Swarm Intelligence: Consciousness Emerging from Simple Agents
An individual ant has approximately 250,000 neurons and a behavioral repertoire that can be described in a few dozen rules. It cannot plan, reason, or adapt to novel situations.
Dean Radin: The Most Rigorous Case for Consciousness Anomalies
There is a particular kind of courage required to spend an entire career studying phenomena that most of your peers insist do not exist. Dean Radin has displayed that courage for over four decades, accumulating what is arguably the most methodologically rigorous body of evidence in the history...
The Global Consciousness Project: When the World Pays Attention, Randomness Changes
On September 11, 2001, as the first plane struck the World Trade Center, a network of 37 random event generators (REGs) spread across the world — in Princeton, Amsterdam, Beijing, Fiji, and dozens of other locations — began producing output that deviated significantly from the randomness they...
Collective Consciousness and the Morphic Field
There is an idea that recurs across disciplines, across centuries, across cultures — stubbornly, irrepressibly, despite every attempt by materialist science to dismiss it. The idea is this: consciousness is not confined to individual skulls.
Carl Jung's Synchronicity: The Acausal Connecting Principle That Rewrites the Operating System of Reality
Carl Gustav Jung sat in his consulting room in Zurich, listening to a patient describe a dream. She had dreamed of being given a golden scarab — a costly piece of jewelry.
The Global Consciousness Project: When Random Numbers Detect Planetary Synchronicity
In a basement at Princeton University, a small electronic device — a random number generator, or RNG — produces a continuous stream of binary digits: ones and zeros, like an electronic coin-flipper running twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Each second, it generates 200 random bits.
