Conscious Evolutionary Agentry and Evolutionary Systemic Intervention
Co-intelligent activism naturally blends into conscious evolutionary agentry where the focus is on increasing the ability of human systems to make wise choices and take wise actions as they transform themselves. Conscious evolutionary agents seek to use the life energy and situational dynamics they find in and around them -- including problems, possibilities, and crises -- to align the interests of the parts with the well-being and healthy evolution of the whole. This is distinct from more usual forms of social change and humanitarian interventions, but is a natural evolution out of them. Below are articles and links exploring this unique approach to making the world a better (and better) place -- including such topics as evolutionary identity, evolutionary activism, evolutionary philanthropy, evolutionary systems change, and more.
