GENERAL INTERESTS |

Dr. Ayoub's interests include:
-
The
Macrogenome Project.
A Most Ambitious Undertaking Dedicated to
Mapping
the Entire Genetic Structure of the Dominant Philosophies that Shape
our World.
The Macrogenome
Project
is the intellectual analogue of the Genome Project. It is to
the thinking
soul what the Genome Project is to living
matter. The project's domains include philosophy, political economy,
law, and theology -- Mosaic-Solomonic,
Christian, and Islamic.
The
goals of the project are:
-
To
map the entire intellectual genetic structure
of the dominant philosophies and worldviews
that shape our world.
-
To
identify, scrutinize, and compare the ideas, concepts,
notions, and thought species and subspecies that make
up the dominant philosophies that underlie current
policies and legislation. To identify common
substructures.
-
To
discover, characterize, and categorize the codes, structures,
lineages, and variants of the thought species; and to
correlate these with origins, intents, and effects.
-
To
locate, characterize, and catalogue defects in logic and
intellection; and to correlate, cross-link, and cross-reference the
defects with associated political disorder, social diseases, and
economic conflicts and destruction.
-
To
build taxonomic, structure, and modeling databases for grounding
philosophies. And to develop analytical tools and
expert systems to model, simulate, and predict the
outcomes of policies from their genomic structure and
associated probabilistic confidences.
-
To
issue timely political, economic, and financial alerts
and advisories to political, business, and community
leaders.
-
To promote
the worldviews that benefit humankind, especially philosophies that promote and secure authentic freedom and
wealth for all.
-
New Capitalism and New
Legislation. Development and documentation of
The Anthropology,
Phenomenology, and Historiography of Capitalist Thinking and
Doing. Current forms of
Capitalism are, like the physics of yesteryears, Ptolemaic, unstable, and insecure.
Most current legislation enframes Darwinistic "net advantages" that
inhibit global progress on a grand scale. The object of this program is thus to create
- New legislative and judicial
structures.
- New forms of government.
- New forms of
Capitalism.
- New kinds of
marketplaces.
- New kinds of exchanges and
money.
- New kinds of corporations, organizations,
and institutions.
- New people-centric economic
alliances.
- New ways to create and benefit from
wealth.
The essence of the program is to
create new opportunities, expand freedom and the horizon of justice, and enhance
substantially wealth and the quality of Being for all people.
-
Geoeconomics. The creation of
large-scale economic unions
- in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, Africa, and Asia
- will probably be the next
great human experiment. Currently, the good life is inaccessible to most of
humanity. What
are the principles, structures, processes, and strategies for changing globally the
quality of Being? Are these entailed in geoeconomic union? The object of this program is
thus to investigate how "best" to
-
Secure, enhance, and expand
freedom,
democracy, and justice for all people.
-
Secure, enhance, and expand
economic
opportunities for families everywhere.
- Pool human, cultural, economic, and
scientific and technological resources.
- Consolidate and unify interests, integrate
economies, and diversify and enrich markets.
- Secure a common people-centric defense
policy.
-
Create stable supranational groups.
-
Quantum Theory of
Economics.
The development and empirical testing of the Quantum Theory of Economics. Current theories
of economics are Ptolemaic. While resistance to change will be substantial, the emergence
of new thinking in law and economics will have profound and formidable global
implications, not unlike those that were brought about by physics since Copernicus,
Kepler, and Galileo.
-
Education, Learning, and
Technology Transfer. The development and deployment of infrastructures,
technologies, and, especially, intellectual content for global Internet-based education
and learning. Primary activities include the creation, organization, dissemination, and
delivery of quality content, and the transfer of actionable technology. The object of this
program is to inform, enlighten, and enrich vast numbers of people, efficiently,
inexpensively, and reliably.
