Human Energy Podcast
Human Energy was founded to share a new scientific & cosmic story introducing the noosphere as a source of meaning for future generations in our globalizing world.
Today we face the unprecedented challenges of rapid social change and new technologies which, together with the scientific picture of an aimless universe, have created a crisis of orientation. Human Energy was founded by scientists, scholars, artists, and storytellers to highlight the causal conditions to our challenges and provide solutions for current and future generations. We articulate these solutions through the "Third Story" worldview (https://humanenergy.io/the-three-stories-of-the-universe/) with focus on the emerging noosphere.
We are beginning to visualize the noosphere’s formation; study its potential future scenarios as humanity takes more and more control of its future course; and explore how human beings connecting across the world may realize themselves socially and individually in its development.

The Universe Aims at Harmonious Convergence - Story of the Noosphere
This episode is from our YouTube series Story of the Noosphere.
In this episode, we look art the way in which the convergence of hunter-gatherer bands into the great civilizations of the Classical period of humanity enabled the construction of the noosphere.
Like cells converging together and giving birth to complex ecosystems, this process of complexification and convergence is still underway underway in the human story.
Through this story, we can see that we are en route to a harmonious convergence of humanity as a whole.

As a word, "noosphere" is a loose synonym for three different meanings: the history and destiny of Homo sapiens; an emerging planetary nervous system, an emerging superorganism.
Throughout this series, we explore the conditions that gave rise to the noosphere:
1. Heredity
The transfer of genetic and cultural information from parents to offspring, generation to generation.
2. Tools
Instruments and technological devices that aids in accomplishing tasks.
3. Self-Consciousness
Conscious of one's own acts or states as belonging to or originating in oneself : aware of oneself as an individual.
4. Communication
A process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behavior.
5. Population
A body of persons or individuals having a quality or characteristic in common, the total of particles at a particular energy level.
6. Trade
To exchange (something) for something else, typically as a commercial transaction.
7. Cerebralization
The developing capacity of a species to form an idea, mental image or understanding something.
8. Convergence
To come together and unite in a common interest or focus.
Across five different stages of humanity:
• Paleolithic (300,000 - 11,000 years ago)
• Neolithic (11,000 years ago - 3,000 BCE)
• Classical (3,000 BCE - 1400 CE)
• Modern (1,400 CE - present)
• Future
This series of short films explores the ways humanity is building the nervous system of a superorganism, called the noosphere. Our series is narrated and hosted by Brian Thomas Swimme (https://storyoftheuniverse.org/) and produced by Human Energy (http://humanenergy.io/).
