we are honored to welcome a circle of visionary elders and community members to gather in the garden of ideas, histories and futures. we'll inquire into how we might co-evolve and embrace, navigate and calibrate tools and practices for continual meta-improvement, in terms of collective conversation, memory, and intersectional innovation. toward the possibility of wisdom flow.
hello, charles here, inviting you to an exploratory conversation, considering practical application of doug engelbart's 'abc model', augmented with a social layer of patterns inspired by tom atlee’s work around wholeness, integrating his approach to wisdom in the sense of the ‘prime directive of wise democracy':
we seek to evoke and engage the wisdom and resourcefulness of the whole on behalf of the whole.>> we'll be joined by esteemed guests including
Tom Atlee, Howard Rheingold, George Por (Kernel Mentor), others TBA
plus Kernel Fellows and friends in the wider ecosystem of planetary stewards,
Holly Grimm - Aikphrasis, Pedro Parrachia - Floristic, Christina Trout - LaLa Gardens, Diogo Jorge - Agroforest DAO, Cherno Yahya Jallow, Glenn Poppe - Meem Protocol, Daniel Friedman, Brad DeGraf et al - Common Sensemakers (Open Source Attention)/ Active Inference Institute/ Complexity Weekend/ NAO (networked autonomous organism)/ Token Engineering Commons: 'DAO Gardens'.... a blooming meadow of hearts, minds, and projects aligned in mutual care.
<<<^>>>
main event is scheduled for 90 minutes. some of us will stay on in a less bounded mode after the first segment.
the session will be an opportunity to examine doug’s framework through a lens of wisdom; many groups (including kernel) are increasingly applying the metaphor of community garden to a group's repository at large (ie implicit repository of repositories). i suggest this is particularly apt in the special scenario of a network aspiring to be dynamically collaborative, self-aware and self-evolving; in engelbart parlance, within the 'bootstrapping collective IQ' landscape of 'dynamic knowledge repository' (DKR) and 'networked improvement community' (NIC).
augmenting augmentation
extending this line of thought, the dynamic knowledge repository aka community garden becomes the infrastructure enabling wisdom to emerge; if and to the extent the garden is tended collaboratively, in conversational flow, by a networked improvement community of gardeners.
for a few years i've been gradually formulating an amalgam inspired by the DKR-NIC 'twins' – both are needed to set the conditions for wisdom to emerge/ generate/ be yielded and harvested – seeking ways to activate doug’s work based on tom’s critical distinction between collective intelligence and collective wisdom. simply put, collective intelligence is not necessarily good for everyone, while wisdom promotes the 'long-term broad benefit of the whole', ie seven generations or more. this inquiry has led me to discover and collect a rudimentary set of patterns of 'wise collaboration'.
the conversation will frame the way forward in spreading awareness, co-learning these endangered legacies, and ‘growing experiments in the community garden’ particularly with the kernel cohort in which we are immersed.
if you made it this far, you will likely not want to miss this momentous gathering :-)
onward
charles
