Global Futures Collective Intelligence System The Millennium Project is integrating all of its information, groups, and software into a "Global Futures Intelligence System." GFIS* is The Millennium Project’s new way for you to participate with and have access to all of our resources in one place. Those who buy a one-year subscription can interact with all the elements of the system, make suggestions, initiate discussions with experts around the world, and search through over 10,000 pages of futures research and 1,300 pages of methods. The text has built-in Google translation with 52 languages. MP Node chairs and content reviewers will have free access. Introduction to the Global Futures Intelligence System Instead of publishing the State of the Future once a year, the material is being updated in the Global Futures Intelligence System on a continual basis – the same is true with Futures Research Methodology – you do not have to wait five or so years to get a new version. All of this can be computer-searched.
George Orwell: free web books, online Biographical note George Orwell was the pen name used by British author and journalist Eric Arthur Blair. During most of his professional life time Orwell was best known for his journalism, both in the British press and in books such as Homage to Catalonia, describing his activities during the Spanish Civil War, and Down and Out in Paris and London, describing a period of poverty in these cities.

Institut francophone d'intelligence collective - IFIC - Accueil 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. Civics entails the rights and duties of citizenship and the role citizens have in establishing, shaping, and overseeing government at any level (Altinay, 2010). If, for example, a citizen could not perceive national-scale problems, or mistook them as being of a merely local nature, she would see no need for national governance at all.
Public Intelligence Blog Blog of Collective Intelligence: Spiral Dynamics & the Colors of CI Archives > all complex civilisations have collapsed at one point or another. Only 'simple' societies have managed to survive. Just think of nature. 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. Vannevar Bush on the new relationship between 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. To date, I’ve been comfortable with considering collective intelligence as the intellectual potential of a large group of individuals to make better, more informed decisions and choices than individual experts. When it comes to crowd-sourcing, I have conventionally viewed it as a mechanism with which to implement the broader concept of collective intelligence. Collective Intelligence The term collective intelligence is generally credited to Pierre Lévy in a 1994 book “L’Intelligence collective. Crowdsourcing
Designing for the Emergence 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?
The homepage of Roy Lachica 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. Comment s’y prennent-elles?
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. 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. The collective intelligence works as a catalyst and as a gravitational force for individual intelligence.
Kasparov versus the World It is the greatest game in the history of chess. 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. What is particularly amazing is that although the World Team had input from some very strong players, none were as strong as Kasparov himself, and the average quality was vastly below Kasparov’s level. How was this remarkable feat achieved? Microsoft appointed four official advisors to the World Team. Further reading
