A holographic approach to government: what does that mean?

TraineeHuman · 09-24-2009, 05:14 AM

In his presentation at the conference, Alex Collier strongly implied our planet needs to change to a “holographic” type of social order, rather than the existing “hierarchical” one (which I would say has become almost feudal, or threatens to become so in the future). It isn’t easy to work out what “holographic” concretely means here. Does anybody have any ideas?

And how does this combine with having a society guided by mentoring from benevolent aliens?

In her also outstandingly good presentation, Marcia Schafer emphasized we need to practice listening to the ordinary people around us and then finding a way to talk about such things in their language. So how might we start doing that on this particular topic?

One idea that comes to mind for me is that maybe a hologram works kind of like a blueprint. And architects and builders already use blueprints, so maybe the way they conduct projects is similar to the way "government" should work in the future? Of course, "government" may no longer be exactly the right term at some future point?

What I like best about this Forum is that other people's viewpoints so often enable me to see things in a new way. So I'd welcome any wild or considered snatches of inspiration or comment or intuition.
