Cells evolved to form organisms. Ants evolved to form colonies. Can humans evolve into a global collective -- a planetary intelligence -- to address problems too big for any one person, or even one nation, to solve?

The world needs #climate policies built around physical realism and maximizing quality of life, not around economic models that hide their justice-hindering biases. openmindmag.org/articles/bad…

Planetary intelligence is perhaps the ultimate extrapolation of "Think globally, act locally." The big obstacle to putting that adage to work is that thinking globally is not a skill built into normal human cognition. openmindmag.org/articles/pla…

The pressing question for us now is: How quickly can we evolve technological systems that not only anticipate possible futures but also steer us collectively to the ones we want? openmindmag.org/articles/pla…

Right now, humans struggle to deal with existential threats of our own creation (think: climate change) because those threats play out over times and distances far greater than anything experienced by each of us individually, says @Sara_Imari: openmindmag.org/articles/pla…

In the future, human societies and technologies may become enmeshed to form a collective, global intelligence, analogous to the way ants organize into a colony or individual cells operate together in the human body, writes astrobiologist @Sara_Imari openmindmag.org/articles/pla…

The IPCC recently reported that nearly every nation has some sort of adaptation plan. Unfortunately, early attempts at climate adaptation have been broadly under-researched, underfunded, and inconsistent. openmindmag.org/articles/mal…

In the column here, Amos Zeeberg explains how two divergent cultures can learn from each other to create more empathetic, efficient, and effective healthcare systems, and how patients, themselves, can change to get more out of the systems they have. openmindmag.org/articles/how…

'The physical drivers of climate change have been understood, with ever-increasing precision, since they were first described by the American scientist and inventor Eunice Foote in 1856. 1856!' openmindmag.org/articles/bad… via @openmind_mag

Could lack of progress with tackling climate change be because politicians are looking at economics rather than science?
Worth a read.

Nice essay by @jillneimark on why we resort to moral outrage about diseases -- & why it doesn't work. With comments from @reluctantlyjoe, @gregggonsalves, @heavyredaction, @jimdowns1, @haw95 & me.
