Please read Pt.1 and Pt.2
If you are on a sinking ship what do you do ?!?
You build an Ark !?!
What is an Ark ?!?
An Ark is an ensemble.
An ensemble is a collection of knowledge, instrumentality, skills, and resources which together generate a synergy, it makes something larger possible.
This is the key, and I will repeat it many times.
An Ark is an ensemble with the goal of trying to make sure humanity has a future.
The oldest ensemble of humanity is neolithic civilization.
The wisdom of this ensemble is contained in The sacred law of survival of aboriginal peoples of earth: shelter, water, fire, food, and others.
Without shelter you can die in hours from exposure.
Without water you can die in days of dehydration.
Without fire most food is marginally assimilable to unassimilable, and you can die from malnutrition.
Without food you can die in weeks from starvation.
Without others you will die in years from loneliness and insanity.
Without others you can not be fully human and humanity does not exist, humanity is a collection of others.
Humans are social animals and civilization as we know it requires others to form ensembles.
An ensemble is a collection of knowledge, instrumentality, skills, and resources which together generate a synergy, it makes something larger possible.
All of the game of humanities future exists in ensembles. The ensembles we are interested in are generated out of the humans present in any given location. These ensembles will confer adaptive vigor on those groups as the civilization they are embedded in degenerates around them.
What follows will be the beginning of a five part conversation concerning the future of humanity within global environmental catastrophea.
