Concept Notes. GEMOCIDE: TOWARD A SCIENCE OF RESPONSIBILITY IN THE AGE OF GLOBAL VISIBILITY. June 2026

François Ndengwe, INSP-Research Department          Concept Note  GEMOCIDE: TOWARD A SCIENCE OF RESPONSIBILITY IN THE AGE OF GLOBAL VISIBILITY London, UK, 06 June 2026 A NEW QUESTION FOR THE XXIst CENTURY Humanity has entered a new historical era. The Israeli army’s bombings, massacres, and flattening of Palestinians in Gaza have plunged humanity into it  For most of history, large-scale violence occurred under conditions of limited visibility. News traveled slowly. Evidence was scarce. Witnesses were few. Governments, armies, and powerful institutions often possessed substantial control over information concerning atrocities. The development of mobile telephones, digital networks, satellite technologies, social media, and citizen journalism has fundamentally transformed this situation. For the first time in human history, large-scale violence can be observed, documented, transmitted, archived, and discussed almost simultaneously with its occurrence. Victims can record their own suffering. Witnesses can transmit evidence in real time. On their mobile phones, millions of people can observe events unfolding from thousands of kilometers away. This transformation raises a new question that existing concepts do not fully answer: How do we measure responsibility once the world can no longer claim ignorance? THE CONCEPT OF GEMOCIDE To address this question, researchers have begun developing the concept of gemocide. Gemocide does not seek to replace existing legal concepts such as genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, or ethnic cleansing. Rather, it seeks to identify a new historical condition: Large-scale organized violence occurring under conditions of widespread and near-instantaneous global visibility. The concept focuses not primarily on legal classification but on responsibility. The central challenge is no longer merely establishing what happened. The challenge is understanding how responsibility should be measured when evidence is visible to governments, institutions, media organizations, civil society, and citizens across the world. MEASURING RESPONSIBILITY The emerging science of gemocide proposes that responsibility should be analyzed through five layers.  These include: 1.      direct perpetrators and command structures; 2.      actors who materially enable violence; 3.      actors who protect perpetrators from accountability; 4.      actors who shape public narratives concerning visible suffering; and 5.      actors possessing meaningful capacity to intervene but choosing not to act. The objective is not accusation. The objective is measurement. Just as modern societies measure economic performance, public health, educational outcomes, or environmental degradation, the science of gemocide seeks to develop rigorous methods for measuring responsibility under conditions of visible atrocity. WHY THIS MATTERS FOR HUMAN DIGNITY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND PEOPLES' RIGHTS The struggle against racism is ultimately a struggle for equal human dignity. Every human life should possess equal moral value. Every victim deserves equal visibility. Every community deserves equal protection. The concept of gemocide is rooted in the same universal principle. It begins from the conviction that the suffering of human beings should never become invisible because of race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, language, political affiliation, or geopolitical circumstance. The development of objective methods for measuring responsibility under conditions of visible suffering contributes to the broader effort to strengthen equality, justice, and human solidarity. TOWARD A CULTURE OF MEASURED RESPONSIBILITY The XXIst century has created unprecedented capacities for witnessing.  Humanity now possesses extraordinary technological tools for seeing. The next challenge is learning how to transform visibility into responsibility, responsibility into action, and action into justice. The science of gemocide seeks to contribute to that task.  Its guiding question is simple:  When humanity can see, how should it respond?

Decoding Orbital Data Centers

Editor's note: This is the first of three feature articles Ars is publishing to explore the financial, technical, and competitive dimensions of orbital data centers. Although the idea of putting data centers into space has long been discussed on a theoretical basis, the technology has rapidly become a red-hot topic.   This series will attempt to ground-truth some of the rhetoric flying around. This first installment takes a look at the core economic argument surrounding orbital datacenters; subsequent articles will explore detailed cost modeling at scale, the technical challenges involved, and the landscape of competitors.   Read the full Article <HERE>

Why Orbital Data Centers Are Harder Than Silicon Valley Thinks

Shedding heat will require ingenious new designs

“Space computing, the final frontier, has arrived,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared at the Nvidia GTC conference in March. Indeed, the idea of data centers in orbit has gone from science fiction to a serious spending category. Elon Musk’s SpaceX has acquired xAI (also Musk’s) and is planning a constellation of space-based data centers. Google, not to be outdone, announced Project Suncatcher in partnership with Planet, planning to launch two satellites equipped with Google Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) AI chips by early 2027. Startup Starcloud has already filed a proposal with the Federal Communications Commission for an 88,000-satellite constellation for orbital data centers. As Starcloud’s filing suggests, these companies are all proposing fleets of satellites numbering in the thousands, each housing a rack or multiple racks of AI-grade GPUs, interconnected with each other through free-space optical links and communicating back to Earth via microwave links, either directly or through other satellites. <More> Read the full Article <HERE>

In Memory. He lives on. Will Globalization Destroy Black America? Mr. Phillip Jackson (9/22/1950 - 11/04/2018), Executive Director. The Black Star Project.

Will Globalization Destroy Black America?   By Phillip Jackson, Executive Director The Black Star Project http://blackstarproject.org/home Powered by Joomla! Generated: 22 April, 2008, 19:13   The lack of response to globalization by Black America is frightening and troubling. While much of the world has adapted to the new-world economy and new-world standards of existence, most of Black America is still operating much the same way it did in the 1950s and 1960s. But now, throughout Black communities in America, there is a whisper campaign by Black people who don't know each other and Black people who live in different parts of the country, saying to each other, "We are in trouble!" We know it and the rest of the world knows it! Black America, as we know it, is in danger of not surviving globalization. In the 21st century, there are only two kinds of people. Not Black or White, or rich or poor, or foreign or national. The two kinds of people in the world today are those who are educated and those who are not. Although education has become the new currency of exchange in the 21st century, the old American educational paradigm stopped working decades ago for Black Americans. Simply sending Black children to American schools without a clear purpose or goal has contributed to the demise of the Black community. Black America watched formerly third-world countries catapult over America to become educational super powers while America rested on its old, stale educational laurels and fell way behind much of the world in educational performance. And because Black America unthinkingly depended on the American education system to educate its children, we have fallen way behind  The horrific educational, social, health, economic and criminal justice indicators in much of Black America predict a meltdown of gargantuan proportions in the near future for the Black community. But still, the thing that is most remarkable and unbelievable is the lack of response by Black Americans to this impending doom! Without numerous positive changes, practical well-thought-out ideas, massive mobilization and immediate action, the fate of many Black Americans is sealed. We will not be able to prosper in the cities of America or possibly in any city in the world where the new currency for existence is access to global information, higher-order critical thinking and advanced technological skills. There used to be a time when it was better to be poor in America than rich in other countries. Now it might be better to be poor in some other countries than to be poor in America. Black people in America must immediately disengage from the diversions of mind-deadening entertainment, useless sports, hyper-sexuality, excessive social celebrations, pointless conversations and debates, meaningless media and the civil rights issue de jour approach to managing our problems. We must focus on the most important issue in our communities -- making education the highest priority. We must create a culture of literacy and learning that replaces intellectual apathy and resistance to educational progress. Somehow, we must re-inspire our children to want to learn and to love to learn. But having educated children is not enough. We must have educated families and educate communities. Every Black man, woman and child must become part of this new community of learners. Black America must take education out of the schools and universities and root it in our homes, our workplaces, our communities, our churches and even in our streets and prisons. The purpose of education as defined by the Equipped for the Future initiative, a federally sponsored effort to develop a framework for accountability in adult education, is to help people actualize their roles in society as parent/family members, citizen/community members and workers in the economy. If the education system that serves us is not meeting these objectives, it is a disservice to our children and our communities  The ability of a people to survive in changing times is not magic, nor is it by chance. Success depends on people being able to change to survive in a new environment! And new environments demand new skills for survival. Equipped for the Future tells us that without certain basic skills, survival will be extremely difficult for Black people, or any people, in the 21st century. These essential skills are the ability to read with understanding; convey ideas in writing; speak so that others can understand; observe critically; listen actively; solve problems and make decisions appropriately; plan and put Those plans into action effectively; use math to solve problems and to communicate; cooperate with others; guide others; advocate and influence; resolve conflict and negotiate; take responsibility for life-long learning; learn through research; reflect and evaluate; and use information and communication technology. These are the skills necessary to survive in the 21st century. The solution to the issue of Black America's poor response to globalization is to 1)      Deconstruct value systems that have caused Black people to arrive at the precipice of non-existence; 2)      Construct value systems that will rebuild the Black family as a purveyor of positive values, cultures, mores and education, and re-establish the Black family as the primary and most important social unit of our culture and society; 3)      Embrace education as the highest value in the Black community; 4)      Effectively manage the negative cultural influences that hugely impact the thinking and actions of Black boys; and 5)      Understand that for the rest of existence, change is a required part of the living process. The faster Black America is able to put this plan into action, adopt these new principles and manage change, the more likely we will survive. Today, many Black people seem to be having "cosmic flashbacks" to our time in slavery, which was the first crude effort at globalization that helped to set the stage for today's globalization. For years, Black America was buffered from modern globalization by political boundaries and economic barriers. Now globalization has come to our country, our cities, our communities, onto our blocks and into our homes, schools and workplaces. Globalization has happened, whether Black America is ready for it or not. We still have time to make the necessary changes that will guarantee that Black people will survive into the 21st century and that we will thrive in this global economy. But there is not much time.  With globalization, Black America has entered into the "Educate or Die" era. In this era, there are only two questions worth answering: "Will we change? Can we survive?" How we emerge from this era is up to us. Phillip Jackson, Executive Director The Black Star Project 3473 South King Drive, Box 464 Chicago, Illinois 60616
