Discovering an Integral Civic Consciousness in a Global Age. This essay was originally published in the March 2012 issue of the Journal of Integral Theory and Practice. Click here to purchase the full issue. This article asks why, in an age of global crisis, global governance still remains a low priority for the integral community. It posits a civic line of development, suggesting only those possessing a worldcentric level of civic awareness can fully comprehend global problems and the need for binding global governance. I argue that modern (orange altitude), postmodern (green altitude), and even low vision-logic (teal altitude) worldviews still see global problems nationcentrically rather than worldcentrically. I explore this limitation in light of destructive international competition; a key and potentially catastrophic phenomenon that, it is argued, shows why only a worldcentric, late vision-logic (turquoise altitude) civic consciousness can disclose solutions to the global crisis.

The Civic Holarchy Integral Civic Consciousness Figure 1. The homepage of Roy Lachica. Forget IQ, Collective Intelligence is the New Measure of Smart (video. We may focus on the stories of individual genius, but it will be harnessing the intelligence of the collective that enables humanity to solve its future problems. Do you know your IQ, that little number that’s supposed to measure how smart you are?

Forget it. Individual intelligence is old news, collective intelligence (CI) is the future. And it’s already here. Collective intelligence can include distributed computing. Another reason why CI will dominate IQ is that individual intelligence is subsumed by the collective. To this end, CCI at MIT is working to understand and guide collective intelligence. Collective intelligence can also take the form of collective art or creativity.

Kim-Ung Yong might be the world’s smartest man, his IQ is reportedly 210. [sources: Indiana University, CCI at MIT] Au pire ça marche. Graphic: Collective Intelligence Application Framework.

By George Pór george.por@insead.fr an updated version of paper presented at the Global Brain Workshop, Brussels, July 3-5, 2001 version 01.07.26 Abstract The dual aim of this essay is to: • Identify design qualities and opportunities for optimizing our global nervous system for the emergence of web-enabled collective intelligence.

. • Call for a large-scale research collaboration to explore the potential of globally distributed intelligence for solving world problems and closing the gap between the human condition and human potential. Our motivation is to present a framework for the "social evolution" dimension of Global Brain research, coherent enough to attract the peer attention necessary to refine it and collaboratively develop it into a source document suitable to guide our work in that dimension. This paper is the final, updated version of my presentation at the GB workshop, complete with the graphics and references. It’s comprised of the following sections: 1. 1. 2. 4. Human experience? Anthropology – Discovery of Collective Intelligence | The Unicist Approach to Economics. The discovery of collective intelligence allowed building a bridge between the archetypes and lifestyles of cultures and the social, institutional and individual behavior.

Individual intelligence is always empowered or inhibited by the lifestyle of a culture which is driven by the fundamentals of the archetype. Collective intelligence is the driver that allows building intelligent synergy among the members of a society to better adapt to the environment. It is easily noticeable in animals, such as ants and rats. It empowers their survival capacity and the expansion of their species. Collective intelligence provides behavioral patterns that establish the cohabitation rules of a society and defines who is a member and who is an alien. The collective intelligence is defined by the archetype of a culture and becomes materialized in its lifestyle.

Collective intelligence is the intelligence that allows social capital building and institutionalizing. Peter Belohlavek.

Collective intelligence, as a field of study and practice, is taking off. Collective intelligence, as a field of study and practice, is taking off Summary: Collective intelligence, as a field of study and practice, is taking off. Some really interesting work is being done, quite beyond the dialogue and deliberative democracy realms we focus on at the Co-Intelligence Institute.

It turns out that even when thousands of people don't talk to each other at all, they can still be (somewhat mysteriously) collectively brilliant in solving problems. All told, there seem to be at least eight different -- and often mutually reinforcing -- types of collective intelligence, which are briefly described here. Some of the most interesting explorations of this field come from five sources we've recently bumped into: WHAT IS ENLIGHTENMENT? Think about the best and worst meetings you've attended.

All around us we see evidence that groups of people are often less intelligent -- and occasionally more intelligent -- than their members are as individuals. Enjoy them all. 1. 2. 3. Colligence - Intelligence collective. OSS.Net, Inc. Home Page. Humans, Machines and Collective Intelligence. Tom Malone gave a very interesting talk on collective intelligence at the IBM Cognitive Systems Colloquium which I recently attended and wrote about. Malone is Professor of Management at MIT’s Sloan School and the founding director of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence (CCI). His research is primarily driven by this fundamental question: “How can people and computers be connected so that - collectively - they act more intelligently than any individuals, groups, or computers have ever done before?”

This is a very important question to explore to help us understand the impact of our increasingly smart machines on the very nature of work and organizations. Malone and his collaborators are conducting research on a number of topics in this area. Do groups exhibit characteristic levels of intelligence which can be measured and used to predict the group’s performance across a wide variety of cognitive tasks? Public Intelligence Blog. FoCAS | Fundamentals of Collective Adaptive Systems. Crowdsourcing vs Collective Intelligence. What's the diff? Thanks to intrepid design blogger, oyster fiend, and “bro”, John DiPalma and his solid blog at DesignRising, I’ve been coerced into writing much richer blog posts about the topics that I’m exploring. So, here goes the first in a series of attempts to share some meatier topics and the findings that I’m uncovering.

As the title of this blog suggests (and if you’ve ventured as far as reading the “Project” section) I’m exploring the role of collective intelligence in design. When I describe my research to people, I usually start with the description of collective intelligence, and then quickly find myself falling back on the more commonly known crowdsourcing. If that doesn’t work, I run through others like open innovation and wisdom of crowds to try and paint a clearer picture for those that are unfamiliar with the concepts; all of which revolve around mass, open innovation.

Evolving Collective Intelligence. Modèles de l'intelligence collective des sociétés. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Des communautés intelligentes qui s’auto-organisent, sans chef, qui réagissent instantanément à un message, peuvent communiquer et débattre entre elles : voilà actuellement le modèle standard de l’« intelligence collective » des sciences cognitives. Ce modèle repose sur un principe simple et séduisant : la coopération d’entités multiples aboutit à la formation d’une intelligence supérieure par l’émergence de propriétés cognitives nouvelles. Il est appliqué autant aux sociétés d’insectes (les fourmis), aux neurones d’un cerveau, aux organisations humaines (les communautés), qu’aux réseaux d’ordinateurs (l’Internet). Le modèle des « agents réactifs » : l’exemple des sociétés de fourmis[modifier | modifier le code] Ce modèle standard est inspiré de systèmes informatiques, les systèmes multi-agents (SMA) [1], où une série d’agents autonomes interagissent en suivant chacun des comportements simples.

The sheer number of ideas, the complexity, and the contribution it has made to chess make it the most important game ever played. -Garry Kasparov (World Chess Champion) in a Reuters interview conducted during his 1999 game against the World In 1999, world chess champion Garry Kasparov, widely acknowledged as the greatest player in the history of the game, agreed to participate in a chess match sponsored by Microsoft, playing against “the World”. One move was to be made each 24 hours, with the World’s move being decided by a vote; anyone at all was allowed to vote on the World Team’s next move.

The game was staggering. After 62 moves of innovative chess, in which the balance of the game changed several times, the World Team finally resigned. Kasparov revealed that during the game he often couldn’t tell who was winning and who was losing, and that it wasn’t until after the 51st move that the balance swung decisively in his favour.

Just think of nature. Hasn't life been moving towards increasing complexity from the single-cellular to the multi-cellular organism, from worms to mammalians and humans? (To let that really sink in, use the Cellular Complexity painting above, by David Sweatt, as a meditation object. The move towards more complexity doesn't stop in adulthood. Facing the overwhelming complexity of today's world, the "natural" response is to look back and long for a lost "natural rhythm and pace. " I know, it's easier said than done.
