Collective intelligence

Collective Intelligence in the New Psychology of DREVO

In the New Psychology of DREVO, collective intelligence is viewed as the ability of a group of people to combine knowledge, experience, abilities, and values ​​to create solutions that are not possible for an individual.

The mind of an individual has its limits.

But the unification of many people allows us to significantly expand the possibilities of knowledge, creativity and creation.

Collective intelligence is one of the main driving forces behind the development of civilization.

What is collective intelligence?

Collective intelligence is the ability of a community to think, learn, make decisions, and create new things through the collaboration of its members.

It does not arise because people think alike.

On the contrary, its strength lies in the diversity of knowledge, experience and views.

Each person sees only part of the picture.

Together people are able to see much more.

Conditions for the emergence of collective intelligence

Collective intelligence does not arise automatically.

For its appearance you need:

• trust;→
• respect;→
• freedom of expression;
• diversity of views;
• open exchange of knowledge;
• critical thinking;→
• willingness to listen;
• common goal;→
• responsibility of each participant.

If even some of these conditions are missing, the group's potential is reduced.

Why does the group sometimes make mistakes?

Bringing people together doesn't always make better decisions.

The group may make mistakes if:

• pressure of the majority;
• fear of expressing disagreement;
• cult of authority;
• dissemination of unverified information;
• emotional polarization;
• lack of independent criticism.

Therefore, collective intelligence requires a culture of open discussion and testing of ideas.

Collective intelligence and artificial intelligence

In the 21st century, collective intelligence begins to include not only people, but also intelligent technologies.

Artificial intelligence is capable of quickly analyzing huge amounts of information.

A person is able to set goals, evaluate consequences and make moral decisions.

In the DREVO model, the future of collective intelligence lies in the collaboration of people and intelligent systems, where technology enhances human capabilities, while people retain responsibility for their decisions.

Levels of collective intelligence

Collective intelligence develops gradually.

It can manifest itself at different levels:

• family;→
• team;
• organization;
• scientific community;
• city;→
• state;
• humanity.→

Each subsequent level requires more trust, better communication and a more developed culture of collaboration.

DREVO as a collective intelligence network

In the DREVO philosophy, the tree serves as an image of collective intelligence.

• Roots receive knowledge from the past.
• The trunk unites them.
• The branches develop in different directions.
• Leaves collect new information.
• The fruits become new knowledge and solutions.
• A single tree develops in a forest.

In the same way, a person reveals his intellectual potential through interaction with other people.

Practice of developing collective intelligence

Collective intelligence develops when people:

• freely exchange knowledge;
• solve problems together;
• test ideas with facts;
• know how to admit mistakes;
• respect differences of opinion;
• combine knowledge from different fields;
• put the common good above personal vanity.

The higher the culture of cooperation, the higher the quality of collective thinking.

The Future of Collective Intelligence

The new psychology of DREVO suggests that the next stage of human development will be the transition from a society of competing intelligences to a society of cooperating intelligences.

Advances in science, artificial intelligence, global communications, and education are creating conditions in which knowledge can be unified faster than ever before in history.

The main task is not the accumulation of information, but the ability of people to jointly transform it into wise and creative decisions.

The main principle

One person can discover a new idea.

But it is collaboration that transforms an idea into a culture, a technology, a social institution, or a civilization.

Collective intelligence begins where the struggle for personal superiority ends and the joint search for truth begins.

Definition

Collective intelligence is the ability of a community to pool knowledge, experience, abilities, and diversity of perspectives to understand the world together, make better decisions, and create new knowledge and value.

In the New Psychology of DREVO, collective intelligence is viewed as the highest form of cooperation, in which each person retains their individuality but becomes part of a larger process of social and civilisational development.

The future belongs not to the most powerful intellect, but to the society that learns to unite many minds while preserving the freedom, respect and responsibility of each person.
