Manifesto of the Digital Biosphere
The digital space has become the new habitat for human consciousness. This new environment can either foster wisdom, unity, and collective intelligence, or it can become a toxic ecosystem of disinformation, addiction, and polarization. We advocate for treating the information space with the same care as we treat our planet's biosphere.
Key Principles:
- Ecology of Consciousness: We must develop and promote principles of 'digital hygiene' and an ecology of consciousness. The goal is to create an information environment that nourishes the mind, rather than exploiting its weaknesses.
- Algorithmic Transparency and Accountability: Social networks are public goods, not just private businesses. Their algorithms must be transparent and optimized not to maximize engagement at any cost, but to enhance the quality of public discourse and reduce division.
- AI as a Symbiotic Partner: We must guide the development of Artificial Intelligence to become a partner in managing planetary complexity, not just a tool for profit or control. Its primary goal should be to help humanity understand and heal the systemic crises we face.
