The chapter explores the speakers' personal experiences with Occupy Wall Street and their motivations for participating in the movement. They discuss their involvement in a community group focused on social justice and their skepticism of traditional media coverage, leading them to attend an Occupy event in Wellington.
In this conversation, I speak with Richard Dennis Bartlett. Richard is an author, organizational consultant, and founder of Loomio and The Hum, as well as a member of Enspiral network. He and I share an identity as former participants in Occupy Wall Street, me in NYC and Richard in New Zealand.
Together we reflect on whether Occupy Wall Street could be seen as a ‘bootstrapped’ collective intelligence, the rise of the vTaiwan movement and digital governance, and the need to leverage both social and digital technology together to create robust expressions of benevolent collective intelligence.
