Google “10 to the 100th” Entry for 2012
Real World Application
The following synopsis of “Mechanical-Social Integration” and the political philosophy of “Universalism” demonstrate what these concepts look like when delivered in a “real world” application. It is useful to identify the format of what people want to know in the sequence and brevity they want to know it. It is unfortunate however, that every solution Google identified in the contest I entered was effectively a status quo capitalist exceptionalistic “blame and punish the individual” solution. Pepsi held a similar contest soon thereafter, which actually stated in the rules that one couldn’t offer a solution that in any way attacked the integrity of religion. Yikes. Religion and capitalism are alive and well, and are being highly integrated in any solutions that are popularly entertained by corporate America, including promoted with the public. Clearly, solutions are not going to come from status quo government, corporate America, or academics.
The following is my current entry (2012) into Google’s “10 to the 100th” contest, which however, doesn’t quite conform to the previous word count restrictions. Google isn’t actually currently holding this contest, but after having participated in it when they did a couple of years ago, I find updating my submission a useful exercise that aids in performing a concise delivery of the thesis of “Mechanical-Social Integration” and the political philosophy of “Universalism”.

Identify a Theory of Everything for Social Science that designs social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
Describe your idea in more depth.
Homo sapiens demonstrate an evolutionary strategy of genetic and cultural evolution represented by sociobiology as gene-culture theory. I demonstrate that the cultural component is enabled by artificial selection and logic to produce benefit for the human condition by providing increasing biological unification with the physics-governed natural hierarchy to design cause and effect in our species favor. Examples include organic fire, the wheel, agrarian surplus, animal husbandry, plant grafting, gene splicing, science, technology, nuclear energy, spaceflight, and artificial intelligence.
Artificial selection and logic design cause and effect in our species favor, which has produced benefit spanning organic fire to spaceflight, including the high quality science-based information required to function in the technological age. Establishing this evidence, causality, and precedent identifies that logically, the progressive evolution of political philosophy requires scientific methodology that designs society in unification with the physics-governed natural hierarchy and cause and effect in our species favor. The quintessential example is to defeat manmade yet physics-governed global warming in a timely manner.
This effort requires majority systems-based unification with scientific social design, and the conventional way to achieve that is through Keynesian economics, regulation, and progressive taxation to produce a secular-progressive middle class with environmental values. Social polarization through religion and economic stratification through growth-model laissez faire capitalism, each prevents required majority science-based and systems-based unification. Truthful knowledge as power can only replace violence and money to design peace, equality, and sustainability when we are all on the same page of science. We must now identify democratic government through the highest quality information in the democracy of knowledge, in unification with the physics-governed natural hierarchy, with logic and reason. This is identified as a “Democracy of Science”, which uses the theory of Mechanical-Social Integration to make truthful sustainable choices.
If cause and effect qualifies our actions through unification with the physics-governed natural hierarchy to produce predictive positive consequence, and through division to produce predictive negative consequence (the thesis of Mechanical-Social Integration), science has identified the universal Standard Candle of Physics, represented as The Single Standard of Evaluation of Physics, which is quantifiable, repeatable, and the measure required to engineer predictive social science, or a Theory of Everything for Social Science.
What problem or issue does your idea address?
Every major problem facing the human condition is addressed through reductionism to physics, and Mechanical-Social Integration.
State of Nature Theory: Biology is forced to evolve in an ignorant terrestrial microcosm, where sociobiology identifies Homo sapiens have evolved instincts that address Hunting and Gathering tribes of 25 to 150 members that focus on short-term solutions and selfish individualism. These instincts are incompatible with a population of 7 billion using technology that has long-term effects on the entire worldwide natural environment. It is now mission critical for Homo sapiens to design society in unification with the natural hierarchy that governs our existence with physics consequence, i.e. manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Natural selection produces evolutionary dead-ends, and has allowed every species on Earth to go extinct in ignorance of the cosmological and biological processes that in fact produced them. The ignorant circumstance that biology is forced to evolve through requires a polar opposite solution through artificial selection if we wish to design society in unification with the physics-governed natural hierarchy and achieve sustainability.
Liberty: Philosophically, liberty is the ability to identify and choose the truth. Scientifically, reductionism to physics identifies that liberty must design society in unification with the physics-governed natural hierarchy, to design cause and effect in our species favor and defeat manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Reductionism to physics identifies that a definition of liberty that enables the falsehood of religion and the damage of growth-model laissez faire capitalism through the same definition, which it currently does, cannot possibly be scientifically correct.
Religion: Science cannot peacefully coexist with religion through the obsolete construct of deism, or poorly qualified freedom of speech and democracy. Reductionism to physics identifies that the subjective construction of religion designs social division with the requirements of the physics-governed natural hierarchy, and negative consequence. Specifically, faith-based reasoning and a supernatural afterlife hierarchy are illogical, easily exploitable, and cause physical damage. In addition, science can provide a belief system and ethics: the scientific “how” of existence through cause and effect quantifies the philosophical “why” of existence with science-based purpose, motivation, and “ascension” through sustainable progressive evolution.
Economy and Energy Policy: The growth model of economy through laissez faire capitalism enabled by fossil fuels is now over, because it is incompatible with maintaining the delicately balanced nonlinear feedback loops of the ecosystem. Homo sapiens require a new, sustainable, steady-state model of economy and energy policy, which Mechanical-Social Integration provides through Reverse Engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth.
If your idea were to become a reality, who would benefit the most and how?
Homo sapiens as a species would benefit, by identifying for the first time in human history through reductionism to physics objective definitions of concepts, institutions, and sustainable social design. Mechanical-Social Integration identifies the Darwinian fitness of a technological civilization through systems-based unification with the physics-governed natural hierarchy, to design cause and effect in our species favor, and defeat manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
Darwinian fitness for “biology with technology” now requires the efforts of a unified objective physical system, thinking and acting in an objective cognitive relationship with the physics-governed natural hierarchy and ecosystem that actually produced us and governs us. The ecosystem only speaks and understands the singular truth through the single language of physics. Until Homo sapiens also learn to speak and understand the singular truth through the single language of physics, we attempt the impossible, which is to consider ourselves autonomous from the very natural environment that produced and governs us with cause and effect consequence.
What are the initial steps required to get this idea off the ground?
Sentient biology designs unification with the governing mechanical universe and positive consequence quickly by defining concepts, institutions, and functions through science with matching natural explanations for a naturally occurring physics-governed environment, and through matching prioritized social relationships in unification with governing mechanical cause and effect.
Repurposing liberty away from false, damaging, unscientific, unregulated individualism.
Repurposing an economic system away from unscientific unregulated growth and profit through Keynesian economics, regulation, and progressive taxation, while moving towards steady-state science-based socialism, which identifies Reverse Engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth.
Repurposing our belief system away from a supernatural god-governed afterlife hierarchy that must extend beyond the grave to provide ethics for a god-favored nation, economy, and military, towards the natural physics-governed hierarchy that provides purpose, ethics, and motivation through unification with the natural hierarchy to design cause and effect in our species favor.
A polar opposite worldwide conversion away from church-state religio-economic systems, towards sustainable, steady-state, science-based social design.
Describe the optimal outcome should your idea be selected and successfully implemented. How would you measure it?
Optimal Outcome: Produce a sustainable relationship between Homo sapiens and the delicately balanced nonlinear feedback loops of the ecosystem that continued to evolve progressively.
Measurement: Mechanical-Social Integration in unification with the Single Standard of Evaluation of Physics is supremely qualified to provide a system of science-based quantification, including predictive ability to engineer sustainable social design. A proven history of success through artificial selection and logic demonstrates that biological unification with the physics-governed natural hierarchy designs benefit for the human condition. However, only when we reverse engineer Spaceship Earth from the Single Standard of Evaluation of Physics - where the laws of physics become the laws of manmade reality - is the circle of life between microcosmic ignorant terrestrial evolution and macrocosmic intelligent cultural evolution in unification with the physics-governed natural hierarchy completed. Only by speaking the singular truth through the single language of physics can we achieve social and environmental sustainability, and therefore progressive evolution.
