Late last April, Lynn Davenport and I recorded a conversation unpacking the visit Evan Baehr, managing partner and social impact investor with Learn Capital, made to the Vatican in the fall of 2022 for the Humanity 2.0 conference hosted in partnership with Harvard University. I think it is useful to consider Humanity 2.0 as an extension of the eugenics (optimization) movement that became aligned with the Human Potential Movement in the 1970s and is now merging with quantified-self “wellness management” and alt-health biohacking.
The social science division of the Catholic Church appears to be totally onboard with the idea of aligning big data impact investing with preventative care (cue Bobby’s “chronic health” epidemic plans) using their far-reaching health system infrastructure. You can explore overlaps between Social Finance’s Ronald Cohen and Rome here, here, here, and here. In particular, note this post on the role of Providence Health, a Catholic Health System, in the early days of Covid.

We need to understand that networked biology and social gaming will be at the core of light-based, post-Moore’s law computing. Such a system will combine non-traditional interfaces, cyber-physical systems (including nanotechnology and frequency transmission), and spatial computing. In such a system our participation, through the perpetual signaling of our “choices,” will dynamically reshape the “game,” though we may not ever truly understand what the ultimate goal of the game is due to the deployment of sophisticated “knowledge management” techniques.
In my opinion, digital education linked to biometric monitoring is an essential part of a plan that aims to harness embodied group consciousness for collective problem-solving and/or pattern identification, possibly within the context of an abstracted mathematical / metaphysical spacetime continuum the general public cannot readily comprehend.
Networked consciousness, De Chardin’s noosphere, is the goal. Widespread deployment of a “free” “open” global ed-tech protocol layer will hasten the planned evolutionary trajectory using Google’s Lamarckian “selfish ledgers.” Social Impact will be used to justify ongoing monitoring and management of key performance indicators, ubiquitous transmission parsed by machine learning within an ever evolving computational “game of life” where Earth’s beings are remade as agents in an infinitely complex cellular automata program. That’s something surely Nicole Shanahan, an alumna of Santa Clara University (lead in the social impact deployment space) and Sergey Brin’s ex would know about, right?
Shortly after we recorded it, life got complicated, and the clips got put on the back burner. This week I pulled everything off the shelf, blew off the dust, did some editing and found the content surprisingly current with respect to the manufactured school choice wars, funded by the likes of free market options traders like Jeff Yass (see maps below) as well as the Catholic undertones of Bobby’s presidential campaign. It’s the fourth installment in a series on the roll out of Open Education Resources (aka digital playlist education with competency badges for global gig labor).
Here are links to the other installments if you want context for this one:

Learn Capital, launched by Greg Mauro on Powder Mountain outside Salt Lake City, opened their Austin campus last year and has been an influential player in promoting adoption of digital education and blockchain / web3 technology in the Lone Star state. Lynn and I have a lot more to talk about with respect to Texas, classical antiquity, and archetypal morphic fields. Check out this years Garden’s of Greece Dallas Arboretum benefit! A tribute to Athena, goddess of wisdom and the smart city?
See this post on Mondragon and the Catholic Church’s Focolare movement for a model of the freeDOM cell / intentional community collective that I suspect will be the model for the ant computer system.
You have a great way of connecting dots that allows anyone to see the big picture. Thank you for being a voice in the darkness for health, freedom, and health freedom. These ‘architects’ have had their paws in all levels of the game since the formation of the Catholic Church. You say,” digital education linked to biometric monitoring is an essential part of a plan that aims to harness embodied group consciousness for collective problem-solving and/or pattern identification.” Their elusive ways suggests the former is likely true (harness human energy), but the latter, of problem-solving, is likely not, unless by “collective problem solving” you mean GroupThink/Borg. But we already have that going on!
They want you to think you are playing the borg game to generate interesting emergent behavior.
Yep. You are always a step ahead Alison. A lonely place to be. And I thank you for it.
“Flourishing”… are they honoring Benjamin Bloom and his “cognitive domain” finally flourishing… economically speaking??
