The hottest Collective Intelligence Substack posts right now

Many people choose to fit in with their group rather than stick to the truth. This happens often in social situations.
Using group problem-solving methods can help avoid this issue. When people don’t see each other's answers, they're more likely to say what they really think.
Working together in trusted teams can help us solve problems better. Just like how single cells evolved to work together, we can improve by collaborating effectively.

Collective intelligence in biology means that groups of cells work together to solve problems that individuals can't. Each level of organization, like cells and organs, solves specific issues that contribute to the whole.
Emergence happens when the combined actions of simpler parts create complex behaviors. This can be seen in things like how cells coordinate to form organs or how flocks of birds move together.
Understanding collective behaviors in cells could lead to big advancements in medicine. This includes helping treat cancer by changing how cells behave or improving tissue engineering and organ regeneration.

The web was originally envisioned as a decentralized wiki for collective intelligence.
Tim Berners-Lee's book 'Weaving the Web' offers perspective-shifting insights about the early days of the web.
Enquire, a precursor to the web, had features like bi-directional links and semantic triples.

Personal data can be collected and stored to create a digital twin, even tracking health issues and mental health over a lifetime.
The concept of a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) operated by digital twins was explored, enhancing collective creativity and wealth management.
The DAO of the Dead demonstrated autonomous decision-making, wealth management, and investment, transcending human limitations and authorities.

Collective intelligence of a team is more important than individual intelligence, and factors like emotional intelligence, team speaking behavior, and gender composition can enhance collective intelligence.
Research suggests that team success hinges on 'collective attention,' wherein team members focus on shared goals rather than individual objectives, highlighting the significance of synchronized team efforts and equal contribution in meetings.
Clear hierarchies in teams lead to higher levels of collective intelligence compared to flat hierarchies, as hierarchies reduce the need for constant status assertion and competition among team members, fostering better teamwork.
