Drawing from her own personal experiences and work with the UN, she and Rufus examine the evolution of human cooperation, the role of identity, and the need for new strategies that emphasize inner development for transformative leadership.They also explore the four key skills taught in the Divinity School—awakened perception, visionary scholarship, crazy wisdom, and passionate action—skills that Bonnitta argues are vital for guiding free and willing participants towards positive change. Their conversation addresses the essential qualities of healthy leadership, voluntary obligation, and effectively managing difficult personalities within conscious communities.You can read more about the Divinity School here.Listen to our first interview with Bonnitta Roy here.Chapters00:01:11 Who gets to build the world we live in and the role of investors 00:07:20 Challenges of large-scale collective action and the role of intrinsic motivation00:12:55 The evolution of human prosociality and cultural factors enabling collective action00:21:35 The importance of identity, evaluative reasoning, and enforced social protocols00:37.25 Circles of trust and transcending the Self 00:53:00 The role of trust and voluntary obligation in community building 01:05:00 The need for transformative leadership and toxicity 01:10:02 The four key leadership skills of the Divinity School About Bonnitta RoyBonnitta Roy teaches insight practices for individuals who are developing meta-cognitive skills, and hosts collective insight retreats for groups interested in breaking away from limiting patterns of thought.

In this conversation, Zak and Rufus examine the shift that has taken place from a belief in the intrinsic value of the universe to the modernist view that denies the reality of value.Zak explains how this loss of value has contributed to the current metacrisis, impacting areas such as education, architecture, and technology. The concept of "civilizational transvaluation" and the dangers of a potential civilizational collapse during this period of profound change are also discussed. Alongside this, the potential for conscious evolution is explored, which could enable new forms of human cooperation and flourishing—provided that we establish an urgent, coherent discourse around value to address the challenges we are facing. This conversation supports the recent book First Principles and First Values: Forty-Two Propositions on CosmoErotic Humanism, the Meta-Crisis, and the World to Come.

In this episode of Ordinary People, Rufus Pollock speaks with Kyle Kowalski, the founder of Sloww. Kyle shares his journey that led him from a high-powered marketing career to becoming a self-described "student of life" and creator of a digital platform dedicated to the art of living. In 2015 Kyle experienced a turning point that shattered his then current and conventional path and set him off on a deeper quest for meaning and purpose. Kyle candidly shares how he navigated the cognitive dissonance of staying in his unfulfilling job while simultaneously immersing himself in the world of intentional living, minimalism, and spiritual self-inquiry. Kyle's story highlights the power in questioning, learning, and trusting the unfolding of one's life journey. In this episode he shares insights into the stages of ego development, the impact of his family conditioning, and the joyful yet challenging process of transcending one's socialized identity.

He's an ex-marketing executive turned self-education entrepreneur after an existential crisis. In one sentence, his purpose is synthesizing lifelong learning that catalyzes deeper development. But, he's not a professor, philosopher, psychologist, sociologist, anthropologist, scientist, mystic, or guru. He's an interconnector across all those humans and many more—an “independent, inquiring, interdisciplinary integrator” (in other words, it's just him, asking questions, crossing disciplines, and making connections). To keep it simple, you can just call him a “synthesizer,” and Sloww is his synthesis on the art of living for students of life. Over the last decade, Kyle has deeply explored lifelong learning, human development, intentional living, life purpose, mental mastery, and spiritual growth. He shares all his learning and living with 10,000+ email subscribers and 50,000+ social followers.About Rufus Rufus Pollock is an entrepreneur, activist and author as well as a long-term zen practitioner.

In this episode of the Life Itself Podcast, Rufus Pollock sits down with Professor Joseph Henrich to continue the discussion on the study of cultural evolution. In this second part of the conversation continuing from episode 3, Rufus Pollock and Joe Henrich discuss the implications of cultural evolution in relation to modern challenges. They explore the potential for intentional experimentation in creating cultural norms that promote trust, cooperation, group cohesion and a sense of community and belonging.  Rufus and Joe touch upon the idea that Western societies might be running on old values and norms cultivated by historical religious practices. They discuss the need to find ways to renew and revitalize these values, potentially by experimenting with intentional communities that incorporate elements of shared meaning, trust-building, ritual and cooperation. The talk moves on to discuss the idea that by allowing a variety of intentional communities to form and observing which ones thrive, societies could potentially find ways to address current challenges and promote positive cultural evolution.

In this episode of the Life Itself Podcast, Rufus Pollock sits down with Professor Joseph Henrich to continue the discussion on the study of cultural evolution. In this episode the significance of family structures and the church takes center stage in their role towards shaping human societies. Joseph explains that different kinship networks influence behaviors, trust, and cooperation within societies and how the Catholic Church played an unintentionally role in shaping Western societies by implementing rules against cousin marriage and polygyny. These rules inadvertently fostered individualism, trust in non-kin relationships, and analytic thinking. These cultural shifts and networks of horizontal connections led to the development of "WEIRD" psychology – Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic, a topic discussed in Henrich's latest book. These cultural transformations resulted in the development of different psychological traits that help to explain the remarkable economic success, innovations, and current challenges faced by Western societies.

In this episode of the Life Itself Podcast, Rufus Pollock is joined by Dr Jeffery Martin. Jeffery is a founder of the Transformative Technology space, a serial entrepreneur, and a social scientist who researches personal transformation and the states of greatest human well-being. In this episode, Jeffery discusses Persistent Non-Symbolic Experience, more commonly referred to as Fundamental well-being. He discusses his research and key findings, and the protocols he has developed and tested to help people obtain "fundamental well-being" in a rapid, secular, and safe way. For notes, further resources, and to listen as a podcast, head to our website: About Dr Jeffery Martin For over 15 years Jeffery has conducted the largest international study on persistent non-symbolic experience (PNSE), which includes the types of consciousness commonly known as enlightenment, nonduality, the peace that passeth understanding, unitive experience, and hundreds of other terms. This resulted in the first reliable, cross-cultural and pan-tradition classification system for these types of experiences. It also led to the fundamental discovery that these were psychological states that had been identified and adopted for thousands of years by many cultures and belief systems. They were not inherently spiritual or religious, or limited to any given culture or population, and could be moulded in many ways to shape the experience. More recently, he has used this research to make systems available to help people obtain profound psychological benefits in a rapid, secular, reliable, and safe way.

Hessen hinkt noch immer hinterher bei der Digitalisierung; ob beim Service in den Behörden oder beim Netzausbau in den ländlichen Regionen. Schnelle Netze sind aber enorm wichtig geworden, nicht nur für die Wirtschaft, auch im Alltag der Menschen. Was tut die hessische Landesregierung? Was die Gemeinden? Und wie wichtig ist eine schnelle digitale Grundversorgung für unser Leben geworden? Oder kann es vielleicht sogar schön sein, mal nicht erreichbar zu sein? Wir sprechen u.a. mit Sebastian Stang, Bürgermeister von Grebenhain im Vogelsbergkreis, mit Henriette Litta von der Open Knowledge Foundation und mit Silas Fürstenberger, Podcaster und Vertreter des “digitalen Minimalismus”.

Pavel hat schon viel erlebt. Vor einigen Jahren baute er Wikimedia zum weltgrößten Wikimedia-Verein auf. Dort arbeitete er sich hoch, quasi vom Ehrenamtlichen zum CEO. Über eine Zwischenstation bei der Open Knowledge Foundation landete er beim Bundesverband Deutscher Stiftung, als Chief Digital Strategist & COO. Sein Ziel: die Chancen der Digitalisierung stärker nutzen - auch für Stiftungen. Seit einem Jahr widmet er sich einer neuen Aufgabe. In einem Video beschreibt er sein Ziel so: "Wir sind die Coalition for Clear Vision. Und wir werden dafür sorgen, dass jeder Mensch auf diesem Planeten bis Ende 2050 ständigen Zugang zu erschwinglichen, qualitativ hochwertigen Augenpflegeleistungen und Brillen hat." Was für eine Aufgabe! Wenn du wissen möchtest, wie man Koalitionen schmiedet, wie Pavel das deutsche "non-profit-land" einschätzt und was er in seiner Zeit beim Bundesverband gelernt hat, dann bist du hier genau richtig. ________________________________________________________ Quellen: https://tccv.org Jimmy Cliff - I Can See Clearly Now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrHxhQPOO2c ________________________________________________________ Eine Produktion von MAKIKO* für die Viva Equality gemeinnützige UG Gastgeber: Julius Bertram Redaktion: Sarah Seeliger Mitarbeit: Martin Gertz Produktion: MAKIKO*

Windrad, Textilrecycling, Wasseraufbereitung und Co.: In dieser Folge des Netzbastelns stellt uns Moritz Metz sechs Open-Hardware-Projekte vor, die von der Open Knowledge Foundation gefördert werden. Moritz hat in Berlin mit den Erfinder*innen der ausgewählten Projekte gesprochen. Wenn ihr das gerade lest, funktioniert das wegen Open Source – mindestens das halbe Internet basiert auf quelloffener Software, die oft von Ehrenamtlichen entwickelt und kostenlos weitergegeben wird. Aber es gibt auch Open Hardware – also Erfindungen , Objekte, Geräte, deren Teilelisten und Bauanleitungen der Allgemeinheit zur Verfügung stehen. So war zum Beispiel das selbstgeschweißte Netzbasteln-Lastenrad einer Open-Hardware-Anleitung entlehnt. Um mehr Open-Hardware-Dokumentationen für die Zivilgesellschaft zu fördern, hat die "Open Knowledge Foundation" einen Ideenwettbewerb ausgerufen – und eine zwölfköpfige, ehrenamtliche Jury, der auch Netzbastler Moritz Metz angehörte, hat beschlossen, sechs Open-Hardware-Projekte zu fördern. In Berlin wurden diese bemerkenswerten Bauwerke kürzlich vorgestellt – und Moritz hat mit deren Erfinder*innen gesprochen. 1: Die Textilrecycling-Maschine von Natalija und Sara kann Gestricktes zurück in Vlies und damit Garn umwandeln. 2: Das Windkit soll pro Jahr Strom für 200 Waschmaschinenladungen erzeugen. 3: LibreWater will Meerwasser entsalzen und zu Trinkwasser machen - mit Solarenergie. 4: Das mobile Heißdampfsystem will Küchenkollektiven (zum Beispiel auf Festivals oder Camps) helfen, Geschirr schnell und portabel keimfrei zu bekommen. 5: Das OpenMycoLab will einen sterilen Reinraum in einem ausrangierten Kühlcontainer schaffen - zur Pilzzucht, aber auch als mobiles Labor in Krisengebieten. 6: Laser4DIY ist ein professionell entwickelter Open-Source-Lasercutter für Elektronik-Platinen.

Rufus Pollock is joined by Dr Jeffery Martin. Jeffery is a founder of the Transformative Technology space, a serial entrepreneur, and a social scientist who researches personal transformation and the states of greatest human well-being. In this episode, Jeffery discusses Persistent Non-Symbolic Experience, more commonly referred to as Fundamental Wellbeing. He discusses his research and key findings, and the protocols he has developed and tested to help people obtain "fundamental wellbeing" in a rapid, secular, and safe way. For notes, further resources, and to listen as a podcast, head to our website: About Dr Jeffery Martin: For over 15 years Jeffery has conducted the largest international study on persistent non-symbolic experience (PNSE), which includes the types of consciousness commonly known as: enlightenment, nonduality, the peace that passeth understanding, unitive experience, and hundreds of other terms. This resulted in the first reliable, cross-cultural and pan-tradition classification system for these types experience. It also led to the fundamental discovery that these were psychological states that had been identified and adopted for thousands of years by many cultures and belief systems. They were not inherently spiritual or religious, or limited to any given culture or population, and could be molded in many ways to shape the experience. More recently, he has used this research to make systems available to help people obtain profound psychological benefits in a rapid, secular, reliable, and safe way.

In this episode, Rufus Pollock sits down with philosopher, practitioner, and spiritual mentor, Dr. Thomas Steininger. Dr Steininger offers insights and reflections from over 30 years of spiritual practice and cultivation of emergent, co-conscious "We" spaces and practices. Rufus and Thomas explore emergent dialogue, the victories and shadow sides of individuation, and the integral and metamodern movements. Watch on YouTube and view the episode transcript here: https://lifeitself.org/2022/12/08/thomas-steininger-on-emergent-dialogue-and-transcending-individualism/ Dr. Thomas Steininger has been cultivating transformative “We Space” practices for nearly 30 years. He is a philosopher, practitioner, and spiritual mentor and has dived deeply into the practice of meditation and into an exploration of the evolution of human consciousness, particularly the current transition from a hyperindividual “I” culture to a co-conscious “We.” As an authority on cultural evolution and the different spiritual and religious currents that have formed our postmodern world, he brings this perspective into his work as publisher of evolve-magazin, the leading German magazine on consciousness and culture and as faculty at Meridian U. in California. He also co-founded and developed a process of emergent dialogue, an advanced practice in conscious communication.

Catherine Stihler OBE was appointed CEO of Creative Commons, in August 2020, a non-profit organisation that helps overcome legal obstacles to advance better sharing of knowledge and creativity to address the world's pressing challenges. She has been an international champion for openness as a legislator and practitioner for over 20 years. She was a member of the European Parliament for Scotland representing the Labour Party. At the European Parliament, she became one of Scotland's longest-serving and most respected legislators. Prior to joining Creative Commons, she served as the CEO of the Open Knowledge Foundation. Catherine reflects on this trajectory that led her to Creative Commons and the lessons learned from the EU Copyright Directive adoption. She talks about the growing importance of Creative Commons licences and the importance of various ongoing legislative developments (e.g. AI, disinformation). She highlights the value of Creative Commons for creativity and knowledge sharing. Finally, throughout the episode she emphasises the need for the community, from libraries to civil society organisations, that are seeking a progressive copyright reform to unite and stand together in order to ensure their voice is heard by policymakers.

Det er nærmest som sådan en børne-gåde: hvad er det, man kan blive rigere af at give væk? Svaret er data! Og det er lige præcis det, der sker, når ikke-personfølsomme data fra offentlige registre gøres tilgængelige for os alle sammen. I Kraniebrud i dag bliver vi klogere på, hvad frie data er, hvad vi kan bruge dem til, og hvad det betyder for os og for samfundet, når det offentlige sætter data fri. Medvirkende: Morten Lind, konsulent hos Septima og tidligere seniorkonsulent hos Kort- & Matrikelstyrelsen, Morten Thaarup, afdelingschef for Data og Rådgivning ved DMI og Christian Villum, Open Knowledge Foundation, iværksætter og digital strategikonsulent Vært: Ditte Maj Gregersen See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kann ein Hackathon dabei helfen die Corona-Krise zu bewältigen? Kann Partizipation Verwaltungen und Behörden in Zukunft krisenfester machen? Und welche Rolle spielen digitale Tools und eine aktive Zivilgesellschaft für eine resiliente Gesellschaft? Um diesen Fragen auf den Grund zu gehen, sprechen wir in dieser Folge mit Adriana Groh von der Open Knowledge Foundation in Berlin. Dort leitet sie zum einen das Netzwerk “Code for Germany” und ist darüber hinaus die Direktorin des Protoype Funds, einem Accelerator für zivilgesellschaftliche Innovationsprojekte. Kurz: Civic Tech.

The tech giant behind Windows and Office promises to remove all the carbon it has emitted since it was founded in 1975. Plus, is tracking for digital ads out of control? And we hear about a new BBC podcast in which teenagers interview technology pioneers. Presented by Jane Wakefield, with BBC tech reporter Chris Fox, and special guest Catherine Stihler, chief executive of the non-profit Open Knowledge Foundation. Produced by Jat Gill.

Julia Kloiber ist, was man im englischen „Technologist“ nennt, was so viel heißt, dass sie sich auf allen möglichen Ebenen mit Technologie befasst. Doch Julias Arbeit ist nicht abstrakt, sondern konkret. Sie organisiert finanzielle Unterstützung, Vernetzung, Wissen und Arbeitskraft für zivilgesellschaftliche Technologieprojekte. Sie hat unter anderem für die Open Knowledge Foundation sowie für Mozilla gearbeitet, hat den Prototype Fund mitgegründet und ist derzeit „Managing Director“ von Superrr Lab, einer Organisation, den ethischen Einsatz von Technologie fördert. Technologie und Zukunftsvisionen waren immer eng miteinander verschaltet, doch die letzten Jahre hat sich die Stimmung gedreht. Mir scheint, dass technologische Zukunftsentwürfe nur noch hoffnungslos dystopisch gedacht werden können. Gibt es denn gar kein Grund mehr zu hoffen? Und wenn doch, in welche Richtung? Wer anders, als Julia könnte mir diese Fragen am besten beantworten.

Catherine Stihler, CEO of Open Knowledge Foundation, talks about how she is working toward an "open world where all non-personal information is free for everyone to use, build on, and share." As a former member of European Parliament, she also details the role that governments can play. What would a "fair, free, and open future" look like? What effect is today's divisive political atmosphere having on this goal?

Dejan Mihajlović, Melanie Stilz, Sandra Schön Wie lässt sich Lehren und Lernen in der digitalen Gesellschaft verantwortungsvoll gestalten? Ideen und Tools gibt es bereits zu Genüge - digital-gestützte Methoden werden als Ausgangspunkt einer kritisch-kompetenten und kreativen Medienbildung dringend gefordert. Als Bausteine zeitgemäßer Lernsettings geraten sie zunehmend in den Blick. Und doch gelingt ihre Umsetzung in der Schule nur vereinzelt. Diese Herausforderung einer (zügigen) Bildungstransformation steht bei edulabs.de im Fokus. Als Projekt der Open Knowledge Foundation setzt die Initiative auf Engagement und Vernetzung einer freiwilligen Community an Bildungsinnovator*innen, die ihre Konzepte gemeinsam entwickeln und verfügbar machen. Sind solche Bottom-up-Ansätze gemessen an der sozialen Wirkung zielführend? Ist es überhaupt die Aufgabe der Zivilgesellschaft, dem Bildungssystem auf die Sprünge zu helfen? Und in der Praxis: Wie werden Lehrer*innen ermutigt und befähigt, ihren Unterricht auf die neuen Kompetenzerfordernisse anzupassen? Was bedeutet es, dabei Bildung als Gemeingut zu denken und Open Source zu fordern? Wo bringt diese Strategie der Nachnutzbarkeit, offener Lizenzen und einer Kultur des Teilens einen pädagogisch-didaktischen Mehrwert? Was sind ihre Voraussetzungen und Nachteile? Diese Fragen möchten wir mit unseren Gästen aus Medienbildung und Open Education, Schule und Lehrerbildung und dem Publikum diskutieren.

Anna Alberts, Michael Peters, Edgar Zanella Alvarenga Mit dem Re-launch von OffenerHaushalt.de macht die Open Knowledge Foundation es möglich die Haushaltspläne von Bund, Ländern und Kommunen einfacher zu verstehen und selbstständig zu visualisieren. Anstatt klobiger PDFs mit über 1000 Seiten, entstehen bei uns Treemaps und Barcharts, die die Analyse öffentlicher Finanzen ermöglichen. Unsere Visualisierungen erlauben es Haushaltsdaten zu vergleichen, sodass die Verteilung der Ressourcen und politische Prioritäten einfach erkannt werden. Wir stellen nicht nur die Zahlen vor, sondern zeigen auch auf welchen verschiedenen Ebenen im Haushalt wichtige Themen zu finden sind.  Anhand von konkreten Beispielen zeigen wir, wie man große politische Debatten in den Haushalten nachvollziehen kann. Lassen sich Aussagen über politische Prioritäten anhand der Haushaltszahlen belegen? Können vielleicht sogar Wahlversprechen überprüft werden? Wir geben dem Publikum Einsicht in die Welt der Zahlen und klicken uns gemeinsam durch die Daten: Was wird durchschnittlich für soziale Leistungen ausgegeben? Wie viel ist das pro Einwohner? Ist eine Milliarde Euro wirklich so viel, oder kommt es auf das Verhältnis an? Wir vergleichen einige Haushalte und nutzen die Ergebnisse um gemeinsame Thesen zu erarbeiten.  Des weiteren widmen wir uns den großen Fragen: Wie transparent ist die deutsche Haushaltspolitik? Wie viel Steuern zahlen eigentlich Großkonzerne in Deutschland? Was bedeutet die “Schwarze Null” und wie ist das mit der Schuldenbremse? Und ist Berlin wirklich so arm aber sexy?!   TeilnehmerInnen: 20 - 40

Laut der Open Knowledge Foundation steht der Bund in Sachen Informationsfreiheit noch schlechter da als die meisten Länder. Bei einem entsprechenden Ranking landet er auf dem vorletzten Platz. Das Thema Transparenz ist also noch längst nicht abgehakt – auch wenn manche Parteien das vielleicht anders sehen.Der Artikel zum Nachlesen: https://detektor.fm/politik/wer-nicht-fragt-bleibt-dumm-parteien-zu-informationsfreiheit

Julia Kloiber arbeitet bei der Open Knowledge Foundation und erzählt u. a. von dem Prototype Fund und dem Projekt „Code For Germany“. Wir besprechen außerdem, warum Offenheit und Transparenz der digitalen Gesellschaft gut tun. In der zweiten Hälfte des Gesprächs widmen wir uns der Gerechtigkeitsfrage: Ist die Sharing-Economy ein Segen oder ein Fluch?

Beim 32C3, dem 32. Chaos Communication Congress, ist Paula Glaser als Projektmanagerin für "Jugend hackt" mit Jugendlichen vor Ort dabei. Sie berichtet von ihrer Masterarbeit zu "Jugend hackt", von ihrer Arbeit bei der Open Knowledge Foundation und von ihren Eindrücken vom 32C3.

This event is a collaboration between the NMC and Media & Technology, a Professional Network of the American Alliance of Museums. In this discussion via Google+ Hangout On Air, a panel of experts explores the variety of ways that cultural institutions such as galleries, libraries, archives, and museums can apply open licensing to their collections, as well as how this type of licensing benefits both institutions and their audiences. The conversation introduces viewers to open licensing models and articulates the potential benefits and challenges for implementing open licensing at institutions of all sizes. Panel Moderator: Digital Strategist Michael Edson of the Smithsonian Institution and Open Knowledge Foundation

Varför äga en bil om du kan dela med andra i en bilpool? Varför köpa en dyr klänning för en kväll när du kan låna? Varför bo på hotell om du kan byta hus med någon annan på semestern? De senaste tio åren har en rörelse vuxit fram där privatpersoner delar både prylar, tjänster, upplevelser och kunskap med varandra, tack vare särskilda sidor på internet där den enes behov kan kopplas ihop med någon annans tillgångar. - Det handlar om egenmakt. Vi kan mycket mer än vi tror, och när man fått den insikten finns det bara en väg framåt, säger Christian Villum från Open Knowledge Foundation om delandets ekonomi som han och andra med honom tror kommer bli den tredje Industriella revolutionen.

The Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN) promotes the creation, dissemination and use of ‘open knowledge.’ As part of this activity OKFN developed a data repository called CKAN, and has seen this become increasingly important to a range of data dissemination activities such as data.gov.uk and publicdata.eu. In this podcast I talk with OKFN Director Rufus Pollock and CKAN Product Owner Irina Bolychevsky, to learn more about CKAN, its use in the context of open data, and the wider implications for dissemination of any data (whether open or closed). Following up on a blog post that I wrote at the start of 2012, this is the tenth in an ongoing series of podcasts with key stakeholders in the emerging category of Data Markets.
