A mathematical theory coupled with the tenets of cybernetics, general systems theory and information theory depicts us as having not only no social system but not even a collection of systems. Special emphasis on the means to avoid bias and misinformation is explained. Specific key trends in social evolution are shown. Key concepts to gauge the success of experiments are explored. A concrete statistical definition of democracy is offered. A potential development plan for an experiment is shared.
With money tight, health care missing or misapplied, services cut, freedoms lessening, climate changing, starvation increasing, war, who is to say we have civilization? Great challenges face us all now. The path to any possible viable system is through science. Our growing abilities, population and one shared biosphere suggests we either find viable society or we perish.
Attendance costs $5 for the two hour session. The first hour is dedicated to the presentation of "Got Society?" and the second hour is dedicated to setting up the agenda of Group Genius meetup members. WIFI access is available so bring your laptop if you want. No caffeine rooibos tea, coffee, juice, cookies and pumpkin pie will be free to attendees.
