“It's
natural that an intelligent species would be successful enough
to hit the limits of its own growth without knowing it was going
to do so. It's natural that through our successes we have overindustrialized,
overpopulated, polluted and used up our environment. It may be
that this whole predicament is a natural phenomenon and that this
intelligent species is now getting a signal : evolve or die.”

The Center for Human Emergence
will be built around seven specific functions that are designed
to systematically collect information, understand what is going
on, develop credible options, and communicate those possibilities
in sophisticated, effective ways. CHE functions include: research,
understand, assess, anticipate, solution development, outreach,
and monitoring.

1. Research will be a fundamental
component of the Center for Human Emergence, directed toward isolating
emerging ideas that are apropos to large-scale systemic change.
2 & 3. Understanding and Assessment
. These CHE Divisions will generate global memetic maps – topographic
maps of cultures, and fuse these with global trends. This Vital
Signs Monitor will be done through the launching of the Human
Memome Project.
4. The Solution Development Division
will search for and produce tangible solutions for large, global
problems.
5. Anticipation . The Global Surprise
Anticipation Center will be at the center of the Anticipation
Division. This center will focus on anticipating potential surprises,
assessing their effects, and designing response plans. Based upon
the similar center developed for the government of Singapore,
this powerful capability will be powered by The Arlington Institute's
DIANE (Digital Analysis Environment) system.
6. Outreach . This is the communications
and education arm of CHE. Specialized groups and products will
disseminate warnings, encouragement, support networks, and provide
communications and education.
7. Monitoring . In order to maintain contact and continually feed
changes back into CHE, we will continue to monitor the global
landscape, gathering memetic and trend information through Vital
signs Monitors.
“If we are successful, the
Center for Human Emergence will play a major role in facilitating
a global transition to a new era, because it will be designed
to do just that…”
