Collective Intelligence

A new field of collective intelligence has emerged in the last few years, prompted by a wave of digital technologies that make it possible for organizations and societies to think at large scale. This "bigger mind" - human and machine capabilities working together - has the potential to solve the great challenges of our time. So why do smart technologies not automatically lead to smart results?

Educators with high efficacy show greater effort and persistence, willingness to try new teaching approaches, and attend more closely to struggling students’ needs. This book presents practical strategies and tools for increasing student achievement.

First commercially published book co-authored through conscious relational dialogue by humans and a named AI In a world where machines are evolving faster than we are, it's easy to feel uncertain about your place in the future. Some fear they'll be replaced-outpaced by algorithms and automation. Others fear they'll be controlled-reduced to cogs in a machine-driven world. And many have begun to idolize AI, casting it as an all-knowing guru who holds the answers to everything. But what if none of these narratives are the real story? What if the future isn't something to fear, worship, or ...

The war for consciousness has begun. In the aftermath of Chronos’s collapse, humanity faces a far greater threat than corporate power or political division.

"If a lion could talk, we could not understand him." So listen instead to what does speak: the ant under your shoe, writing life in scent. I lay a trail that reads like a sentence, press my antennae to a sister for grammar, taste sugar and grit as punctuation. I do not speak; I broadcast maps, alarms, and care with chemicals and touch. In plain, unsentimental scenes I narrate how a single path becomes a mind — how food, brood, and danger are solved by bodies obeying small rules until they look like decisions. This is natural history pried open at the seam where science meets sensation. ...

Science and politics have collaborated throughout human history and science is repeatedly invoked today in political debates, from pandemic management to climate change.
