Collective intelligence the new source of empowerment zTools : digital communication, sharing of memory, perception and imagination. zProcess : collective learning and creativity, exchange of knowledge, competitive cooperation and cooperative competition in the production of knowledge zThe Art of multiplying intelligence zGames where the winners enhance and use the available intelligence and cooperate more efficiently zGround : living unity and diversity of the noosphere: the world of language interconnected in cyberspace
3
Knowledge in flux : the second flood zThe end of knowledge in stock ; knowledge in flux and general drifting zYoung people can be more skilled than their elders, ancient ways of cultural transmission are outdated zWhat must we put in the ark ? Classifications and hierarchies are temporary and incidental. Several arks practicing collective intelligence. zGrowing responsibility of individuals and groups in the search, production and selection of knowledge. zLearning navigation (there will be no landing)

Evolution of language life : improvements of collective memory noosphere Constitution of the noosphere : ubiquity and interconnection of cultural signs in cyberspace. Writing gains abilities for autonmous action (software and robots) Technical self-reproduction of the alphabet and images Writing becomes digital and universal Autonomous technical memory of language myths, rites, oral transmission, memory inscribed in matterOrality Writing Alphabet Printing Press Cyberspace
5
Evolution of language life : forms in progressOrality Writing Alphabet Printing Press Cyberspace Agriculture, livestock farming, city, state, law, systematic knowledge, school Technique, art, images, music, religion, complex social rules Monotheism, money, commerce, citizenship, universal science Experimental science, mass industry, capitalism, global market, human rights, modern democracies Deliberate collective intelligence, omnivision, economy of knowledge and ideas, global cyberdemocracy, culture of diversity, conscious piloting of biospere’s evolution

Informational capitalism creation from digital grace regulation from cyberdemocratic law main economic goods non exclusive appropriation ubiquity in cyberspace main production factor unexpected communism Planetary public services Megamergers : 3 multinational companies for each econommic sector worldwide. Conscious investment Shares possessed by the global population playing the stock marcket on line.. Conscious consumption controlled by a transparent cybermarket. Information collective intelligence and creativity Learning organisations Intertwining virtual communities of knowledge workers, consumers, investors and partners. Continuous revolution in products, management, finance, marketing, etc. Cooperative competition Competitive advantage to the inventors of the most cooperative games.

What does distinguish the philosophy of collective intelligence ? Mind’s life - negative dialectic in the inner monologue of the absolute mind - mutual questioning and cross interpretations of stories in the multilogic meeting place of collective intelligence Ontology and epistemology - realism : we should recognize that things are as they are - constructivism : we are committed to a creative co-evolutionary process with our environment Goal - power (sterilization of the other) - empowerment (fertility, creativity) Practical strategy - power struggle (what is at stake is defeat or victory) - interpretation relationship (what is at stake is creation of meaning)
21
Collective intelligence ethics zEach one of us is an automous and responsible source of meaning. zWe can enrich our world by integrating others as autonomous interpretation centers who are complete worlds in themselves. zWhat is to be done with the other’s meaning production ? Ignore it, tolérate it, despise it, beat it, imitate it…? this would not be a dialogue. zCollective intelligence is the reciprocal implication and mutual recognition of autonomous world ’s sources.
