Ernst Rüdin (April 19, 1874 - October 22, 1952), was a Swiss psychiatrist, geneticist and eugenicist. Rüdin was born in St. Gallen, Switzerland. He is known as one of the fathers[original research?] of racial hygiene.

Excerpt:
Racial hygiene (also called negative eugenics) were early twentieth century state sanctioned policies by which certain groups of individuals were allowed to procreate and others not, with the expressed purpose of promoting certain characteristics deemed to be particularly desirable. The most noteworthy example is the extensive implementation of racial hygiene policies by Nazi Germany but similar policies were implemented throughout Europe and North America.
The concept of racial "purity" was developed by Arthur de Gobineau. De Gobineau argued that race created culture, and that "impure" "race-mixing" leads to chaos. Racial hygiene was historically tied to traditional notions of public health, but usually with an enhanced emphasis on heredity. Francis Galton began work in 1869 to find a statistical science of heredity which could encourage voluntary care in selecting partners, and in 1883 introduced the term "eugenics" for this science, but in the early 20th century a eugenics movement adopted ideas of Mendelian genetics and promoted negative eugenics to prevent those thought to be unsuitable from having children, and eugenics was misused to legitimise policies of racial hygene.

Ploetz was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1936 for his warning against the biological effects of war on human reproduction. In 1937 he joined the Nazi party.[2]

Excerpt:
Joseph Arthur Comte de Gobineau (14 July 1816, Ville-d'Avray, Hauts-de-Seine – 13 October 1882, Turin) was a French aristocrat, novelist and man of letters who became famous for developing the racialist theory of the Aryan master race in his book An Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races (1853–1855). De Gobineau is credited as being the father of modern racial demography.

Excerpt:
The elite cannot possibly accomplish this parental and constitutional coup legally, due to obvious rational arguments, so they will require powerful cultural shaping methods employed through Mind Control over generations to manipulate the irrational subconscious mind. Enter Tavistock. The youth of the land will be encouraged by means of rock music and drugs to rebel against their parents and the status quo, thus undermining and eventually destroying the family unit. This process will favor war, violence and bureaucrats over parents. Ultimately, the "Sun King" power system will then be put in place where wrongful authority will function as a psychologically blinding authority, allowed to carry out all atrocities fully invisibly. In this regard, the Committee commissioned Tavistock Institute to prepare a blueprint as to how this could be achieved. Tavistock directed Stanford Research to undertake the work under the direction of Professor Willis Harmon. This work later became known as the "Aquarian Conspiracy".---Targets of the Illuminati and the Committee of 300 By Dr. John Coleman.

Excerpt:
Marilyn Ferguson (April 5, 1938 – October 19, 2008) was an American author, editor and public speaker, best known for her 1980 book The Aquarian Conspiracy and its affiliation with the New Age Movement in popular culture.
A founding member of the Association of Humanistic Psychology[citation needed], Ferguson published and edited the well-regarded science newsletter Brain/Mind Bulletin from 1975 to 1996. She eventually earned numerous honorary degrees, served on the board of directors of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and befriended such diverse figures of influence as inventor and theorist Buckminster Fuller, spiritual author Ram Dass, Nobel Prize-winning chemist Ilya Prigogine and billionaire Ted Turner. Ferguson's work also influenced Vice President Al Gore, who participated in her informal network while a senator and later met with her in the White House.

Excerpt:
Richard Buckminster “Bucky” Fuller (July 12, 1895 – July 1, 1983)[1] was an American engineer, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor, and futurist.
Fuller published more than 30 books, inventing and popularizing terms such as "Spaceship Earth", ephemeralization, and synergetics. He also developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, the best known of which is the geodesic dome. Carbon molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their resemblance to geodesic spheres.

Excerpt:
Ilya, Viscount Prigogine (Russian: Илья́ Рома́нович Приго́жин, Ilya Romanovich Prigozhin) (25 January 1917 – 28 May 2003) was a Russian-born naturalized Belgian physical chemist and Nobel Laureate noted for his work on dissipative structures, complex systems, and irreversibility.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreversibility
Excerpt:
In science, a process that is not reversible is called irreversible. This concept arises most frequently in thermodynamics, as applied to processes.
In thermodynamics, a change in the thermodynamic state of a system and all of its surroundings cannot be precisely restored to its initial state by infinitesimal changes in some property of the system without expenditure of energy. A system that undergoes an irreversible process may still be capable of returning to its initial state; however, the impossibility occurs in restoring the environment to its own initial conditions. An irreversible process increases the entropy of the system, which is a measure of the microscopic disorder of the system whereas a reversible process does not. The second law of thermodynamics can be used to determine whether a process is reversible or not.
All complex natural processes are irreversible.[1] The phenomenon of irreversibility results from the fact that if a thermodynamic system, which is any system of sufficient complexity, of interacting molecules is brought from one thermodynamic state to another, the configuration or arrangement of the atoms and molecules in the system will change in a way that is not easily predictable.[2][3] A certain amount of "transformation energy" will be used as the molecules of the "working body" do work on each other when they change from one state to another. During this transformation, there will be a certain amount of heat energy loss or dissipation due to intermolecular friction and collisions; energy that will not be recoverable if the process is reversed.

Excerpt:
This is brilliant: an article by Martin Fowler in IEEE Software magazine from a few years back (via Julian On Software) really nails the issue of agility and complexity by referencing, oddly enough, a speech given by economist Enrico Zaninotto at the XP 2002 conference. Fowler says:
One aspect I found particularly interesting was his [Zaninotto's] comment that irreversibility was one of the prime drivers of complexity. He saw agile methods, in manufacturing and software development, as a shift that seeks to contain complexity by reducing irreversibility -- as opposed to tackling other complexity drivers. I think that one of an architect's most important tasks is to remove architecture by finding ways to eliminate irreversibility in software designs.
Most of my customers are large financial and insurance organizations that still use very waterfall methods for development. The requirements and functional design take months to develop, and have concrete poured firmly over them as soon as they are complete. In other words, the irreversibility starts at the requirements stage, long before development even starts. Of course, since a technical design follows the requirements stage and in turn is solidified before development begins, the irreversibilty is built into this stage as well: any changes have to go back through (potentially) several layers of approval and redesign, which impacts project schedules and contracts.
Fowler referenced an example where a database administrator made it easy to change the database schema and migrate the data for a project; as Fowler put it, "the database schema is no longer architectural" since it could be changed on the fly to accommodate the requirements of the project, rather than being a pre-supposed part of the design.
When we used to do this, it was called "coding by the seat of our pants"; now it's Agile!
