<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Dear Gordana, thanks for your thought. Of course! But working on a larger archive is much more work than our personal GRTD, so it will depend on what kind of resources can be mobilized to go for it. I'm copying this to Peter Tudenham, who has been involved with the archive work of ISSS/ASC in my memory. Actually, a while ago I asked FIS members about "what are the most important 20% of content of Informatics that we can include in the development of the SCI-101 online course," a number of friends here suggested some keywords/key phrases/key ideas. That is for the ongoing Oxford Project, which involves developing a core textbook plus a SCI-GPT robot coach/teacher of SIC basics (SCI: Systemics-Cybernetics-Informatics trinity in one course).</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Please let me know if any of you would like to join these two projects.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Best regards, Jason</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Oct 27, 2025 at 9:37 AM Gordana Dodig-Crnkovic <<a href="mailto:gordana.dodig-crnkovic@mdu.se">gordana.dodig-crnkovic@mdu.se</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-56742740964232113">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt">We are all thinkers here. As our wisdom grows, our aging process also develops. The sudden loss of our friend Karl prompt me to forward you the following Call for Discussants on Project Get-Ready-To-Die, previously
spread in the Club of Remy. So far we have had two sessions recorded, and this effort will continue. I hope you can give it serious consideration:<u></u><u></u></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt">During the Covid-19 challenging time, I had discussed a joking but serious project with Stuart Umpleby - how do we prepare for death, or how to organize our legacy well before "the close" arrives?
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt">Since the Club of Remy started on February 14, 2020, we have had many interesting discussions around a wide range of "important & urgent" topics. (348 videos and 467 subscribers in our YouTube channel so far.)
Unfortunately, during these past years, two of our very active members have passed away: our beloved Professors Klaus Krippendorff (1932-2022) and Loet Leydesdorff (1948-2023), both of whom left wonderful insights and wisdom through our meetings. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt">In an earlier period, when my training/consulting company, WINTOP Group, was operating inside China, Professor Russell Ackoff (1919-2009), who was our advisor, also left us. A bit more fortunate in his case,
we translated one of his books into Chinese, "Ackoff's Best" (English: Wiley & Sons, 1999; Chinese: Shanghai Sanlian, 2007). He was overjoyed when we presented the Chinese book to him in his office, piled high with books, in Philadelphia, two years before
he passed away.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt">These incidents led me to the idea that it would be nicer if both Klaus and Loet could have compiled their own "Klaus' Best" and "Loet's Best" collections of writings before they passed away. During the daunting
COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-2021, I asked myself the question, "What would be included in my 'Hu's Best' collection?" The departure of Klaus and Loet later confirmed to me the importance of this question for all thinkers, so it has become more and more serious.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt">So now, this is a formal Call for Participation/Call for Discussants, for "Project Get-Ready-To-Die" - it does not mean that we will die sooner, it just means that getting ready is better than being unprepared.
The goal of the project is straightforward:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt">1- Going through all your writings so far, published or non-published, and select a total of 300 pages (well, for more talkative colleagues, 400 pages is negotiable), and assemble them into an eBook named
"X's Best" - X is your name - using "Ackoff's Best" as a template;<u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt">2- From these 300 pages of your insights, choose 54 of your most brilliant quotes to be printed on a set of poker decks, so in the future they can be sold at a souvenir shop named "The Earthings' Wisdom" on
Mars or even other planets.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt">3- Back on Earth here, somewhere in the future, you might have a tomb if you choose to have a tome, then there will be a tombstone. So, among those 54 of your important quotes, which one would you like to
be carved on that tombstone? It is better that you choose it yourself instead of letting another individual decide for you.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt">That is it, 1, 2, 3, you're ready! Of course, you can continue to modify and update until the day you decide or are forced to give up. To summarize, use this number as a memory tag: 300-54-1. It means your
most important 300 pages, your 54 quotes, and the one tombstone carving that you prefer.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt">Now the real good news: Our new member of the Oxford Project, Leo Knuth, an IT guru and AI activist living in China, co-founder of AI-assisted thought-organizing platform Dessix.io, is willing to help the
participants of this project with easy-to-use tools. Thank you, Leo! Now the sounds-difficult task of the above 1-2-3 becomes much easier. That's the point of this Call for Participants. If you are in, please send me an email with your questions to Leo about
how to organize your chaotic hard drive folders into this 300-page document with 54 quotes and one stone carving, and your readiness to hand over your legacy to the new generation of Earthlings and future Marcians. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
