Themes

“Every great architect is -- necessarily -- a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.”

“The architect must be a prophet . . . if he can't see at least ten years ahead, then don’t call him an architect.”

– Frank Lloyd Wright

“The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place...But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflection on

human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary.

– James Madison

“Humanity is a biological species in a biological world...we are exquisitely well adapted to live on this particular planet. Although exalted in many ways, we remain an animal species of the global fauna.”

– Edward O. Wilson

Historical Perspectives A view from Harvard and MIT

“We have created a Star Wars civilization, with Stone Age emotions, medieval institutions, and god-like technology...We are terribly confused by the mere fact of our existence, and a danger to ourselves and to the rest of life.”

•» – Edward O. Wilson

“...it appears that much of the preparation nature has invested in us...is failing us. Our neuroanatomy is tuned

to respond to sudden, dramatic changes in our environment...We focus on immediate needs and

problems, and are trapped by the illusion that what is most tangible is most real. We’ve been conditioned for

thousands of years to identify with our family, our tribe, and our local social structures. A future that asks us to

overcome this conditioning...looks alien indeed."

Enthralled by the ImmediateBiological Programming – Cognitive Biases

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_bias https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

• A systematic pattern of deviation from the norm or rationality in judgment

• A "by-product" of human processing limitations

• Illogical inferences about other people and situations

• People create their own "subjective social reality" - dictate[s] behavior

• Lead to perceptual distortion, inaccurate judgment and illogical interpretation

However...

• Can lead to more effective actions in a given context

• Enable faster decisions – timeliness vs accuracy

54

Enthralled by the ImmediateBiological Programming – Cognitive Biases

http://www.businessinsider.com/cognitive-biases-that-affect-decisions-2015-8

Anchoring Bias – over-reliance on the first piece of information

Blindspot Bias – failing to recognize your own cognitive biases

Confirmation Bias – information that confirms our preconceptions

Ostrich Effect – ignore dangerous or “negative” information

Pro-Innovation Bias – over-valuing usefulness/under-valuing limitations

55

Enthralled by the ImmediateBiological Programming – Cognitive Biases – Rock, Paper, Scissors

http://mentalfloss.com/us/go/77260

“...most humans have a tendency to make moves that are irrational, unconscious, and to some degree, predictable.”

56

Enthralled by the ImmediateBiological Programming – Dunbar's Number

Dunbar's number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. These are relationships in which an individual knows who each person is and how each person relates to every other person. Numbers larger than this generally require more restrictive rules, laws, and enforced norms to maintain a stable, cohesive group.

● Species-specific index of social group size (mean neocortical volume)● Correlation from non-human primates to predict human group size● Human "mean group size" of 148 (regression equation)● Large error measure (a 95% confidence interval of 100 to 230)

● Hunter-gatherer groups● Small – bands – 30-50 people● Medium – groups – 100-200 people● Large – tribes – 500-2,500 people

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar's_number

57

Enthralled by the ImmediateBiological Programming – Dunbar's Number – W.L. Gore

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._L._Gore_and_Associates

● Gore is a team-based, flat lattice organization that fosters personal initiative. There are no traditional organizational charts, no chains of command, nor predetermined channels of communication.

● Gore is one of the 200 largest privately held U.S. companies● 2014 was the 3rd consecutive year for World’s Best Multinational Workplaces ● For the 18th consecutive year, Gore earned a position on the FORTUNE 100

Best Companies to Work For® list in 2015. Gore ranked 17th overall. ● Gore has also been named one of the best workplaces in France, Germany,

Italy, Korea, Sweden, and the UK. And in 2013, for the first time, Gore was named one of the best workplaces in China.

● More than 35 million innovative Gore Medical Devices have been implanted, saving and improving the quality of lives worldwide.

● Gore has been granted more than 2,000 patents worldwide in a wide range of fields

● Virtually all of Gore's products are based on just one material, a versatile polymer called ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene)

● $3 billion in annual sales and more than 10,000 associates worldwide, the company is owned by members of the Gore family and associates. Gore prefers this private ownership and believes this reinforces a key element of its culture to “take a long term view” when assessing business situations.

10,000 associates / 50 locations = 200 per location

As an example, the Healthcare system‘s value is $4,270B. It carries an estimated inefficiency of 42%. From that level of 42% inefficiency, economists estimate that ~34% can be eliminated (= 34% x 42%).

Going ForwardEnthralled by the immediate

“...we fail to see the systemic issues because we define urgency by what is immediate. We are victims of a self-reinforcing crisis of perception – a crisis of our own making. If it persists, we doom ourselves to continued passivity.

Only catastrophe will compel action, which, given the growing social divide that distributes problems like global warming unevenly between rich and poor, is likely to manifest as social and political disruption – not unlike what we are already seeing around the world.

...nothing short of a profound shift in the Western, materialistic worldview is likely to dislodge this crisis of perception.”
