Intelligence Is Self Teaching.jpg

That intelligence is primarily an auto-didactic force of nature appears to be self evident. The complex forms and systems it can take on transcend our own "personal" intelligence. Social networks now are showing the degree of high wisdom and humor that can erupt from our collective intelligence as the Internet completely exploits our "self teaching" ability and our intelligence increases as a whole.

Networks of Grace

From my study of terrorist and fundamentalist organizations, I had learned that they rely on small cells of people who sustain and inspire each other. I envisioned a network of individual cells of people praying, meditating, and acting together for positive change on local or international issues. Now there are a dozen "Networks of Grace" cells around the country. (more)

Samasource: Giving Work

Mariana Martinez

Is it really possible to run a successful business enterprise that also helps people in need? Moreover one that transcends borders, bypasses governments, and circumvents the rules set by economists in order to create sustainable growth for those who need it most? Founder and CEO of Samasource, 26-year-old Leila Chirayath Janah, certainly thinks so. (more)

Living in the Material World

Being an intellectual is no longer just for "academics" and the nerd minority; all who are capable of learning deeply and broadly have to do it in one way or another. As they used to say in my parents' day, "don't you know there's a war on?" (more)

Jennifer Dumpert

On the last Saturday of the month, Oneironauticum participants enter dream space together. We do this by sharing things that induce vivid dreams – often substances but sometimes practices or sensory triggers.

Building a Scaffold for Social Change

Daniel Pinchbeck

Most popular social networks are designed to support the "flattered self" and to make a profit for large corporations. Evolver.net is an independent network designed to engage people in transforming their own consciousness and their local communities. (more)

The Nature of Good Old Diebold (G.O.D.)

Moses 2.0

[Time for An Upgrade] • G.O.D. is an idea or an intent given corporal form. Interestingly, the people that reify corporations generally do so in order to limit personal responsibility and liability. Then the high executives act in the name of G.O.D. with protection from direct judgment. There is a higher power, however, that the high executives of G.O.D. do have to answer to: The Board. (more)

Time for An Upgrade

Moses 2.0

Moses 1.0 – best known as the "5 Books of Moses" – are a set of instructions that are followed by the machine we call society. These instructions are meant to cause that machine to exhibit a set of desirable behaviors and functions. But we know that usage is dropping off. What will make the product more appealing to today’s sophisticated user base? (more)
