From Logos to Newspeak: How the Degradation of Language Becomes the Degradation of Civilization — and Why Reclaiming Precision of Word Is the First Act of Sovereignty
Elliot Jacques used time horizon as an accurate proxy measure for cognitive complexity in organizations where people are responsible for outputs. Getting actual stuff done. What often happened was that the complexity of the environment shifted and was more demanding than a person could handle.
This all points to development. People evolve over time , driven either from within but mostly under evolutionary pressure. Which I think we are seeing now. Climate , viruses, wind and ocean currents, data , billionaire money; all of these transcend national borders. And we do not yet have the global structural or ethical frames to respond. But I think the new nodes are starting to emerge, prompted by survival drive from middle powers, including Canada and Ukraine. How do we build the frameworks for healthy emergence, even as the old empires thin out?
