- W184435877 abstract "The policy and decision-making processes of modern economically developed societies are essentially dominated by an internal dynamics, comprising information flows and feedback mechanisms all directed to maintain or if possible extend growth. It is as though the cybernetic law of the System is PIPO, i.e. Paradigm In-Paradigm Out. Thus our social system is programmed by the total permeation of a dominant social paradigm of growth and progress resting on the acquisition of technology. Each of the major sub-systems, i.e. politics, economics, culture and technology are integrated to the total system by adaptive and reinforcing information flows, in effect locked into the growth imperative. The entire system is plagued by a number of informational cybernetic and analytical malfunctions including the current dominant linear reductionist mode of thinking leading to a tendency to maximize the rate of return on investment (political, military and economic). There is also a conflict of time-frame, i.e. between short-term positive returns and long-term negative impacts. The future is thus effectively discounted as quantity consistently defeats quality. The paradigmatic infection spreads to policy and regulatory tools and techniques. Quality of Life (QOL) Indicators and environmental protection generally are effectively deoperationalized and tend to be tokenistic. Bad quantity, in effect, drives out good quality. KEY PHRASES Cybernetic dysfunctions of social and policy systems; Policies and paradigms; Epistemological and entropic limits; Omniscient reductionist rationality; Ideology of progress; Elite accommodation; “Faustian bargains”; Reductionism ad absurdem; Paradigmatic infection; Dominance of positive feedback; Discounting the future; Quantity drives out quality; The quantitative bias; Quality of life equals quantity of life." @default.
