2 Frank's Human Intelligences Lists Appropriate For Regenerative Individuals & Organizations For Development (hilario4D)

Regenerative Development is what the world needs now, from the well-developed to the least-developed countries of the world, from America to Zimbabwe. What “regenerative” needs is, first, to differentiate itself from “sustainable.”

I first wrote about sustainable development in 2007 (see my book “Team ICRISAT Champions The Poor,” International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, page 19). Today, Saturday, 13-01-24, I realize that “sustainable development” is inferior to “regenerative development.” That explains my new blog slogan: “Sustainable Development is Expensive; Regenerative Development is Expansive.”

History: I have just googled and found that the concept of “regenerative development” (RegDev) was proposed in 1995 yet by the Regenesis Group (Ecolise, wiki.ecolise.eu). About RegDev, the Buckminster Fuller Institute (BFI) says (30 Jan 2018, bfi.org):

The Regenesis group is a design consultancy that specializes in a regenerative approach to land use, community development and the built environment. They have created an illuminating video series introducing basic concepts of Regenerative Development. Take a look and learn about their integrative approach moving beyond problem[-]solving to realize new potential[s] within living systems.

“Regenerative Development… beyond problem-solving to realize new potentials within living systems” – that is what I am looking for in coming out with my concept 2 lists of Human Intelligences Likely Appropriate For Regenerative Individuals & Organizations For Development (hilario4D). Today, everywhere, politics is passé – hilario4D is designed to help bring about regeneration within the country, any country.

Not simply what the United Nations would define & declare as “Development” but “Regenerative Development,” going from A to Z, starting from, say, Abaca (troubled) to Zoning (needs improvement) – the whole works in the world!

For Regenerative Development, we will need Multiple Intelligences (MI) applied to multiple areas for development.

Multiple intelligences is the advanced concept of education originated by Harvard professor Howard Gardner. In 1983, Gardner published his theory of MI in his book Frames Of Mind (Basic Books, 440 pages, scirp.org). I will now refer to multiple intelligences as “Regenerative Intelligences (RI).” Here then is my RI list:

1. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence (“Body Smart”)
2. Existential Intelligence (“Life Smart”)
3. Interpersonal Intelligence (“People Smart”)
4. Intrapersonal Intelligence (“Self Smart”)
5. Mathematical-Logical Intelligence (“Number/Reasoning Smart”)
6. Musical Intelligence (“Music Smart”)
7. Naturalist Intelligence (“Nature Smart”)
8. Spatial Intelligence (“Image Smart”)
9. Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence (“Word Smart”).

MI is regenerative because each intelligence invites each learner, young or old, to regenerate himself/herself from being a non-talent to one who discovers, with the aid of a teacher, the hidden talent in that body or mind.

Meanwhile, I have a list of 12 approaches to Regenerative Agriculture (RA) that regenerative individuals & groups can apply, as follows:

1, Compost application
2, Cover cropping
3, Crop rotation
4, Farm crops + tree crops (simultaneous)
5, Green manuring
6, Intercropping
7, Multiple cropping
8, No-till farming
9, Ratooning
10, “Three Sisters” cropping (corn + beans + squash)
11, Trap cropping
12, Trash mulching.

Borrowing from Shakespeare’s play “Hamlet”: “To sleep, perchance to dream” – Regenerative Development devoutly to be wished!@517
