摘要

金钱-信息是现代社会中一种强有力的交流方式。它的进化与文明本身的进化是平行的。事实上,如果没有货币信息提供的简化,现代市场社会就不可能存在于它们所表现出的复杂性水平上。因此,现代文明的可持续性在很大程度上取决于货币信息的不断发展,取决于越来越多的人对货币信息的理解。本文讨论了货币信息在其进化的背景下,因为它有助于推进人类认知和引入更高层次的人类系统。这篇论文断言,以货币信息为基础的市场社会提供了最好的可持续性机会,因为它们是相对较新的出现,简化了人类对现代社会内部和之间日益复杂的相互作用的看法。现代以货币为基础的社会是社会决策子系统从自上而下向自下而上控制的长期演变的结果。为了使这种进化继续下去,组成社会的个体必须理解更多的社会复杂性,以便做出实际上能够维持文明而不是破坏文明的决定。系统概念和在系统框架中发展起来的知识工具,为教育个人理解维持而不是摧毁现代文明所需的复杂性提供了最好的希望。

Modern money-information, a sustainable civilization and systems pedagogy
Money-information is a powerful form of communication in modern societies. Its evolution parallels that of civilization itself. In fact, modern market-based societies could not exist at the level of complexity they exhibit without the simplifications provided by money-information. The sustainability of modern civilization, consequently, depends in no small degree upon the continuing evolution of money-information and upon an understanding of it by an increasingly greater portion of the human population. This paper discusses money-information in the context of its evolution as it contributed to advancing human cognition and to introducing higher-level human systems. The paper asserts that money-information-based market societies offer the best chance of sustainability because they are relatively recent emergents that simplify human perceptions of the evermore complex interactions within and among modern societies. Modern money-based societies are the result of a long evolution away from top-down toward bottom-up control of societal decider subsystems. For that evolution to continue, individual humans composing societies must comprehend more societal complexity in order to make decisions that, in fact, sustain civilization instead of those that destroy it. Systems concepts and the knowledge tools developed in the systems framework offer the best hope of educating individual humans to comprehend the complexity needed to sustain rather than destroy modern civilization.
