The Urgent Creation of the All-World Intellectual Web Resource

Background

1. All human civilization had been created owing the
brainwork of those who are now called intelligentsia, intelligent people. Just
because of it, they might consider as their historical mission to elaborate the
strategy of existence and development of the humankind, the strategy what might
minimize threats of civilization's extermination and self-extermination, being
corrected then "in course of the life".

2. Cybernetic principle of the
effective control being applied to whole humankind as a controlled system quite
admits a controlling system on the level of a global union of intelligent
people.


3.
Creation of such the World Intellect, or Global Mind, being considered in the framework of
"organism--social organism", "brain--social brain"
parallelism, is in correspondence as well with a through process of
cephalization at the filogenetic development of animals, manifesting in head's
isolation and head brain's forming.


4.
People have brains realizing their thinking, behavior, planning the future. States have for similar goals
social brains, i.e. governments. Till now, there is nothing like on the level
of whole humankind. Our civilization, as if being brainless, is living in
millennia "how it is turned out", with no concordance with any
strategic ideas or plans. Not surprising that so many negative events had
happened already and will happen and so many threats are overhanging us till
now.

5. More than 20 centuries ago
ancient Roman dramatist Tytus Plavt proclaimed: "All clever people should
be in mutual relations". Then, it had been good wish only. Now, the global
intellect, owing Internet and other communication facilities, appears more and
more realized.



The idea's topicality

1.
Till middle 20th century, to propose an idea on global intellect’s creation would be premature, as, first, there were not threats of existence for whole human race before then, i.e. there was no
necessity to mobilize all intellectual forces of the planet; second, there was
no information and technical base for such the intellectual integration.


2.
Intervals between early 20th and early 21st centuries catastrophic events (World War I, World War II, Chernobyl, World Trade Centre) were 23, 41, 15 years. It means the idea on global
intellect's creation maybe will appear belated via some decades. It is why, first, that fatal errors probabilities and a global scale of their sequels are raising together with the civilization's military and energy potentials;
second, the terrorism is getting more and more global phenomenon.


Possible course of the idea's realization

1.
There turns up an authoritative scientist/philosopher/public or state figure, who realizes the responsibility
for civilization survival of those who are living now for the next generations,
and in such degree as for to be an initiator of whole process.


2.
The initiator comes out with an Appeal to intelligentsia, international organizations, businessmen, systems and networking programmers, calling them to unite efforts before threats of the very civilization existence and increasing mass of not-decided civilization problems.

3.
After wide discussion in media some TNCs appear, leadership of which have counted that to open better
perspectives for humankind is a way to secure more their own business, moreover that participation in a project of such scale and meaning is likely to have a commercial profit at present already. Creation of Global Web Resource for Globally Thinking People is getting then a mighty commercial project.


4.
Having involved experts and advisors -- own and invited, -- TNCs have organized the governing core of the
project, giving them a freedom of further personal casting. However this process won't ruin TNCs, since one may be sure that many representatives of intelligentsia will count for themselves as an affair of prestige to take a part in "the Project for 3rd millennium" as volunteers.


5.
The first generation of the project's designers, doing the list of global problems to be decided, shouldn't
miss problems of technique character as well:

A.
Wars and war conflicts may be considered as after-effects of people's inability to negotiate and find
balances of the negotiating sides' interests. A problem: how to optimize the regalement of negotiations after effectiveness and comfort, at whatever different directed were sides' interests?


B.
Till now, scientists of humanities know a little about interests, opinions, ideas of people living on
Earth. A problem: how to organize and realize all-world wide Internet interrogations (referendums) on problems being of vital importance for the most people, including those currently arising ones?


C.
Creative processes used to proceed apart; thinking people show egocentrism, "encycledness" on
their own ideas. It is why, in particular, intelligent people dislike "to gather into a big herd", preferring to belong to any elitist "clusters". A problem: to organize and to promote the intellectual forum of civilization as
that to be attractive for the most part of intelligentsia. Reason of it is that detailed and dynamic complexities of problems' complex, as well as their "zeitnotlich" character, need the full mobilization of intellectual forces.


D.
When anthropologists say with sureness that an Australopithecus might successively learn at Cambridge, it is easy to conclude that there was no selection among human tribes by the mind in last tens of millennia. It is so because otherwise we should admit that in the production of the human race cleverer individuals had more advantages than stronger, more aggressive and more sexual attractive ones.
In other words, human beings with their minds dropped behind of the civilization, though having been created by human beings. So, we can propose all calamities of human civilization are situated into human heads. A problem: how to re-build education system so that final-year pupils and students correspond after quality of thinking to scale and character of changes, having happened in the world in last century?

E.
Aggressiveness, as a human property, is in correlation with the evolution
backwardness of human
mentality what may be called as
shortage of panoramic thinking (SPT). The more overcome SPT the more brought down aggressiveness. Of course, pacification in human community, it is good, but psychologists connect with aggressiveness the very creative human potential. A problem: to elucidate, whether a community of panoramic thinking people will lose stimuli to create, and they will get unarmed against those aggressive ones?

F.
Creation of the civilization of higher secure is the hardest process demanding intellectual efforts of some
human generations. But because of threats are near and real necessary some decades maybe will not be "given" to the project's participants. The only this won't allow them to ignore the eternal dream of people about
happiness. A problem: how, at first in human history, to call and to organize the all-planetary forum "Towards Happy Life on Earth", Internet one, of course? Having got popular, it will turn out into fundamental sociologic
base for the designers-sociologists, giving them new directions of research and so necessary still period of conciliation for to cope with threatening global problems.
