Daniel Schmachtenberger’s talk about Emergence
The video is an excerpt from a lecture by Daniel Schmachtenberger, in which he explains the concept of emergence. He argues that emergence is a fundamental principle of the universe, explaining the creation of new properties and structures arising from the interaction of parts. This new quality, which transcends the properties of individual parts, embodies the essence of synergy. Schmachtenberger argues that evolution can be understood as a result of emergence, characterized by increasing order and complexity within a system. He views humanity’s capacity for abstraction as a novel form of emergence, enabling us to plan for the future and consciously participate in evolution. In conclusion, he emphasizes that we must recognize our role as part of an interconnected universe in order to build a sustainable civilization based on synergy and community rather than competition and self-interest.
