Ervin László - Cybernetics in an evolving social system (1984)

 

Abstract

Human societies can be conceptualized as natural systems satisfying four basic system criteria: Ordered wholeness; negative feedback deviation‐reducing capability; positive feedback deviation‐amplifying, self‐evolving capacity; and dual‐structural adaptation to sub‐ as well as suprasystems. While societies are obviously governable in stable, relatively organized situations, whether in totalitarian or fully participatory ways, it is concluded they are also governable during “crucial epochs” that are characterized by unstable, provisionally disorganized and unpredictable states—although different modes of governance prevail during these periods of rapid self‐evolution, when control is exercised by rapidly shifting and selectively amplifying peripheral movements. Analysis of the forms of transition governance during crucial epochs in self‐evolving social systems is important for suppressing totalitarian trends and consciously amplifying humanistic peripheral movements.

 

Club of Rome 

In 1993, in response to his experience with the Club of Rome, he founded the Club of Budapest to, in his words, "centre attention on the evolution of human values and consciousness as the crucial factors in changing course — from a race towards degradation, polarization and disaster to a rethinking of values and priorities so as to navigate today's transformation in the direction of humanism, ethics and global sustainability".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Walter Bowart - Operation Mind Control (1978)

Info

Operation Mind Control - The CIA - The Making and Unmaking of a KILLER! This is the most terrifying true story ever to emerge from the united states. Walter Bowart has uncovered a huge government cryptocracy dedicated to controlling and manipulating human minds. Through hypnosis and drugs, ordinary citizens became CIA zombies, human computers, spies, trained assassins, with no control over their consciousness or consciousness of their actions. Only unexplained memory gaps, or a separate personality which emerged on a trigger cue, showed the victim that something else was amiss. Bowart's devastating account includes top secret documents cold-bloodedly outlining the cryptocracy's program, and startling new evidence to link Lee Harvey Oswald, James Earl Ray, and Sirhan Sirhan with Operation Mind Control. In the Manchurian Candidate that was fiction - OPERATION MIND CONTROL IS CHILLING FACT!
