P2P and Human Evolution
Apr 1, 2005
Michel Bauwens, the WNRF Associate for Integral Studies, has released a landmark paper on "P2P and Human Evolution." Bauwen claims peer-to-peer technology, as a new form of social exchange, is provoking a crisis in the current system, and stimulating the emergence of a more participative worldview. Throughout, he relates spirituality and human intentionality to a number of topics, including the networked society, cognitive capitalism, Empire and its discontents, and the challenges posed to traditional religions by spiritual P2P experiencing and technological transhumanism.
