Once again, I have neglected this blog while focusing intently on reading and writing about the rise of noosphere, noopolitik, and information-age statecraft since early 2018. Now that our full report has been published — Whose Story Wins (RAND, 2020) — and a spin-off article is out for review and possible placement (see prior two posts), I mean to go back, with a sigh of relief, to focusing on TIMN theory (quadriformism) and prospects for the emergence of a fourth (commons) sector to bring next-stage progress to our society.
Taking a fresh look at this blog, I spot some earlier drafts of our noopolitik study. So I am deleting them here (as well as at SSRN.com and ResearchGate.com). If somehow you visit here looking for them, go look at the final booklet and recent article version instead. They are much better than the earlier drafts.
I also find some sketchy old drafts of posts I’d meant to finish months ago: one about Trump’s psyche; another about recent papers (Bowles & Carlin, 2020; Scharmer, 2020; Mintzberg et. al., 2018) that call for three-sector approaches to resolving America’s problems; and another draft or two about proposals for pursuing a four-sector approach along TIMN lines (Harold Jarche, 2019; Tim Morgan, 2020). I truly welcome the interest and insight coming from Jarche and Morgan, and recommend following their work.
I am finding it difficult to shift from thinking and writing so much about the noosphere and noopolitik, to getting back up to speed at thinking and writing mostly about the TIMN framework and its implications. But, the shift is underway.
Somewhere along the way the STAC framework about people’s space-time-agency cognitions begs for renewed attention too. Yet it, as well as TIMN, did receive a bit in the writings about the noosphere and noopolitik. See, everything I am trying to do is interrelated.
