The theory has been employed to analyse the fluctuating fortunes of life over the past 4,000 million years (myrs) and human society over the past 2 myrs; to investigate the nature of the human mind; to analyse contemporary economic problems (inflation, financial crises, climate change); to explore socio-political issues (population change, democracy versus totalitarianism, "clash of civilisations", disease [COVID-19] control, the role of religion, the future of Western Civilization); to reflect on philosophical and psychological questions (human nature, truth, evil, freedom, the meaning of life); to provide a realist theory of the mind for a mindless AI; and to predict the future of human civilisation. The dynamic-strategy theory, which employs a demand-side approach, is unique in a world of supply-side theories; and its unique quality has led to the discovery of the dynamic life system that the author calls the "strategic logos". The strategic logos is a materialist system that is conceptually similar to the cosmos analysed by physicists, and to the human mind studied by psychologists. Five decades of research and publication in the fields of global dynamics and biological and social complexity have been brought together in Graeme Snooks' recently (November 2015) published book "ARK OF THE SUN: the improbable voyage of life". This exploration of existence has provided the basis for a novel philosophy of life, which is presented in his book "ULTIMATE REALITY & ITS DISSIDENTS" (March 2016). Snooks' latest (February 2021) book, GREAT MYTHS TO DIE FOR,  is a guide for avoiding man-made disasters in the future.<br /><br />From 1989 to 2010 Graeme Snooks was the foundation Coghlan Research Professor in Economics & History in the Institute of Advanced Studies, Australian National University. Since 2010 he has been the Executive Director of the Institute of Global Dynamic Systems in Canberra. A full list of publications can be found on "Graeme Snooks Researchgate" (only a small selection shown here).

This book provides the capstone to Graeme Snooks' extensive research, spanning five decades, on biological and social evolution.<br /><br />ARK OF THE SUN shows and explains how life on Earth is driven and shaped by the newly discovered dynamic life system that the author calls the "strategic logos". The "logos" is an entropy-defying, shock-deflecting system that has enabled biological forms  and their societies to prosper in a hostile world.

T.M. Robinson) Philosophers and scientists down through the ages have grappled with the polarizing concepts of the eternal and the ephemeral in human society.

It is concluded that the real tragedy of Nietzsche's life is that he lost his sanity in a crusade that was doomed before it had begun.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/125248282/Self_contra_Logos_Nietzsches_Fatal_Error","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2024-11-02T23:11:09.337-07:00","section":"Papers","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":true,"current_user_is_owner":true,"owner_id":14411587,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":119326108,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/119326108/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"SelfContraLogos_2_.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/119326108/download_file?st=MTczMjM5ODYxMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Self_contra_Logos_Nietzsches_Fatal_Error.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/119326108/SelfContraLogos_2_-libre.pdf?1730617763=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DSelf_contra_Logos_Nietzsches_Fatal_Error.pdf\u0026Expires=1732394978\u0026Signature=JdVxDK-UoplQpv2X2M4Gro0ljRotTN3zw-wnnpulEMsM6-HbivCarjvVEv8rBnXny63BNIeW44vBv4i9n36sgs50zg-7334wNqRwqBerf2S6Neyv3iygbFklfPKoArzdYt2woTXeCYL1R13ht1I4vBiaCvB-953Nu1tLgNyXp~mtrNqX6OTfWnT7-13LNnbxf0IR1lGTw1BrQnhKKsNUMYoXz9gnC6u5xutSwyPJ-fjsdvIchmctImx9Mm~QLhpyHbk9q-X9-xpRwcprK6bi4NoZrC4q9pVVj5hkJmHsxQrsQv-wQdstx9pWlLkyI-b41bn1DIipsU~sL2qFfquRNg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Self_contra_Logos_Nietzsches_Fatal_Error","translated_slug":"","page_count":47,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":14411587,"first_name":"Graeme","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Snooks","page_name":"GraemeSnooks","domain_name":"anu-au","created_at":"2014-07-27T11:27:35.738-07:00","display_name":"Graeme Snooks","url":"https://anu-au.academia.edu/GraemeSnooks"},"attachments":[{"id":119326108,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/119326108/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"SelfContraLogos_2_.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/119326108/download_file?st=MTczMjM5ODYxMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Self_contra_Logos_Nietzsches_Fatal_Error.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/119326108/SelfContraLogos_2_-libre.pdf?1730617763=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DSelf_contra_Logos_Nietzsches_Fatal_Error.pdf\u0026Expires=1732394978\u0026Signature=JdVxDK-UoplQpv2X2M4Gro0ljRotTN3zw-wnnpulEMsM6-HbivCarjvVEv8rBnXny63BNIeW44vBv4i9n36sgs50zg-7334wNqRwqBerf2S6Neyv3iygbFklfPKoArzdYt2woTXeCYL1R13ht1I4vBiaCvB-953Nu1tLgNyXp~mtrNqX6OTfWnT7-13LNnbxf0IR1lGTw1BrQnhKKsNUMYoXz9gnC6u5xutSwyPJ-fjsdvIchmctImx9Mm~QLhpyHbk9q-X9-xpRwcprK6bi4NoZrC4q9pVVj5hkJmHsxQrsQv-wQdstx9pWlLkyI-b41bn1DIipsU~sL2qFfquRNg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":2827,"name":"Mental Health","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Mental_Health"},{"id":3022,"name":"Human Values","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Human_Values"},{"id":8303,"name":"Friedrich Nietzsche","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Friedrich_Nietzsche"},{"id":9581,"name":"The Self","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/The_Self"},{"id":13803,"name":"Nietzsche","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Nietzsche"},{"id":27269,"name":"Subjectivity Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Subjectivity_Studies"},{"id":42172,"name":"Richard Wagner","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Richard_Wagner"},{"id":42902,"name":"Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, German philosophy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Nietzsche_Schopenhauer_German_philosophy"},{"id":2715318,"name":"Sils-Maria","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sils-Maria"},{"id":3607104,"name":"strategic logos","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/strategic_logos"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="111272621"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/111272621/Will_Artificial_General_Intelligence_AGI_Ever_Be_Achieved_And_If_So_How_A_realist_theory_of_the_mind_for_a_mindless_AI_"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Will Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Ever Be Achieved?

The fundamental questions, however, are whether this will ever be achieved, and, if so, how? With a few notable exceptions, most researchers in the AI community feel this is decades, even centuries, away, because of major technical and economic obstacles that block the path. And even if AGI is ever achieved, many are concerned about the likely impact on human civilization. But in all cases AI researchers are only making intelligent guesses, owing to the fact that they do not have, or even recognise, a realist general dynamic theory of life, society, and the human mind. The reason is that membership of the AI community is limited to experts trained in computer science, neuroscience and cognitive science. Their number does not include the critically important science of Life-Dynamics. This paper makes a case for the inclusion of research from the Science of Life-Dynamics--namely a general dynamic theory of life, society, and the human mind based on systematic observation and data analysis of the real world over long periods of time. This, it is argued, is the only way to achieve a full understanding of the emergence, existential functioning, and role of the human brain: the only way that AI will shed its current mindlessness. This theory not only provides a dynamic existential model of the mind, it also provides a more realistic test for the achievement of AGI-the "Dynamic-Strategy Test", by which robots with human-level intelligence will need to become "dynamic strategists" and join in the strategic pursuit for survival and prosperity. But this raises an even greater hurdle than a mechanical understanding of the mind, for it requires AI to acquire "strategic desire", the driving force in life. The question is, can this organic imperative ever be replicated artificially, and, if it could, wouldn't that result in the destruction of humanity by highly self-motivated robots determined to win the struggle for survival? These questions, and more, are discussed in this paper. And a general dynamic theory of the mind is sketched out to provide a more realistic roadmap for the journey to AGI. It is finally concluded that the science of life-dynamics needs to be added to the arsenal of the AI community. Until it does, AI will remain mindless.

Kura-Araxes culture flourished for a thousand years over a large area of Transcaucasia, northern Iran, upper Mesopotamia, eastern Anatolia, and the Levant as far south as the Sea of Galilee. Despite the brilliant work done by archaeologists from a surprisingly large number of countries--including Armenia, France, Italy, Russia, USA, Canada, and Australia--in revealing the characteristics and range of Kura-Araxes culture, the enigmatic status of its origins, expansion and demise remain. Indeed, the contrast between the mounting evidence of Kura-Araxes culture on the one hand and the puzzlement of scholars on the other, seems to be getting greater. Attempts to explain this cultural phenomenon with ad hoc partial "models" have proven futile. What is required to solve this enigma is the interrogation of the evidence by a realist general dynamic theory that has proven its worth in the study of many other societies in many other historical epochs. To this end, this paper employs a general dynamic theory--the "dynamic-strategy theory"--that I developed in the early 1990s and have subsequently applied to many societies over time. With this unified theory, which is based on systematic real-world observation, it is possible to explain the Kura-Araxes life-system, the driving motivation of its people, the dynamic engine underlying their expansion, and the ultimate demise of their culture.

Philosophers have always debated the related concepts of "free will" and "individual freedom", while people throughout the world have fought and died for political control of their own lives. Both matters are dealt with in this paper. Employing my general dynamic theory of human society--the "dynamic-strategy theory"--it is shown that the road to freedom involves negotiating a major paradox--what is called the "Great Paradox of Life". Even when democracy is achieved, individuals are tightly constrained by the life-system (or "strategic LOGOS") that they serve. Avoiding the road to serfdom is not the same as taking the road to freedom. In this paper, a distinction is drawn between "strategic freedom"--those constrained economic and political freedoms allowed by the strategic LOGOS--and "ultimate freedom"--those wider intellectual and psychological freedoms that are achieved by acknowledging the strategic logos, but refusing to be defined by it.

And the response over that long period of time has varied according to the strategic aspirations of the societies to which these great thinkers belonged. This paper provides an entirely new strategic interpretation of the nature and role of mankind based on my realist general dynamic theory of human society.

And the most fascinating aspect of order and complexity is that it has arisen throughout history without any conscious human management. Indeed, whenever ideologically motivated individuals and groups--who I call metaphysical interventionists--attempt to achieve 'progressive' outcomes through the establishment of centralised controls, it all ends in disorder and chaos, with great human suffering. Surely the most searching question we can ask is: what is responsible for the unplanned order and complexity of our world? In our secular era--which rejects the metaphysical idea of divine intervention--the 'scientific' answer to this question--is that it emerges 'spontaneously' through supply-side agent interactions. This response is totally inadequate. In the present paper, it is argued that order and complexity are outcomes of an underlying dynamic mechanism that I call the strategic logos.

By persisting with this unrealistic conquest strategy in the Ukraine and beyond, Putin's gross miscalculation may well lead to the collapse of Russian society and to the loss of the dictator's personal authority and even his removal from office.

immiseration.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/74732552/The_Self_Defeating_Conquest_Strategy_of_the_Russian_Dictator_Vladimir_Putin_or_Why_Putins_War_in_Ukraine_is_Unwinnable_","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-03-27T17:18:54.850-07:00","section":"Papers","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":true,"current_user_is_owner":true,"owner_id":14411587,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":82776393,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/82776393/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Putin_sWar.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/82776393/download_file?st=MTczMjM5ODYxMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Self_Defeating_Conquest_Strategy_of.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/82776393/Putin_sWar-libre.pdf?1648427359=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Self_Defeating_Conquest_Strategy_of.pdf\u0026Expires=1732394978\u0026Signature=c705mkO2Bhu~t7sW4yv-kV8bXcdD68fOfb2o4LfD2xRju0-latG9hBMDx8NRras6k0P3AhAIf8wNeIrISuBq~nNbyV0chF3SbWUkd4YhnwX4Z7uoV5XJvGgzx0vEm7RW~aZ2jNJfIdN~2YsOkUb45sjgySA5SVRu3BL0O2-dpg~xSXqXb9OznzEGPiOP2BuElLSQeZXQVWjJXW8YfXL9NQqeAf9FCRTSeVC0pSavzqmRFzn4tXQ~faSeJQ5IlQVus8EjT0v9GvE0w9nNreb26bygeSGKGnMjXeNzSk6AtEYuo9aWmtVW-fEkAvQymcuubEEclQ9esHWHjwlrnwBU9w__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"The_Self_Defeating_Conquest_Strategy_of_the_Russian_Dictator_Vladimir_Putin_or_Why_Putins_War_in_Ukraine_is_Unwinnable_","translated_slug":"","page_count":25,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":14411587,"first_name":"Graeme","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Snooks","page_name":"GraemeSnooks","domain_name":"anu-au","created_at":"2014-07-27T11:27:35.738-07:00","display_name":"Graeme

We have always recognised the precariousness of life and sought ways to defend ourselves against the inevitable--from physical decline and death. The surrounding ruins of earlier civilizations remind us of our fate. We look hopefully to forces greater than ourselves--to gods or science--for guidance or protection. Yet our precautionary efforts betray signs of desperation, as we know that all great societies of the past have crumbled into dust. Still we hope to succeed where those that went before us failed. This is our belief, despite all evidence and logic to the contrary. <br />In order to go beyond reason, mankind has developed great myths about its ability to control the forces of destiny. These great myths provide the confidence required to live without total despair and to be able to step confidently into the future. Great myths about gods and super heroes have emerged in all societies in the past. Even today in modern technological societies we invest the masters of science, such as medical, climate and technological scientists, with a god-like status.

It is a forensic project based on a scientific approach to history that employs a realist general dynamic theory. I developed this theory from a systematic study of global historical patterns in a series of 30 books and many articles over the past 55 years. The outcome of this study is two-fold.

But successful at what? Its rationale, which is supported neither by a general dynamic theory nor by historical/empirical studies of the relationship between growth and prices, is the presumption that the containment of inflation to low levels will ensure both shortrun economic stability and longrun prosperity. Initially these targets were set at 0-2% pa (New Zealand), but later relaxed slightly to 2-3% pa. By employing a general dynamic theory and estimating the growth-inflation curve for the UK and USA over several timeframes, this paper shows that, contrary to conventional wisdom, inflation targeting since the early 1990s has constrained not only prices but also economic growth--to rates half of those achieved in the previous period 1961 to 2019. Also, this study has uncovered a new economic concept, the Inflation-Targeting Trap--a low level trap from which growth rates have been unable to break free. As inflation targeting is contributing to the stagnation of Western civilization, it should be abandoned.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="823f52dd64c0ed3a01135d7c04835992" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":65503063,"asset_id":44968388,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/65503063/download_file?st=MTczMjM5ODYxMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="44968388"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="44968388"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44968388; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=44968388]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=44968388]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44968388; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='44968388']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 44968388, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "823f52dd64c0ed3a01135d7c04835992" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=44968388]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":44968388,"title":"The Growth-Inflation Curve and--its Nemesis--the Inflation-Targeting Trap: Theoretical and Empirical Origins","translated_title":"","metadata":{"issue":"November","abstract":"Formal inflation targeting, which was introduced internationally in the early 1990s, has been evaluated by orthodox economists as \"a success\".
