OuiShare Fest 14

Collective intelligence has become the science that explores this question: how multiple I's can build smart conscious We's? As a researcher in this field, the reverse question fascinates me too: how does the collective operates in the I, exactly like in the movie The Matrix? Language, social codes, technologies, money, beliefs, food, time... all these collective forces shape the way we think, the way we see the world, how we innovate and make decisions. We call them invisible architectures. Ignoring them makes us as free as fishes in the fishbowl.

Therefore evolving our collective intelligence implies that we learn how to evolve the We that operates inside the I. Can I evolve language so I can see the world with a vaster consciousness in my being, and broader capacities in my doing? Do I still want to use money? What should I eat? How will I love? Which social codes should I leave and which ones should I invent in order to garden more powerful collectives? Evolving the "we" that operates in me has lead me to an experiential life, with its trials and errors, and beautiful treasures along the way. I feel excited to share them during the Ouishare Fest.
