Introduction

Finally, we have reached the last chapter of the main text of this book. After the discussions in the previous two chapters (“On the Intelligent Consortium” and “Construction of the Intelligent Consortium”), I believe readers should have a preliminary understanding of the organizational framework and construction process under the Intelligenism framework. However, there is still a long way to go from conceptualization to the actual completion of building an Intelligent Consortium. This requires practitioners to have sufficient patience and courage to take the first practical step in an environment with few, if any, successful precedents.

In this chapter, I will first explore the practical constraints and limitations that may arise during the construction of the Intelligent Consortium, based on the framework outlined earlier. As the proponent of the Intelligent Consortium, it is my responsibility not only to articulate its mechanisms fully but also to present the advantages and disadvantages I can foresee objectively. Some of these disadvantages may not necessarily be insurmountable in future practice. Still, for any issues that lack a clear solution at the time of completing this book, I will highlight them. The limitations discussed below do not encompass all possible shortcomings of the Intelligent Consortium; additional flaws or constraints may be discovered by readers and future practitioners. I hope that practitioners, while identifying these issues, will also work to refine the entire Intelligent Consortium system, addressing problems while making the system more robust.

Next, I will introduce the potential social value of the foundational framework of the Intelligent Consortium. Some of these social value speculations reflect my expectations when proposing the concept of the Intelligent Consortium, with the hope that it can address some persistent, unresolved issues in the world. However, whether these values can be realized will depend on the actual operation of the Intelligent Consortium in reality.

Finally, I will provide an outlook on the possible future development of the Intelligent Consortium. This represents the envisioned form, derived from numerous simulations conducted during the construction and writing process. As for its longer-term characteristics, I will explore and speculate further in future books. Like a painter imagining the final effect of a painting or an entrepreneur envisioning the ultimate realization of a business model, this outlook is not guaranteed to be achieved. Still, it represents the creator’s vision, driving them forward like a shark drawn to the scent of blood.
