Pierre Lévy, philosopher, professor from Québec University

   

« Inventing new methods of thinking and negotiation which will bring forward real collective intelligence is particularly urgent »

 

 

« Cyberespace might be an indispensable technical detour to create collective intelligence. […] A human group will only be interested in forming a virtual community if they are approaching the ideal of collective intelligence more imaginatively and faster »

 

The invention of new collective interfaces which possess a graphical and specific editorial writing, will permit the deciphering and reading of meta-information, rather than just direct access to information itself. It will be one of the conditions allowing to approach the collective ideal described by Pierre Lévy.
