The Human Mind: An Homage (or Love Letter)

This talk traces the remarkable journey of our species' most distinctive asset: our capacity for complex thought and self-awareness. The human mind has evolved as an instrument of possibility through courage, creativity, reasoning, and optimism—the traits that form cornerstones of our species' success. These traits have empowered humans to transcend biological limitations, overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges, and actively shape our individual and collective destiny. From the first stone tools to modern artificial intelligence, from cave paintings to quantum physics, we see how the human mind's capacity for innovation and abstract thought has consistently propelled us toward a noösphere. Yet, as AI becomes increasingly intertwined with cognitive processes, can we distinguish between our innate human mind and AI-influenced thinking? And more crucially, could AI erode what makes our minds uniquely human or significantly evolve our minds beyond what we can conceptualize today?

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.

N2 is an international, interdisciplinary conference bringing together leading scientists, scholars from across the disciplines, thought leaders, creative artists, and all those who are interested in the meaning and possibility of the noosphere for our collective future.

In this compelling presentation, Montassir Sakhi revisits Teilhard de Chardin’s concept of the noosphere through the lens of the Global South. He explores the tensions between universalism, colonial legacies, and contemporary inequalities, emphasizing the urgent need to address borderization and systemic division. By integrating critical perspectives, Sakhi challenges us to envision a truly unified human spirit grounded in justice and inclusion.

Montassir Sakhi's presentation:

"Raison d’État" and the collective conscience: thinking about borders from the perspective of the noosphere

How can the theories and concepts developed in the noosphere paradigm help us to rethink the tragedy that is currently taking place around the closing of the borders of the global North? More precisely, how can global concepts that are based on the idea of humanist and universalist reason help us today to question border policies that are based on repressive measures?

This talk analyses how concepts such as "the new man" (Fanon, 1961), "oceanic feeling" (Freud, 1930) and “collective consciousness” (de Chardin, 1955) are challenged by the new "Raison d'État" (Foucault, 1978) that has emerged since the birth of modernity. The aim is to see how this Raison is reinvented in post-colonial times through the phenomenon of the border and its central mechanisms (visas, detention centres, expulsions, etc.). In the work of the three thinkers mentioned above, and in an approach that could be called "revolutionary noosphere", the aim is then to rediscover an awareness of and an overcoming of public policies that are both national and imperial, based on the practice of borderisation. This talk will provide an opportunity to draw on ethnographic research currently being carried out in Morocco with families and groups at risk of disappearance in Europe's borderlands, mainly the Mediteranean Sea. Their experiences will be used to describe both the repression of Europe's borders and the solidarity forged in collective struggles. This talk will show how these solidarities today constitute spaces that can be compared to the "collective consciousness" to which the noosphere invites us.

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.
