Please distribute to others who may be interested... You are hereby invited to a seminar in our twelfth interdisciplinary series on Evolution, Complexity and Cognition <http://ecco.vub.ac.be/?q=node/108> (ECCO 2015-2016)
Time: Friday November 6 , 14h-16h Place: * D.2.16 , VUB* ------------------------------ Collective Intelligence - a New Research Discipline Jean-François Noubel <http://noubel.com/> (CIR) Abstract: Collective intelligence has become a new discipline that explores how collectives, in the animal and plant world, can exist as coherent autonomous wholes. What conditions does it take for a social organism to exist? How many forms of collective intelligence can we observe? How do they differ from one another? Which ones apply to the human species? What does evolution show us? Collective intelligence helps us address all these questions, it also provides us with powerful methods to investigate human evolution and the rise of a planetary super-organism. During this talk I will try try to give an overview of this new discipline from 2 complementary perspectives: the external objective observation, and the internal subjective experience. Short bio: For the past 15 years, Jean-François Noubel has dedicated his life to collective intelligence, both from a scientific and a practical R&D approach. This has lead him to live an experimental life where he explores how the collective operates inside the individual self, and how we can evolve it through specific actions. For this he decided to leave any social status in order to have an "out of the matrix" experience. Jean-François also works on post-monetary technologies in order to support the next economies in the next forms of collective intelligence. He gives lectures and conferences all across the world and provides strategic advice for global leaders seeking to evolve their organizations. Prior to that, JF had a corporate life and contributed to introduce the Internet in France in the mid-90's. ------------------------------ Upcoming Seminars *Nov. 13 * Clément Vidal *The Big Future* *Nov. 20* Martin Monperrus *Nov. 27 * Sayfan G.
