Holotopia
Instead of pasting in what we have on Debategraph, we here provide a fresh rehash and summary; the two texts should be federated
Unlike the common utopias, holotopia is fully realizable; and yet it is a more attractive vision than the utopias tend to be (their authors lacked the data to see what was really possible; or lived in a time when the resources we have today were not available).
As a project, Holotopia undertakes to facilitate the pursuit and the realization of that vision.
What makes holotopia possible is a paradox:
Comprehensive change can be easy – even when partial changes may seem impossible!
Holotopia’s vision is a comprehensive and harmonious change of our entire societal order of things – to a whole new order. The Renaissance (or Enlightenment) is a historical precedent.
A single axiom
Holotopia follows from a single principle, axiom or rule of thumb – that knowledge must be listened to and used. Or as we like to phrase it
Knowledge must be federated
Just as the case was in Galilei's time – as soon as we liberate ourselves from renegade socialization which is once again keeping our minds and our evolution in 'house arrest', and begin to heed to knowledge of knowledge – a new approach to knowledge is ready to emerge, and lead to comprehensive change. We call that emerging paradigm in knowledge work holoscope
A single value
By federating knowledge, we arrive at a single value – wholeness.
Wholeness it as the quality that distinguishes a well-functioning mechanism and a healthy and thriving human being.
Five reversals
Holotopia
- Thoroughly changes the mood of our engagement with contemporary challenges – from denial or angst, to optimism and extreme opportunity
- Handles causes not only symptoms
- Focuses on comprehensive change (as the easy way) instead of problems
- Substitutes knowledge for socialization
- Turns complexity into extreme simplicity (but doesn't compromise veracity and meaning)

- The five insights we've found sufficient to bring across the overarching insight that hologopia stands for – that a comprehensive change might be easy; and that an Enlightenment-like development is ready to take place.
