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?

For our ancestors, collective intelligence was a normal part of life. We see it today as the mysterious force that enables flocks of birds, swarms of bees, and schools of fish to function together in perfect synchrony, communicating and cooperating at some undetectable level. At its most subtle, it’s an instantaneous knowing, shared by members of a group, of the wisest course of action that will benefit all.

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.

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.

"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. ...

Coaching the Relational Blob: Transforming Youth Soccer Through Connection redefines how the modern coach teaches the game. Based on the philosophy of Relationism—a South American–born approach where soccer exists as fluid movement rather than fixed positions—this book introduces the blob: a living, breathing model of collective intelligence. Instead of isolating technique or assigning rigid roles, this method teaches players to move as a single coordinated organism—expanding, compressing, and adapting to the game’s rhythm. The blob is both a metaphor and a method, showing young ...

Science and politics have collaborated throughout human history and science is repeatedly invoked today in political debates, from pandemic management to climate change. Leading policy analyst Geoff Mulgan here calls attention to the growing frictions caused by the expanding—and unsolicited—authority being heaped upon science.
