Война и самоорганизация

Abstract

The world is currently at a bifurcation point associated with the humanitarian and technological revolution. The virtualization of reality takes place, and this opens up opportunities for a new generation of wars. New scenarios of self-organization in society are currently playing a fundamental role. Their comprehension and use presents a serious interdisciplinary challenge, the answer to which may determine the future. Humanitarian culture must quickly enough “catch up” with natural science. This will require new ethics, principles, prohibitions, concepts, and a language that binds rather than divides civilizations. The paper analyses in detail the correlation between organization of self-organization in wars and in the course of preparation for them. It demonstrates that the development of technologies and the emergence of many “redundant people”, for whom there is no place in the field of production and management, leads to the “virtualization” of public life and wars, in particular. In addition, self-organization predetermines the vector of development of military technologies, which in the foreseeable future will lead to a situation where a person will not be needed on the battlefield. A new reality requires a new ethics, culture, other prohibitions and international agreements. This is what can stop the slide towards the next global conflict and the New Middle Ages. This is one of the key issues in Russia’s contemporary humanitarian knowledge. The theory of self-organization shows that at the bifurcation points, where the path to the future is determined, local actions can have global consequences. Local actions now determine whether we can effectively carry out self-organization in the world of Russia, so as not to go to the past, not to repeat what other countries have already been through, but to break into the future.
