Three Types of Unsustainable Development: Which Is the Most Fundamental and Manageable?

EasyChair Preprint 14206

Abstract

This paper proposes to address the fundamental attributes of three classic types of unsustainable development: resource depletion, environmental degradation, and sufficiency but not necessity of existing technologies. It poses the question of which type is the most fundamental and controllable. .The method is used SSS as applied scenarios to the functional variational techniques, along with a suite of original steps in social, economic, scientific, and technological domains, as well as algorithms for application scenarios in Integrative Wisdom Science. The results demonstrate, through a series of typical cases, the most representative functional variational blending techniques and their underlying scientific principles and socioeconomic values. The conclusion is that among the fundamental attributes of these three types of unsustainable development, technological innovation is the most fundamental and controllable. Notably, it is worth promoting and popularizing the inquiry into which type is the most fundamental and controllable, along with the ensuing deep reflections, scientific validations, and analyses of typical implementation examples. This research reveals a promising breakthrough point for the application scenarios of SSS and the realization of the second great leap in human cognition in the new era of human-machine collaboration. It presents a functional variational technique that can achieve a "one stone, three birds" effect, characterized by a cross-disciplinary design of wisdom systems integrating logic, mathematics, science, technology, engineering, society, economy, education, and management.

Keyphrases: Functional variational techniques, New paradigm of Integrative Wisdom Science, Sufficiency but not necessity of existing technologies, Three classic types of unsustainable development, environmental degradation, resource depletion
