BLOGGING AND HUMAN EVOLUTION

Apropos of P2P as the basis of the new, infinitely more authentic and interesting civilisation,  Robert Paterson published his Going Home - Our Reformation essay, in which he elucidates on the sea change that blogging is for the ways we communicate, live, and evolve collectively. Simply breathtaking.

-- Btw, Rob thanks for giving me such a prominent place; I definitely look forward to my new assignment:-)

P2P AND HUMAN EVOLUTION

My friend Michel Bauwens [static homepage here], author of the most visionary piece on peer-to-peer I've ever read, published his much-awaited new essay on P2P, entitled P2P and Human Evolution: p2p as the premise of a new mode of civilization. As expected, his excellent and path-breaking treatise is all-encompassing, critically exploring P2P in all its possible manifestations and linkages, that is, with respect to its political, social, economic, spiritual, cultural, and technological implications. It is at the intersections of all these spheres and their interactions that P2P holds the potential to emerge as the basis of the new civilisation premised on self-realisation, autonomy, creation, eros, and sharing. It's either that or a return to barbarism, writes Bauwens.

Read on and marvel at the mental syntheses that this essay invokes.
