Revision of Influencing, moderating enhancing, supporting on the level of systems, institutions, deep impacting from February 5, 2006 - 14:00

How can we further the evolutionary impulse and organize/govern ourselves as a species (globally, nationally, regionally, and locally) so that there are real and effective incentives for individuals, corporations, and nation-states to cooperate and serve the common good (each benefits substantially by doing so), and equally effective incentives against disregarding or damaging the common good?

How can we nurture the evolution of collective wisdom and conscious social systems in ways that serve life-affirming futures?

Can we find practical and inspiring ways to infuse processes and institutions promoting Collective Intelligence and Social Creativity with the intelligences pervasive in the entire Earth Community, including the elder wisdom of bacteria as well as the needs of our more closely related kin that now face extinction?


Within the context of evolutionary uncertainty, how do we seed the system changes needed so that human and organizational creativity naturally lead toward sustainable and restorative practices?

How do we develop the DNA code for social evolution?

What would a think tank, capacity-building program and diffusion strategy for social system evolution look like?

How can the progressive edge of the culture move beyond its infatuation with pluralism and individual freedom and discover a new and higher (yes, higher) unifying moral and spiritual context in which to ground our collective social/political change efforts?

How can we participate in speeding the collective stream of evolution of human consciousness in a more effective way?

What is the nature of the collective and individual work that we must engage in to birth a higher order of consciousness in the human race?

How to design evolutionary guidance systems — on all levels, from local to global optimized — to benefit from the collective intelligence and wisdom of connected, multi-community conversations about questions that matter?

How can we accelerate the shift in human consciousness from the top end of first gear to the bottom of second, from arrogance to humility, from considering ourselves to be brilliant animals, to realizing we are ignorant gods?

How can we combine and connect existing efforts in consciousness evolution to build greater momentum for change?

How can we individually and collectively support the emergence of a creative space that allows for the mystery's brilliance and guidance to come through each and all of us?
