  • In this mesmerizing talk, Jeremy Narby shares the findings from his groundbreaking book Intelligence in Nature. He describes his quest around the globe to chronicle how leading-edge scientists are studying intelligence in nature and how nature learns. He uncovers a universal thread of highly intelligent behavior within the natural world, and asks the question: What can humanity learn from nature's economy and knowingness? Weaving together issues of animal cognition, evolutionary biology and psychology, he challenges contemporary scientific concepts and reveals a much deeper view of the nature of intelligence and of our kinship with all life.
    This presentation took place at the 2005 National Bioneers Conference and is part of the Ecological Design, Vol. 1 and Nature, Culture and Spirit, Vol. 1 Collections.
    Since 1990, Bioneers has acted as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges.
    To experience talks like this, please join us at the Bioneers National Conference each October, and regional Bioneers Resilient Community Network gatherings held nationwide throughout the year.

    The most incredible phenomenon in this universe is- The Inter-dependent Multiplicity of Nature. It's the highest intelligence-because it is the only intelligence, that truly exists. We are a fragment of this intelligence.

      yep, we burn its rainforests, pollute it's air, damage its coral, pillage its oceans, kill its creatures (live in Wuhan markets). Have you heard there's a virus which no one has ever seen before that's trying to infect humanity all over the world?

    "Science itself is evolving, moving away from a mechanical understanding of nature. The idea of a kind of intelligence active throughout nature is gaining support within the scientific community, affirming the view long held by indigenous people and shamans. Now the entire edifice of life from top to bottom seems shot through with intelligence, suggesting that the evolutionary process itself may be intelligent, and that evolution may be guided by an intelligence within as opposed to blind chance or an intelligence above.

    holy shit... as a historian I'm seeing in his research a trend in my own discipline... In which some of us are fighting for a new definition of nature which doesn't exclude humans or human creations. I loved this talk!

    But aren't the bee and plant patterns defined? This would make it pre existing information like a computer program [except much more complex] that would call more to a programmer that caused the program to execute to happen if a sun is in view and collectable to the plant. considering this as well as the program to duplicate this to future plants continuing to plant 'programming' would not be applicable to the evolutionary view. an intelligent source would have to give this to the plant so that there would be more than just a seed shell.

    So, what to eat then? No animals, no plants... Can I have some water please? NOOOOOO!!! :-) Seriously, this man has a point: why do we preserve intelligence for ourselves, while denying it for the very thing that 'produced' us: NATURE (some call it GOD, but that's merely another artificial distinction, as far as I can tell - the urge for answers seems to force us to cling to intellectual concepts, be it religious or scientific ones...).
