A Mind Revolution By: Stephanie Noss

 An idea by Isaac Mao.  The key motivator of Social Media and the core spirit of Web 2.0 is a mind switch.  Suggests a re-orientation of personal values.  A mental practice that anyone can try.  A social-psychological attitude to transform a wide and isolated world into a super-smart Social Brain.

 Sharism is encoded in the Human Genome.  The theory of Sharism finds an origin in neuroscience and its study of the working model of the human brain.  A neuron, shares chemical signals with its neighbors, which keep the neuron active and alive.  A neural network subsists to share activity and information.

 Non-sharing culture misleads with its separation of Private and Public space.  Sharism makes creative action a binary choice between public and private, open and closed.  Not sharing reates a gap in the spectrum of knowledge.  The paradox is: The less you share, the less power you have.

 Encourage someone to share, his or her sharing paths will stay open.  It will be kept in his or her mind as a memory and an instinct  In the future, his or her creative choice will be to “share.”

 Is the Spirit of the Age of Web 2.0.  It has the reliability of a naturalized Epistemology and modernized Axiology.  Assures the power of a new Internet philosophy.  Will convert the world into an emergent Social Brain: a networked hybrid of people and software.
