We move from our former conviction that the universe is static and unchangi...

This episode is from our YouTube series Story of the Noosphere . A hundred thousand year experiment, carried out by the Earth Community,  makes clear that major stages of humanity's development were set from our origin. The  experiment took place when Homo sapiens began to flow north out of Africa. Some veered to the west and populated Europe. Others turned right and crossed over into the Ame...

This episode is from our YouTube series Story of the Noosphere . The universe created stars. galaxies, and life, and that same creative energy is at work in humans.

This episode is from our YouTube series Story of the Noosphere . The special nature of human consciousness is bringing forth a planet that is ever more mind-like. We call this the process of cerebralization.  Is this work coming from the universe?  Or are we on our own here? Are we just a meaningless speck in the midst of a trillion galaxies? Or are we here to construct a planetary mind? Similar q...

This episode is from our YouTube series Story of the Noosphere . Money was invented during the classical era of humanity and inaugurated a new era of human evolution.
