Direct naar de conclusie druk hier.

In deze blog laat ik wederom zien dat de Nederlandse politiek last heeft van de Nederlandse Cultuur.

Een fenomeen wat zich al sinds de vorming van de Nederlandse Staten en de op- en opgang van de Oranjes herhaalt met als voorbeeld de analyse van Kees Boeke over de periode 1930- 1945.

De diepere oorzaak is dat Nederland een zakelijk Competitief Calvinistisch (dus kapitalistisch en daarmee asociaal) land is met subtiele regionale verschillen.

1. Wat zit er achter de Rellen?

Ik ben aan het luisteren naar het debat van de 2e kamer over de rellen in Amsterdam m.b.t. de wedstrijd Ajax<->Maccabi Tel Aviv , waarbij er sprake was van het molesteren van joodse fans door jongeren, die consequent als Islamitisch of Marokkaans worden getypeerd, waarbij er heel veel oud zeer weer wordt opgehaald door de PVV en de VVD wat ook al door Pim Fortuyn of Ayaan Hirsi Ali te berde werd gebracht zonder nu eens te achterhalen wat er echt aan de hand is.

Wat zet jongeren aan tot agressief gedrag?

Abdessamad Bouabid suggereert in zijn proefschrift dat het agressieve gedrag van sommige Marokkaans-Nederlandse jongeren niet uitsluitend door cultuur is ingegeven, maar dat ook sociale factoren een grote rol spelen, zoals:

Stigmatisering en uitsluiting: Het negatieve publieke beeld en het gevoel uitgesloten te worden kunnen bij jongeren gevoelens van frustratie en vervreemding oproepen, wat kan leiden tot agressief gedrag als een vorm van verzet.

Identiteitsconflict:

Veel jongeren ervaren een spanningsveld tussen hun Marokkaanse afkomst en hun Nederlandse identiteit. Dit identiteitsconflict kan leiden tot een zoektocht naar erkenning, waarbij sommigen agressie als een manier zien om respect of aandacht af te dwingen.

Negatieve maatschappelijke reacties:

Bouabid beschrijft hoe maatschappelijke en mediareacties rond de “Marokkanenpaniek” kunnen werken als een self-fulfilling prophecy. Jongeren die constant gestigmatiseerd worden, kunnen door deze maatschappelijke druk gaan voldoen aan de negatieve verwachtingen en daarmee hun eigenwaarde bevestigen via opstandigheid en agressief gedrag.

Groepsdruk en sociale dynamiek:

Binnen bepaalde vriendengroepen kan agressief gedrag worden versterkt door groepsdruk. Hier wordt agressie soms gebruikt om een groepsidentiteit op te bouwen als reactie tegen de maatschappij.

Politiek: Denk Voorbij de Economie

Ik heb al vaak een poging ondernomen om bijv. via Linked aandacht te vragen voor het gebruik van een politiek model waarin niet alleen de Economie een rol speelt maar vijf andere aspecten zoals

de kunst, de cultuur, de markt, de innovatie, en de politiek zelf een rol spelen zodat er wat meer genuanceerd wordt gesproken over de staat van de staat maar

helaas de discussies in het parlement blijven hangen in vinger wijzen en anderen de schuld geven zoals de Islam een stokpaardje van Wilders.

Als je kijkt naar het plaatje hieronder kun je ook zien waarom.

Calvinisme->Kapitalisme.

Nederland is een kapitalistisch land wat vast zit in het calvinisme van Gomarus uit de tijd van Prins Maurits.

De SGP is daar nog steeds een unieke representant van.De SGP baseert haar standpunten op dezelfde calvinistische traditie, met nadruk op de soevereiniteit van God, de centrale rol van de Bijbel, en de theologie van de Dordtse Leerregels (1619), waaraan Gomarus bijdroeg tijdens de Synode van Dordrecht.

Gedogen

Hier komt ook het schijnheilige gedogen vandaan.

Wat geld oplevert wordt altijd goed gepraat ook al is het in strijd met Gods Woord.

3. Wat is Cultuur?

De term Cultuur wordt vaak gedefinieerd als het geheel van normen, waarden, gedragingen, tradities, kennis, symbolen en gewoontes die een bepaalde groep mensen delen en doorgeven aan volgende generaties.

Als we deze door GPT4 geformuleerde definitie analyseren vinden we Normen (Regels), Waarden )van Waarderen), gedragingen (Actie) symbolen (Idee) en Groep wat laat zien dat cultuur alles omvattend is terwijl er wel degelijk een onderscheid wordt gemaakt.

Wat dan helpt is om naar cultuurmodellen te kijken zoals van Hofstede.

Cultuurmodellen lijken op persoonlijkheidsmodellen , maar richten zich op groeps- of nationale kenmerken in plaats van individuele eigenschappen. Ze beschrijven culturele verschillen aan de hand van vergelijkbare dimensies.

CultuurModellen lijken op Persoonlijkheidmodellen:

In deze blog gebruik ik het model van de antropoloog Alan Fiske wat perfect past op PoC wat weer past op de Interpersonal Theory (IP) wat ook past op de Archetypen van Jung.

Aantrekken – en Afstoten.

Het bijzonder is dat IP kan worden teruggebracht tot slechts 2 complementaire variabelen Agency (Sturend) en Communion (samenwerkend) die hij haalde uit de Electro-Magnetische theorie van Clerk Maxwell.

Mensen trekken elkaar aan en stoten elkaar af.

Dat geldt ook voor culturen.

IP: Inter Personal Theory

Het model van IP kan ook worden gebruikt om de Pathologie van de geestesziekten te beschrijven. Ze zijn te beschouwen als een eenzijdige focus op een aspect van de mens.

Alan Fiskes Relatie-Patronen geprojecteerd op IP:

Model van een Land of Stad gebaseerd op dezelfde variabelen.

Relatiepatronen toegepast op Culturen:

RelatietypenWesten IslamitischBoeddhistisch
Communal Sharing (CS)Sterk aanwezig (zorg voor gemeenschap, Zakat, etc.)Sterk aanwezig (zorg voor anderen, compassie)
Authority Ranking (AR)Minder nadruk, wel aanwezig (hiërarchie in sommige instellingen)Sterk aanwezig (respect voor autoriteit, ouderen, religieuze leiders)Sterk aanwezig (respect voor monniken, ouderen, leraren)
Equality Matching (EM)Sterk aanwezig (gelijkheid, democratie, rechten)Minder nadruk, maar wel in sociale structurenMinder nadruk, meer op compassie en harmonie dan strikte gelijkheid
Market Pricing (MP)Sterk aanwezig (markteconomie, competitieve uitwisselingen)Minder nadruk, hoewel economische ruil belangrijk isMinder nadruk, maar wel in commerciële relaties
Het verschil tussen West en Oost zit in het verschil tussen MP+EM (Liberaal Kapitalistisch) vs CS+AR (Conservatief Socialistisch).

Het universele relatie-model van Alan Fiske geprojecteerd op een productie-cyclus.de EM/CS vormt de Cultuur terwijl de AR/MP-relatie de Economie vormt.

Alan Fiske over Geweld.

Een AR-relatie is is geweldadig , omdat de regels (Normen) geweld legitimeren.

In het boek “Virtuous Violence” beargumenteren Alan Fiske en Tage Shakti Rai dat geweld vaak wordt gezien als een morele daad, die wordt gepleegd in dienst van het creëren, behouden, beëindigen of eren van sociale relaties.

De auteurs stellen dat geweld niet altijd eenvoudigweg een kwestie is van agressie of kwaad, maar dat het vaak wordt gedreven door een verlangen om geliefden te beschermensociale normen te handhaven of wangedrag te straffen.

4. Verschil Nederlandse <-> Marokkanse cultuur volgens GPT:

4.1. Familie en groepsoriëntatie (Persoonlijk <->Familie):

Nederlandse cultuur: Nederland is sterk individualistisch, wat betekent dat persoonlijke vrijheid en zelfontplooiing hoog worden gewaardeerd. Het gezin is belangrijk, maar individuen, waaronder kinderen, worden aangemoedigd om zelfstandig te worden.

Marokkaanse cultuur: Marokkaanse cultuur is over het algemeen collectivistisch, met een sterke nadruk op familiebanden en loyaliteit aan de familie. Beslissingen worden vaak gemaakt met de hele familie in gedachten, en er is meer afhankelijkheid binnen de familie, vooral tussen generaties​.

4.2. Religie en levensbeschouwing (Persoonlijk<->Collectief)

Nederlandse cultuur: Nederland kent een seculiere samenleving, waarin religie een minder prominente rol speelt in het dagelijks leven. Religieuze praktijken zijn vaak persoonlijk en nemen in het openbare leven een beperkte ruimte in.

Marokkaanse cultuur: In Marokko is de islam de dominante religie en speelt het een belangrijke rol in zowel het persoonlijke als het openbare leven. Veel dagelijkse handelingen, gebruiken en feestdagen, zoals de Ramadan, zijn nauw verbonden met de islam.

4.3. Communicatiestijl: Direct <->Indirect:

Nederlandse cultuur: Nederlanders staan bekend om hun directe communicatiestijl. Men waardeert openheid, eerlijkheid en duidelijkheid, ook als dit tot ongemakkelijke situaties kan leiden.

Marokkaanse cultuur: In de Marokkaanse cultuur wordt communicatie vaak indirecter gevoerd, waarbij men meer rekening houdt met beleefdheid en respect. Het vermijden van conflicten en het niet direct confronteren van anderen worden gewaardeerd om de sociale harmonie te bewaren​.

4.4. Rol van mannen en vrouwen (Gelijk<->Man):

Nederlandse cultuur: Nederland heeft een relatief egalitaire samenleving, waarin gendergelijkheid centraal staat. Zowel mannen als vrouwen hebben gelijke kansen op de arbeidsmarkt en in het onderwijs.

Marokkaanse cultuur: In traditionele Marokkaanse gezinnen zijn de rollen van mannen en vrouwen meer gescheiden. Mannen worden vaak gezien als de voornaamste kostwinners, terwijl vrouwen verantwoordelijk zijn voor het huishouden en de zorg voor kinderen. Dit verschilt echter sterk tussen stedelijke en landelijke gebieden en tussen generatie.

4.5. Tijd en punctualiteit (Afspraak<->Relatie):

Nederlandse cultuur: Tijd en punctualiteit worden in Nederland vaak strikt nageleefd. Afspraken en deadlines zijn belangrijk en op tijd komen wordt gezien als een teken van respect.

Marokkaanse cultuur: In Marokko is er vaak een meer ontspannen benadering van tijd. Flexibiliteit in afspraken is gebruikelijker, en de tijd wordt minder strikt georganiseerd, wat voortkomt uit een cultuur waarin relaties en sociale verbondenheid belangrijker worden geacht dan schema’s​.

4.6. Opvoeding en Onderwijs (Mening <->Gehoorzaamheid):

Nederlandse cultuur: Kinderen in Nederland worden aangemoedigd om hun eigen mening te vormen en zelfstandig te zijn. Ouders hechten veel waarde aan gelijkwaardigheid en participatie in gezinsbesluiten.

Marokkaanse cultuur: In de traditionele Marokkaanse cultuur wordt er vaak meer nadruk gelegd op gehoorzaamheid en respect voor ouderen. Ouders nemen over het algemeen de beslissingen voor hun kinderen, met een grotere focus op discipline en collectieve waarden​.

5. Conclusie

De Nedrlandse politiek ziet niet of wil niet zien dat haar retoriek zelfvervullend is.

Ze schept haar eigen werkelijkheid.

De Nederlandse cultuur en de islamitische cultuur zijn volledig complementair.

Nederland en vooral de Randstad is asociaal, individualistisch en competitief.

Door de constante boodschap dat vooral marokkaanse jongeren en daarbij vooral jongens niet deugen raken ze de weg kwijt en ontwikkelen hun eigen subcultuur.

Het overheidsbeleid gaat volledig voorbij aan deze situatie die heeft geleid tot een taboe om de werkelijke oorzaak te melden.

Jongeren moeten zich wringen in de mal die de politiek vooral gevoed door de SGP en de CU en daarvoor door het CDA heeft bedacht wat een echte Nederlander moet zijn.

Reviving the Magic of the Renaissance

J.Konstapel, Leiden, 13-6-2o24.

Humans create their outside Material world without understanding they express their inside outside to understand what they are trying to accomplish..

Magic

In the letter of 1947 Wolfgang Pauli writes to Carl Jung:that his “attention is focused strongly on the influence of archetypal concepts … on scientific definitions”and that he will demonstrate this with the dispute between Johannes Kepler and a hermetic alchemist of those days, Robert Fludd, which was”the collision between the magic-alchemistic and the (new in the 17th century) scientific way of thinking”.

Collision

Then he adds that this was”a collision that I believe recurs on a higher level in the unconscious of modern man”.

This is blog is about Magic and therefore about Psycho-Physics..

Warning: Experimenting with Magic is dangerous.

push here to go to the Conclusion.

push here to go to the Summary

This blog explores the resurgence of magic and mysticism from the Renaissance in modern times. It highlights how the Renaissance was not only a period of scientific and artistic advancements but also rich in magical thinking and practices.

1. Introduction

Mind

The Universe is totally unstructured.

The structures in the universe emerge from our own minds and can be explained by Psychology.

Magma

Magma is the undifferentiated, pre-logical reality that exists before our minds impose order and meaning through the frames of language and logic.

Religion

is an articulation of the experience of the Beauty of the Universe.

Playfull Creation

If we create our own reality is it possible to create what we want? Experiments show that this can oy be done with a playfull mentallity.

Everything is made out of Light

Introduction to the Practical Magic of Franz Bardon

want to read more about Magic push here.

Visualize

In these books you will learn that magic is only possible if you are able to visualize what you want to happen.

This blog explores an alternate Renaissance philosophy, one that might have flourished in our time if the bankers of Venice and Amsterdam together with the Italian and Dutch goverment hadn’t squashed the burgeoning ideas of Egyptian Alchemy.” put into the story of the Rosicrusian movement that originated in Africa.

Introduction to Hermetic Philosophy

The introduction of the Hermetic philosophy was blocked in the 17th century with a lot of violence by the rulers of Europe, the bankers of Venice and Amsterdam.

Gnosis

Around the 12th century the same happened.

The Gnosis was stopped with brutal violence.

From the beginning of of western religion the gnosis was blocked by the Rulers and their priests.

The simple reason is that rulers don’t like people that believe in their own experience.

This also blocks humans with abnormal (paranormal) capabalities like Solomo.

Picture of the Battle of Beziers
Why were the Cathars burned?

Catharism, a dualistic Christian movement, emerged in 12th-century Languedoc, France. Influenced by Manichaeism, Bogomilism, and Gnosticism, it opposed the Roman Catholic Church’s wealth and corruption.

The Cathars believed in two divine principles: a good God of the spiritual world and an evil force of the material world.

Their rejection of Catholic sacraments and unique rituals led to their persecution during the Albigensian Crusade and the Inquisition, nearly wiping out the movement.

Alchemy

The first part of this chapter introduces the great King Solomon who according tot he “Kebra Negast” was bewitched by the Queen of Sheba whose sun Menelik stole the Arc of the Covenant and brought it to Ethiopia.

Then we move from Solomo to Egypt the source of Alchemy that came out of West Africa with the religion of The Yoruba. This religion is now the biggest in the World.

In the next part we move to the England in the time of John Dee one of the biggest scientists of the Renaissance who hoped he had found the Key of Solomo by talking with Angels.

In the end of this blog I will show you why current science is becoming Magical.

the Sigil of Ameth

The Sigil of Ameth is a complex design composed of two circles, a central pentagram, three heptagons, and bears the names of angels alongside various appellations of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic God Yahweh.

It was used by John Dee in his communication with Angels.

The oldest source is the Sworn Book of Honorius probably a result of a conference of magicians around 1500. the older (jewish) source is related to King Solomon...

King Solomo

King Solomon’s figure is intertwined with tales of supernatural powers and knowledge in various traditions. While the Hebrew Bible doesn’t explicitly mention his magic, later interpretations credit him with extraordinary abilities, ranging from controlling demons to understanding animal languages. These stories stem from Judaic, Islamic, and occult traditions, often based on apocryphal texts

Kaballah

Jewish mysticism, particularly Kabbalah, delves into profound spiritual concepts using symbolism, esoteric teachings, and sacred geometry. It explores the infinite divine essence (Ein Sof), the creation through divine emanation (Sefirot), and the human role in spiritual ascent and cosmic repair (Tikkun Olam). Sacred geometry, including the Tree of Life, and the Hebrew alphabet imbued with numerical and symbolic values, play a significant role in Kabbalistic thought. These rich traditions offer a unique perspective on the divine, creation, and the human experience, but critical engagement is essential to fully grasp their complexities.

The Tetraktys of Pythagoras. (1+2+3+4=10).

The 22 letters of the Hebrew Alphabet are a combination of the Trinity (3) , the 7 (3+1+3)Planets and 12 (4x3) Signs of the Zodiac.

The Origin of Magic lies in Ancient Egypt

Egyptian Magic comes from the Yoruba in Punt

Punt is the Yoruba culture which is also called Vodou, Santeria, Candomblé.

All these version are mixed with local traditions and Katholic traditions.

Yoruba religion is practiced by 500 million people in the wordld.

Its devation method IFA looks like the I Ching.

The priest are called babalawo.

2. The World of John Dee

Gordiano Bruno

In 2010 I wrote about the Renaissance and especialy about Gordiano Bruno who was burned On 17 February 1600, in the Campo de’ Fiori.

He was a highly influential Magi and probably the creator of the Rosicrucian movement.

Hermes Trismegistus

Hermes Trismegistus “Thrice-Wise“was named Thoth or Djehuti in Ancient Egypt. The Djed of Djehuti represents the Power of the Snake (the Kundalini) in the Spinal Column.

Thoth was the Scribe of the Gods, the inventor of writing, and was usually depicted in hieroglyphics with the head of an Ibis Bird.

This head of the IBIS carried the Moon, the Planet of the Mother God, The Night and of Magic.

The Moon represents a complentary Universe that was found by Wolfgang Pauli, the co-inventor of uantum Mechanics and co-researcher of Carl Jung..

Bruno was trained in the memory palace and knew about magic just as Jon Dee, the personal advisor of Queen Elizabeth I.

John de Vere = William Shakespeare

There are many clues that point to John de Vere as William Skakespear.

with many references in his work to John Dee.

John Dee->the Triangel

communicated with the angels by his compagnian Edward Kelly He was convicted of fraud and lost his ears as a result before he met John dee. Kelley was a scryer. Scrying is the practice of looking into a suitable medium (such as a crystal ball, mirror, or other reflective surfaces) with the belief of gaining some sort of mystical or divinatory insight. In the context of Kelley and John Dee’s work, Kelley claimed to be able to communicate with angels through scrying.

John Dee, The Artists

Uniting the Monad

John Dee tried to unite the Nominalist and the ~Realists by finding the Monad (the Egg).

While the overall shape resembles an egg, the Monad incorporates many other symbols and geometric shapes.

Dee believed it held the key to understanding the universe and its underlying principles.

Hermeticism

Dee was deeply influenced by Hermeticism, a philosophical system that emphasized the connection between the microcosm (humanity) and the macrocosm (the universe).

The nicro and macro are part of a self referencing system that begins with the nothing . becoming a Pulse <.>.

He believed in the potential for humans to gain knowledge and power through studying these connections.

ChatCPT is Beating the Human Mind

4. Conclusion

Materialism and gnosis have been at odds for centuries, offering contrasting views on the nature of reality, knowledge, and salvation.

Materialists: The physical world is all there is. Knowledge comes from observation and experimentation. Liberation comes through social change or material improvement.

Gnostics: There is a higher, spiritual reality. Knowledge comes from intuition and mystical experiences. Liberation comes through spiritual enlightenment and gnosis (true knowledge).

This contrast can be traced back to Greek philosophy, early Christianity, the Middle Ages, the Enlightenment, and the 20th century.

Quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics and gnosis, share intriguing parallels that hint at a profound connection between science and spirituality, potentially supporting the notion that there is no objective reality beyond the mind.

Interconnectedness: Quantum mechanics reveals the interconnectedness of all things, while gnosis emphasizes the oneness of creation.

Observer effect: In quantum mechanics, observation influences reality, echoing gnostic teachings on the role of consciousness in shaping our experience.

Nonlocal nature: Quantum entanglement suggests reality transcends space and time, aligning with gnostic concepts of a transcendent realm.

Carl Jung <.> Wolgang Pauli

The link between Psychology and Physics was researched and discussed by Jung and Pauli who was inspired by dreams and was highly paranormal.

His link to the renaissance was the Alchemist Robert Fludd.

About the Next Steps of the Future Center Smart Systems and the Leiden Center of Data Science

At 28-4-2014 the Future Center Smart Systems (FCSS) was launched At the same moment the Leiden Center of Data Science (LCDS) was announced. This is not a coincidence.

FCSS and LCDS are two parts of the same coin. LCDS is focused on the Science of Data and FCSS is focused on using the results of the Science of Data to build Smart Systems or to give the Science of Data interesting problems to solve. FCSS is Practice and LCDS is theory.

When we look at Wikipedia we see that the Data Sciences are defined as “The study of the generalizable extraction of knowledge from data”. Knowledge shows itself in this case as Models, Patterns and Laws (Rules).

The Data Sciences detect patterns based on facts and are an abstraction of the Scientific Process itself.  The Data Sciences are therefore also called E-Science. 

E-Science is a combination of:  Signal processing, Mathematics, Probability models, Machine learning, Statistical learning, Computer programming, Data engineering, Pattern recognition and learning, Visualization, Uncertainty modeling, Data warehousing, and High performance computing.

Because E-Science is an abstraction of Science it can be applied to every science you can think of. In the case of the LCDS the current sciences that are involved are Physics, Astronomy, Bio-Science (Leiden Bioscience Park), Life-Sciences (Dutch Techcenter for Life Sciences, DTL), Medical Sciences (LUMC), Law (Leiden Law School), Aviation (NLR), Mathematics and Informatics (LIACS).

The FCSS is not only about E-Science it is also about using the patterns that are discovered to control processes and influence humans. In this case we are interested in the developments in Value, Case & Process-managers,  Domain Models and Sensor-Technology. Theory is static and practice is dynamic. Theory becomes practice by doing.

In the long view we expect that the combination of Senses & Actions & Thinking Machines will lead to Autonomous Systems that will help and support Humans. These systems are sometimes called Robots because we believe Autonomous Systems look like us but an autonomous system like our Universe does not have to move itself.

The next step of the Future Center is to connect with practice, start with technology transfer and find out what the need is of the market.

The Future Center is already involved in some projects and we wants to start some more. If you are interested to participate in one of the projects or want to start a new projects send an email to hans.konstapel@gmail.com.

  • Smart System Architectures
Smart Systems need Smart System Architectures. They are a combination of existing architectures based on Process-Models & Sensor-Systems (the Sensory-Motor System) and new architecture that are related to Visualization (the Imagination), Analytics (Data, Process, Text, Software-mining (Thinking)) and Social Networks. (Emotions). The end state is called Global Brain (“The Singularity”).
  • Disclosure of Open Data (Repository, Data Warehouses/Data Cards, Visualization)
A lot of Open Data is entering the market. It is not clear where this data is situated and what the data means. In this case we need a Repository and tools to define what part of the data we need at this moment (a Data Warehouse, Data Cards). We need also tools to hide the complexity of the current open databases and makes it possible to show what is available (Visualization).
  • Smart Innovation (Business-model generation out of Big- & Open Data) 

There are already many on-line tools available that support the innovation process. The data that is used in these tools (for instance market-data) has to be gathered to validate the models. We want to use the Data-sciences to gather appropriate market-data and detect interesting business-opportunities, To do that we want to use Big- and especially Open Data. 

  • Smart Value Chain Integration & Reversal (Product Configurators, Data/Proces/Software-Mining, Intelligent User-Interfaces)
The value-chains are integrating and the customer is moving into control. Currently a value chain consists of many companies that use many not integrated and not connected legacy-systems. These systems contain data and process-models. We want to use the Data-Sciences to detect these models (Process-mining. Data-Mining, Software-Mining) and map them to available domain-models (ACCORD, ARTS,…) or develop shared domain-models. The data that is used in the value-chain can be mapped to a product-configurator. Last but not least the user-interaction with the customers has te be designed.
  • Smart Education (Just-in-Time Education)
Technology is changing fast. This has a huge impact on education. The current system of education is not able  to react to the fast moving technology-waves because it is created  to support the Industrial Revolution that ended around 1950. We are now beyond the next wave that is taking over manual work and moving into the next step in which the Human Brian is copied. The solution to this all, Life Long Education,  is already invented a long time ago but we are not implementing this solution because the Current Education System is aimed at preventive education, trying to train people in the first stage of their life. The solution is Just-in-Time-Education, training people at the moment they need knowledge (DeepQA) or experience (Simulators).
  • Smart Buildings & Building Process (with ABN AMRO Dialogs House)
The Building Industry is already using 3D-Models (BIM). A BIM-model is a low-level product-configurator but the model can be moved to a higher level in which it is possible to share (and sell) complete Models (for instance a Hospital). The models can be used to simulate every attribute of a building and let the customers play with possible designs. The models can be used to calculate risk and most important optimize existing buildings (Facility Management). When we combine this with sensor-technology we are able to create adaptable buildings.
  • Smart Food Chain & Dietetics
The Food Value Chain will revert and the customer will be in control. At this moment the customers are educated with theories about food that are changing fast. “Good” Food is time, context and body-dependent. We want to make tools that use personal sensors that show the customer what they have to eat to stay healthy and tell them where and how they can buy this food.
  • Food & Health (with the International Alliance of Future Centers)
It is not clear what the impact is of Food on our Health. In this project we will analyze the complete food-chain.
  • Smart Urban Space (The Self Actualizing City)
This is an integration of the concepts of the Smart City, Integrated Value Chains, the Creative City and Smart Social Networks.
  • Next Generation Media

Media are at this moment based on the Sender/Receiver-concept. We want to use the Data Sciences to detect patterns, transform these patterns into text and images and implement a feed-back process with the customers.

  • Next Generation Theatre
We want to use the concept of  5D Film to create a new type of sensory and emotional experience.
  • Next Generation Energy Systems
Implementing Autarkic Energy Systems.
  • Smart Mobility
Using new concepts like the Self-Driving Car & Sensor-Networks  to optimize mobility in Big Cities.
  • Social Enterprises (Impact Finance, Social Bonds, Circular Systems, Cooperatives, Complementary Currencies)
The next generation enterprises has to be aware and reduce its impact on society and environment. In this project we also look the finance of Social Enterprises (Impact Finance, Social Bonds) but also at the circular economy, new organizational structures (cooperations, ) and new financial systems based on complementary currencies.
  • Conflict-Resolution/E-Mediation
Preventing and resolving conflicts by implementing Smart Mediation.
  • Future Jobs (Unemployement & Sense-making, with the International Alliance of Future Centers)
What are the consequences of Smart Systems on employment?
  • Smart Care Systems

We want to use Smart Systems to help people that need Economic, Physical, Social and/or Mental Support.

  • Virtual Future Centers (with the International Alliance of Future Centers) 
Future Centers are currently location-based. Future Centers look like Smart Systems because they Sense their environment, react (Process Manager) on the Events that are happening, try to predict what will happen (Analytics), involve Networks (Communitiies of Practice, Interest and/or Affinity) and Scientific Knowledge Centers (like the LCDS), create a shared Vision and  put this vision into Action (Entrepeneurs, Innovators, Incubators). There are already many people busy with developing parts of the Virtual Future Center. We are currently designing an Architecture and will create an Alliance to join the efforts of all participants.
  • Next Generation Secure Data Centers
Smart Systems need Smart Data Centers.

About the Future of Radio

When I was young (I am 57) the only link to the outside world was radio. My parents were poor and it took a very long time until they were able to buy a television. Until that time we went to friends to look at television shows that were the top of the bill (the Black & White Minstrel Show!).

 Together with my friend Fred we built a radio receiver and a radio transmitter. We started to make our own radio programs and were exited when we found out that others we able to listen to us. We were also very afraid the police would find us. At that time many young and old people were exploiting their own small “illegal” radio station. Some of them have never stopped.

When the television finally appeared in our home everything changed. My parents (especially my father) wanted to look and listen to almost everything. We had to keep our mouths shut. The television dominated our family and everything we did together like playing games stopped. I hated television and I must say I never fell in love with the Medium. It is taking too much of my time without giving anything back.

The best thing that happened to me was You Tube and other tools that make it possible to look/listen to something I want to see/hear at the right time and the right place. I am finally in control of my own time again.

I am still a friend of the Radio. The first reason is that radio is not dominant. I can listen to the radio and read a book. It is easy to drive a car and listen to the Radio.

Radio is also exiting when it comes to Events. I still prefer to listen to a soccer-game instead of watching the soccer-game on television. The combination is really fun. It has to do with the Emotions of the reporter and the Details he is presenting.

Radio is all about Emotions.

Radio brings you in a certain mood. Because mood changes with the moment Radio has to specialize. It also has to specialize because people have all kind of different interests. They want to know about what is happening in their local community but they also want to know what is happening in the world. They want to know more about Science, Sports, Politics or Spirituality.

What is the Future of Radio?

At this moment radio stations are essentially bought and paid for by the record companies through what is known as Payola. They are not in the business of helping you and I enjoy music, they are in the business of making money. At the end of the day, organizations have to make money to stay in business, but if making money is all that they care about, they will need to figure out a way to do without relying on people listening to the radio. The current scheme will be gone in the near future.

 

Increasingly, program directors are using computer programs to choose the records their stations will play. They are creating a Digital JuBox. Once everything is put in the music library the director can give the program a series of instructions and let the program produce a playlist. Is programmed Radio, Radio with a Heart?

 

 

The Radio of the Future is all about Listeners becoming the Stars and the Core contributors and Producers of the content that a radio will air. There will be free tools, facilities and access to content to allow individuals to search, edit and compile unique documentaries, investigative reports, artistic montages and new kinds of music. The Radio of the Future will be a tool to support Creativity and Passion.

  • Radio as a Digital Jubox

There is no need to listen to a Digital Jubox if everybody is able to program his own Digital Jubox.

  • Radio as a Commercial Tool

Everybody hates Commercials.

  • Radio is Life Itself

The real strength of radio is its ability to be truly “live”. Broadcasting can take place from nearly any place or location to report, chronicle or create “live” news and events. Being able to listen to something that is happening at this very second in another place is something that most humans get fascinated by.

  • Radio is the Human Voice

The live human voice is a totally different experience than any other one. It is powerful, touching and engaging.

  • Think Global, Act Local

Start at the Lowest level of Interaction, The Local Community. Give them the News and Interaction they Need. Create As Many Levels You want to Abstract the Local News. Create a Political View, an Ecological View, a Scientific View on the Your Content. Mix World News with Local News but when Local News becomes World News (or National News or …) be the first to be at The Right Place at the Right Moment.

  • Do it Yourself Radio

Give Listeners the opportunity to create and broadcast their own radio programs. It will generate new music, alternative news and reporting talent.

  • Radio is a Two Way Channel

Not only give Listeners the opportunity to broadcast but give them also the opportunity to react real-time and create groups to deepen an issue. Give them the opportunity to report their findings. If this happens it will close the feedback loop.

  • Specialize

Everything is a niche. Specific kinds of music, news or commentary are becoming clearly more important than typical generalized radio content that needs to appeal to as large as possible an audience.

  • People want to be surprised

Commercial radio today is less concerned with finding music that will draw listeners in than with eliminating music that might drive listeners out. The result is numbing repetition. People like repetition for a little while but when a format is completely predictable they will “zap” for something else. Some people like being surprised by strange sounds they have never heard before.

  • Archive, Classify and Search

Allow access to each and every show, interview or news item ever broadcast. People want to listen at their time to what they want to hear. Make it easy to look for what they want.

  • Create and experiment with as many channels and formats as you want

 

It is very easy to subdivide and multiply content into multiple channels with no major additional costs in infrastructure. If a channel or a format is not attracting enough listeners simply reconfigurate your content and start a new one.
