Integrated Problemsolving

Solution of big societal issues - leading to fundamental paradigm shifts in areas of world peace, wisdom (human evolution), hunger, poverty, wealth distribution, education, housing, prosperity, freedom, etc - as opposed to developing point technological solutions that do not question the underlying paradigms of civilization-level systems and operations.

For example, developing clean energy or AI is a point solution. Solving for the fair distribution of wealth or environmental regeneration is integrated problemsolving. Point solutions can be applied in integrated problemsolving - but the distinction here is HOW the point solutions are used. In themselves, point solutions are either good or bad. How point solutions are used determines whether these contribute to 'integrated problemsolving'.

Here we must define ethical principles for 'integrated problemsolving'. For example, how do we define 'prosperity' and 'world peace' and 'freedom'? We can do a lot in terms of objective definitions of these, as opposed to subjective, alternative realities. For this, Moral Intelligence is a start.

Communities of practice can be created around integrated problemsolving as a respected movement in society. A metric for what qualifies as Integrated Problemsolving should be developed to keep clarity on mission alignment. A retirement community is a known organizational form - this would be a retirement community for young people of any age.
