Bateson's philosophy proposes a way of describing the global crisis – and the manner in which it came about – in a way that reveals opportunities for non-adversarial actions which could prove more effective in healing the underlying source of the problem than the many efforts at controlling the symptoms currently underway.
This optimistic-sounding premise is based on a simple model of the self-organising pattern-recognition process immanent in every living system, including the unconscious part of those human beings whose behaviour other groups want to change, which is presented in the Global Vision Planning Manual on this web site. This model permits a Cybernetic description of societal evolution which leads to a realisation which may seem naïve until one understands the reason for it: namely, that individual common sense is now the largest untapped resource on the planet! The real naïveté, however, is to imagine that our existing adversarial modes of political action are going to be able to solve our crisis for us. Rather than attempting to control the symptoms of the world problematique in a piecemeal and adversarial way, it will be far more effective, less costly, and more fun to empower people to see for themselves what they can do to make a difference, to be the change.
The challenge is to be more mindful of some of the hidden effects of our own perceptions, words, and actions as they travel around the global synergetic geometry of communication circuits within the larger system of which we are all a part. Bateson expressed the hope that by becoming more conscious of such connectivity, new information can emerge, and the larger system will, in fact, change subtly. As he put it:
"There is something called learning at a rather small level of organisation.
At a much higher gestalt level, learning is called evolution".
