Invite Jean-François Noubel

From small clans to massive empires, our species has made significant transformations in its collective intelligence. With the internet, 8 billion people, AI, and cryptotechnologies, a new evolutionary leap has begun. What changes will we experience, both individually and collectively? Will you get swept away or ride the wave? Will you evolve?

"Science without conscience ruins the soul," wrote Rabelais. Science has developed quite far, but how much has consciousness? We will explore some very revealing maps to learn about this and then question our personal and collective evolution. This exploration may profoundly change how you view yourself and the world.

Many people engage in personal development because the phrase "know thyself" serves to free oneself from personal obstacles and traumas. However, even after completing extensive personal development, collective limitations still operate within us. Language thinks for us, social codes act for us, money decides for us, and prevailing beliefs maintain ignorance in us. How can we decipher and free ourselves from these invisible dynamics that colonize us and we perpetuate? By engaging in transpersonal development.

Money does not meet the social and ecological imperatives our species and planet require. Its time has passed. The time of free currencies has arrived, supporting a deep economy. What difference exists between currency and money? What tools and infrastructures currently develop? What consequences will this have? How can one become an actor in this new social fabric?

Free currencies allow us to go beyond the limitations of money. We will need them to develop a profound, citizen-centered economy that supports life. How can we understand and design them? Why might they resemble a social DNA?

No force rivals a myth. Myths consist of stories we share, but not just any story: an epic, heroic adventure inviting us to manifest the greatest, most beautiful, and brightest aspects of ourselves. Myths move mountains. Will you dare to embrace a myth?

Humans have long dreamed of liberating themselves from centralized powers, whose limits, weaknesses, and abuses we know. How can we then create fully distributed organizations, capable of mobilizing all intelligences and actions emergently? An extraordinary framework has just emerged: Holochain. We will discuss its genesis and the extraordinary transformative power such a technology can have on our species.

The current economy remains mostly a human affair, built primarily around money as the sole representative tool of flows and wealth. However, a new economic science emerges: the deep economy. Not only does it provide us with a new language of wealth, but it also integrates the complexity of life. What does it look like? What does it bring us? How can we discuss it? How can we develop it?

Companies, nations, religions, armies… until now, human organizations, once they reach a certain size, could only function in a pyramidal way, with centralized power at the top. However, this form of collective intelligence now reaches its limits. Why? What lies ahead?

A new form of collective intelligence emerges: distributed, non-local, emergent, self-regulating, and potentially on a very large scale. Welcome to the world of holomidal collective intelligence. What does it look like? How does it work? How will we enter it?

Selling products and services no longer suffices. The future lies in the transformation economy, which will transform the world, people, and you. What does it look like? How can you bring your company or community into it?

Since 2011, I chose to live within the gift economy. I live like an NGO, relying on the kindness of people. And like an NGO, I offer my work to the world. Why did I choose this path? How does it work? What have I learned personally and through my research on collective intelligence and the evolution of consciousness?

Language does not remain neutral. While we believe we think freely, language thinks for us, within us, by us. It perpetuates its beliefs, its prevailing ideas, its obscurantism. How do we enter its intimacy and uncover its secrets? How do we hack it and free ourselves?

Plato understood it 2400 years ago: truth, goodness and beauty represent fundamental and universal values. Today, psycho-linguistics demonstrates their role in the foundations of our languages. How can we turn them into a powerful compass in our intimate lives and organizations?

We rarely see significant changes coming. Why? Because they arise from weak signals. How do these signals work? How can we learn to detect them effectively and use them as a strength?

Traditional sciences view the world through a narrow lens, dissecting reality into small parts. A new approach emerges, more powerful and descriptive: that of holons and holarchies. Once you understand the foundations, you will see the world differently.

Martial arts have accompanied me throughout my life; I have taught them for a long time. What can we learn from them? How can we practice them as a living experience? Put on comfortable clothes and come for a training session.

Like cats, I have lived several lives, rich with many teachings. People often ask me to tell my story. I will share it with you.

Paragliding represents both a passion and a spiritual adventure, and I love sharing it. So who knows, maybe one day I’ll take you flying with me!
