Here potentially is some very good news. An alternative energy source, a technology for reversing ocean acidification, and a CO2 sequestration remediation.

This may seem very esoteric but I am publishing it because it is telling us something about how consciousness enters matter at the cellular level. I think what we call life is actually membership in the interconnected, interdependent network of consciousness, from cells to high order mammals. Clearly it is of a different order from physical structures that are expressions of! consciousness, but lack consciousness of the same order as living organisms. In rough terms it is the difference between the log and the tree. What made this story stand out for me was what, after 400 years, made the chemicals that made up the detritus that had once been moss, turn on those chemicals so that consciousness created life.

More on the corruption of Congress trend in favor of a Non-geographical Corporate State. The corruption has become so blatant that they hardly bother to hide it any more. There is only one solution to this: Completely replacing the current Congress with ethical people who genuinely care about the nation's wellbeing. Then overturning Citizens' United, and establishing some kind of public funding of elections so that outright bribery is no longer business-as-usual. I confess I am not very sanguine any of this will happen. So far it seems to me that large portions of the country are committed to a kind of societal suicide.

In Europe, at least, Monsanto is beginning to be held accountable. I wonder how many Americans will die before it happens here?

Management de l'intelligence collective

Réseaux sociaux – Technologies 2.0

A l’évocation du mot “intelligence collective”, certains comprennent “perdre le contrôle”, anarchie, désordre,… ; d’autres comprennent innovation, résolution de problème, performance collective, valorisation des intelligences et des expertises pour mieux produire et mieux vendre.

Dans les entreprises, l’intelligence collective n’existe pas. Il faut la créer par la volonté des dirigeants (c’est une décision, une vision, un paradigme et non le constat résigné qu’on fait que cela existe ou que cela n’existe pas). Dire que l’intelligence collective n’existe pas est une vision du monde. Vouloir créer l’intelligence collective et la gérer est une autre vision du monde. Si vous lisez ce blog… vous connaissez la mienne

Mais, peut-on vouloir créer et gérer l’intelligence collective si on a peur de produire du désordre, de l’anarchie ? Depuis 10 ans que je travaille sur le sujet, j’ai toujours considéré que le simple fait de poser cette question était une forme de résistance au changement et que répondre à cette question était une perte de temps. Je pense aujourd’hui que je me suis trompé et, par ce billet, je vais donc réparer mon erreur.

Pour répondre à la question, je vous propose le concept de management paradoxal qui induit l’idée d’une organisation paradoxale. Le terme de “management paradoxal” m’a été inspiré par Dee Hock, fondateur et ancien CEO de VISA via son livre Birth of the Chaordic Age. “Chaordic” est la contraction de chaos et d’ordre : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaordic.

Sheila Casey: Dave McGowan Photo Essay on Boston False Flag Theater

07 Other Atrocities, Collective Intelligence, Commerce, Corruption, Government, IO Deeds of War, Law Enforcement, Media

Dave McGowan has written the best thing I've seen on the actors at the Boston bombing. I challenge anyone who can claim an IQ above 80 to read this and still believe that this was a genuine attack with real victims, real blood, real terrorists. McGowan's not only a great researcher and writer, he manages to be laugh-out-loud funny at the same time. Of course, given the obvious absurdity of the stories we've been told, humor comes pretty naturally in this situation. There are 6 parts, with lots of photos, all linked on his home page. This is not to be missed!

. . . . . . . .

I need to add that Dave clearly changes his views as he progresses through the six part series. In the first part, he writes:

I need to be very clear here in stating that I am not arguing that no one was injured in the attack and that there was no real suffering. That undoubtedly was not the case.

but by the 6th part, having spent many days wading through photos and news reports, he no longer believes that there are any real victims. He writes:

…these are people who have sold their souls and sold out their country. They are beneath contempt and nothing I have to say about them should really offend anyone.

(Part 1) Debunks major reported injuries with photos of alleged victims, shows how shrapnel allegedly shredded clothes without drawing blood.

Managing collective intelligence – Toward a New Corporate Governance

by Olivier Zara

In a production economy, value creation depends on land, labor and capital. In a knowledge economy, value creation depends mainly on the ideas and innovations to be found in people’s heads.

Those ideas cannot be forcibly extracted.

All one can do is mobilize collective intelligence and knowledge. If knowing how to produce and sell has become a basic necessity, it no longer constitutes a sufficiently differentiating factor in international competition. In the past, enterprises were industrial and commercial; in the future, they will increasingly have to be intelligent.

The intelligent enterprise stands on three pillars: collective intelligence, knowledge management and information and collaboration technologies and needs the vital energy of intellectual cooperation.

Managing collective intelligence implies a radical change that will naturally elicit a lot of resistance. But we’re talking about a social innovation. Once it is in place, once the resistance has subsided, no one will want to go back to the way it was! As always, the problem lies “not in developing new ideas but in escaping from the old ones.” Keynes.

Monsanto protest attracts 2,000 in Las Vegas

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Protesters rallied in Nevada as part of a global protest against seed giant Monsanto and the genetically modified food it produces.

“March Against Monsanto” protests Saturday drew some 2,000 protesters in Las Vegas and about 150 in Reno.

Las Vegas protesters marched about one mile down Las Vegas Boulevard to the “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign, while Reno protesters chanted and waved placards as they marched through downtown Reno.

Genetically modified plants are grown from seeds that are engineered to resist insecticides and herbicides, and to improve crop yields.

Most corn, soybean and cotton crops grown in the U.S. today have been genetically modified. But critics say genetically modified organisms can lead to serious health conditions and harm the environment.
