IEd: I think human collective intelligence is going to be one of the most important technologies, if mankind, is to fare well in its transition through the worm-hole of the singularity to the trans-human future. Although a life-long Republican I have been very impressed by Barack Obama's very forward looking policy statements on technology, the internet, and how the internet can be used to make government more efficient and more democratic
The collective intelligence point is interesting & important (& yes a good part of Obama's defeat of Hillary is down to his understanding how to use the Net's collective power, and her not doing so). Obviously the internet is massively advancing collective intelligence. But do you have or admire any proposals for the collective future? My one comment about this & other intellectual net groups generally is that they haven't yet acquired a true creative culture. That, for me, would entail having special creative threads, which start with one of the major creative problems of the group, and where every contributor has to put forward an idea towards a solution and/or an improvement of other people's ideas. Proper brainstorming threads. ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=108809214-a0d121 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
