The Wise Democracy Project has a guiding principle – its prime directive to evoke and engage the wisdom and resourcefulness of the whole on behalf of the whole. I explore below why I and the Co-Intelligence Institute consider it so important, even invaluable. I share how it helps identify which initiatives or processes help support wise democracy – and why. I also share a bit about how the prime directive shapes how I and others view three major issues of our time – climate, pandemics, ...| Random Communications from an Evolutionary Edge

We both agreed that actually addressing all that would be a fundamentally transformational challenge – in response to which Claude offered some overall guidance about “getting better at change itself”...| Random Communications from an Evolutionary Edge
Shifting our fundamental identity from being separate individuals and groups to being facets of the dynamic metabolism of nature – as strange as that sounds – actually could have a profound impact on all aspects of society. Once I realized that, I could design questions that led two generative artificial intelligence agents to describe for me what such a society would be like. I found the results fascinating.| Random Communications from an Evolutionary Edge
