UNDERSTANDING SOME UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES

Social Complexity

Emergency in social and cultural networks

Cultural emergency by immerging intelligence and

information

The Universe evolution is based on Emergency

Principles

Collective Intelligence

WEB 3.0WEB 3.0

Building a collective intelligence by using contextual data and a set of global definitions or ontologies added to the current human digital knowledge in order to create a global intelligence

Gilbert Durand > Historic Memory

Societies have periods of historic memory passed from grandparents to grandsons and therefore traditional knowledge and

mythologies are transmitted

Social Intelligence and Human Evolution

Two big evolutive jumps on Human Intelligence:

Social beheavior

Language

And perhaps we are about to live another one: “The Singularity”

Towards Collective Conscience

Generating Collective Intelligence by immerging information is not enough for sustainability.

We need a way to process that information and select the best one for our specific condition and

location.

And, understand the way in which this information is linked to each other and ourselves.

We should do something,but how? what?

Understanding our realities

Individual intelligence becomes a collective one, and then building culture, relationships and conscience towards social awareness of the whole.

Each individual sees the world according to its own experience and limitations.

We can find out more about all those different realities by using technological developments like Semantic Web and other Information Technology for building a digital Collective Intelligence.

Look inside

We use these ideas in our own communities, promoting social responsibility and knowledge exchange in order to improve our collective quality of life.

Promote self-awareness in the communities.

Trust in the emergency principle and keep moving forward to create Cultural change.

CONCLUSIONS

We presented few examples of where and how collective intelligence and conscience can be enhanced by using information technology tools

Real people and communities have to be involved in this process and create that information that can contribute to that collective intelligence by immerging intelligence, generating awareness and conscience.

Julius is a semantic web application to support community development by exchanging information and contextual data.
