OS
0 1 2 is both a playful and a descriptive title signifying
a meme
that is spreading worldwide via the internet.
This
meme has now spread to you via an online memetic process,
and now you are a link in a network that spans all over the
world. The exact number of online users spreading this meme
is impossible to determine, however online records suggest
a figure around 50,000.
OS
0 1 2 is often quite tricky and elusive to understand at first.
OS 0 1 2 has a logical system that can be taught, but it’s
intuitive side must be caught.
The
letters ‘O’ and ‘S’
contain more than one meaning. In the playful sense, OS stands
for 'Operating
System', as in ‘an Operating System
for Human Being’, merely referencing the ironic
twist between binary code for computers (0/1)
and a natural ‘ternary’ code of semantics/meaning
for complex and novel human being (0/1/2).
Ha
ha.
‘O’
and ‘S’ can also signify ‘Objective’
and ‘Subjective’, as OS
0 1 2 references the play between object and subject,
or the perceived and the perceiver.
It
can also stand for 'Open
Source', which is a reference to the genesis of this
idea, how it came into being, and how it continues to be refined.
OS
0 1 2 at first appears to outline the formulation of a dialectic
designed for online communication as well as a method of arriving
at effective conclusions to the problems that plague humanity
in the dawning of the 21st century. A system of logic and
creative thinking that embraces basic human nature and all
points of view into a simple and commonly shared language.
What
is extraordinary and unique about this dialectic is it's framework
for allowing both sides in an ideological struggle to logically
and rationally win in the Conflict of Idea, thus potentially
resolving all conflict, including and hopefully violent conflict
and war.
Warning,
this idea is highly infectious, even if you don't agree with
it. People find themselves obsessing on the magnitude to which
they disagree with this idea years after they read it for
the first time.
OS 0 1 2 BASIC formed via the conflict
of idea on the internet by many hundreds of people, and
in this regard is essentially understood as an imperfect document
constantly refining itself through it’s own set of rational
rules.
OS 0 1 2 BASIC was created in a truly organic
and viral fashion via an online discussion network with no
singular or central leaders and heaps of spontaneous contributors.
As the original volunteer to this project, I can attest to
the truth value of this. No one person created it, it formed
via a life of it's own in what appeared to be a very serendipitous
environment beginning December 21, 2002, and lasting until
the invasion began March 20th, 2003.
Since then it has been constantly refining and updating. It
is never quite perfect yet it is constantly perfecting and
exacting.
Both
you and I are co-creators of this meme, and in this regard,
you or anyone can change OS 0 1 2 BASIC (wiki
coming soon) and make it your own, it is an open source/public
domain *meme* that defaults to the most refined and elegant
idea that exalts win win and pure rational thinking.
Since
OS 0 1 2 is only a collection of TRUE
and RATIONAL ideas regarding our basic relationship,
communication, then anyone can argue a true and rational idea
into the dialectic.
Any
idea less fit than Bucky's "total success for all
without disadvantaging any" objectivity is unable
to compete inside of it's razor like logic and intuitive methodology.
Sometimes,
people on the internet begin to think OS 0 1 2 is something
like a political tool, Dialectical Materialism, philosophy
or metaphysics.
OS 0 1 2 is, in essence, NOT philosophy or metaphysics, nor
is it a political tool and, contrary to what some suggest,
it is NOT Marxist Dialectical Materialism.
Being a dialectic, it will show harmony or resonance with
ALL forms of dialectic, but as document it's evolution was
independent of those previous dialectical models.
OS
0 1 2 evolves a strategy for the individual a method of understanding
knowledge and idea immediately and historically.
I
think OS 012 in application is quite similar
to Game
Theory, a branch of mathematics (made popular by
Neumann and Nash). It structures communication online in a
tit
for tat strategy and deconstructs online written
discourse into three objectively viewable categories of true,
false, and mystery, symbolized by the numbers 0, 1, and 2.
It sets forth a rational foundational argument that human
beings are not ideas, and creates a framework to navigate
the conflict of idea until the tit for tat methodology of
online internet communication exalts into a non zero sum perceptional
discussion with both sides winning, exalting the conclusion
that human being is not in conflict, ideas are.
OS
012 is both an intuitive and creative, logical and rational
dialectic for the internet that perfectly addresses the real
conflict of idea, the conflict over defining 'mystery'.
According to the theory, this 'hidden variable' in perception,
if not clearly defined in public discourse, will eventually
come to wreck havoc in our global communication and understanding
simply because we confuse a natural state of 'true' with a
natural state of 'false' by not allowing a place for 'mystery'
or 'both true and false at once'.
OS
0 1 2 appears to be a novel and natural way to sift
through the bullsh*t of language/semantics in the chaotic
multi-media driven, information overload world of the 21st
Century. Human Being is now exposed to an historically large
amount of information on a daily basis. What is true? What
is false? How can we know for certain?
Think
about it. Imagine how different history would be playing out
now if politicians a few years back had to argue the existence
of Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, now perceived as false,
(2) was instead an honest mystery (0) as opposed
to an empirical truth (1), and had to publicly make clear,
on the record, the distinctions regarding the issue of their
existence into this framework to make war.
What
would happen if those discussions, by law, had to happen online
so all points of view in the democracy could asses the process
openly?
What
if there exists a process, a simple rational framework for
online discussion, that would ensure an eventual win win solution,
strategy, and conclusion if all sides simply do nothing other
than continue the discussion inside of the framework?
OS
0 1 2 IS THAT FRAMEWORK.

Many
OS 0 1 2 users, myself included, in the past have used theatrics
and tricks to explain or introduce/test the subtle dynamics
of how the dialectic works. Part of 'getting' OS 0 1 2, especially
in the beginning, is seeing and finding/distinguishing the
inclusive joke, the tongue in cheek 'viral marketing' aspects
of OS 0 1 2 BASIC's presentation, making
note of the obnoxious human being (Bubblefish
and Tumbleman on BBS forums) as messenger as opposed
to the distinctive rational difference in the idea, and then
decode and debunk the presentations of OS 0 1 2 using the
methodology laid out in OS 0 1 2.
I
was the person who found themselves at the center of reception
of this peculiar project quite unintentionally. I found the
creative/theatrical element intriguing and inspiring, the
logical component complementary to objective thinking, and
the greater humanitarian scope profound.
My
involvement came about in this project simply as an interest
in protesting war, especially the invasion of Iraq on the
internet before it happened in 2002/2003.
I
was certainly not alone in this endeavor. Years later, with
the benefit of 20/20 hind site, millions of us can know that
we truly 'got it right' regarding the War in Iraq. We were
certainly less equiped than the president of the united states
when it came to evaluating intelligence, so how could any
of us know for certain?
This
is very significant to consider.
Due
to the internet, millions of us average citizens were able
to access more information regarding the dubious truth value
of W.M.D. in Iraq as presented by propaganda than the President
of the United States.
We
needed no other government agency other than each other online
to determine the falsifiability of intelligence at that time.
This was before the phenomena of blogging, Myspace, Youtube,
Facebook, WIKIPEDIA and Twitter.
I began in late 2002 to argue against the invasion and rush
to war on internet discussion groups. I was new to the phenomenon
of online didscussion and the immediacy of the experience
was very alluring to me. It was also much more effective than
holding up a sign on Hollywood and Vine.
I
also became inspired by the idea of applying the design philosophy
proposed by famous inventor of the Geodesic Dome, Buckminister
Fuller to the actual discussion and media delivering it.
Bucky's
ideas of 'The
World Game' and his concepts of ‘Synergetics’
(few people are aware that Bucky coined the term long before
'synergy' became a buzzword in Hollywood or High End Capitalism)
inspired me deeply at that time, and I began to throw Bucky’s
ideas of 'Total success for all without disadvantaging
any' into a heated mix of politics,
religion, war, and philosophy regarding war and the war on
terrorism.
From
that ideological synthesis, this project formed on it's own
nature, to which I can attest was quite a shocking experience.
It was as if I encountered an active and vast idea that was
the output of all of us contributing to it.
highintelligence.com
remains, and will remain, an attempt to further administer,
advance, and apply this dialectic/strategy as a basic tool
to govern ourselves as a global society, collectively and
individually, in a conscious, intelligent, humorous, successful
and most importantly in an honest manner.

The
HUMAN
NETWORK
An
online system of administration/social networking that transcends
our current political and global paradigm.
Ok,
so what is all of this for? To what end? I suggest OS 0 1
2 is a precursor of an idea that will eventually lead to what
I and a few others call 'The
Human Union', and others call 'The
Human Network'
which includes a global
administrative system/P2P Network run via the internet
by global citizens (us) using win win or non zero sum economic
strategies to resolve all problems of human resource and administrative
dilemma.
OS
0 1 2, or something like it, could be an interactive discussion
strategy that would be used between agents, players, and users
to troubleshoot and create 'agenda' for win win change.
If
such a process could exist, would it not make sense to use
a win win process for all administrative decision making?
The
HUMAN NETWORK/OS 0 1 2 is a call for humanity to build, via
the internet, the first honest method of administering ourselves
that transcends the human political process.
We
all know politics does not work so why bother with progressing
the problem to find the solution?
Since
this framework already exists in a very rational and logical
form, the potential for something like HUMAN NETWORK is very
real.
OS 0 1 2 and the HUMAN NETWORK is a defiant anti-thesis
to the Global War On Terrorism.
Our
rational choice may be building something like Human Network,
or continuing with the War on Terrorism.
In
the conflict of idea, we can see that these two ideas are
in conflict and eventually one will out compete the other.
One
of the tenets of OS 0 1 2 BASIC suggests that inside of a
rational environment for discussion, win win ideas out compete
win lose ideas in the struggle for survival and dominance.
OS
0 1 2/Human Network is a thoughtful, rational counter-argument
that addresses the objective problems we all collectively
face as a species inside of a new and dynamic framework that
is rational and non offensive.
Non Zero Sum economics exalting into an 'all sides win' foreign
policy. Complete and utter world peace. Billionaire ascension.
True success for all of humanity, completing the dream of
inventor and designer R. Buckminster Fuller who made these
suggestions almost a generation ago at the United Nations.
Bucky
noted that for the first time in history, due to rapid advancements
in technology, we now have the potential to actually create
it. True World Peace and a successful global society is no
longer a lofty goal or wishy wishy ideal, but a rational and
doable suggestion, worthy of our noble attempt.
There
exists simply two utopian visions competing for rational acceptance.
We can accept the utopian vision of George W. Bush and his
administration and any global vision like it, or the vision
of Bucky Fuller/World Game/OS 0 1 2/ Human Network.
Which
would you honestly prefer?
Bucky Fuller saw something like The Human Network and said
that could be developed in 10 years, and he said that was
before there was an internet.
Let
me repeat that once more.
According
to designer Buckminister Fuller, creating a one for all global
administrative system that insures wealth and success
for all global participants would take about 10 years to build,
and he said that before there was an internet.
10
years? With such a grand possibility in scope, why not immediately
begin to divest our attention and resources into immediately
creating it and what 'idea' stands in the way of humanity
attempting to create such a network?
This
may read like a flaky idea to some. For many people, these
ideas sound crazier than any idea one could ever encounter,
more strange and bizarre than Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster,
more odd taboo than Raelian transsexual liberation, more absurd
than Nazi ideology.
However,
this MASTER MEME is catching on, and spreading
word of mouth via online discussions, blogs, and emails to
far away places such as North Korea, China, Iran, Pakistan,
Serbia, India, Russia, and Indonesia and over 65 other countries
worldwide.
A young a Israeli soldier, inspired by the idea, copied it
into Hebrew years ago and rushed through security to place
it into the hands of the Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, on two
different occasions. Talk about ideas spreading!
OS
0 1 2/HUMAN NETWORK, as fantastic as it may sound, is an idea
whose time has come.
