The document discusses how religions and beliefs have evolved over time based on changing human survival conditions and social developments. It argues that early hunter-gatherer societies developed shamanism while early settlements led to goddess worship. Urbanization around 3000 BC led to the rise of kingdoms, trade, conflicts and the need for higher-level belief systems. It then examines the major world religions that emerged between 1000 BC to 600 AD and their philosophical underpinnings. The document advocates for an evolution of human consciousness towards greater empathy, cooperation and sustainability in light of modern challenges facing the planet.

4. Look at religions through ethology : 1-beliefs are built by human mind 2-they are inspired by survival conditions, that change 3-practices are selected through darwinian processes.
5. Hunters-gatherers: chamanism 1-the man of knowledge : the chaman 2-the initiatic trip, the second birth 3-the places and processes of communication with spirits Memory bird
9. Likely scenario : -3000, camel and horse are domesticated massive urban development : trade is developing caravans <- predators (from central asia…) protectors -> kingdoms Trade + conflicts -> Guiles, deceits Zarathustra : an upper level is needed where truth is to be claimed

39. The time barrier We are not living in an information society, but in a « disinformation society » Classical economics assumed that actors were perfectly informed lucid and watchful. The basic assumption being false, the theory is not valid any more Desorientation is everywhere : Hyperchoice (Toffler), cognitive overload… and what about Gramsci’s cultural hegemony ?

47. The key question of foresight, which will be even more present in the coming decades, is the disruption of the equilibrium between nature and human species. The greenhouse effect, the reduction of biodiversity, the exhaustion of sea resources and the destruction of tropical rainforests impose behaviours opposite to the current watchwords of productivity, consumption and competition. If the Internet is intended to work as a planetary nervous system, is it able to become the base of a global consciousness of the whole human species, enough to reverse the regulations of its behaviours ?

56. Earth seen from the sky The « struggle for life » vision (Spencer) shows only a small part of life, natural pruning. The essence of life is made of cooperation, symbiosis of cells, individuals, organisations, species This cooperation is made of information exchange flows, recognition and anticipation. It is the rise of consciousness.
57. « cosmic speculation garden » Spencer’s vision, the « struggle for life » inspired economic and political thinking since the industrial revolution (real politics, competitivity…) Facing the limits of the planet, maintaining this vision would lead to collapse (Jared Diamond) Thus, evolution of consciousness needs a great step forward

Hinweis der Redaktion
Yolin a écrit que l’Internet était une révolution technique comparable à l’écriture. L’écriture, elle, a été inventée en Mésopotamie pour les besoins de l’échange marchand (Jean Bottéro), en même temps que la comptabilité, la métrologie, l’école et les tribunaux. Internet est né d’une initiative militaire visant à favoriser une communication rapide entre équipes de recherche distantes. Après quoi, il a été récupéré pour des échanges, la plupart désintéressés et non marchands.
La mondialisation est un phénomène ancien : La « route de la soie » se constitue progressivement, dès le 6ème siècle avJC. Après l’échec des croisades, dont un des objectifs était de déverrouiller l’emprise musulmane sur cette route, les européens font la seconde mondialisation, maritime, aux 14 et 15èmes siècles. Aujourd’hui, nous assistons à la troisième, digitale et instantanée.

Derrière le masque d’une information toujours plus abondante et accessible, se cache une société de désinformation, dont les acteurs cherchent à occuper le mental du public par des messages conformes à leurs intérêts. Le spam n’est pas une « bavure ». Il est au contraire un des aspects essentiels (heureusement pas le seul) du système qui se construit actuellement. Par voie de conséquence, la désorientation, qui autrefois concernait surtout les personnes âgées ou les malades mentaux, devient un phénomène général touchant toutes sortes de personnes en difficulté.
Some universities, in an attempt to maintain quality, focus on the media-based delivery of “star” faculty and researchers, leading to the “Hollywood-ization” of education, and “edutainment,” touting the excellence of its production values.
