Episode notes

In this chapter, the speakers discuss their experiences with Occupy Wall Street and how it fundamentally altered their lives. They reflect on the transformative nature of the movement and its parallels to personal growth, highlighting the power of collective intelligence and creative solutions. They also acknowledge the flaws and complexities of the movement, but emphasize the collective expression of care and purity of intention that shone through.

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.
