Intelligence artificielle et conscience

Artificial Intelligence or the End of Humanity

Five Brain Stories: Interviews with Neuroscientists I went to see a documentary by JS Bron, Five Brain Stories. It was built around five interviews with materialist scientists, convinced that the brain, and it alone, produces consciousness. All it would take is to mathematically translate the brain's functioning and then ingest […]

spirale évolutive

Evolution of organizations and associated values

Every living organism evolves, develops and transforms, thus crossing increasingly expanded levels of consciousness. This is what Clare Graves proposed in the 1950s with the theory of cyclical and emergent levels of existence (in English Emergent Cyclical Levels of Existence Theory, ECLET), which Don Beck and Chris Cowan have

Power, fear and conscience: the paradox of management in international organizations

pauvreté et inégalités

Is poverty reduction always a consequence of sustainable economic growth?

Global economic growth, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, has increased rapidly since the Industrial Revolution. Yet poverty persists.

Global Crises and Paradigm Shift: What is Our Responsibility?

I continue to carry out development assistance missions, and I recently came across this article written thirteen years ago. Little has changed since then, except for an increased withdrawal of countries—and individuals—into themselves. Global poverty and inequality persist. I'm republishing it here.

Development aid and poverty in sub-Saharan Africa
