-- Alfred North Whitehead's ideas and life history
- adjacency statement
- Listening to the narrator speaking about Whitehead's work from a historical perspective brought up the association with the Indyweb's people-centered design
- This is especially salient given that Whitehead felt education played such a critical role in determining the future course of humanity
- If Whitehead were alive, he would likely appreciate the Indyweb design because it is based on the human being as a process rather than a static entity,
- hence renaming human being to human INTERbeCOMing, a noun replaced by a verb
- Indyweb's people-centered design and default temporal, time-date recording of ideas as they occur provides inherent traceability to the evolution of an individual's consciousness
- Furthermore, since it is not only people-centered but also INTERPERSONAL, we can trace the evolution of ideas within a social network.
- Since individual and collective intelligence are both evolutionary and intertwingled, they are both foundational in Indyweb's design ethos.
- In particular, Indyweb frames the important evolutionary process of
- having a conversation with your old self
- as a key aspect of the evolutionary growth of the individual's consciousness
