    Jun 30 2025

    Michael Pirson Presentation:

    The Business of the Noosphere

    What if the business of business wasn’t business but the Noosphere? What does that even mean? Business has been a driving force of the economy, politics, and society for better or worse. In this session we explore the paradigmatic foundations of business and organizations at large to become a lever of Noospheric progress. We also highlight the possibility and potential of leadership of business and organizations to create a world that works for everyone.

    N2 2024: The Noosphere & The Global South took place on December 16th - 18th in Ben Guerir, Morocco 🌐

    The N2 Conference looks to deepen our present understanding and future vision for the noosphere, the sphere of human consciousness and mental activity especially in regard to its influence on the biosphere and in relation to evolution.

    Discover how human energy, creativity, and the Noosphere are interconnected in Michael Jacob's compelling N2 2024 presentation.

    Drawing on the visionary work of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Jacob explores the concept of "meta-aliveness" and how our individual and collective energy drives conscious evolution. From the hidden creativity of cells and brains to the transformative power of imagination, this talk bridges science, poetry, and mystery to illuminate humanity's role in shaping the future. Watch to learn how embracing the unknown can unlock the noosphere's full potential.


    The N2 2024: The Noosphere & the Global South conference explored the intersection of technology, society, and the noosphere—the sphere of human thought and collective consciousness. Hosted by Human Energy and UM6P, this year’s event brought together leading thinkers, visionaries, and innovators to discuss solutions to the challenges posed by the techno-social era. Through engaging presentations and collaborative dialogue, N2 2024 aims to inspire actionable insights and transformative change.

    Michael Jacob's presentation:

    What is human energy? An investigation into life, experience and evolution

    Human energy is the vital link between our personal, individual lives and the living, evolutionary potential of the noosphere. This presentation will move beyond abstract conceptualizations of human energy that describe it as a physical, biological, and moral force, to incorporate experiential knowledge in the service of conscious evolution.

    Conscious evolution is how the noosphere enables evolvability: the capacity to increase the probability of an evolutionary outcome. As a fuel for evolvability, human energy reflects a natural extension of biological processes that utilize surplus metabolic energy for adaptive evolution. This latent energy leverages serendipitous interactions within biochemical, neural, and social networks to constellate innovative pathways. As a result of this creative energy, organisms are more than literally “alive” (surviving) but are “meta-alive,” (flourishing and evolvable). This presentation explores the radical hypothesis of human energy: when we feel metaphorically alive, the noosphere is biologically alive.

    Nonetheless, biological descriptions are insufficient to capture the felt experience of human energy. Making meaning of this experience, which often takes the form of a vital calling in one’s life, requires biology and poetry. What emerges from this creative process cannot be predicted, but is nourished through the energy of the arts, music, and literature (the humanities). I propose that through our human energy, we are creatively called to participate in the noosphere and awaken it to life. This work and its scholarly support requires us to build a transdisciplinary bridge between the biological sciences and the humanities.

    Marouane Jaouat's Presentation:

    Awe and Wonder: Gateways to Planetary Consciousness

    In an age of accelerating connectivity, the transformative power of awe and wonder emerges as a crucial catalyst for the Noosphere's development. These peak experiences - moments that dissolve our ordinary sense of self and connect us to something larger - are essential drivers in the evolution of collective consciousness. As humanity faces unprecedented global challenges, these states of expanded awareness serve not just as individual transformation tools, but as amplifiers of collective intelligence. Cultivating such experiences becomes vital for bridging polarized narratives and co-creating a new "Third Story" - one that could foster the emergence of planetary consciousness necessary for our collective survival and flourishing.

  • Fear and loathing in the network: the paradox of social media & collective well-being | Johan Bollen | N2 2024

    Fear and loathing in the network: the paradox of social media and collective well-being

    Modern life is marked by a strange paradox: we are now more socially connected than ever which is an important condition for human thriving, yet the prevalence of mental health disorders has increased sharply. Mental health disorders are now one of the world’s leading causes of disability. This is particularly the case for our youth. Suicide rates for young adults are now considered very high, a source of great concern. How can the most socially connected generation since the dawn of humanity also be its most anxious and depressed? In my talk I will revisit some of the evidence pointing towards the involvement of social media in this paradox. While social media platforms provide an unprecedented opportunity to establish meaningful social connections across geographical and socio-cultural boundaries, they are marked by several characteristics which may drive the present rise in mental health disorders. Since young adults are online practically continuously, they may be most exposed to these effects. I will discuss how network effects such as assortativity and the friendship paradox may conspire against our mental health. In addition, I will look at the interaction between cognitive distortions and the psycho-linguistic effects of online social networks. Evidence is pointing towards online social networks serving as vectors for the diffusion and propagation of a mode of thinking and communicating that is quite common among individuals with internalizing disorders such as depression and anxiety. We have analyzed large-scale text databases and shown marked increases of markers of cognitive distortions in books and other content. Finally, I will highlight some fascinating relations between cognitive distortions and societal polarization which may be fueling political and societal dysfunction in the West.

  • Noosphere, Technosphere, Biosphere: What Futures? | Isabelle Delannoy Presentation N2 2024
    Jun 2 2025

    The N2 2024: The Noosphere & the Global South conference explored the intersection of technology, society, and the noosphere—the sphere of human thought and collective consciousness. Hosted by Human Energy and UM6P, this year’s event brought together leading thinkers, visionaries, and innovators to discuss solutions to the challenges posed by the techno-social era. Through engaging presentations and collaborative dialogue, N2 2024 aims to inspire actionable insights and transformative change.

    Isabelle Delannoy's Presentation:

    Noosphere, Technosphere, Biosphere: What Futures?

    In 1926, when Vladimir Vernadsky introduced the concepts of the geosphere, biosphere, technosphere, and noosphere, he viewed them as the five successive levels of evolution on Earth, each one creating the next and, in turn, being modified by it: the physical sphere generates the living sphere, which in turn, through humans, generates the technosphere, which in turn generates a sphere of global thought, and each of these manifestations produces its effects on the previous ones. Through this conceptualization, he presented the first systemic vision of how the Earth functions.

    Today, as the biosphere undergoes the greatest extinction crisis in its history, and as the majority of human populations who are its victims are not responsible for it, Vernadsky’s concepts provide a powerful framework for thinking about and understanding our contemporary problems. What thoughts and technologies are in conflict with the biosphere to the point of destroying it? What is their history, where do they originate, where are they received, and at what level do they spread? How do they evolve? We argue that two scenarios are currently possible and emerging: one is the development of a way of thinking and techniques in harmony with the biosphere, and the other is a scenario where the technosphere and noosphere persist without the persistence of the biosphere.

    Isabelle Delannoy is the CEO and co-founder of L’Entreprise Symbiotique, a professor affiliated with CNAM, and the author of L’économie symbiotique, régénérer la planète, l’économie et la société, Actes Sud, 2017.

    This talk will be presented in French.

    Original French Translation:

    Noosphère, Technosphère, Biosphère : quels futurs ?

    Quand en 1926, Vladimir Vernadsky émet les concepts de géosphère, biosphère, technosphère et noosphère, il les envisage comme les cinq niveaux d’évolution successifs de la Terre, chacune créant la suivante et étant en retour modifiée par elle : la sphère physique engendre la sphère vivante qui elle-même via l’humain engendre la technique qui elle-même engendre une sphère de pensée globale et chacune de ces manifestations produit ses effets sur les précédentes. Par cette conceptualisation, il énonce la première vision systémique du fonctionnement de la Terre.

    Aujourd’hui, alors que la biosphère vit la plus grande crise d’extinction que nous connaissions de son histoire, et que la majorité des populations humaines qui en sont les victimes n’en sont pas les responsables, les concepts de Vernadsky fournissent un cadre puissant pour penser et comprendre nos problèmes contemporains. Quelle pensée et quelles techniques entrent en conflit avec la biosphère au point de la détruire ? Quelle est leur histoire, d’où sont-elles émises, où sont-elles reçues et à quel niveau diffusent-elles ? Comment évoluent-elles ? Nous défendrons que deux scénarios sont aujourd’hui possibles et en émergence : celui du développement d’une pensée et de techniques en accord avec la biosphère et celui d’une Terre où technosphère et noosphère persistent sans la persistance de la biosphère.

  • Teilhard’s Noosphere: Why Evolution and Religion Belong Together | Ilia Delio Presentation N2 2024
    May 26 2025

    In this insightful talk, theologian and Teilhardian scholar Ilia Delio explores the profound connections between science, religion, and the noosphere. Drawing on Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's groundbreaking ideas, she discusses the intrinsic relationship between matter, consciousness, and the spiritual energy driving evolution. Delio emphasizes the need for a holistic understanding of science and religion as complementary forces shaping the future of humanity and the planet. Her thought-provoking perspective invites us to consider a new, unified vision of knowing and being in the emerging noosphere.

    Ilia Delio's Presentation:
    Teilhard’s Noosphere: Why Evolution and Religion Belong Together

    The Noosphere is our present reality of complexified matter and global consciousness. Scientists mapping the Noosphere show grids of interconnections that reveal a formative pattern of a higher-ordered collective. Teilhard de Chardin envisioned this pattern almost a century ago, but he saw that emerging complexified wholeness cannot be adequately sustained without religion. He did not conceive religion as a confessional set of doctrines but the depth dimension of all reality, the search for ultimate meaning, and the state of being grasped by ultimate concerns. “Religion and evolution,” he said, “are destined to form one single continuous organism, in which their respective lives prolong, are dependent on, and complete one another.” Religion is the biological response to the emergence of spiritual energy. His sense of religion, therefore, is experiential and supports faith in the future. The true function of religion is to sustain and spur on the progress of life. In his view, no one religion can satisfy the religious spirit of the earth and its evolution towards Omega. If religion is a biological phenomenon, what is religion on the level of emerging Noosphere? Science has significantly advanced the Noosphere but without a rebirth of religion, the future is fragile.

    Gregory Stock & Sadie Stock Presentation

    Swimming in the Noosphere

    The nature of human existence is shifting abruptly. Our recognition of digital natives, which was so widely touted in the early 2000’s, has turned out to be but prelude to the growing realization that we are now wading into an unfathomable noospheric pool of AI-centered information flows. Not only are we entering a Post Truth World in which it will be increasingly difficult if not impossible to independently establish verifiable truth, but the supposed gulf between digital immigrants who were adults when digital technologies exploded, and digital natives who’ve never known anything else is seeming ever less significant. It is nothing compared to the chasm between digital natives and Generation AI — those growing up in an AI-infused noosphere permeated by invisible technology, AI , and soon enough AGI (artificial general intelligence) and ASI (artificial superinteligence).
