Subject: <unlike-us> New book series for the 2020s
Message-ID: <29b56578-bb20-a598-773a-13cf57f4feb8@riseup.net>

Hi all,

I've published /The Creation of Me, Them and Us/ 
<https://www.amazon.com/dp/1989783015/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=The+Creation+of+Me%2C+Them+and+Us&qid=1578588754&s=digital-text&sr=1-1-catcorr>, 
the first book in the new series I have been working on for those of you 
who may be interested in that.

I hope you are all well and this year brings everyone progress in 
whatever it is you are working on!

/The single greatest tool for making moral people commit atrocities is 
group affiliation. The single greatest tool for promoting global human 
rights and equality is to end group affiliation./

This book is an expansion of the thought above, written in/Binding 
Chaos/in 2013. In 2013, so many things seemed simple and self-evident. 
In 2020, the goal seems as clear as ever, but the road seems much longer 
and many things have to be examined in detail that were glossed over a 
decade ago. Like our journey, this book is more complicated than the 
book written almost a decade ago. It will take longer to read and longer 
still to debate, but like Spain?s 15-M movement used to say,/we are 
moving slowly because we are//trave//l//ling//a long way./

When our quest for justice falls apart we, like Inigo Montoya, need to 
go back to the beginning. This book is the beginning.It is part of a 
series that will cover the structure of our institutions, but before we 
can discuss our institutions, we need to discuss who we are.This series 
beginsbyexamining the nature of self, life, will, reality and power. The 
rest of the serieslooks atthe societal institutions which have grown up 
around nations, economy, law, governance, architecture and 
technology.These books arealla further examination of the problems 
identified in/Binding Chaos/in 2013.

By the time we reach the end of thisseries, we will hopefully be back on 
the road to building a better world, armed with a better understanding 
of where and how we were derailed.I hope it is some help to each of you 
on your own paths.

LIMITS 2020
Sixth Workshop on Computing within Limits
June 21-22, 2020 <http://airmail.calendar/2020-06-21%2012:00:00%20BST>
Bristol, UK and Los Angeles, USA
https://computingwithinlimits.org/2020/


The LIMITS workshop concerns the role of computing in a human society
affected by real-world limits (ecological or otherwise). We seek to reshape
the computing research agenda as these topics are seldom discussed in
contemporary computing research. LIMITS 2020 solicits papers looking ahead
to 2030, as described below.

This year, LIMITS will be a distributed workshop between USC (Los Angeles,
California, USA) and University of Bristol (UK). All main sessions will be
held in parallel (morning in Los Angeles, evening in Bristol), with local
events in addition to these main sessions. LIMITS in the UK will be
co-located with ICT4S.

LIMITS 2020 aims to reach computing researchers outside of the LIMITS
community who might ask: "what does research in a LIMITS future look like?"

Suppose the ideas of LIMITS have diffused throughout both computing
research and broader society, such that LIMITS 2030, ten years from now,
need not exist as a separate venue. What would researchers and engineers be
building in that future world?

To reach this audience, we solicit papers on "future systems". Such systems
are socio-technical systems that are responsive to the LIMITS 2030 world
that might exist. This year we specifically discourage "critical",
"analysis", and similar types of papers.

A future systems paper concerns the design, implementation, and/or
evaluation of a real tool, system, app, or any other artifact situated in a
future (year 2030) world. Such contributions would be of a flavor that
could be imagined to be published in a more applied venue of computing
(e.g., UIST for HCI researchers, NSDI for networked systems researchers,
etc.). That is, if the researchers from more-applied, less-critical areas
of computing were to shift their topics of interest to align with this
envisioned world of 2030, what would they build? Empirical evaluation is
strongly encouraged; papers without an empirical evaluation are acceptable
if they provide substantial evidence regarding the practical usefulness of
the future system(s) described.

We look to a classic vision outlined by Donella Meadows (see LIMITS website
for details) for the future world of 2030 papers should be placed within.
That is, authors should imagine that one or more of the economic, societal,
business, energy, and other changes that Meadows describes here are already
coming into being, but require computing to help them take shape.
