What is Collective Wisdom?
Started Feb 5
Latest Activity
I choose to design in a way that fills our minds with meaning, our hearts with ecstasy, and our world with beauty.
Hello Cultural Mavricks
This is a place to create networks and teams that are interested in collaboratively building communities and organizations based in principles of sustainable design, organizational learning, social innovation. Are you a creator of technologies that are consciously developed and work for a growing planetary society? Are you a mythist who knows the power of reframing our minds and views it as a sacred act? I'll be your host. Contact me at ChangingNormal@DiscoveryFuel.com.
This is a world of interactive knowledge transfers, applications exchanges, and exploratory connections. I may have initiated this collaboration effort for our Changing Normal society, but it's outcome is how WE as a collective create together. Sooooo, let me know what you think. What do you have on your mind? How would you like to support this community?

A word on white elephants, expectations, and changing normal.
A few of you have begun to ask questions. THIS IS SO WONDERFUL!Interesting though, I am watching the level of expectation that immediately follows a question that is not getting quickly answered in a satisfying way. I noticed how quickly frustration set in because they didn't have… Continue

Introducing the new silo .... same as the old one :/
One of the biggest flags that I want us to watch out for is 'silo' reproduction. By this I mean that, as we build new structures to contain new knowledge, we must recognize and ask pointed questions about the silo's design. New knowledge held in (what are called) new silos, more often than… Continue Posted by Discovery Fuel on May 4, 2009 at 8:01pm

To Change Normal - Attempt To Know Your Place In The Nest
To Change Normal ...What if we first assume our assumptions are mere assumptions? What if we assume something different about what we assume about our assumptions? (hmmmmmmmm; gotta think about this for a minute :/ ) Such as for example: What if our place in consciousness is embedded within a Greater System of conscious Knowing , and that is made up of other Systems, which is enmeshed w… Continue

Challenges of Community and Collaboration

Intro Section I
CHAPTER #1 -- THE FOUNDATION
For some 2000 years or more civilization has been ruled by a social paradigm on which all aspects of the EuroAmerican cultures are been based -- the “dominator paradigm.” In the past 2 two decades a new social paradigm has been emerging that could have the most, deep, fundamental impact on human civilization since humanids first came down from the trees. The old paradigm placed humans in a purposeful universe created by some super normal power for t… Continue

The Question is the Answer in a World of Uncertainty
In the name of a principle that I live by, namely: "The Question is the Answer", I propose the following elaborate questions. Maybe you can come up with a few yourself and build on this set?

Web Technology as Sacred
The Web has reached a level of maturity where it can be viewed as an extension to our interconnected conscious selves. With the Planet now growing its own neural network (i.e. a global brain) 'Learning' takes on a new integral role as meta-teacher/student. This perspective brings a new dimension to our idea of 'global awareness' and stretches the meaningfulness of '… Continue

Imagination is our single most important asset for creating the future
Here is a quote from Rob Brezsny on what's in our stars for the future. Now, astrology at a surface level may be a bunch of hoky poky. But, when studied at it's deepest levels, one finds it disturbingly correct and and personally guiding. Who the hec came up with this astro stuff? And how does it 'really' work? Anyway, astrology is not really the subject here.… Continue

Orrrr ... Donating even just $3.33 will help keep this adventure going. Only three dollars and thirty three cents (3 is a magic number for me : ) A few green-backs (3 1/3 to be exact) start to add up. So your donation will actually go a longggg way in helping to 'change normal' : )
HELP KEEP THIS ADVENTURE GOING. Consider donating between $3.33 or $33.33 to help make it so. Email me, Vic Desotelle, if you have any questions.
