La conférence inaugurale du cycle dédié à l’État stratège et à la prise en compte du temps long dans l’action publique a permis d’aborder plusieurs points fondamentaux.

Voici un sommaire minuté des points forts de la vidéo :

0:30-3:00 : Recul de la prise en compte du temps long dans l’action publique.

Bruno Lasserre, vice-président du Conseil d’État, souligne le recul de la prise en compte du temps long par l’État.

Ce constat est lié à l’accroissement des tâches de gestion depuis la fin du 19e siècle.

L’État est passé d’un modèle régalien à un État providence puis un État régulateur, ajoutant à chaque étape de nouveaux objectifs de long terme mais aussi des objectifs de gestion courante qui entrent en concurrence avec le temps long.

3:00-5:30 : L'exemple de l'État planificateur de l’après-guerre.

L’exemple de l’État planificateur de l’après-guerre est cité, avec la création du Commissariat général au Plan en 1946.

Le plan a permis de structurer le développement du pays autour de grands projets.

La planification s’est appuyée sur des organismes de prévision (INSEE, service des études économiques et financières), et sur le dialogue avec les partenaires sociaux.

5:30-7:30 : Articuler temps court et temps long.

Bruno Lasserre insiste sur la nécessité d’articuler le temps court et le temps long, face aux enjeux de la transition écologique, des évolutions démographiques et des mutations technologiques.

Il soulève la question du développement d’un véritable outil prospectif couvrant ces différents champs.

9:30-11:00 : L’État stratège, une notion complexe.

Martine de Boisdeffre, présidente de la section des études de la prospective et de la coopération du Conseil d’État, aborde la complexité des notions d’« État stratège » et de « temps long ».

Elle insiste sur la nécessité de clarifier ces notions pour mieux comprendre la réalité de l’État stratège et ses enjeux.

11:00-13:00 : Prospective et conciliation des temps.

Martine de Boisdeffre met l’accent sur la prospective pour anticiper les évolutions futures et préparer les politiques publiques.

Elle souligne l’importance de la conciliation du temps long avec la préférence pour le présent et la nécessité de l’évaluation et de l’adaptation des politiques publiques.

13:30-22:00 : François Bayrou, plaidoyer pour un État stratège.

François Bayrou, Haut-commissaire au Plan, plaide pour un État stratège capable de penser le temps long et de s’organiser autour d’une planification.

Il déplore l’abandon de la culture du plan au profit d’une vision néolibérale privilégiant le marché.

Il donne des exemples concrets de décisions publiques qui ont souffert d’un manque de vision prospective.

Points clés de l’intervention de François Bayrou :

• Démographie médicale : La décision du numerus clausus a eu des effets désastreux sur le système de santé français.
• Énergie : Le manque de planification a conduit à des choix énergétiques incohérents et dangereux.
• Désindustrialisation : La France a subi une désindustrialisation massive faute d’anticipation.
• Outre-mer : L’absence de plan sérieux pour les Outre-mer a engendré une crise grave.

22:00-32:00 : Christine Lavarde, la difficulté de penser le temps long dans un contexte politique dominé par le court terme.

Christine Lavarde, sénatrice et présidente de la délégation à la prospective du Sénat, souligne la difficulté de penser le long terme dans un contexte politique dominé par le court terme.

Elle évoque les limites de la prospective, qui peut être démentie par des événements imprévus.

Elle insiste sur la nécessité pour l’État de se doter d’outils pour mieux anticiper les crises.

Elle déplore la tendance à privilégier les solutions budgétaires de court terme au détriment des investissements de long terme.

32:00-50:00 : Philippe Baptiste, le spatial comme exemple d’un secteur qui s’inscrit nécessairement dans le temps long.

Philippe Baptiste, président du CNES, met en avant le secteur spatial comme un domaine où la prise en compte du temps long est indispensable.

Il rappelle que les projets spatiaux nécessitent des années de développement et comportent des risques importants (techniques, géostratégiques).

Il souligne l’importance des objectifs stratégiques clairs, des compétences techniques, des budgets et de la confiance pour réussir dans le domaine spatial.

Il analyse les difficultés de l’industrie spatiale européenne, et plaide pour une réinvention du modèle de coopération européen.

50:00-1:08:00 : Échanges avec la salle.

Les échanges avec la salle abordent des questions cruciales comme la prise en compte des enjeux climatiques, l’articulation entre réflexion stratégique de long terme et respect du choix démocratique, l’importance de l’évaluation des politiques publiques, et la comparaison internationale des visions stratégiques et prospectives.

Conclusion :

La conférence inaugurale a permis de poser les bases d’une réflexion approfondie sur l’importance du temps long dans l’action publique et sur les difficultés rencontrées par l’État pour s’inscrire dans cette temporalité.

Les interventions et les échanges ont mis en lumière la nécessité d’un État stratège capable de concilier le court terme et le long terme, de développer une vision prospective, et de s’appuyer sur des outils et des organisations adaptés pour mener des politiques publiques ambitieuses et durables.

Zettelkasten is a method for creating "slow productivity" against a sea of information overload

Some of the framing goes back to using the card index as a means of overcoming the eternal problem of "information overload" [see A. Blair, Yale University Press, 2010]. I ran into an example the other day in David Blight's DeVane Lectures at Yale in which he simultaneously shrugged at the problem while talking about (perhaps unknown to him) the actual remedy: https://boffosocko.com/2024/09/16/paul-conkins-zettelkasten-advice/

It's also seen in Luhmann claiming he only worked on things he found easy/fun. The secret is that while you're doing this, your zettelkasten is functioning as a pawl against the ratchet of ideas so that as you proceed, you don't lose your place in your train of thought (folgezettel) even if it's months since you thought of something last. This allows you to always be building something of interest to you even (especially) if the pace is slow and you don't know where you're going as you proceed. It's definitely a form of advanced productivity, but not in the sort of "give-me-results-right-now" way that most have come to expect in a post-Industrial Revolution world. This distinction is what is usually lost on those coming from a productivity first perspective and causes friction because it's not the sort of productivity they've come to expect.

For Long performative publications are directly connected to the idea of practice, where following the concept of performativity, he argues that ideas should be put to practice, where practice can further inform and enrich ones ideas again. Long applies these values directly to several of his own performative projects. In his book The Socratic and Platonic Politics: Practicing a Politics of Reading, he shows how Socratic philosophy and Platonic writing was designed to cultivate dialogue and community. By digitally enhancing his publication, Long explores how writing and reading can promote community in a digital context, in specific a community of collaborative readers. As Long argues:

If, however, the book is not to be a mere abstract academic exercise, it will need to be published in a way that performs and enables the politics of collaborative reading for which it argues. (Long 2012)

https://youtu.be/-f9N1n-4cI8

A further extension of this project is a podcast series titled Digital Dialogue which aims to cultivate dialogue in a digital age by engaging other scholars in open conversation online. Long is also involved in the Public Philosophy Journal project, which is specifically set up to crawl the web to find diverse positions on various philosophical subjects and to bring these together in a collaborative writing setting. As Long explains:

The PPJ is designed to crawl the web, listening for conversations in which philosophical ideas and approaches are brought to bear on a wide variety of issues of public concern. Once these conversations are curated and a select number chosen for further development, we will invite participants into a space of collaborative writing so they can work their ideas up into a more fully formulated scholarly article or digital artifact. (Chris Long 2013)

Schools and districts must adhere to these requirements to help ensure the implementation of technically sound and educationally meaningful IEPs and to provide FAPE.

Staaten, die von der Viehwirtschaft abhängig sind, haben über Jahre großen Druck auf die FAO ausgeübt, Forschungsergebnisse zu den Methanemissionen durch Vieh zurückzuhalten. Wichtige Berichte wurden nicht publiziert. Wahrscheinlich wurde auch das volle Ausmaß der Treibhausgasemissionen durch die Viehzucht bewusst nicht dargestellt. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/20/ex-officials-at-un-farming-fao-say-work-on-methane-emissions-was-censored

I'm beginning to disagree with the thesis of terra nulllius as an overarching theory behind colonization. We've already seen a "intellectual convergence" towards the ideas, and that's because they're just so damn convenient. If you have overwheleming military and economic power over a foe, and are looking to justify a conquest of them, they will be dehumanized. Time and time again this has been proven. And once they are dehumanized, that land becomes empty, free for the taking. This imposition of the westephalian system is the true overarching theory behind colonialism, not terra nullius, a theory which simply repeats over and over again directly in philosophical justifications of conquest due to its convenience.

Honestly, this should be the headline. A full 50% of people who volunteered to be in the control were actually still suffering symptoms! Half! Of a self-selected group!

This is a very useful but underutilized property. It allows you to e.g. announce in advance that a resource will exist at some point in the future, and thereby effectively receive "updates" to the linking document without requiring changes to the document itself.

How do Bransford, Brown, & Cocking (2000) define schemas? (Metiri Group, Cisco Sytems, 2008) As chunks of multiple individual units of memory that are linked into a system of understanding

What term is defined by Bransford, Brown, & Cocking (2000) to be "chunks of multiple individual units of memory that are linked into a system of understanding"? (Metiri Group, Cisco Sytems, 2008) Schemas.

How is learning defined by Sweller in 2002? (Metiri Group, Cisco Sytems, 2008) The storage of automated schema in long-term memory

What term does Sweller define as the "storage of automated schema in long-term memory"?

This practice is quite similar to writing out good spaced repetition question/answer cards for forcing active recall and better long term memory.

The practice of repeating items as a means of attempting to place them into short-term memory is called maintenance rehearsal. Examples of this practice include repeating a new acquaintance's name or perhaps their phone number multiple times as a means of helping to remember it either for the short term or potentially the long term.

Research on the levels-of processing model of memory indicates that maintenance rehearsal is not as effective at promoting long term memory as methods like elaborative rehearsal.

Long term thinking needs to replace short term thinking. How will we do that when political leaders are continuously influenced by industry lobbies from the monied entrenched incumbents whose deep pockets buy political influence and therefore influence policy direction?

Manuela Macedonia's research indicates that online learners who enact specific gestures as they learn words learn better and have longer retention versus simply hearing words. Students who mimic these gestures also learn better than those who only see the gestures and don't use them themselves.

How might this sort of teacher/avatar gesturing be integrated into online methods? How would students be encouraged to follow along?

Could these be integrated into different background settings as well to take advantage of visual memory?

Anecdotally, I remember some Welsh phrases from having watched Aran Jones interact with his cat outside on video or his lip syncing in the empty spaces requiring student responses. Watching the teachers lips while learning can be highly helpful as well.

People are more likely to remember points from talks that are accompanied by gestures. This effect apparently increases with time.

What does the effect of time have on increased lengths? Does it continue to increase and then decrease at some point? Anecdotally I often recall quotes and instances from movies based on movements that I make.

What effects, if any, are seen in studies of mirror-neurons and those with impairment of them? What memory effects might be seen with those on the autism spectrum who don't have strong mirror-neuron responses? If this is impaired, what might account for their improved memories for some types of material? Which types of material do they have improved memories for?

Is the same true of drawing points from a speech using the ideas of sketchnotes? Is drawing an extension of gestural improvement of memory?

Active inhibition is the filter that prevents our minds from being constantly flooded with memories and allows us to focus. It acts as a barrier between our long term memories and our immediate present.

Is the filter behind active inhibition really active or is it passive? What is the actual physiological mechanism?
