How might we co-create synergies between first principles and simple rules to cultivate equity meta-governance to prevent the political abuses of power?
How might we collaborate to co-create a fair-free-flourishing-future to benefit for all on a regenerating planet?
Equity is the humanitarian virtue of fairness. Equity governance is about negotiating fair rules, fair games, and fair plays to assure fair opportunities and fair rewards to benefit all on a regenerating planet.
Equity meta-governance redresses the meta-crisis of systemic power abuse dynamics that sets up our poly-crisis of self-inflicted wicked problems, and our impeding poly-collapse from living beyond planetary boundaries. Our collective ego-shadows and the dark sides of human nature are the deep state drivers of our meta-crisis.
The Rhodium rule for equity meta-governance is: be fair and kind to all people, Mother earth, nature, animals, plants and soil.
Equity meta-governance enables the launching of Equity Moonshot: co-design and build an equitable, regenerative, and sustainable future.
Equity Moonshot is about playing the long game: co-designing and building an equitable, regenerative, and sustainable future.
The meme for social capital is: to Love, truth-seeking, and the pursuit of equity.
The meme of individual freedom is: to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Why do equity muses ask ethical questions about equity?
As equity muses, we are a new kind of transformational change agent archetype: part jester, magician, hectic, and holy fool.
As Socratic Sherpas, we ask ethical questions about how to collaborate on redressing the meta-crisis of systemic power abuse dynamics that sets up our poly-crisis of self-inflicted wicked problems, and our impeding poly-collapse from living beyond planetary boundaries.
Wicked problems are complex in that they have no single, simple, or final solutions: no either-or answers. Wicked problems are not per se solvable, such as rigged neoliberal systems designed to escalate inequities.
How might we develop first principles and simple rules for equity matter?
As catalytic change agents, we guide people in developing first principles and simple rules. First principles and simple rules are related concepts that are essential for putting equity meta-governance into practice.
First principles are in the background that focus on understanding the root causes and rectifying systemic dysfunction. They guide the grassroots process of developing simple rules to solve wicked problems.
Simple rules are in the foreground to guide thinking, decision-making and action.

First principles arise from meta and macro backgrounds
The process of developing first principles evolves from developing a deeper understanding of how systemic influences shape the interdependencies of our wicked problems.
First principles incorporate ontological perspectives: mindful ways of awareness about being, becoming, thinking, feeling, and perceiving. These principles guide how we use complexity, systems, and human-centered design thinking to solve our wicked problems.
How might we, as equity muses, create the pre-conditions and collaborative learning experiences of open-mindedness that enable people to:
Cultivate self-awareness and mindful understanding of how our beliefs, biases, assumptions, perspectives, ways of thinking, and different priorities in value systems limit our capabilities to solve wicked problems?
Develop as open-minded, truth-seeking, virtuous free-thinkers who work collaboratively on co-designing and building an equitable, regenerative, and sustainable future?
The development of first principles involves iteratively zooming out, in, and out to understand how the interconnectedness and disconnections between ecosystems influence each other, for better or worse.
The first principles incorporate meta and macro perspectives. These perspectives are essential for developing the ethical governance and moral influences needed to cultivate the integrity of politics, religion, legislation, and public policies to serve and empower the people. First-principle thinking provides ethical guard rails for developing the moral courage and reasoning to co-create high-level innovative solutions.
How might we, as equity muse trainers, leaders, and learning designers:
Use the community virtues of equity and equality to put ethical guard rails on the individual values of liberty and freedom to navigate the ethical dilemmas?
The above question calls for maximizing the upsides of virtues and values while minimizing their downsides.
Co-create human systems that nurture, cultivate, and exponentiate virtuous actions to prevent, preempt, and minimize wicked problems, such as escalating equities?
First principle thinking sets the stage for developing simple rules to guide people on their ethical learning journeys about how to make virtuous decisions and moral actions to launch Equity Moonshot and solve our wicked problems.
How might we mobilize the ethical power of virtues, first principles, and simple rules to build moral movements to catalyze seismic shifts in transforming mindsets and systems?
This calls for cultivating glocal innovation hubs and ecosystems, virtually and/or locally in-person, to generate the network power for serving the greater good.
First rules arise from the micro and meso foregrounds
First principles set the parameters for creating 3-5 simple rules contextualized for addressing dilemmas, causes, quests, challenges, and wicked problems.
Simple rules provide ethical guidance on how to collaborate on solving wicked problems. They are short, understandable imperative statements. Grounded in the enlightened experiences of virtues and wise practices, these rules provide a transparent, agreed-upon framework to simplify complexity into initiating moral actions to do good.
Equity governance enables the virtuous practices of assuring fairness
The primary principles and simple rules of equity governance set the ethical norms and moral directions for virtuous collaborative actions.
How might we co-develop scalable learning platforms, ethical processes, and moral practices to implement first principles and simple rules needed to cultivate equity governance and launch Equity Moonshot?
Equity Moonshot is a humanitarian-technological metaphor: create synergies between indigenous and modern wisdom to ethically guide the deployment of digital learning platforms for exponentiating positive social impacts.
First Principles: integrate ethical norms and virtuous transformations with systemic, complexity, and human-centered design thinking.
