Charities Monday, January 29, 2001 Thomas Homer-Dixon Mankind is in trouble because our society is changing faster than our ability to develop ideas to cope, says professor Thomas Homer Dixon in his new book The Ingenuity Gap. "When we look back from the year 2100, I fear we will see a period when our creations technological, social, and ecological outstripped our understanding, and we lost control of our destiny." Homer-Dixon discussed this issue and others in a live chat with CANOE readers on Monday, Jan. 29. Joseph A. Monachino Do you think society has too much information, which is creating information overload, and because of this overload, we have too much information to decipher which will lead to loss of control of our destiny?

WHY ROOT CAUSES ARE IMPORTANT
By Thomas Homer-Dixon Submitted to the Toronto Globe and Mail
September 23, 2001 What we urgently need is subtlety of thought. We need to be able to make crucial distinctions, for instance between culpability and innocence, combatant and noncombatant, and the legitimate and illegitimate uses of force. If we make such distinctions, it's more likely that we'll guide ourselves successfully through this crisis. Sadly, though, subtlety is the first casualty of anger. The debate surrounding the events of September 11 is being clouded by sloppy logic and analysis in the haste to say something — anything — that makes sense of the situation. One issue that has become clouded is whether it's reasonable to talk about terrorism's "root causes." Some commentators declare that any discussion of root causes legitimizes terrorism by making excuses for it. Others suggest that people who want to examine root causes are arguing, essentially, that we shouldn't take punitive action because it won't work; we should act on the root causes instead. So, these commentators declare any consideration of root causes to be off limits. And they throw calumnies at anyone who raises these issues.

NOW COMES THE REAL DANGER
By Thomas Homer-Dixon
Toronto Globe and Mail, September 12 2001 The problem is going to get worse because of three trends, two technological and one social. New technologies are shifting power downward from large institutions and governments to small groups and individuals. Sometimes this is a good thing, as when the Internet potentially empowers citizens to better participate in democratic processes. But sometimes it's a bad thing, because some groups are malign, and because one technology that's diffusing downward is an extraordinary capacity to destroy. Another trend is the growing complexity and interdependence of our technological systems, which makes it more likely that damage to one system component will ramify outwards to other components. We've seen such knock-on effects in the globe's tightly wired financial system, when a crisis in a distant economy spreads like wildfire to others; we've even seen it in mundane infrastructure systems like electricity grids.

Vol. 2 No. 4, Winter 1998/1997 (#8) "The Plug" The Writer Reads: Stephen Dixon on Thomas Bernhard By Stephen Dixon did a coupla readings for my last novel, Gould , and at one of them a guy in the audience said "Were you influenced by Thomas Bernhard?" and I said "Why, because of the long paragraphs? To tell you the truth, I know he has a great reputation but I started two Bernhard books and I didn't think he did the long paragraph that well. They were repetitive, a bit formally and almost too rigidly written, and I often lost track of the story in them, and other things why I didn't like them, although what, I forget." "No," he said, "or maybe that, but also because Gould is a character in one of his books too, The Loser . I just thought it was too much of a coincidence that you hadn't read a lot of him and been influenced," and I said "Gould? That guy's name in his book is Gould? I thought I made up that forename," and he said "Glenn Gould," and I said "No, my character is Gould Bookbinder and he doesn't play the piano though I think he does love Bach above all composers and especially the composition Gouldberg Variations ," and he said "That's another thing. The first part of your novel is about variations of a single theme, abortions, right?or that's what you said," and I said, "So, another coincidence. But you made me interested; I'll read

a book review by Richard Seltzer, seltzer@samizdat.com www.samizdat.com Before you dive into Mason and Dixon , read John Barth's Sot-Weed Factor I'm a Pynchon fan. I anxiously awaited the publication of Mason and Dixon . But when it finally came out in 1997, I found I couldn't read it. Time after time, I tried, but I couldn't catch the flow of the story or the rhythm of the thoughts and kept having to back-track to try to figure out what was going on. But after finally having read Sot-Weed, the archaic spellings and the bizarre circumlocutions seemed natural. The historical setting of Mason and Dixon is in the mid 1700s, about 50 years after that of Sot-Weed . And geographically, too, they are close: Sot-Weed in England and Maryland, and Mason and Dixon primarily in England, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. There is also at least one deliberate allusion to Sot-Weed in Mason and Dixon excerpts from a fictitious poem entitled "The Pennsylvaniad" in mock imitation of "The Marlandiad" from Sot-Weed. But there the similarity ends.

Thomas Homer-Dixon:
The Ingenuity Gap [Random House, 2000; Vantage Canada, 2001]
Reviewed by Henry K van Eyken A review biased to connect the thinking of Thomas Homer-Dixon, political scientist and environmentalist, and that of Douglas Engelbart, one of the pioneers of the digital age. An introduction to Engelbart is found in "Douglas Engelbart's prescription for amplifying communal intelligence "The Ingenuity Gap" explores some of the world's urgent, complex environmental and societal problems; it examines what we make of them and our capability to deal with them. The book is treated here as a companion to Doug Engelbart's Colloquium, "The Unfinished Revolution II," held at Stanford University early in 2000. It really isn't intended to be, of course, but important lessons can be learned from it that bear on Engelbart's work. Well written, artistic and original in approach, the story has gained strength from interviews with experts and from academic reference material. Homer-Dixon's work marshals arts and science in a personal, spiritual quest: a search for the pieces of a puzzle that, once fitted together, ought give the author a picture of how we use our practical knowledge to adapt to rapid and complex change, and how that may help us survive and feel good about it. In Canada, the book received the 2001 Governor-General's Literary Award for Non-Fiction. "Because it's a puzzle, each piece plays an important part," the author writes, "and I must describe them in detail. They include recent theories of turbulent systems, of Earth's ecology and atmosphere, of the evolution of the human brain, of how we produce wealth, of the factors that shape and reshape our technologies, and of the forces behind war and terrorism." Mankind struggles with soaring complexity, unpredictability, pace of events, and severity of environmental stress. We can't always supply adequate ingenuity when and where needed; in fact, some vital problems appear to defy comprehension altogether. It is the difference between what ingenuity is required and what we can supply that Homer-Dixon calls the ingenuity gap.

"Looking back from the year 2100, we'll see a period when our creationstechnological, social, ecologicaloutstripped our understanding and we lost control of our destiny. And we will think: if onlyif only we'd had the ingenuity and will to prevent some of that. I am convinced that there is still time to muster that ingenuitybut the hour is late." Thomas Homer-Dixon From the Back Cover "This remarkable work, based on an impressive amount of scholarship, travel, and interviews, is the most persuasive forecast of the twenty-first century I have seen. Homer-Dixon looks beyond the miracle of technological and economic growth to the vast complexities of the real world that will increasingly put even the most advanced societies at risk."

http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/
Thomas Pynchon is a reclusive American novelist possessed by a certain eclectic genius, an architect of literary structures that range from immense tesseracts to tiny, perfect gems. Charting a dizzying course through the worlds hidden in the curve between the blue depths of Absolute Zero and the ineffable awareness of the Universe Entire, his works explore the vast space between Burroughs' shlupp! and Joyce's yes. Author of only a quintet of novels and a few short stories, his creations have been hailed as some of the most original works to have been transmuted from the decay of the twentieth century.
Pynchon's style of writing is unique, electrifying, and complex. A potential map to self-awareness as well as an intricate puzzle-box, this postmodern Deadalus has paradoxically constructed his verbal mazes not to confound, but to reveal. Simply put, his iconoclastic prose is both gnostic in intention and delightful in execution. Like the labyrinthine chains of DNA coiled in the nucleus of life, it is often dense and convoluted in structure, but the encoded message is shimmering, elusive, and profound. And, like life itself, it presents equal measures of beauty and obscenity, awareness and obfuscation, comedy and tragedy.
The Illustrated Complete Summary of
Gravity's Rainbow Filled with copious Flash animations and original artwork, Dr Daw outlines and summarizes Pynchon's great novel.

ILLUSTRATION BY GARY TAXALI
By Thomas Pynchon
Henry Holt, 773 pages the all-American lost poet Delmore Schwartz best remembered for the proverb "even paranoids have real enemies" also deserves credit for the Caffeine Theory of the Enlightenment. By this account, the Age of Reason owed its brilliance, energy and encyclopedic ambition to the arrival, in Europe, of the java bean. Schwartz meant it as a joke. Yet cultural historians have spent many happy years researching the economic, social, literary and political (if not gastrointestinal) consequences of the coffeehouse for the rising bourgeoisie. And the example of Voltaire who sucked down a few dozen cups a day whenever possible has long seemed to me to clinch the case. Besides coffee, these Yankees wolf down sugary pastries and puff away on tobacco. (A few pages earlier, Mason and Dixon have sampled a little of George Washington's hemp crop.) The narrator wonders, "May unchecked consumption of all these modern substances at the same time, a habit without historical precedent, upon these shores be creating a new sort of European? less respectful of the forms that have previously held Society together, more apt to speak his mind, or hers, upon any topic he chooses, and to defend his position as violently as need be?" Let's see now. Fervent consumption of mood-altering substances ... a certain reckless vigor in the expression of opinion ... pothead humor ... It all sounds rather like the '60s of more recent memory. And that (as old-timey Communists used to say, and militia folk still do) is no accident!
