The name of this presentation is Visualizing a Systems Approach.

This is a single aspect regarding the direction advocated by The Zeitgeist Movement.

In an event to me it's a key factor understanding human decision making

and problem solving beyond this publical sphere.

As we go through the materials we offer reference,

you come across in many terms and phrases that sounds impressive and fun to say,

some examples of this would be the resource-based economic model,

technological unemployment, dynamic equilibrium,

the scientific method for social concern, a systems approach resource management,

along with many others.

Spending a lot of time in the movement, speaking about the root causes that persist on problems,

of the social operation of the planet,

specially regarding the monotonous negative outcome

such as crime, poverty, war, polution, death, another forms of corruption.

Well, it is logical to understand the problems first,

we can sometimes miss the focus on aspects of the solutions we propose,

even know that there is plenty of information available.

At the foundation of what the movement advocates,

it's a global movement which can be turned a resource based economy.

Maybe none to many of us, by the work of The Venus Project, in Venus, Florida,

a resource-based economic model is a social structure,

that is global on its operation, based entirely on the earths resources

as the starting point for the society to decision making.

Where all goods and services are available,

without the use of currency, credit, market, or any form of debt or servitude.

Also, should be an industrial operations are arranged on what we call a systems approach,

which logically treats the planet earth as a single system that is happens to be.

We also advocate the application of technology

to the automation of labour of free humanity from maintaining arbitrary occupation rules,

which have no such relevance for social well beign, and, at the end of the day,

we want to encourage new value and incentive system through this social design,

which maintains a focus on attributes such as community,

human well being, regular education, social awareness, and creativity.

That is as far we go into the overall direction

since it's far too much information we shared with you tonight.

Instead, i wished to spend a few minutes visualizing a core attribute in this model

to give you some work understanding one piece of the technical jargon.

The attribute of focus in this presentation will be a systems approach.

Our relationship to the earth and the enviroments we are living

is not a political issue, or a religious ideal.

It is a technical relationship,

separated a living organism from its surroundings

and will die from a lack of oxygen, water and food.

Organisms are open systems that can not survive

without continuously extending matter energy with their environment.

Since we observe systems interacting with each other,

it's part of a whole, it is in a logical unified system with the biosphere

and which we are on happy with

Systems then can be defined as an approach of problems solving.

by viewing problems is part of the overall

rather than reacting problem isolated

unrelated phenomenal from a larger order.

When taking it separated, such patchworks may development of unintended consequences,

such as trying to resolve problems from the monetary inflation with more inflation,

or trying to fate the destruction of the rain forests

or the increase of plastic waste on our ocean by more laws and legislation,

rather than addressing the causes of the behaviour to begin with.

Systems thinking is not one thing,

but such of habits or practices within the framework that is based on the principle

that a component part of a system are best understood in context of relationships,

rather than from isolation from one another.

So, this present has an attribute that is often mentioned, which is a systems approach.

A systems approach to the resources management on the planet is comprised of realtime data and statistics.

This approach can bind with the attribute of peak efficiency,

so the peak of preservation and conservation

becoming necessary components to what we call as sustainable society.

The process of unfolding, which you may call decision making,

is based on natural law in reason,

not on political ideologies, or religious notions, or groups oppinion.

When using a systems approach we arriving in decisions as supposed to make in them.

Making a decision is a subjective act often based on incomplete information or affected by these cultural bias.

Our goal is to remove the basis of ones oppinion as best we can,

by using the most optimal knowledge we have,

to align with natural processes, to the best of our habilities at a giving time.

This is an emergent process, because the body of knowledge of human understanding changes over time is

news covering amaze, to a no final frontier.

So, human management of the environment equilibrium of this planet

which is an initial variable how well society functions,

comes first from understand what the carrying capacity of the earth actually is.

It follows that the needs of the human population

must be in balance with the resources of the earth or negative outcomes occur.

So, what were we start?

What is the first step to determine the carrying capacity of the earth?

Well, as worse as systems approach comes in.

A logical start would be with full survey with the earth resources,

such we must know we have to work with in order to arrive in any decisions.

There are many natural resources to be considered, such as forests, and oceans, and energy,

along with arable land, and water, and minerals,

but for the sake of simplicity, let's for first these components of these natural resources.

If anyone is carrying think out has any sense,

but how even be possible to create this kind of global system,

or perhaps you might be thinking that the technological know how,

for such a comprehensive survey be too futuristic.

Well, this point i would like to make the use of few visual examples

of current the real world technical systems that are working in this regard right now.

This is an accurate visualization of many current informer nasa earth observing satelites.

With names like Trum, Landsat7, Terra, Io1, Jason2, Grace, Isat and Aquarius,

these one man proves quitely being down information

that was transforming to understanding of how the earth works.

And what we know about the human fingerprint on the climate?

Together, they represent an application of technology in realtime,

working this part of this globe surveying system,

not something like Star Trek, not something a hundred years away, but orbiting the planet right now.

Let's look at the closer example.

The satellite Aquarius is designed to take comprehensive salinity measurements of our oceans,

and they are entirelly every week.

The data obtained from these measurements

how being such comprehesive questions about climate change.

Why salinity? When the density of the ocean waters determined from its salinity and from misleading temperature.

Density of the ocean water drives the patterns of the deep ocean currents,

and ocean currents drives global change.

In recent decades, scientists have seen there are ocean salinity have shifted

in ways which only climate changes seems to be able to explain.

For four hundred miles above the surface of the earth,

Aquarius can attempt to detect differences on ocean salinity

to even a pinch of salt in a gallon of water.

With this visualization we were seeing an example of current technology

being applied by methods of sciences

for environmental and, ultimatelly, social concern.

The collection of all of this data can be used for understanding our environment,

or even predicting possible outcomes.

In this example, what you're seeing is not photographed from space.

Every pixel from is calculated by the geos5 super computer.

This supercomputer can accuratelly model and simulate

the earth's atmosphere conditions for short periods of time.

In this example, this model is giving data leading up into February second 2010,

and then, it preceeded to predict the atmosphere's response

for the next twenty days without any further input.

This model simulated the real world weather events that actually took place,

including snow strorms, couple of cyclones, and other climatic conditions.

Continuing these examples, the Terra and Acqua satellites, gather data of the earth surface every two days.

This animation shows were the world's food is grown versus where the world's food is consumed.

The movie starts with the global problems that faces to the countries

are producing either 80% of the world's weed, grain and cereal.

And then overlays to the world's population density

and then double and triple their populations by the year 2050.

There also exists a mineral resource datasystem, which is a statistical survey done by the USGeos.

This is United States geological survey.

The map, this map is a collection of reports

subscribing the mineral resources through the United States.

The survey actually expands out for the entire globe,

but this map just chooses an example purpose for this presentation.

This is an example of the information that would be part of the so called geodatabase, if you will.

Integrating the dataset into a global knowledge base

of our resource management system as a function of a systems approach we have being exploring.

Another example of visualizing systems approach,

in action, is viewing compiled data from our global resource system.

Here, a member of the google earth community, assembled this image from the CIA world factbook,

showing the world oil consumption for the year 2007.

This chart displays a exploring 3d graphs in the shape of each country,

showing the relationship of the oil consumption between countries.

Here, the United States is showing a tremendous consumption of about 21 million of barrels per day,

which is almost 25% of the earth total of the 80 million of oil barrels consumed worldwide,

that's daily, 80 million barrels, a day.

So, how would you possible interact with such a system that meants data?

We are following the evolution of the tax space search engines that we are all familiar with today,

we would interact with this vast knowledge database via computerized AI systems.

In an example of a computational knowledge of engineerying in generality exists, is Wolfram Alpha.

This engine generates output by doing computations from its own internal knowledge base

in set on searching the internet and returning you links.

In a resource based system that we advocate,

such a concept can be easily scaled out to include the immensum database

that is currently collected in both public and private sectors in the world today.

Along with many free information in data products out there via the internet,

one could well ponder that question that if a lower cooperation from our technology friends

could be actually have a path to lead forward and move in such direction? Well, who knows?

And maybe the world is simply waiting for people enough who want to do so.

The point is, threre are many real world working examples

to show such collaborative social system is technically reality and not in someday phenomenal.

And going to conclude here, with this artistic representation of the system

is visualized by industrial designing social engineering,

Jacque Fresco, from The Venus Project,

who spent more than seventy years of his life researching such a direction.

I hope this presentation is helping you to understand

how these system approaches to resources management could work,

how we can approach problem solving beyond the spheres of politics,

how we can arrive in decisions via science rather than human oppinion or majority vote.

And how current technology can be applied to make such a resource based system a reality.
