… How will you answer?

BP MC252 Gulf of Mexico

Leverage your social graph

I believe at least one of these three activities deserve your focused attention, even if only a moment:

In the Gulf: @geoffliving – Gulf Fact Finding Mission to Help Fisherman

In DC: @TEDxOilSpill – Thought Leader Summit at TEDxOilSpill, Wash DC, June 28, 2010.

In your home: @PlugthatWell – Invite your friends to play www.plugthatwell.com, then start a conversation.

Take a moment, check it out. Honor your reaction. If you are moved to share with a friend, please do so. Doing so is service to humanity.

Thanks,

Humanity+ W(him) = Sticky

If I seek to know myself, what transformation is missed if I avoid the experience of death?

Sparks and motifs from the
2010 H+ Summit @ Harvard.

With beginner’s mind, I’ve started exploring Humanity+ with new ears, new eyes, a new query of life.

Citizen scientists, reputation.
Moving beyond sociobiological speculation to DIY research.
An exponential rise
in consciousness.
Patterns of inquiry,
A calculus of opposites.

Empiricism vs. true scientific understanding.
The utility of sonification?
Let the data play.

Keying thoughts: 2010 Humanity+

Critt Jarvis — Wed, 05 May 2010 16:37:27 +0000

Triggers for conversation

Mindfully redesigning the human condition

overcoming constraints of the inevitability of aging
limitations on human and artificial intellects
unchosen psychology
lack of resources
our confinement to the planet earth

“Hype and anti-hype in academic biogerontology research: a call to action”

“Become a citizen-scientist, and a recruiter of other citizen-scientists.”

At the 2010 Humanity+ Summit @ Harvard, June 11 and 12, in both planned and impromptu performances, we will ask of each other:

What will it mean to be a human in this next phase of technological development?

How can we prepare now for coming changes?

Keying thoughts, now, for whatever comes next.
