Dear Leslaw:

(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I below), in response to the Reference (a) above.

(2) My wholehearted congratulations for the publication of your paper in the Club Rome journal (Reference (b) above) -- I re-read it with great interest, though I once read it before when you sent it to me on August 23, 2011.

(3)
Many thanks for your mentioning our Global Early Warning System (GEWS) project, which new current name is Global Knowledge Centers Network (GKCN) (Reference (c) above.

I also thank you for your quoting my old paper (Reference (d) above).

(4) I sincerely agree with your vision of "The World Information System for Sustainable Development Policy and Economy," building (by backcasting) information bases of sustainable development policy and economy, including global early warning system in distributed simulation mode.  As you say, without such world information system it is impossible to up-date and realize UN world society sustainable development strategy.

I particularly like your idea of “ecohumanistic.”

As you see in the Reference (d) above, our GKCN will work toward meeting with such a need.

(5) I would be very happy if you would work on the creation of GKCN/Poland, which will be interlinked with other countries later as creating the electronic United Nations at its ultimate stage.

Keep in touch,

Best, Tak

SOME ANTI-CRISIS PROPOSALS

World is in the global crisis. It is the result of a big XXth century’ science-technology development without adjustment of social relations, including economics, to such new life-conditions (level of technology development, state of environment, accessibility of resources, and so on). Together with it world society have crossed, in pathological way, two main limits to growth: inertial and environmental. To create sustainable development of the world society it is necessary to get skill of elimination in pre emptive way of negative effects of inevitable moral (obsolete, outmoded) destruction of up to date proper forms of life (axiology, technology, economics, and so on) but not yet adequate to new life conditions.

For this end we inter alia need:
1.   To get skill of forecasting and measure of complex effects of human activity and other changes in life–conditions.
2.   To get skill of accumulating intellectual and material reserves, and big flexibility, for avoiding catastrophes not predicted properly.
3.   To combine economic growth with real quality of life growth.
4.   To combine access to wealth with ecosocially useful – especially science and innovative -  creative activity of mature subjects of socio-economic life.
5.   To substitute egoistic axiology for ecohumanistic one.

Ecohumanism means partnership-based cooperation for the common good/win-win of all people (rich and poor, from countries highly developed and behind in development), their descendants, and natural environment - commonly supported by science and high technology, as well as information culture

            Intensity of moral (obsolete, outmoded) destruction is growing up with science-technology development, that is essential for elimination of moral destruction negative effects.

To eliminate negative effects of such moral destruction we have to generate big ecosocial useful intellectual creative activity.

To achieve sustainable development of the world society it is especially necessary to change - in backcasting way - world monetary system.

I propose such long-term strategy vision of above system:
To stimulate economic activity we ought to substitute current inflation way of supporting market demand for “ecosocial useful deflation” way.
It ought to allow not to spend moneys on superfluous, ecosocially cost consumption.
The moneys saved would be used by new form of banks for credit ecosocially useful innovations. As a result, the market demand would be created by means of more ecosocially useful products of new generation.
In such new - sustainable development supporting – economy, wealth of any individual or collective subject would combine their wealth with effects of elimination moral destruction negative effects.
It would be quite new ecosocial justice principle.
