ANNOTATION: Thinking in Cybernetics Rather than a Natural Language
What would happen to the nature of human society if over the
course of time everybody began to (almost literally) think in
terms of cybernetics instead of a natural language? What would
happen if people began to live, think and breathe cybernetics?
What would happen if all children were taught utilizing
constructivism and thus to think for themselves instead of being
indoctrinated with potentially false information? What would
happen if all humans became systems thinkers, and what would the
metasystem of them be like, what types of unimaginably powerful
emergent phenomena would be produced? What would be left to
achieve given a situation like this, locked-in generation after
generation? What would a system of problem-solvers be like, as
opposed to the system of endless debaters/meeting
attenders/cynics/"Life is a s**t sandwich, just let me die"
crowd we now have? What would it be like to actually enjoy
living, to have a purpose in life? What would it be like to
communicate with other solar systems, with societies where all
the aforementioned events have also occurred?
I don't know.
