How to explain Copenhagen to a comedian
Memo to Eugene Mirman
http://www.grist.org/article/2009-12-03-how-to-explain-copenhagen-to-a-comedian
Photo illustration / iStock images
Comedian Eugene Mirman is going to Copenhagen for Grist to cover the international climate talks.
Eugene is a fairly well-informed guy (he at least scans Google News looking for reviews of his
latest album), but he’s the first to admit that he doesn’t live, eat, and smoke climate policy.
At his request, the Grist staff threw together a basic cheat sheet on Copenhagen.  It’s overly simplistic. It
avoids lots of important details. It’s probably offensive. In short, it’s just enough to help Eugene feign
cluefulness when he’s accosting world leaders in Denmark.
SOILS and HUMUS
see as a started this new FILM (2009)
Humus - Forgotten climate aid - The
implications are immense, see also the
Ignorance statement in the beginning of
this presentation, BioChar and Terra
Preta. and another You Tube clip

Thinking and Doing and Sharing ?
Whoever imagines mental
deep permeable barriers
which actually do not exist 
and then thinks them away,
has understood the world. 
As space is entrapped
in geometry's network of lines, 
thought is caught in its (own) inherent laws. 
Maps make the world comprehensible to us; 
we are still waiting for
the star-maps of the spirit. 
In the same way than ambling through fields 
we risk getting lost,
the spirit negotiates its terrain.

NO !!

WHY ?
The greatest single achievement of science 
in this most scientifically productive of centuries 
is the discovery that we are profoundly ignorant; 
we know very little about nature
and understand even less.

THE NEED and A WORK-REPORT
towards an embodied Covenant
Heiner Benking
Independent Futurist and Facilitator
Possible elements for a more tangible, practical, and feasible shared Global Learning
Elements needed for a different ways of
(GLOBAL) learning and shared action and consensus building
PRE-REQUISIT: Space (tangible=dimensionality and immersion) in
multi-dimensional multi-sectorial realms
MODEL THINKING: (also making use of cognitive spaces).
MAPS and (mental) MODELS to provide collectively explorable
tangible spaces for multi-media and sign integration, multi-modal
thinking and shared cognitive models, see super-signs and meta-
models. See, Systems and Model (tangible pragmatics, Culture vs.
Cyberculture.
OUTLINE (CONTEXT) -bounds and PATTERN -matching
thinking on different levels of details or granularity. See
Global Covenant and general comparative studies
DIALOG & DECISION CULTURE

Why Democratic Dialogue?
• Motivations (just a few):
• Increasing complexity & globalization of issues
• Increasing interconnectedness (systems thinking)
– e.g. Global warming as a symptom: How do we reach
agreement on root causes for action?
• Need for citizen participation in public institutions
• Weakness of citizens vs. corporations in civil
issues
– Not knowing how to make the most difference
• Breakdown of media communications, distrust
• Socratic Dialogue
• Gadamer’s hermeneutic dialogue
• Habermas’ Communicative Action
• Bohm’s “collective meaning”
• Bakhtin’s dialogical imagination
• Freire’s dialogue in education & social action
• Facilitated dialogue, Art of Hosting
• Talking Stick – World Cafe

90ies: http://open-forum.de/guide2dialog-VUMC--1999.htm
So let us check below some hurdles and barriers we have to
address which prevent us from reaching the objectives of :
Suspend Certainty
Seek to Expand the Questions
Grow Ideas Rather Than Take a Position
Listen to Your Listening
Be Open Rather Than Attaching to Outcomes   
Getting the Whole System

Subtitle of Fig 1: Although the perspectives of the
world's people vary in space and time, every human
concern falls somewhere on the space time graph.
The majority of the world's people are concerned
with matters that effect only family or friends
over a short period of time.
Others look far ahead in time or over a large area - a
city or a nation. Only few people have
a perspective that extends far into the future.

Later we can read in the book: that in contrast to the
majorities focus in the quadrant in the lower left
“box”, the book concerns itself with the upper
right quadrant or “box”.

  • 3. How to explain Copenhagen to a comedian Memo to Eugene Mirman http://www.grist.org/article/2009-12-03-how-to-explain-copenhagen-to-a-comedian Photo illustration / iStock images Comedian Eugene Mirman is going to Copenhagen for Grist to cover the international climate talks. Eugene is a fairly well-informed guy (he at least scans Google News looking for reviews of his latest album), but he’s the first to admit that he doesn’t live, eat, and smoke climate policy. At his request, the Grist staff threw together a basic cheat sheet on Copenhagen.  It’s overly simplistic. It avoids lots of important details. It’s probably offensive. In short, it’s just enough to help Eugene feign cluefulness when he’s accosting world leaders in Denmark.

Whoever imagines mental deep permeable barriers which actually do not exist  and then thinks them away, has understood the world.  As space is entrapped in geometry's network of lines,  thought is caught in its (own) inherent laws.  Maps make the world comprehensible to us;  we are still waiting for the star-maps of the spirit.  In the same way than ambling through fields  we risk getting lost, the spirit negotiates its terrain.

Meadows, Jorgen Randers & William W. Behrens III, Potomac Associates, New York (1972) pls. see also The Club of Rome - The Predicament of Mankind, 1970 Subtitle of Fig 1: Although the perspectives of the world's people vary in space and time, every human concern falls somewhere on the space time graph. The majority of the world's people are concerned with matters that effect only family or friends over a short period of time. Others look far ahead in time or over a large area - a city or a nation. Only few people have a perspective that extends far into the future. * Later we can read in the book: that in contrast to the majorities focus in the quadrant in the lower left “box”, the book concerns itself with the upper right quadrant or “box”.
