The strange story of the fold

One strange bit of this story is the idea of the world folding out from some centre - God, Bangs, etc. - and along with this the idea that we are the only creatures that are intelligent and thus somehow mark a decisive cut in the "unfolding".
If we change the perspective, we can start thinking about the world and ourselves as products of the same substances. And out of series of divergent or multiple, but connected processes rather than as a break with the rest of the universe (and small things around us).
Collective intelligence is also about being ready to see the intelligence and the promising events in everything around us - things, beliefs, spaces, etc.
This, of course, is completely obvious to people at Reboot. Matter matters, connections make a difference, and events of collectivity and intuition are the way to learn. So all of this will serve as a fine chill-out for the bright people here...
