Vision

What will be the humanity's future?

Some of us see it as dark and hopeless. Others avoid this question and aim to be "successful" now.

The holotopia is a realizable vision of a future that is profoundly better than our present.

The holotopia vision is made concrete in terms of five insights, which by showing how pivotal aspects of our social existence can be revolutionized, establish an analogy with a historical comprehensive change:

  • innovation (analogy with Industrial Revolution)
  • communication (analogy with Copernican Revolution)
  • epistemology (analogy with Enlightenment)
  • method (analogy with Scientific Revolution)
  • values (analogy with Renaissance)

Strategy

The holotopia strategy is to focus our efforts on comprehensive and positive change.

The five insights show why such change may be easy—even when smaller and obviously necessary changes may be impossible.


Mission

What action may have the power to set in motion a sweeping wave of positive change?

At the core of holotopia is a discovery, made repeatedly in 20th century science and philosophy, but not yet corrected: That along the way in which we got modernized, a fundamental error has been made.

Our mission is to correct this error.

We implement this mission in two steps.

Step One: Institutionalizing knowledge federation


The first step is to institutionalize knowledge federation as an academic field.
