Dynamic Intelligence Theory
A Neurobiological Framework
for Human-Environment Coevolution
To see the whole, or not to be whole
Humanity faces unprecedented challenges that are largely created through a particular pathology of our cognitive-emotional capacity. We lost the capacity to see wholes, both of the world in which live and of our internal mental and emotional world. These challenges can never be properly addressed by that same dysfunctional cognitive-emotional capacity.
Dynamic Intelligence Theory provides the neurobiological framework for the WHAT and HOW of our conscious cognitive-emotional evolution. An insight that potentially offers our species' the only path to survival and flourishing in an era of climate crisis, democratic collapse, and technological disruption.
“The protracted negotiation process required for governance efforts is necessarily embedded in the biology of affect, knowledge, reasoning, and decision making. Humans are inevitably caught inside the machinery of affect and its accommodations with reason. There is no exit from that condition.”
Antonio Damasio
‘Our talent for division, for seeing the parts, is of staggering importance – second only to our capacity to transcend it, in order to see the whole’
Iain McGilchrist
Each human being is bred with a unique set of potentials that yearn to be fulfilled as surely as the acorn yearns to become the oak within it.
