Quotations
Finally, human beings reproduce themselves mentally through exchanges with cultural and symbolic environments […] These relational exchanges are embedded in the traditions and institutions of a particular society in such a way that that society can reproduce itself on a cultural level, can reproduce itself in the noosphere.
1995, Ken Wilber, Sex, Ecology, Spirituality, Shambhala, page 66
[…] Therefore, high capacity nodes will experience greater latency from the rest of the noosphere, and the intelligences that inhabit them will likely be more individualistic.
