Swimming in the Noosphere

The nature of human existence is shifting abruptly. Our recognition of digital natives, which was so widely touted in the early 2000’s, has turned out to be but prelude to the growing realization that we are now wading into an unfathomable noospheric pool of AI-centered information flows. Not only are we entering a Post Truth World in which it will be increasingly difficult if not impossible to independently establish verifiable truth, but the supposed gulf between digital immigrants who were adults when digital technologies exploded, and digital natives who’ve never known anything else is seeming ever less significant. It is nothing compared to the chasm between digital natives and Generation AI — those growing up in an AI-infused noosphere permeated by invisible technology, AI , and soon enough AGI (artificial general intelligence) and ASI (artificial superinteligence).

Wonder and Awe in the Noosphere

The noosphere is a level of thinking transcending individuals and their local, self-centered perspective. The emotions of awe and wonder about the vastness of the universe can open their minds towards such a broader, transcendent consciousness.

Clément Vidal's Presentation:

The Noosphere Narrative: Bridging the Anthropocene, Gaia and the Technological Singularity for Planetary Progress

Narratives for our global future are dominated by the Anthropocene, the Gaia hypothesis, or the technological singularity. However, these narratives paint a biased picture and fail to offer a consistent and hopeful vision for our future. We argue that the noosphere can offer a synthesis of these narratives, and introduce new concepts to this end. A key idea of the Anthropocene is the great acceleration, creating destructive and out-of-control dynamics, that we propose to counter with a great regulation to stabilize Earth systems. A central insight of the Gaia hypothesis is the discovery of feedback loops between the geosphere and the biosphere. We argue that feedback from humans and the noosphere should be included into this picture, forming a broader “Anthropogaia”. The technological singularity advocates often have a blind faith in the salvatory potential of technology. We argue that this potential should serve more a planetary vision, and less transhumanist themes and hopes. The noosphere can also be framed as the first planetary major evolutionary transition, and usefully described with living systems theory to identify and tackle global challenges. In sum, we argue that the noosphere is a unique vision and narrative that invites systemic action to tackle global challenges, while providing a positive and consistent evolutionary outlook into the future.

Bruno Gérard's Presentation:

Synergy, Sustainability, and African Agriculture

African agriculture stands at a critical juncture, shaped by dynamic drivers of change including rapid urbanization, demographic growth, and climate pressures. While agriculture remains the backbone of livelihoods for millions, its low-input, subsistence-based systems are increasingly unsustainable. These challenges are exacerbated by resource constraints, erratic rainfall, and degraded soils, which hinder productivity and resilience. The need for transformation has never been greater​.


Opportunities lie in adopting sustainable intensification approaches that enhance productivity without degrading natural resources. Digital tools, mechanization, and innovations in plant genetics offer practical solutions to close yield gaps and improve resource efficiency. However, these require a robust enabling environment, including improved market systems, access to credit, and secure land tenure. Moreover, strategic investment in higher education is essential to equip the next generation of agricultural leaders and researchers with the skills to innovate and adapt to the continent’s unique challenges​.


By leveraging transformative opportunities while addressing entrenched barriers, African agriculture
can transition from subsistence to sustainability. This transformation must prioritize integrated research and development, policy alignment, and cross-sector collaboration to meet growing food demands and enhance livelihoods. With bold and coordinated efforts, the continent can achieve resilient, inclusive, and sustainable food systems, contributing to long-term economic growth and environmental stewardship.​

In this thoughtful presentation, Boris Shoshitaishvili’s N2 2024 explores the evolution of the noosphere concept from its origins with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Vladimir Vernadsky to its relevance in today’s world.

He examines how their hopeful vision of planetary unity and progress contrasts with the complex realities of the 21st century, including climate change, disinformation, and societal polarization. Boris highlights the need to rethink the noosphere’s narratives, advocating for a pluralistic approach that acknowledges global inequalities and opens up diverse pathways for the future. Through examples from philosophy, history, and contemporary theory, he reimagines the noosphere as a contested and dynamic space for political and ecological action.

Boris Shoshitaishvili's presentation:

The Hemispheric Nous: Making Global Distinctions against the Backdrop of the Noosphere

The noosphere is, in part, the proposition that human affect, reason, and technology interact on a planetary scale to form a single sphere encompassing all of Earth: a sphere of nous, or shared mind. The concept implies spatial continuity, wholeness, coverage, and participation-a sphere being the geometrical figure whose every surface point is equidistant from its center. It suggests that each human being should have a comparable opportunity to shape this shared domain. Given these themes, pairing the noosphere with the term “Global South” is an important provocation. Among other associations, “Global South” focuses attention on inequities in the human world: between a set of communities located (mostly) in the southern hemisphere and another (mainly) in the northern hemisphere. This loosely geographical demarcation of South and North is a successor framework to the earlier system that divided the world into “developing” and “developed”. That binary itself followed the Cold War-era tripartite division of human communities into a “first”, “second”, and unaligned “third” world. In this talk, I consider how this history of attempts to represent sociopolitical and economic divisions in the human world exists in tension with the singular “sphericity” typically assumed in discussion of the noosphere. If the noosphere is an aspirational planetary vision, then injustices and inequities separating human communities are planetary fissures-divisions in planetary nous. I argue that to fully take account of these fissures requires rethinking nous in a different direction from Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Vladimir Vernadksy's early theories of the noosphere.
