This page was for preparing the recreation of the article about Ralph G.H. Siu, from various material.
Ralph G.H. Siu, an American author, urged in 1988 the "creation of a new and vigorous academic discipline, called panetics, to be devoted to the study of the infliction of suffering."[1] The International Society for Panetics was founded in 1991 to study and develop ways to reduce the infliction of human suffering by individuals acting through professions, corporations, governments, and other social groups.
In Memoriam
Subsequent reflection following the "deletion" of Ralph Siu (January 2008) (reproduced in a P2P Foundation Wiki entry by Michel Bauwens: On the deletion of scholar Ralph Siu by the ‘Wikipedia lynch mobs)
The entry on R G H Siu has just been deleted from Wikipedia, despite references to his name in connection with panetics (the study of suffering) which was the preoccupation of a research program and organization that he instigated (the International Society for Panetics). The entry on panetics is also marked as being considered for deletion. Siu continues (for the moment) to be mentioned in the Wikipedia entry on suffering.
Siu was an early pioneer in creating a bridge between Eastern and Western cultures, notably in his work on taoism and science (published by MIT Press). These,with other publications on taoism and management (published by Wiley), he subsequently framed as a 12-volume collection (The Quantum and the Tao: an unified East-West psychophilosophical synthesis toward harmonious living). The volumes, with an indication of their contents are listed by a project of the Special Integration Group (SIG) -- of the International Society for the Systems Sciences (ISSS) originally Society for General Systems Research (SGSR) and the International Institute for Systemic Inquiry and Integration. (highlighted by me, r.d.)
Siu is an exemplar of lifelong dedication to complex issues having fundamental humanitarian implications. The unseemly haste with which an honourable scholar has been "deleted", by what amounts to a rabid editorial lynch mob, is a sad commentary on the democratic dynamics which many had so hopefully associated with Wikipedia as an alternative model. The intellectual quality of the dialogue relating to the proposed deletion of panetics is also a sad commentary on collective ignorance and the "unwisdom of crowds" at a time when suffering is simultaneously a preoccupation for many that experience it and of relatively little interest to the research community.
The removal of Siu focuses attention on historical revisionism and censorship as it effectively results from criteria of editorial quality and haste. Clearly, the bias favours the crowd and that which is known to the crowd; hence the extent to which currently favoured bands and groups, using the names of fundamental human values, displace those values in any web search facility. Wikipedia and Google (or their future competitors) could therefore usefully consider a longer time span in weighting relevance of web content presented through their services -- or find that they serve increasingly to obscure larger contexts in favour of the fashionable present even when it is later only of historical significance (if any). For how many decades, for example will the Wikipedia entry on the NY band Mindless Self Indulgence continue to be retained as an authoritative indication of modern global preoccupations -- obscuring the absence of any entry on self indulgence that is the cause of so much suffering (as studied by Siu)?
And yes...
like the founder of international peace research, I am indeed one of the people who has specifically written on R G H Siu, most recently in a lengthy review, with numerous references to panetics research:
Varieties of Terrorism: extended to the experience of the terrorized, 2004
and prior to that in the enrichment of the Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential for which I was responsible. Of relevance in that respect are the criteria, and dilemmas, for inclusion and exclusion of "world problems" (notably in terms of their subjective importance to those constituencies identifying with them, and motivated to action by them). The challenge was to enable a framework for interrelating incompatible perspectives.
Curiously one of the assertions of the Wikipedia editors advocating "deletion" was that the contents of the entry text on Siu were "nonsense". Unfortunately in a complex world, the perspectives of most with whom we disagree are necessarily (if not by definition) "nonsense" -- whether politically, theologically, from another disciplinary framework, or in terms of level of expertise.
And no...engaging with the democratic dynamics of a lynch mob editorial process is something I did not seek to do -- for the reasons indicated above.
- Added by me, r.d., following references to Judge's texts on Siu's work: http://www.laetusinpraesens.org/docs00s/varterr.php and http://www.laetusinpraesens.org/musings/implresp.php --Robert Daoust (talk) 20:48, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Dr. Siu was born 24 February 1917, in Honolulu, Hawaii. He earned his Bachelors and Masters degrees from the University of Hawaii (in 1939 and 1941, respectively) and a Ph.D. degree as a biochemist from the California Institute of Technology in 1943. During the last two years of World War II, Dr. Siu served as a scientific and technical consultant for the U.S. Army, and became one the premier researchers assigned to the Quartermaster Corps.
As the Allies shifted focus from Europe to the war in the Pacific, Dr. Siu headed a team of researchers that designed, tested, and helped field a vast array of new "jungle type" fabrics, clothing and equipment that helped protect soldiers and save lives in the harsh tropical environment. As the Quartermaster Corps’ Director of Laboratories and Chief Scientific and Technical Director for more than a decade (1948-62), Dr. Siu spearheaded numerous critical projects, including pioneer efforts on irradiated food – a key component of President Eisenhower’s Atoms-For-Peace program. He was also one of the key planners involved in establishing the Quartermaster Research and Development Center in Natick, Massachusetts (today’s Soldier Systems Command).
Throughout his long and productive career and service to the nation, in his pioneering research, countless scholarly publications, administrative duties, and lectures around the world, Dr. Siu represented the very best interests of the American soldier and the United States Army Quartermaster Corps.
Siu (1993,II: 5) has made the proposal for a science of Panetics, the integrated systematic study of all the aspects of suffering inflicted on humans by humans. (Pali: paneti, to inflict). The International society for Panetics has compiled in its three volume set Panetics (Siu 1993, I-III), a list of the major incidents and causes, together with an encyclopaedic register containing several thousand bibliographical references of inflicted human suffering. In the context of the present study, these various forms of inflictions represent extremely stable and contagious cultural patterns , that have afflicted humanity since millennia.
Ming the Mechanic: Megadukkhas - quantifying suffering The NewsLog of Flemming Funch Megadukkhas - quantifying suffering 2007-12-03 22:40 5 comments
As a sub-theme in an article about Root Irresponsibility for Major World Problems, Tony Judge touches on the strange unit of measure called a "dukkha": The most extensive and insightful methodological approach to the incidence of suffering is that developed through the research of R G H Siu and the International Society for Panetics. They developed the concept of the "dukkha" as a measure of suffering. For the panetics community, the dukkha is a measure of the intensity and duration of pain and anguish adapted from the 9-point hedonic scale used to provide subjective judgements in market research. Dukkha is also a central concept in Buddhism.
According to this approach, one dukkha expresses the amount of suffering endured by one person experiencing one intensity unit for one day (roughly the equivalent to the amount of suffering felt by one person with a moderate toothache for eight hours). A "megadukkha" represents the order of magnitude of suffering sustained by 1,000 persons for about 10 hours a day, for a year, with severe stomach ulcers and without medication. The approach has been explored further by Johan Galtung (Panetics and the Practice of Peace and Development, 1999). Wow. dukkha is of course a traditional Buddhist term, which is probably somewhat mis-translated and mis-understood from its original meaning, but which is typically translated as "suffering". Read more about dukkha as a unit of measure here.
I never heard about dukkhas or megadukkhas before. Of course it would be tricky to measure in any precise way, but just the concept that one could quantify suffering opens a bunch of doors. See, stuff that can't easily be accounted for tends to become somewhat invisible in our kind of society. Particularly if it can't be counted in dollars, but also simply because it is difficult to count, or it isn't counted.
In the many years I've lived in L.A. I've had hundreds of hours to sit in bumper to bumper traffic and ponder the outrageous and unnecessary waste of time and resources that is going on, not to mention the anger and suffering from people sitting in their cars going nowhere. The suffering is relatively minimal if we compare to the hundreds of millions of people in other parts of the world who starve, who're tortured, who's family members are killed, who don't have health care, etc, but if we add it up it wouldn't be all that minimal. But just think about the cost to start with, if it actually were accounted for.
Say I could get to work in downtown L.A. in 15 minutes, if the traffic actually was flowing, but it takes me an hour. That means I spend 1.5 hours per day doing nothing useful, while burning gasoline and sitting being frustrated. If we only looked at the time aspect, then me and the other 2 million people who're doing the same will waste around 3 million hours that day. Multiply that by the $20 or so we get paid by the hour for working, and you have $60 million in a day, or around $18 billion per year. You could buy a hell of a lot of freeway for that. Tripple-decker underground freeways would be perfectly feasible if you accounted for the time and money that would be saved. Or think of it on a daily basis. There's a stalled car in one of the lanes 2 miles further along, and thousands of people suddenly waste thousands of hours when the traffic grinds to a halt. If you account for that cost, even drastic measures would be perfectly economical. You could keep a Sikorski crane helicopter hovering over every section of freeway 24/7 ready to lift any stalled vehicle off the freeway, and the cost would be completely negligable in comparison.
But I'm getting distracted. This was about suffering. Imagine that we could find ways of reducing the overall suffering on the planet. That's what the Institute for Panetics is working on. They propose principles and awareness campaigns for different sectors of society. Law and order, media, health, religion, government, etc. Here are some definitions and objectives: WHAT IS PANETICS?
Panetics is an integrated discipline to study and help reduce the INFLICTION of suffering by humans upon other humans. It was founded upon the conviction that a growing international consensus supports the right of people to be relieved from suffering inflicted by other people when they act through governments, institutions, professions and social groups. To that end, Panetics is an evolving, "pan-ethical" approach to research, policy analysis, decision-making and management."Panetics" is a term coined by Ralph G.H. Siu from "paneti" which means "to inflict" in Pali, the language of the Buddha.
PANETHICS
Combining the Greek word for "all" ("pan") with "ethics", Panethics is an attempt to synthesize thinking from both East and West into a readily understandable and agreed upon system of ethics for a world community. It is based upon the fundamental principle that no one has the right to unjustly inflict distress, pain and anguish on another. The semantic and synergistic relationship between the two terms "panetics" and "panethics" is intentional.
The term "panethics" was first coined by Professor Rudolph Krejci during a lively discussion in April 1986 at the University of Alaskas Geophysical Institute with its director Syun-Ichi Akasofu and the Visiting Lecturer in Panetics, Ralph G.H.Siu. [hihglighted by me. r.d.]
PANETIC OBJECTIVES
The main aims of Panetics are to analyze the sources of inflicted suffering, develop practical ways to help reduce human suffering inflicted by individuals through governments, institutions, professions, or social groups, and encourage their application.
PANETIC PREMISES
People have a right to be relieved from suffering inflicted by other people. The international community has begun to demonstrate a willingness to support that right. We lack both awareness and the tools required for decision-making and intervention to be sure that such actions actually alleviate, rather than increase, human suffering. To prevent such missteps, we must search for measures to assess potential and actual human consequences of actions with the same attempts at precision that we try to use in economic decision-making. Such panetic analyses can help leaders, professionals and managers evaluate the humane consequences of their actions, lessen the suffering they might otherwise cause, and thereby advance the well-being of humanity. That's a wise and noble endeavor. Of course, making words for it, creating units of measure, outlining principles - it makes it something one can begin to think about. Think with in constructive ways, where one can make better decisions, as opposed to just walking around with a generalized gloomy feeling about the world. You can actually to some degree add it up. Does option A or option B best reduce the amount of suffering in the world?
If consequences can be identified, labeled and accounted for, it is so much more likely they will become part of the decision process. There are consequences like pollution, wasted time, wasted money. If the bill could be sent to those responsible, they just might have to make different decisions. And there's the consequence of pain and suffering. Which isn't just a matter of sending somebody a bill. Suffering sucks. A little suffering once in a while might motivate you to make things better. But a lot of continued suffering just makes life suck a whole lot.
So, I'm all for a global megadukkha reduction act. Down with the dukkhas.
Of course we need a unit for happiness too, then. Just sitting around not suffering doesn't automatically make life great. Let's max out the joy and happiness counters while we're at it.

Ralph Gun Hoy Siu, the author of The Craft of Power, proposed that a psycho-political study of suffering begin under the term panetics. According to the website of the International Society for the Study of Panetics, "Panetics is an integrated discipline to study and help reduce the INFLICTION of suffering by humans upon other humans." (ISSP, 2007)
Siu calls for this approach in these words: "After analyzing the unceasing mutual inflictions of suffering by practically everyone and the neglect of this pervasive and degenerating human deficiency by the academic community, I urge the immediate creation of a new and vigorous academic discipline, called panetics, to be devoted to the study of the infliction of suffering. The nature, scope, illustrative contents, and social value are outlined. The dukkha is proposed as a semiquantitative unit of suffering to assist in associated analytical operations." (Siu, 1998)
A variety of research papers and online discussions have been written under the banner of Panetics.
The concept of panetics runs along lines similar to other scholars and activists who are attempting to get humanistic agendas into public and political discourse. An example is the idea gross national product neglects the welfare of citizens. Various measures of social welfare are being proposed and explored. These range from analyzing specific measures such as infant mortality, to more whimsical sounding concepts such as gross national happiness. Panetics proposes to adopt a scientific approach to human-caused suffering, and to develop a means of measurement, utilizing a quantifier called the dukkha.

(The following comment from User:Bobsterz was figuring on the Talk page of the deleted article Panetics.)
I know notability is an issue, but how about this version? Siu, after all, wrote Craft of Power, which is scholarly, compared to some other books on power. And the society has various research articles. Since the term Panetics will come up in someone researching politics who comes across Siu, it seems like a good idea to have an entry. Also, the concept is in line with various scholars and activists trying to get into the public and legislative minds the idea the gross national product neglects the welfare of citizens. Various other measures and ideas are being proposed and explored. It would be good to connect these topics together so that people can put them into perspective and know who is working on these ideas. Part of my interest in this is that it is part of a larger intellectual movement. Robert A. Yourell —Preceding comment was added at 09:07, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
(The following is another version of deleted article Panetics, taken from Google cache)
Panetics is panethical - the semantic and synergistic relationship is intentional - it is a science and field of study and application created by Ralph_G.H._Siu to describe an area of practice concerend with the infliction of suffering and its reduction. The Term "paneti" which means "to inflict" in Pali, the language of the Buddha was selected to look into the dukkha and sukkha for guiding the human path and future lives, or more specific and down to daily conduct for leaders, in decision making, good behaviour or statesmenship (governance). The term "panethics" was first coined by Professor Rudolph Krejci in 1986. Its essence is to synthesize thinking from both East and West into a readily understandable and agreed upon system of ethics. It is based upon the fundamental principle that no one has the right to inflict distress, pain and anguish on another.
The founder of Panetics has studied the inceasing mutual inflictions of suffering by practically everyone and the neglect of this pervasive and degenerating human deficiency by the academic community. He requested a new and vigorous academic discipline, called panetics. This field is devoted to the study of the infliction of suffering. The nature, scope, illustrative contents, and social value are subject of panetics. "The dukkha is proposed as a semiquantitative unit of suffering to assist in associated analytical operations." Siu, 1988 Síu's higher national service, Chinese and cross-cultural transdisciplinary background alowed him not only to revist the Tao or Dao (道 [1], but to look into how we raise and train policy and decision makers. This has much to implications on Peacemaking and Mediation, see also Galtung below [2], or [3] [4]

Panetics the Study of the Infliction of Suffering
R. G.H. Siu
Abstract:
After analyzing the unceasing mutual inflictions of suffering by practically everyone and the neglect of this pervasive and degenerating human deficiency by the academic community, I urge the immediate creation of a new and vigorous academic discipline, called panetics, to be devoted to the study of the infliction of suffering. The nature, scope, illustrative contents, and social value are outlined. The dukkha is proposed as a semiquantitative unit of suffering to assist in associated analytical operations.
Ralph Gun Hoy Siu is a distinguished American author, scholar, military, and civil servant. He was born in 1917 in Honolulu, Hawaii, and died in 1999 in Washington, D.C.
Dr. Siu obtained his Bachelors degree (1939) and Masters degree (1941) from the University of Hawaii, and Ph.D. degree (1943) in biochemistry from the California Institute of Technology. He then entered the United States Army Quartermaster Corps and headed a team of researchers that developed new "jungle type" fabrics, clothing and equipment. As the Quartermaster Corps’ Director of Laboratories and Chief Scientific and Technical Director for more than a decade (1948-62), Dr. Siu spearheaded numerous critical projects, including pioneer efforts on irradiated food – a key component of President Eisenhower’s Atoms-For-Peace program. [2]
Around 1968, Dr. Siu was named civil servant of the year, and was thereafter appointed by President Johnson for directing the newly created National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice.[3]
From 1957 to 1980, Dr. Siu produced several books, published by editors like MIT Press or John Wiley & Sons Inc. Most notable among them are The Tao of Science, and The Craft of Power.
In 1986, the Journal of Humanistic Psychology published an article by Ralph Siu entitled Panetics --The Study of the Infliction of Suffering.[4] Here is the abstract:
After analyzing the unceasing mutual inflictions of suffering by practically everyone and the neglect of this pervasive and degenerating human deficiency by the academic community, I urge the immediate creation of a new and vigorous academic discipline, called panetics, to be devoted to the study of the infliction of suffering. The nature, scope, illustrative contents, and social value are outlined. The dukkha is proposed as a semiquantitative unit of suffering to assist in associated analytical operations.
In 1991, the International Society for Panetics was founded by Ralph Siu and some sixty scientists, physicians, business leaders, scholars, artists and writers from several countries, among which such notable people as Kenneth Boulding or Johan Galtung.[5] The Society is dedicated to the study and development of ways to reduce the infliction of human suffering by individuals, corporations, governments, professions, social groups and other institutions. It issues a journal, Panetics, and it sponsors the annual Ralph G. H. Siu Memorial Lecture in Washington, D.C., featuring a prominent speaker on a subject of concern to Panetics. Past speakers have included Peter Caws, University Professor of Philosophy, Richard Shifter, former Assistant Secretary of State for Human rights and Humanitarian Affairs, and Joseph Rotblat, President of the Pugwash Conference on Science and World Affairs and a winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace.
In the words of Anthony Judge, who masterminded and was responsible for the Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential, "Siu was an early pioneer in creating a bridge between Eastern and Western cultures", and "is an exemplar of lifelong dedication to complex issues having fundamental humanitarian implications."[6]
