The Global Brain Project - A World Evolution Initiative
It is, however, a site with more than just ideas to promulgate. It is a site where people can take action to change things. By signing up to become neurons in the global brain, people are acknowledging their role in helping to structure the future. Although, whether we like it or not, we are all part of the existing global brain, acknowledgement of our place in the global neural network has significant effects. Every self-aware neuron brings increasing coherence and self-identity to the global brain and adds a minute but significant amount of power to the force with which the brain ‘thinks.’ The defining quality of human intelligence is self-awareness.
Topic: "The future of business: how to benefit from the global shift to a networked society" HBR Poland Keynote: Futurist & Keynote Speaker Gerd Leonhard The Internet, or to be more precise, the mobile and social 'Internet 2.0' that has exploded in the past 2 years, is dramatically changing the way we find and are found, how we relate to our customers (and vice versa), and by extension how we buy and sell. In a networked society, the-people-formerly-known-as-consumers are becoming more powerful by the minute; transparency rules and more often than not, interaction comes before transaction and attention is the currency.

This article presents some thoughts about the future of intelligence on Earth. In particular, I discuss the similarities between the Internet and the brain, and how I believe the emerging Semantic Web will make this similarity even greater. The Semantic Web enables the formal communication of a higher level of language -- metalanguage.

The future of humanity involves a complex combination of technological, psychological, and social factors – and one of the difficulties we face in comprehending and crafting this future is that not many people or organizations are adept at handling all of these aspects. Dr. Stephen Omohundro is one of the fortunate exceptions to this general pattern, and this is part of what gives his contributions to the futurist domain such a unique and refreshing twist.

Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions, when they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait? Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

What is the Psychesingularity? « psychesingularity
As I mentioned in the introduction , Psyche is the greek god/word for the mind or soul. “Psychesingularity” therefore means the convergence of minds/souls into a singular entity. I argue in this blog that the most significant aspect of the technological singularity is the convergence of individual human identities into one, the formation of the superconsciousness of the human race. This is where my argument begins.
I feel that I should be quite explicit here in case this connection has not been fully formed for some readers. I’ve talked in this blog about the joining of our thoughts and identities, the convergence of our consciousness , and the internet is a huge part of that. Of course the internet isn’t everything.
The Internet is Our Superconsciousness « psychesingularity
The mind is like a richly woven tapestry in which the colors are distilled from the experiences of the senses, and the design drawn from the convolutions of the intellect. Carson McCullers Imagine yourself as a neuron. You are connected to many other neurons. You are continuously receiving information from many different directions, deciding which information to pay attention to, and which not. You are constantly synthesizing this flow of information into some form of meaning — a best understanding of the current situation — and then you share that best understanding with your friends.

Internet map of the Middle East A computer defeats humans on a television game show. An information network brings down a series of dictatorships. We are witnessing a massive explosion in data, and an equally massive explosion in our ability to process and distribute it.An Update on Global Workspace Theory The idea that consciousness has an integrative function has a long history. The late Francisco Varela and colleagues called it the “brainweb” (2002). Global Workspace theory suggests a fleeting memory capacity that enables access between brain functions that are otherwise separate.

The Global Brain ~ ✿ Gaian Spirit ✿ - Psychedelic Adventure
The Global Brain is a fantastic short documentary by Peter Russell on the awakening of human consciousness to it's inherent unity with the absolute. The documentary begins with Peter Russell speaking about the spiritual experience of astronauts going into space who view Earth from a celestial point of view where all illusionary boundaries that keep us separated and divided dissolve ... The Astronauts experienced Earth as a living being and realized how all life in all it's multiplicity and variety is essentially a part of Gaian Consciousness, the Global Brain ... In the book, 'The Global Brain' Peter Russell shows that humanity has reached a crossroads in its evolutionary path. The Internet is linking humanity into one, worldwide community - a "global brain".This image, captured in May 1999, maps all backbone routers based on distance from Lumeta's mapping host in New Jersey. On the color scale, yellow represents the closest nodes, while dark red is farthest away. Readers can construct their own metaphors about this image's similarity to neural networks of a human brain.
