have created a network consisting of many who feel and share the need for social change. We hoped that during our time at THE SQUARE we have made this more possible and have laid the ground for new initiatives of
self-organisation, co-operation and commuincation. For some of us THE
SQUARE has been a step forward from previous social centres (Grand Banks – Tufnel Park, Institute For Autonomy – Gower Street), the relationships
formed have been solidified and consolidated, we have made connections
with many groups and people we thought we never could, we have become
constituent network, a diverse community within a common space. Lets make this weekend a springboard for future activity.
