Discussions with Jerome C. Glenn Co-Founder The Millennium Project

At the Digital Media City event in Seoul, Dr. Jerome Glenn and myself were speakers. I had the pleasure to have some deep discussions about the future of technology and learning over dinner with Dr. Jerome. He is an incredible future visionary, and was simply amazing to be with.

About the university, Jerome said that we will discover more complex uses for the university. The university can be anywhere and everywhere using the internet. Lectures can be done anywhere over the internet. Instead the campus can be used for group tasks and perhaps a site for venture funds and venture companies working with students. We will find new and more complex uses for the campus.

Jerome said we should instead of focusing on putting more content into the brain we should focus on the main point which is increasing intelligence. 

We also had interesting discussions about swarm intelligence. Jerome said that the reason humans swarm to cities may be that we are on one step to leaving the planet – since we must leave to survive as eventually the sun will burn up the planet.

“Third Industrial Revolution” that will change the way we work and live in the 21st century. In the coming era hundreds of millions of people will produce their own green in their homes, offices, and factories, and share it with each other using an “energy Internet,” just like we now create and share information online.

The Third Industrial Revolution infrastructure will create thousands of businesses and millions of jobs. This revolution will usher in a new economic age which will bring with it a fundamental reordering of human relationships; from hierarchical to lateral power.

What is here to stay: The Second Law of Thermodynamics

posted in: Uncategorized |

The first law of thermodynamics states that all energy in the universe is constant, that it cannot be created or destroyed; only its form can change. The second law states
that energy can only be changed in one direction, that is, from usable to unusable, from available to unavailable, or from ordered to disordered.

Entropy is the measure of the extent to which available energy in any subsystem of the universe is transformed into an unavailable form.

Accumulation of entropic debt will eventually collapse whatever economic regime is harnessing the resources.
