Gaia,
Our Living, Awakening Earth
Noosphere
- the emerging web of consciousness - The page
contains links to several articles related to the Noosphere and Teilhard
de Chardin. In these articles, the conceptualization of the Noosphere ranges
from simply "the Internet" and computing technology... to Cyberspace...
to the global mind... to next step in humankind's and the Earth's evolution.
I intend to record a few of my own perspectives as this dimension of the
Technoetic web site grows and expands. - Stephen Bate
Borgus
Ideas - here is something similiar to the Teilhardian Noosphere,
from my good friend 
The
Borg. The web site has more detail, but summarised (from emails)
he says
a "life force consiousness" similar to the Gaia theory, and also similar to the Hindu Brahman. My idea is similar, but more like a borg collective... but has a level of single consiousness that guides it... such as when a meteor wiped out most of the life on the planet, humans appeared to prevent that from happening again. This could have been a sort of defense mechanism... perhaps by creating thinking/reasoning beings it could easier survive a worldwide disaster in the future. So in effect... instead of Darwin's "survival of the fittest" being the dominating factor in evolution, changes are guided by the needs (or reactions to destructive forces) of the collective-life-force consiousness.
Psychology,
Culture, and Evolution - this site is concerned with the intersection
of psychology, culture, and evolution. There are three related sections.
The first is concerned with the evolution of the human capacity to construct
signs, e.g. the emergence of graphic images during the Late Paleolithic.
The second deals with Cultural-Historical Psychology. The third section
concerns theories and arguments about the evolution of brain, consciousness,
language, and sociality.
Mythos
& Logos - Brent Dean Robbins - dedicated to the promotion
of existential-phenomenological philosophy, psychology, and literature.

A note on the Enlightenment, Romanticism and science fiction - The heirs of Ben Franklin and those of Percy Shelley vie for the future. - | The battle of the dominante memes - the
two rival ways of thinking and understanding, the old traditional mythological
archetypal hierrachical perspective, as represented by Joseph Campbell's
"Myth of the Hero" and represented today by popular films like George Lucas'
Star Wars, and the two interesting and thought-provoking essays by science
fiction writer David
