Towards a science of ideas: An inquiry into the emergence, evolution and expansion of ideas and their translation into action
Ideas are the basic building blocks that construct the world we live in. Yet despite the abundance of literature on creativity and innovation, there has been little reflection on ideas as such, their nature and their working mechanisms. This book provides foundations for a reflection focused specifically on ideas - what they are, how they emerge, develop, interact, gain acceptance and become translated into actions. In doing so the book moves beyond the mainstream approaches, offering new, promising theoretical angles, presenting original findings and initiating a research agenda for a science of ideas. This book provides a fresh perspective on how to conceptualize and study ideas and their working mechanisms by treating ideas as the main object of the study and by bringing together a group of original thinkers, scholars, and philosophers to move beyond the mainstream academic discourse on creativity and innovation.
A Universe Full of Magical Things
Traditional science holds that everything that exists starts with matter, but this undocumented belief must be false, according to Quantum Mechanics. It has to be! QM demonstrates that
• There is no such thing as matter or space or time
• A conscious observer is a necessary condition for anything to exist.
• There is only subjectivity without any objective truth.
• The world we experience, therefore, must be an illusion, like a holodeck program or a virtual game.
And no one disputes the conclusions of this mysterious science—Quantum Mechanics underlies all of reality. This virtual experience we are having is nevertheless alive and cons...
The Social Design of Technical Systems
Hundreds of millions of people use social technologies like Wikipedia, Facebook and YouTube every day, but what makes them work? And what is the next step? The Social Design of Technical Systems explores the path from computing revolution to social evolution. Based on the assumption that it is essential to consider social as well as technological requirements, as we move to create the systems of the future, this book explores the ways in which technology fits, or fails to fit, into the social reality of the modern world. Important performance criteria for social systems, such as fairness, synergy, transparency, order and freedom, are clearly explained for the first time from within a compreh...

Soul Revolution - Trinity of Humanity
Where the Land of MEAT & Honey proved religions falsities, opened long-hidden truths and taught how to make the much needed physical and soul return trip to our Creator; SOUL Revolution combines new and amazing findings from our modern sciences with our many ancient stories, myths, and superstition narratives, and weaves the many parallels between them. Finally reconciling both the ancient and modern back together to provide a panoramic view of WHO our souls truly are; WHERE we are; WHY we are truly here within this physical existence; WHAT this physical existence actually is; WHO it is that has and continues to control us physically and spiritually by their evil stream of consciousness, and HOW they thwart our souls return back to our true Creator!
