One Possible Model for Designing social Transformation

This presentation is a multimedia systemic model embracing fundamental cybernetic concepts, notions and ideas when exploring social Transformations by an interactorliving a variety of micro and or macro domains.
Question: How might I you me we create a better world -- or maybe even -- a new society?
A fundamental premise of this presentation is nested in the triadic relationship between observers, the language they use, and the society they generate by the languaging as such.
This is my starting point.
Over the years, even decades, I have witnessed many including myself voice our longings for cybernetic models that might provoke transformative shifts in our thinking and doing in the societies we generate and create.
In her 2011 acceptance letter upon receiving the Norbert Wiener Medal, Mary Catherine Bateson called out to the ASC community to meet the need for cybernetic approaches for solving the many interconnecting problems we face. As she stated in her letter, “Who else is going to do it?”
During this multimedia presentation, with help from Diane Levings, I will offer one possible model for attempting to do just that. I will present a “wholistic” model for designing and acting in ways that might create and possibly generate, social Transformation and a new society.
Models are not true or false, they are more or less useful. -- Stafford Beer
This systemic model is based in a variety of circularities for thinking, designing, acting and performing. It is based in 30 years of dialogue, conversations and discourse with myself and others, many of which I met through my associations with the ASC. Mentors and collogues alike, whose words, ideas and insights will be explored.
I have been attending ASC meetings since 1992 as a videographer. During my presentation I will share several short video vignettes relevant to the cybernetic concepts I present. This includes footage of many first generation second-cyberneticians, as well as current members of the ASC and cybernetic communities.
I will present for 45 minutes and in the remaining 45 minutes explore with members of the audience how this model might fit with what they are tending to now.

thanks ALOT for sharing this! to many of us, it's an obvious fact that we must transform our modern societies vastly but even my progressive, politically active peers are pretty clueless of how to initiate such transformations. most read marx and/or take part in protests every now and then - and that's it. but as this "strategy" hasn't brought us anywhere for the last 100 years, i'm currently reading a bit about social change and now found this video here. and i think social cybernetics and complex systems theory may be the most important parts to the puzzle of social change theory.
