Human-Machine-Ecological Deep Growth
= from a report inquiring into a new National Development Strategy for North Macedonia, which looks at how the nation-state should adopt in a world of networked flows
Characteristics
Dark Matter Lab:
"Any meaningful National Development Strategy needs to adopt a new theory of growth that fundamentally integrates the new human-machine-ecological economy as a virtuous system of both maintaining and expanding economic potentialities, and not see technological advancement as a threat or ecological preservation as a constraint.
Human-machine-ecological deep growth is:
- Growth that accounts for all the negative externalities that result from the economic activity causing that growth;
- Growth that is sustainable to the ecological, human and machine systems from which it draws inputs and to which it contributes;
- Growth that maximises the potential of those systems by regenerating and augmenting them;
- Growth that is the result of a regenerative economy, which is not only extracting natural resources, but maintains the natural ecosystem in which society is embedded and helps it thrive;
- Growth that supports the development of foundational antifragility;
- Growth that focuses on developing 21st century human, machine and ecological capabilities;
- Growth that shifts the aim from a winner takes all mentality in structures that hitherto had defined parameters and goals and a foreseeable set of variables, to one where success in an uncertain and interconnected world is assessed on mutual advancement, self-sufficiency and maintenance. In other words, growth that focuses on infinite games instead of finite games."
