I am speaking of a process of mental organisation throughout the world which I believe to be as inevitable as anything can be in human affairs. The world has to pull its mind together, and this is the beginning of its effort. The world is a Phoenix. It perishes in flames and even as it dies it is born again. This synthesis of knowledge is the necessary beginning to the new world.

The Global Heart

For centuries, humanity has dreamed of a global mind. Philosophers imagined it long before technology made it possible. Today, the internet has come remarkably close to creating such a thing. Billions of people are connected through networks that transmit ideas instantly across oceans and continents. Information flows faster than ever before. Knowledge accumulates at astonishing speed. In many…

We see people, machines and software systems as agents that communicate via a complex network of communication links. Problems, observations, or opportunities define challenges that stimulate these agents to act.Challenges that cannot be fully resolved by a single agent are propagated to other agents, along the links in the network. These agents contribute their own expertise to resolving the challenge. If necessary, they propagate the challenge further, until it is fully resolved. Thus, the skills of the different agents are pooled into a collective intelligence much greater than the intelligence of its individual members.The propagation of challenges across the global network is a complex process of self-organization. It is similar to the "spreading activation" that characterizes thinking in the human brain. This process will typically change the network by reinforcing useful links, while weakening less useful ones. Thus, the network learns and adapts to new challenges, becoming ever more intelligent.

HIVE MIND? 5G, SMART GRID, AND THE COMING “GLOBAL BRAIN”

HIVE MIND? 5G, SMART GRID, AND THE COMING “GLOBAL BRAIN”

By The Daily Sheeple

A lot of people look at their smart phones and just see a little phone with a computer in it. They have no idea what is coming our way with the smart grid, the Internet of Things, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and, simply put, the technological evolution of man.

The singularity isn’t what people have been led to believe… and it’s right around the corner.

Stumbled across this gem today. Heads-up, it’s a long read.

Here are some of my favorite quotes from the post:

"Now, for the first time in its billions of years of history, our planet is protected by far-seeing sentinels, able to anticipate danger from the distant future–a comet on a collision course, or global warming–and devise schemes for doing something about it. The planet has finally grown its own nervous system: us."

"Intelligence is a problem solving computation."

"Even if you feel as though you are the centralized solver of problems for yourself…this is an illusion. The brains information uses you to solve problems, not the other way around."

"Just as all negative emotions in our brains emerge from a failure to reach “goal state”, so all pessimism about the state of the world emerges from our collective failure to reach the goal state (i.e., stop global warming)."
