P2P and Human Evolution

For those new to P2P Theory, the basic essay I recommend is still the one at CTheory.

But the main, book-length, manuscript, is P2P and Human Evolution, which exists in various iterations which had been downloaded about 30,000 times when I checked it last time around 6 month ago.

The first, and shortest, essay version of it, was written for Integral World, the site dedicated to a critical evaluation of Ken Wilber and Integral Theory, maintained by the wonderful Frank Visser.

It is quite different from the later versions because it was written explicitely for the integral community.

Frank just wrote me that: Your P2P essay on Integral World has rocketed to the top of the charts.

He wondered if I had any explanation for this ‘sudden’ success. I haven’t, beyond the fact that there is a general increase in the interest of the ideas of the P2P Foundation.

In any case, for those interested in more, I have compiled a list of my essays that are available online in various places, and may deal with more specific subject areas, such as politics and spirituality.

You can find it here.
