How abstractable are these ideas from computer science and the natural sciences to people?

Theories are tools. This particular cybernetic theory of freedom would suggest very specific things in terms of policy and long-term collective organization for the human species. Most notably, all basic individual metabolic functioning should be considered a human right. Second, the option of the individual to enhance cognitive functioning should also be considered a human right. This means that our global goal for governance in the 21st century should be the creation of a world in which every single human has their basic biological needs met unconditionally. Secondly, it means that choice and opportunity to compete in the global market place of ideas be made accessible to all (i.e., free global higher education). These are lofty goals - but they are not goals incompatible with any physical laws. Theoretically we could describe physical and institutional mechanisms to realize it this century. And, unless we achieve such an organization, we are systematically stifling billions of mind/brains of their functional potential. IMO, this is truly unfortunate, not only for the quality of conscious experience, but also for the continued generation of complex living organization.
