Connected Thinking Monday: Civilizations, Values & the Passage of Time "Let us remember, ladies and gentlemen, that all civilization is based on an immense, broad and beautiful coherence of values, that is to say of life forces ("valor" in Latin means "life force", "life energy"). Each civilization is distinguished from one another by a system of values ordered differently. These values, they have always been the same since humans have inhabited the Earth. They are therefore all present in each civilization, but the key values, those which are privileged are not the same. Let us also remember that a civilization, tell us the historians of the great periods, lasts about 500 years. And that the transition from one to the other is generally chaotic or even dramatic." — Olivier Frerot, La Transgression éthique Frerot's insight sits at the heart of what we explore at Connected Thinking. If every civilization rests on a shifting hierarchy of the same deep values, and if ours is mid-transition, then the urgent questions become: What patterns govern civilizational change? What is pulsating beneath the surface of today's crises? And what comes next? These are precisely the questions Michel Bauwens and the P2P Foundation have spent decades mapping through civilizational analysis and macrohistory. From the recurring rise and fall of the commons, to the emergence of peer-to-peer as a structural force for the next system. At Connected Thinking 2026, we walk these questions - literally - through seminars on foot in the peripatetic tradition, weaving together philosophy, macrohistory, and futures thinking into a lived, embodied inquiry.

Connected Thinking Friday: Civilizational Surges, Critical Thresholds, and the Wisdom Born from Failure "Civilizations might be viewed as surges of history that rise toward this level of abundant living, but always fall back because social institutions are not appropriately modified at that time of crisis when accumulated resources – material, social and spiritual, open the way to it.  Yet it is just at the same time when the surge of history breaks and fails that most wisdom is attained concerning the conduct of life. Failure is always the supreme teacher, if accompanied by faith and courage." — Henry Nelson Wieman, The Directive in History, 1949 Wieman names something that macro-history confirms again and again: civilizations collapse because their institutions — the structures meant to channel collective energy — fail to evolve at the very moment the opening appears. The surge crests. The window closes. And the fall begins. But Wieman also offers something rarer than diagnosis: hope grounded in pattern. Because if failure recurs across civilizations, so does its fruit — the accumulated wisdom about what went wrong, and what could be done differently. This is the gift that serious civilizational analysis offers us right now, at our own moment of institutional crisis. The Commons, P2P, and the emergent next system are not utopian dreams. They are the lessons of previous surges, encoded and ready — if we have the faith and courage to act on them. 👉 Explore the talks that map these patterns: → Civilizational Patterns: An Introduction to Macro-History 2026.connected-thinking.spac… → The Pulsation of the Commons Hypothesis 2026.connected-thinking.spac… → P2P and the Commons 2026.connected-thinking.spac… → The Next System: What Can We Know? 2026.connected-thinking.spac… Ancient wisdom.

Connected Thinking Monday: Biology, Culture, and Cosmic Evolution - Rethinking the Foundations of Human Futures "The failure to understand culture, and in particular the relationship between biology and culture as part of cosmic evolution, may be one of the primary failings of science in the modern world. This is a factor in holding back progress in our understanding of both the nature of humanity and the future of humanity. Therefore, in my approach to the deep future I focus on the emergence of the big historical cultural era." - Cadell Last, Big Historical Foundations for Deep Future Speculations: Cosmic Evolution, Atechnogenesis, and Technocultural Civilization, 2015 Modern science has been extraordinarily powerful at breaking things apart - isolating variables, specialising disciplines, optimising subsystems. What it has been far less capable of is synthesis: understanding how biology becomes culture, how culture becomes civilisation, how civilisation becomes a force in cosmic evolution. This fragmentation is not merely an academic problem. It produces leaders, institutions, and policies that optimise for the measurable and the immediate, while remaining blind to the deep patterns that actually determine where humanity is heading. Cadell Last's intervention points to what macro-history and big history offer that conventional analysis cannot: a frame wide enough to hold biology, culture, and deep time together in a single coherent view. Only from that altitude can we begin to ask - and answer - meaningful questions about the next system. Not as a policy adjustment, but as a phase transition in the long arc of human becoming. This is the intellectual foundation on which Connected Thinking is built. 👉 We explore how to bring this synthesis to life: → Civilizational Patterns: An Introduction to Macro-History 2026.connected-thinking.spac… → The Pulsation of the Commons Hypothesis 2026.connected-thinking.spac… → P2P and the Commons 2026.connected-thinking.spac… → The Next System: What Can We Know? 2026.connected-thinking.spac… Ancient wisdom.

Connected Thinking Friday: Creative Interchange as the Engine of Civilizational Change "Civilizations break and fail because they require a fuller release of creative interchange between all participants than any civilization has yet provided. To achieve this fuller release, religion, education, social constitution and government must all be shaped to serve this kind of interchange and equip people to live in its power and keeping." - Henry Nelson Wieman, The Directive in History, 1949 Wieman wrote this in 1949, yet it reads as a diagnosis of today. What does a civilization in fuller creative interchange actually look like?  This is precisely what macro-history can teach us. By mapping civilizational patterns across time, we begin to see why systems contract and collapse, and crucially, what the conditions for their renewal have been.  From the pulsation of the commons to the emergence of peer-to-peer as a civilizational force, the next system is not invented from nothing: it is recovered, synthesized, and consciously built. 👉 Explore the talks that unpack these patterns: → Civilizational Patterns: An Introduction to Macro-History 2026.connected-thinking.spac… → The Pulsation of the Commons Hypothesis 2026.connected-thinking.spac… → P2P and the Commons 2026.connected-thinking.spac… → The Next System: What Can We Know? 2026.connected-thinking.spac… Ancient wisdom.

Connected Thinking Monday: The Loss of Applicability - Why Our Civilizational Operating System Is Failing "What we are witnessing is not a civilizational crisis but the loss of applicability of hierarchical coordination. The dominant challenges of our time are planetary. Climate destabilization, existential technological risk, systemic fragility, and global interdependence cannot be addressed within fragmented, competing units. Yet the prevailing form of social coordination divides humanity into self-referential structures — states, blocs, corporations — each pursuing local optimization. This form may have operated on a smaller scale. At a global scale, it becomes internally contradictory. It produces fragmentation where coherence is required. Competition where coordination is essential. Short-term advantage where long-term survival is at stake. What collapses is not stability within the system, but the system's applicability itself. Not a crisis, but a loss of applicability! A crisis can be resolved from within the logic that produced it. What we are facing cannot. This is not a failure of leadership. Not a deficit of technology or intelligence. Not a moral collapse of humanity. It is the exhaustion of a form that is no longer capable of operating under contemporary conditions. In this sense, what we are witnessing is not a civilizational crisis but the loss of applicability of hierarchical coordination." - Andrei Lubalin If hierarchical coordination is losing its applicability, the question becomes: what comes next, and can we even know? At Connected Thinking we explore precisely this. We trace the deep civilizational patterns that brought us here, examine how peer-to-peer relationships and the commons have historically offered alternative logics of coordination, and ask what a next system might actually look like. Our core sessions speak directly to the territory Lubalin maps: 🔹 Civilizational Patterns: An Introduction to Macrohistory. Understanding the long arc that produced the current impasse 🔹 The Pulsation of the Commons Hypothesis. How commons-based coordination has pulsed through history as an alternative 🔹 P2P and the Commons. The emerging logic of peer-to-peer as a post-hierarchical coordination model 🔹 The Next System: What Can We Know? Mapping the contours of what replaces the exhausted form Ancient wisdom.

Connected Thinking Friday: The Great Work - Transitioning to a Mutually Beneficial Civilization "The Great Work now, as we move into a new millennium, is to carry out the transition from a period of human devastation of the Earth to a period when humans would be present to the planet in a mutually beneficial manner." - Thomas Berry, The Great Work, 1999 Berry named the civilizational challenge. But what does the transition actually look like — historically, structurally, systemically? From macrohistory's long patterns of rise and collapse, to the pulsation of the commons as a recurring civilizational force, to peer-to-peer as an emerging relational substrate. Connected Thinking maps the arc Berry pointed to, and asks: what can we actually know about the next system? Ancient wisdom. Contemporary synthesis. Future vision. Lived experience.

Connected Thinking Monday: Information as the Engine of Civilizational Change "Capitalism developed where and when it did because there was high information access. There was high information access because of a major advance in information technology - the press. Where the technology was not controlled by the 'powers that be' there was economic growth and a shift in the entire social structure. Where it was controlled there was no structural change and there was economic ruin. The development of capitalism is a major step change in economic growth. It is also a major change in the way people organize themselves into groups. Major step changes in the growth and in the organization of cultures are found to be related to the introduction and use of information technology. The limit to growth is the limit of effective use of information or the variety limit. Economies are able to grow once the variety limit is raised. Information technology allows people to increase their individual variety in relation to the amount of information processed. This increase in individual variety allows the entire society to grow. Where there is high access to information through technology there is much growth and where there is less information access through control of technology there is less economic growth. When a high access economy is in competition for resources with a low access economy the high access economy will be more economically successful." - Elin Whitney-Smith. Information Technology and Wealth: Cybernetics, History and Economics. 1991 Whitney-Smith wrote this in 1991, yet her insight cuts straight to the heart of our civilizational moment. If every great systemic transformation is ignited by a new information order, what does the rise of peer-to-peer networks, open knowledge, and the digital commons mean for the system that comes next? This is precisely what Connected Thinking explores: From the macrohistorical patterns that shaped past civilizations → to the P2P and Commons dynamics emerging today → to the question we can no longer avoid: What does the next system look like, and how do we get there?

And that the transition from one to the other is generally chaotic or even dramatic." - Olivier Frerot If Frerot is right - and the historians of civilizational cycles tend to agree - then we are living inside one of those dramatic transitions right now. The question is not whether the shift is happening. It's whether we can read the patterns clearly enough to act wisely within it. That is exactly the thread Connected Thinking follows: →From the deep structures of macrohistory and how civilizations rise, shift and reorganize around new value hierarchies → To the Pulsation of the Commons as a recurring civilizational force → To P2P and the Commons as the emerging logic of the next system → And finally to the hardest question: what can we actually know about what comes next?

Connected Thinking Monday Quotes: How will civilisation keep time with the machines it has built? "Every few centuries, civilisation rewires itself. Venkatesh Rao calls these rewiring phases world-machines—vast systems that take roughly four hundred years to assemble before turning on in a single generation. The first modernity machine, built between 1200 and 1600, ran on trade, gunpowder, and the printing press. Its successor, the post-modernity machine of 1600–2000, ran on finance, industry, and computation. That second machine is flickering to a stop. Its replacements—AI systems, algorithmic markets, digital archives—already run faster than any political or cultural clock can regulate. The result is a civilisation that feels perpetually out of time. We are writing now because the new world-machine has just been switched on. It is no longer enough to study energy, capital, or intelligence; what demands invention is temporal governance itself. The question for our century is simple: how will civilisation keep time with the machines it has built?" @ChorPharn, The Mnemonic Stack, 2025 Rao's world-machines are the entry point. Connected Thinking goes deeper: into the macrohistorical patterns beneath each rewiring, the commons that pulse through civilizational transitions, the peer-to-peer logic now emerging as the new machine switches on, and the question of what the next system can actually look like.

What if the chaos around us isn’t collapse, but transformation? "The old hasn’t died yet, and the new isn’t there yet”. Antonio Gramsci called this the time of monsters. But it is also the time of seeds. Seed forms such as DAOs (distributed autonomous organizations), universal currencies independent of state and market, and new accounting systems do exist. None of these are solutions on their own. But they are prefigurations: early forms of something that does not yet have a name. This is what we dive into at Connected Thinking. From macrohistorical patterns that shape collective futures, to the evolution of the commons, peer-to-peer coordination, and emerging post-capitalist models.

Connected Thinking: On History, Technology, and the Art of Seeing What's Coming What if the chaos around us isn't collapse, but transformation? 🌀 @mbauwens has spent decades mapping the edges of change. From peer-to-peer networks to the commons, from medieval guilds to distributed autonomous organizations, he's been tracking something most people miss: 🌱 The seeds of a new civilization, already growing underneath the noise. In this conversation, we explore how the internet didn't just connect computers - it created an entirely new plane of human organization. One where people coordinate across the planet without hierarchies, intermediaries, or anyone giving orders. 🏡 ↔ 🌐 They call it cosmolocalism. What is heavy stays local. What can be shared, travels everywhere. But this isn't just theory. It's a lens. A way of reading history that tells you exactly where you are, and what's worth building right now. Are you post-seasonal, clinging to a logic whose time has passed? Seasonal, playing the current moment well? Or pre-seasonal, working on the seeds that will matter when the time is ripe? 🦋 The caterpillar, Michel reminds us, already carries the DNA of the butterfly. This is Connected Thinking.

Connected Thinking Monday Quotes: Designing a Shared Future "In its current commercial form, the primary purpose of planetary-scale computation is to measure and model individual people in order to predict their next impulse. But a more aspirational goal would be to contribute to the comprehension, composition and enforcement of a shared future that is more rich, diverse and viable. Instead of reviving ideas of nature, we must reclaim the artificial — not fake, but designed. For this, human-machine intelligence and urban-scale automation become part of an expanded landscape of life, information and labor. They are part of a living ecology, not a substitute for one. Put more specifically: The response to anthropogenic climate change will need to be equally anthropogenic." — Benjamin Bratton.
