In February, I wrote about Tom Atlee, pioneer of “co-intelligence”, whom I have the honor to call a friend. Tom talks about the following 5 dimensions of co-intelligence: multi-modal intelligence, collaborative intelligence, wisdom, collective intelligence and universal intelligence. His definitions are rich, reflecting decades of engaged research as a philosopher and social activist. He says, “If we are to know life at a deeper, more engaged level, we’ll need to develop a deeper, more engaged intelligence that includes all these dimensions.” and I tend to agree with him.
What prompted this blog entry is Tom’s soon-to-be-relased book, the “The Tao of Democracy: Using Co-Intelligence to Create a World That Works for All”. I think the book is a must read for every student of the emerging interdisciplinary field of collective intelligence and particularly those who want to apply its principles, models, and practices to build a better world.

What is collective intelligence?
Collective intelligence is the capacity of human communities to evolve towards higher order complexity and harmony, through such innovation mechanisms as variation-feedback-selection, differentiation-integration-transformation, and competition-cooperation-coopetitionCategories

Dynamic Facilitation
Inspired by George’s posting about Tom Atlee it may be worth mentioning that an excellent method for influencing the timing and rhytm of a community, may be the use of so-called dynamic facilitation. It’s a process first described by Tom’s…
Dear Reader,
My name is Mattis Manzel, born 1960 in Berlin, grown up in Berlin (West), German writer. In February I had an idea, which first frightened me, as the idea was pretty big. Since middle of July I’m working on-line on a presentation of my idea. Meanwhile I wrote some text and provided a start page. I recently translated the whole unfinished German throw to English. I work intensively and update the web page several times daily. The text is incomplete, the form is puzzled and requires order. Nevertheless I started some days ago to step out into the public with my idea. I do this, because I am afraid that there is a hurry to start a public discussion on it.
The goal of my idea is:
- the creation of peace and justice on earth by global decentralized democracy or – more precisely – the waking of collective human intelligence.
- the displacement of the conventional currencies by an excluding virtual currency: “Terra”.
Mankind uses for common decision making a computer program (which is to be commonly developed) and the world-wide data network. The behavior of the program is steered by the participating humans.
Preparations could take place on a Wiki.
Please do not take my idea for a joke. It is about as serious as the internet.
I cordially thank you for that and wish you a beautiful day.

I too believe a collective conscioussness of wisdom is about to be born. Exactly what the catalyst will be for this maturation of the human race, I am not sure. However, I feel rather certain it will be a dual process; on the one hand it will be from Fear of a civilization experiencing a huge threshold of disintegration, and on the other from Faith in a vision of a critical mass of mature enlightened and unified souls who agree to a more refined global system of an international democratic federal united nations.
The Baha’i Faith has such a vision of that direction. It has a map of global reform which is
now, to a great degree already under way.
I invite anyone to investigate this international
reform process.

Peace!
I wish you the very best.I am one for Global democracy, where the intelligence wins.I like what you have said about the CI, but I think it will take ages for it’s pure manifestation.
However, I strongly belive that CI as such would take over the world in one form or another.
Thanks for the comments (big tits included). What do we learn. The diffence of a blog to a wiki is that everybody could easily wipe the annoying out. And people do on wiki. Everybody intersted in collective intelligence has to know what a wiki is. It is the perfect platform for CI. My basic wikisites are

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/community is the best wiki I have found by now. There is the best CI powerplant. Have a nice day and see you on a wiki folks
