June 30, 2003Double helix of social evolutionVisiting with a friend in San Francisco, I picked up a book which probes the posibility that information transmitted by coherent biophotonic light that living cells--including our DNA--produce, can be received in defocalized state of consciousness. It’s “The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge” by Jeremy Narby. What struck me is the connection of what biologists know about the DNA with the relationship between factors that drive humankind socioeconomic evolution that I tried explore and visualize here and the two slides following that one. The following statements from Narby’s book triggered some interesting questions for me: Posted by George Por, Mon, Jun 30 2003 06:25 PM Comments (0) | TrackBack (0) Categories: Collective Intellect Augments Individual | ________________________________________________________ June 13, 2003Are we curious enough?Robin Good and John Kellden commented on "Innervation leading to synchronicity?". Their comments inspired the following message. Robin and John, thanks to you for coming back here and commenting. In a small scale, your act is part of what I referred to, using Teilhard's term, as "innervation."

Ideas and concepts are not only technologically subsidized and in their ability to spread and feed each other, but new concepts and worldviews are simultaneously accessed from multiple individual viewpoints during this very time. Below is what Robin's thoughts inspired.

It comes from Pierre-Léonard Harvey, a professor of "communautique" at Université de Québec à Montréal: "Les infrastructures et les technologies devraient être subordonnées aux relations cognitives (l'individu négociant avec l'environnement informationnel) et aux relations qui se développent... dans le processus de production des connaissances. Il nous faut concevoir l'individu comme un système vivant qui cherche à contrôler et à gérer l'information qui lui vient du monde extérieur." A surprisingly good Google translation to English and my comment follows.
