HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVES ON THE INDUSTRIAL AND INFORMATION REVOLUTION-2014

The Industrial and Information Revolutions would have had much less detrimental impacts on our planet if these three indices had been held in higher regard. First, our society and planet would have been much better off if we used holistic planning methods to look at the broad multidimensional structure and functioning of our society from an ecological, geographical perspective. Second, instead of making money, the consideration of Ecological Value, energy, and benefit creation in a broad index form should have been the first consideration with emphasis on the creation of as much value, energy, and benefits striving to create as much benefit on the totality of our environment. This relatively weighted continuum indicator strives to measure a broad cumulative ecological and environmental impact on our environment and society. Benefiting the environment includes individuals, families, communities, regions, our natural environment, our life support systems, and planet Earth itself. Third, a well-intentionedness index should have been created, a broad cumulatively relatively weighted indicator that strives to measure the totality of an organization’s well-intentionedness. This indicator alone would function as an incentive to strive to end all detrimental impacting behaviors on planet Earth that contribute to individual, societal, or environmental destruction, illness, and suffering in a cumulative, relatively weighted way. It would also prevent extreme ultra-competitive behaviors. Only then should we consider some well-defined money or profit, but it should always be relative to those first indicators. Profit should or could be used as reinvestment into the creation of more beneficially functioning organizational behaviors, paying dividends to holistic, well-intentioned investors who primarily consider the first three indicators in their research of an E.N.O. Logically and rationally more “business” will be conducted with those that function with these four principles and indices primarily. Likewise, more E.E.C. will flow to people and other organizations as well. The world would be better if something like this occurred before any revolution. Let’s eliminate the “r” in revolution because evolution has much less impact.
