Main Page/Introduction

We are still nowhere near the height of human civilisation. Not even close. We are currently living through a rapidly changing transition period between eras.

Our present thinking is conditioned by centuries of scarcity which physically need not exist if we organised ourselves sensibly: automation and AI are becoming ever more sophisticated, steadily climbing the human career ladder; while we are developing ever-more efficient ways of co-operating and sharing knowledge openly with each other.

A new fluid grouping of minds is evolving that is adhoc, distributed, self-organising and yet far more effective than anything we have seen before. These peer-to-peer activities combined with advanced automation have the capability to remove any significant scarcity for mankind. It is the new enlightenment, and in some areas is well under way.

This website explores the emerging technological and social possibilities, focusing on concepts that are likely to take us on to the next phase of civilisation — an environmentally sympathetic post-scarcity age where knowledge is freely shared by all. It sounds almost too good to be possible, but if enough people want it to happen, it is absolutely within our reach.

This new world is coming at an extremely fast pace, so you might want to prepare yourself... (or perhaps join in).
