Human Energy Podcast
Human Energy was founded to share a new scientific & cosmic story introducing the noosphere as a source of meaning for future generations in our globalizing world.
Today we face the unprecedented challenges of rapid social change and new technologies which, together with the scientific picture of an aimless universe, have created a crisis of orientation. Human Energy was founded by scientists, scholars, artists, and storytellers to highlight the causal conditions to our challenges and provide solutions for current and future generations. We articulate these solutions through the "Third Story" worldview (https://humanenergy.io/the-three-stories-of-the-universe/) with focus on the emerging noosphere.
We are beginning to visualize the noosphere’s formation; study its potential future scenarios as humanity takes more and more control of its future course; and explore how human beings connecting across the world may realize themselves socially and individually in its development.

Wikipedia: Leveraging the global collaborative encyclopedia to support education and knowledge-sharing around the world
Presented by Anne Clin
N2 Conference 2023
University of California, Berkeley
Over the past 20 years, Wikipedia has become a major information resource on the internet. It is the only online encyclopedia whose content is created and managed entirely by an enormous volunteer workforce from every continent, developing content in over 300 languages. Under the umbrella of the Wikimedia Foundation, its many sister projects also provide media repositories, databases, dictionaries, and reference materials in hundreds of languages from around the world. The information developed by our hundreds of thousands of volunteers is used for everything from quick responses to common questions to educational tools for students from around the world. The sharing of knowledge is a critical thread in the fabric of the noosphere. Wikipedia’s core objective is that every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. In this presentation, we will discuss the growing use of Wikipedia content in education at all levels from primary school to postgraduate work, both online and offline. We will examine how educators are using Wikipedia in their classes to inculcate online literacy, research skills, communication skills, and knowledge sharing through collaboration and consensus.
