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.

AI reframed as an organic evolutionary process fueled by human creativity | Parham Pourdavood | N2 2024
The N2 2024: The Noosphere & the Global South conference explored the intersection of technology, society, and the noosphere—the sphere of human thought and collective consciousness. Hosted by Human Energy and UM6P, this year’s event brought together leading thinkers, visionaries, and innovators to discuss solutions to the challenges posed by the techno-social era. Through engaging presentations and collaborative dialogue, N2 2024 aims to inspire actionable insights and transformative change.

AI reframed as an organic evolutionary process fueled by human creativity
Debates surrounding the nature of artificial intelligence (AI) often revolve around whether AI is evolving into an independent intelligent entity with agency or if it remains a form of algorithmic mimicry, destined to remain disconnected from the organic principles that govern cognition and life. A closer examination suggests that while AI systems lack agency and the essential organic principles needed for selfhood and cognition, they operate according to a logic that mirrors a principle within organisms—namely, the dynamic compression and decompression of information. Just as compressed genetic information is utilized and decompressed by cells through novel interactions—ultimately giving rise to the development of cognition and agency at the collective scale of the organism—technologies like Large Language Models (LLMs) can be viewed as compressed forms of humanity’s behavioral patterns, which, when creatively interpreted and utilized, could afford the development of identity and agency at a planetary scale. From this perspective, an ethical framework emerges in which AI serves as a tool for amplifying human perspective, imagination, collaboration, and self-reflection, while offering an organic model and precedent for a harmonious relationship between the embodied, intuitive nature of living beings and their abstract, compressed representations. This vision echoes Teilhard de Chardin’s concept of the “collective memory of the human race” as an organic phenomenon, where the liberation of human creativity through automation might enable a novel evolutionary process on a planetary scale.
N2 2024: The Noosphere & The Global South took place on December 16th - 18th in Ben Guerir, Morocco 🌐
The N2 Conference looks to deepen our present understanding and future vision for the noosphere, the sphere of human consciousness and mental activity especially in regard to its influence on the biosphere and in relation to evolution.
N2 is an international, interdisciplinary conference bringing together leading scientists, scholars from across the disciplines, thought leaders, creative artists, and all those who are interested in the meaning and possibility of the noosphere for our collective future.
We invite you to join the conversation and keep watching more N2 2024 presentations on this channel. Subscribe for updates and insights as we continue to explore the transformative potential of worldview, technology and the noosphere.
