- Malcolm's 100× vision talks about this at the end:
- > This collective brain and collective body are themselves part of a larger network of other similar superorganisms, which sometimes overlap somewhat. This network also includes more self-contained companies that are operating using a similar self-energizing collective-intelligence-oriented culture and probably some of those companies were initially incubated in the “collective body” level.
- > These superorganisms form a kind of virtual economy, in the same sense that a country or city has an economy. Part of what makes there be an economy is that economic activity is WAY cheaper within the clusters that mutually recognize each other as part of this new Game-B-esque attractor, due to increased capacity to do trust-building and coordination. This economy is able to be remarkably creative and productive compared to the rest of the world even though we’re operating in ways that aren’t built on the false accounting of externalizing costs, and thus has huge net exports (to the old economy) of an increasing number of goods & services, and is well on its way to outcompeting or converting Game-A businesses until finally Moloch eats itself.
Cointelligence R&D Lab Proposal
- it occurs to me that one interesting way to write this would be to write it as if someone had just read Malcolm's 100× vision & How we get there and understood them completely, and then all I'm trying to fill in is the specific form proposal
- ..although if they completely understood those docs
- ...another way to say maybe exactly the same thing though would be that instead of this being a proposal to someone else, it should just be me writing out the obvious (and the unknowns) of how I would imagine running such a thing
- and I don't think that's actually quite what I want to do here
- part of the whole point of this is to make my thinking more legible
- elaborates a bit more on the capacities I expect a 10-20 person collective consciousness to have, and how I see that interplaying with a larger "meta-team" and the global economy
