I noticed that many developed peoples, especially in Northern Europe, some US states, and large groups of emerging countries, began to attach great importance to what is known as collective intelligence after it was found that individual genius, however distinct, can not make progress. In Finland, for example, more than 50 years ago, new mechanisms have been developed to make the most of collective intelligence in public policy-making and decision-making through what is now known as the Open Ministry, which coordinates citizen participation in public affairs through an electronic platform to make the most appropriate decisions In one area or another, the experience has been very successful and continues to develop today. In the United States, as well as the early beginnings of the Ohio State of direct democracy since the mid-1990s, initiatives follow one another in the so-called " Ratih 2.0, which raises the slogan to govern with citizens, and check projects such as Citizinvestor.com and Civic-tech continuous progress in this area. Ireland has singled out its own project on the relationship of the country's citizens to the European Union (Puzzledbypolicy.eu). Many people believed that there was a need to accelerate adaptation to developments in digital technologies and the Internet.
Of course, we are not looking at approaching this level of intellectual, scientific and mental activity, considering that our problems are different and our needs are different, but we just want to draw attention to the fact that regardless of the type of problems that this society is experiencing, Can not dispense with collective intelligence to overcome the problems it faces.
Traditionally, this collective intelligence was represented in the councils of the family, the tribe, the village, the city, or the extended consultation to scholars, sages, and people of opinion in society. This kind of "combination" of intelligence has undoubtedly produced results that have contributed to the development and prosperity of our traditional societies, enabling them to move to the level of building civilization in proportion to their capabilities and the challenges they faced in their times.
We inherited some of these practices from father to grandfather, and they were an integral part of our culture, so that our decisions were issued at the local level only by the agreement of the group, and there was no one who could challenge this group. This was an effective mechanism for the collective intelligence industry. Through it...
Even during the darkest periods, and until recently, our attachment to communities as a community priority to the individual remained in this way of thinking and practice, but gradually we began to lose this trend by trying to adopt Western methods of consultation through the so-called elected councils. Elected in the development of the mechanisms of consultation to create collective intelligence, we have emptied of their content and became areas of practice in the majority dedicated to individualism in thinking and selfish in achieving the goals.
This has been reflected in all levels of social and political life. Collective thinking in the management of local public affairs has lost its place, and education programs are no longer based on the training of young people on this type of thinking. The responsibilities of individuals who have devoted the principle of individuality and priority to the public have begun to develop. A new one who does not believe in the collective idea in particular, let alone possess a collective intelligence that moves through it to face the challenges that he faces and the crises he knows.
Were it not for the remnants of that huge balance of the collective idea that has been established throughout the centuries by all the components of the nation, there has been a major collapse in our collective heritage, and we know of a state of dispersion.
Perhaps the time is right for such a question to be seriously discussed: the transformation of the world towards collective thinking and collective intelligence and its digitization on more than one level, the spread of individuality and selfishness between us and the denial of the possibility of working together: Where are we going?
We should ask such a question in the scope of a forward-looking view of our country. What will be the fate of individual genius that is not without a home from our homes under the rule of this kind of thinking? Why do we push it to gradual death and know that it can achieve much in the range of all? Is not that a matter of shortsightedness on the question of the constituents of power for society? Who can correct the situation?
We say that insofar as it seems that there is a big difference between us and the European and Western peoples in general in maximizing collective intelligence, we can anticipate the deterioration of the situation in this area and correct the imbalance, by doing double work at the same time, In this field and our innate readiness for it, and at the same time Western experience developed today.
Indeed, we can not afford to follow up what is happening in the Scandinavian countries, not in Europe, America, China, Japan and other countries that have been able to establish a genius in collective work based on creativity and innovation, and we can not proceed from a vacuum. As far as we feel today from the tendency to kill individual genius through the absence of collective intelligence, and to the extent of the deadly absence of the idea of creativity capable of urging us to think in an integrated, and as much as the control of personal goals on our lives to the extent that we no longer think about the other, Society or state, we can consider all these disincentives as a driving force for vigilance as we are all constantly asking that new old question: Where to?
We undoubtedly note every day some of the implications of the absence of inclusion within the collective intelligence system moving in the future. This is reflected in the tendency to escape from reality (the phenomenon of seeking retirement and refusal to work), and in the case of increasing frustration and pessimism about the future (the prevailing logic of desperation), in indulging in the solution of the accumulated and increasing problems and devote all our efforts in urgent projects aimed at solving The false promises ... as reflected in all the forms of silent or explicit rejection of the status quo and the great inability to provide innovative solutions for its improvement, and the frequent resort to some violent expressions as the last means of collective expression of the inability to think about creativity Roads, demonstration ... which means that if we can not correct the equation in this area with a real proactive action that actually establishes an effective system for collecting individual individual geniuses within the scope of a working policy of collective intelligence that results in conscious collective practices for proper reform and improvement at all levels, We will judge our society more towards the individualism, which will not end only the dispersion, tearing and collapse rather than the consolidation of efforts and achieve progress and prosperity, which remains with all of this in front of us as an option ...
