Joint Idea is a decentralized hybrid canvas for our most precious energies - our unique ideas - to join and blossom into regenerative realities.
Our mission is to shape whole new realities that unify our highest technology - our exponential humanity - harmoniously with new exponential technologies and business models that are in service to our future. How can we create regenerative ways of thriving that are in union with our life source, Earth? How can we pool our ideas, resources, and energies to move closer towards utopia?
What is your Joint Idea? What must we do together that you can’t do alone?
Feeling our way to re-thinking the future
It is amazing that the internet has allowed us to be together throughout the pandemic. To connect, to share, and to sustain our humanity. We would not be here in this space today without it.
Yet, how much has it taken over our lives? What is it? Who is it serving? How do we even measure that?
Statistically, we have all turned into cyborgs already. Most of our waking hours are spent online, and 24 hours is no longer enough for all the content of our lives.
And what about human value and values? We don’t call people anymore. We WhatsApp them to see if they can Zoom next week. Our handwriting has been replaced with swipes and gestures. Is that truly the way it should be?
And while we’re not visiting each other in person, our ‘digital’ houses are becoming even more of a mess. All those times we hit ‘accept’ and ‘agree’ without thinking too much about it - probably hundreds of times or more - are adding up in data storage centers that are consuming way more electricity and energy than you might think. It is not sustainable, and it was not built to last.
We Need A Human > Tech Reset
The world’s largest economies are now all technological companies.
They own our data. Their algorithms easily predict our behavior. They serve us what they think we want, as long as it serves them. We have become the product. And we still don’t really understand what that means. Other than that it doesn’t feel right. We need to look at this.
Have you watched //the social dilemma yet?
What would a technological reset look like?
As we evolve in other areas of our lives, we have to reset our relationship with technology - to make sure we understand it, trust it, and nurture it so that we can focus our attention not on ads and gimmicks, but on us being more us. By you being more you. More unified. More complete. More human. How do we do this? Together.
Perception = Reality
For the past decade, we’ve scattered our personal information and content all across the internet, signed up for countless apps and platforms we no longer use, and not really cared too much about it. Now, we are at the mercy of centralized tech giants that profit from our data and turn us into products.
Why is this important?
If perception is reality and perception comes from our attention, we are all now serving companies that are now amongst the most powerful forces on earth. They control our reality - and we have encouraged it to happen.
If we believe that the technological web around is is real, valuable, and possibly even a life line to a better future for us and future generations, then it is time for us to all take it more seriously. Things are heating up.
Change your perspective = change your reality
The new normal can be regenerative, if we we can blend the best of humanity with a new approach to technology that is more life-affirming.
No one is as smart of all of us together. We have all sensed how powerful AI and machine learning are. What we need to explore is how all of our deeper humanity - our exponential humanity - can align in a natural human algorithm capable of creating more beautiful realities that come from within each of us.
Joint Idea has been working quietly in the background since 2015 experimenting with regenerative ways of working, connecting, and designing our lives that have brought us here today. We still do not have the words to fully express ourselves. They do not exist yet. But terms like decentralization, peer to peer, human to human, heart to heart, 528 hz, beauty, courage, love, curiosity, frequency, alignment, altruism, compassion, service and aliveness are some of words and emotions that drive what we are doing.
We are working on decentralized, peer to peer, heart to heart, projects, applications, services, and technologies that eliminate waste, improve flow, allow us to bring more of our unfulfilled intentions, words and emotions into our reality. Blockchain, AI, and other exponential technologies are tools that enable us to do more and reach farther than ever before. But, they must still be imagined and designed from the right place to come to life. Our collective mission as a global community is to do this, together, from the heart in service to our exponential humanity.
Some examples of our ‘why’. . .
This session was held at Katapult Future Festival 2020, discussing how and why the internet is broken and why it is up to us - all of us - to fix it. Featuring Threefold co-founders Kristof De Spiegleer & Isabelle Peeters, and Joint Idea’s co-founders Eda Carmikli & Markus Lehto.
In this lively discussion, we were joined by Chris Messina, inventor of the hashtag, Lawrence Bloom, Secretary General of Be Earth Foundation, Ida Faldbakken, co-founder Katapult Future Fest, and may members of our working groups from Threefold and Joint Idea.
“I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring”
If you are ready to become a co-creator of an uplifted reality, join us in live discussions, experiments, masterminds, and real project groups already driving our own human > digital reset. Our destination is currently unknown. But, we do know that this can’t be it - and that we are way more together than alone.
To join in, we ask you come as your egoless full self, and be ready to reset and regenerate the relationship between your human and digital self. If we are going all be cyborgs anyway, it is up to us to regain more control over our destiny. We can drop our fear of the unknown if we look at it like an adventure. Ready to go?
