In this seminar we present our work related to the vision of the Global Brain and the future of human society as a global cognitive system. We discuss distributed social governance as a bootstrapping mechanism and mobilization system for the Global Brain and its evolution as a cognitive agency. We also argue, based on the concepts of fragility and antifragility, why a World of Views is likely to be the only feasible configuration capable of sustaining the Singularity as a process of intelligence escaping its biological constraints.
Our envisioning of the brink of Singularity begins with redefining Singularity as an historical process rather than an event. It is the process of continuous intelligence expansion since the beginning of human civilization. We emphasize the value and significance of the continuity of this process rather than the intermediate stages through which it passes. By that, we position the brink of Singularity situation within the continuum of human evolution, the evolution of life and evolution as a universal process.
We raise the question what would be the desired configuration and dynamics of the sociotechnological system able to facilitate open-ended intelligence expansion. A World of Views is our vision of such a configuration. It is based on developing a framework of distributed cognition adapted for the world sociotechnological system. We also use this framework for asking general questions about intelligence expansion.

Systemic Thinking Tools for Social Impacttheideahive
Brief introduction to systems and systemic thinking ; how to identify a complex issue; tools that elicit the wisdom in a diverse group to address complexity.
Presented Feb 1, 2011 at Hub SOMA, SF by The Idea Hive
This presentation is an introduction to THINKING STRATEGIES, including Meta-Cognition, Lateral, Parallel, Critical, Creative & Systematic Thinking. Each slide includes the notes explaining the slide information. It includes thinking games to get the student to implement the strategies.
Historical evolution of the design object, from construction materials to emergent performances. It presents a coherent theory of use value, cocreation, experience design and more. This is the first slide of the Design Thinking course given by Frederick van Amstel at PUCPR.
Thinking Tools allows children to develop higher order thinking skills like creative thinking and problem solving skills. At Miyav Learning, We published a series of activity books based on the Thinking Tools- creative frame work developed by a scientist.

This document summarises the findings from a major foresight programme that identified the nature of future social needs and considered how organisations are expected to address these.
Undertaken via a combination of research, one-on-one interviews, discussion forums and major workshops held on three continents, this programme has explored multiple perspectives with experts and informed people from over 100 different organisations.
The insights were gained as part of a wider project for Barclays Bank plc. that has been building on its current Citizenship platform and looking ahead to shifts and options for change in the world in 2020.
This summary is being shared directly with all participants in the discussions as a record of the dialogue and its conclusions. In addition, it is also been made more widely available for continued discussion and feedback.

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.
This presentation by Morris Kleiner (University of Minnesota), was made during the discussion “Competition and Regulation in Professions and Occupations” held at the Working Party No. 2 on Competition and Regulation on 10 June 2024. More papers and presentations on the topic can be found out at oe.cd/crps.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

Open-ended intelligence expansion:
The determinant of the ’greater good’ and ’well
being’ of both of individuals and collectives at all
scales.
Intelligence is (a working definition):
The progressive process of sense-making of
self(other) / environment/ universe;
Intelligence expansion is:
an increasing ability of sense-making.

Sense-making is:
A motivated, continuous effort to understand
connections (e.g. among people, objects, places,
events etc.) in order to anticipate their trajectories
and act effectively. [Klein et al., 2006, p. 3]
Aspects of sense-making:
1 Identity and identification;
2 Retrospection;
3 Enaction;
4 Ongoing;
5 Reflexive;

Sense-making ⇒ a worldview
A worldview is a gestalt perception in relation to
self, others, society, and the cosmos at large;
Every worldview is essentially subjective and
depends on the choices of the agents sharing them;
A worldview is an integral system of sense-making;
The intelligence expansion is synonymous with the
evolution of worldview;
A worldview emerges during sense-making and
defines the entity holding it;

We formulate principles of the framework which
enables governance regimes to self-organize;
The Global Brain misses the encompassing milieu,
therefore the development of its agential capabilities
will be arrested beyond a certain stage;
The World of Views approach maintains multiplicity
at the highest level, providing an ecology of
