I’m writing this on what would have been the 80th birthday of John Lennon, having just watched Willie Nelson and sons’ rendition of Watching the Wheels and the Sepp Osley Dear John Tribute concert, to propose a celebration next year of the 50th Anniversary of IMAGINE, perhaps the greatest song ever composed.

I recognize I’m riding on the shoulders of giants who have come before me. What I’ve envisioned here is only a dim reflection of all that’s inspired this initiative. As a first draft it will fall short of what’s ultimately required to guide the creation of a highly functional Regenerative AI. Therefore it comes with an open invitation to you to help refine a guiding regeneratively-intelligent protocol.

Please contact me directly at khence@icloud.com. Thank you.

indigeneity

(Noun) the quality of being indigenous

Usage: In a similar way, “indigeneity” is derived from “indigenous” which means born or produced naturally in a land or region; native or belonging naturally to (the soil, region, etc.),” from indu, an old Latin root meaning “within” (like the Greek …, endon) and gignere meaning “to beget.”

Regenerative AI

ART (Advanced Regenerative Technology) for EARTH

Our Regenerative AI project will be an open and transparent collaboration between industry, local and regional governments, universities, institutes and NGOs to produce a new genre of secure decentralized AI-augmented Advanced Regenerative Technology (ART) that will serve two principle functions:

1) Broadly apply nature’s co-operating principles, natural intelligence and indigenous wisdom to protect and enhance Earth’s life-support systems and regenerative capacity; and

2) Grow regenerative cultural capital within a new economic model and guiding narrative in which all life thrives.

The Threat

The most dire threat to life on Earth is business…

Weaving the vibrant twin strands of analog and digital worlds we can bring healing to the great rift between humanity and our sustaining home planet — merging ages-old indigenous knowledge and earthly sensibility with the modern advanced tools of boldly dreaming bioneers and billionaires — to catalyze a globally restorative regenerative culture and economy.
