Why Humanity is Special - de Chardin and the Birth of the Noosphere
Jump to Connections
19,143 Views • Sep 4, 2022 • Click to toggle off description
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's theory of evolution posits that with the emergence of the Noosphere (the thinking or mind sphere which transcended the Biosphere and in turn the Physiosphere) the Omega Point was now being converged upon. With the Noosphere Life has penetrated a new ceiling unlike any since the birth of life itself. Now evolution wasn't limited to chromosomes but we saw the emergence of a whole new form of evolution: acquired traits. In other words, culture is a new form of evolution but at the Noospheric level rather than the chromosomal level of the Biosphere.

Both the Noosphere and the Biosphere of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin have for their substrate what Ken Wilber later called the Physiosphere. With the secret ingredient of complexity, the inert matter of the Physiosphere became vitalised as the living Biosphere. In turn as the complexity of the Biosphere reached a new level, we see the emergence of the Noosphere and with this new emergence, a convergence has begun upon what de Chardin called the Omega Point but which could be called in today's language the Singularity (or as some have called it - the Rapture of the Nerds).

My man, I once critiqued you for not being knowledgeable enough on a certain topic. It was like half a year ago and I stil regret it and consider that I've been too harsh. I just want to say that I truly appreciate the work you're doing on this channel. The world feels less lonely when you know you aren't alone on your path towards Sophia. Thanks you for introducing me to de Chardin!

Wow what an incredible episode. I knew nothing of this ‘stuff’ or the man behind this work. Your knowledge is incredible James. Huge breadth of information & once again very thought provoking. Brilliant stuff!

I came across the concept of noosphere through Vernadski instead of Chardin, and one led me to the other. It was probably the most important concept I read in college. It changed my look on things completely. We should talk so much more about it.

This is a lot to take in. Incredibly interesting. Thank you so much for talking about unusual perspectives and philosophers or scientists not so many people have heard of!

It's so great to find work of such quality as this. One thing you sparked in me is in your evocation of Tielhard's complexity, l am reminded of the other essential principle upon which complexity depends for its cohesion. Its perfect and precise opposite. Simplicity. Go well noonaut

I started learning philosophy a few months ago by reading Jung and Nietzsche. Their thinking, combined with certain aspects of my information technology studies (mainly binary), did wonders with my pre-existing views to come up with this theory and logic! I was overtaken by the concept and felt the necessity to begin discussing philosophical topics with my close friends. That has resulted in the most mentally stimulating conversations in our lives! I naturally shared this concept to them, and tested it's range of applicability, never being able to dismiss it. To now come across this video and know of de Chardin and the small scale awareness of his theory made me exhilerated! It truly is a matter that ought to be discussed more!

Is always inspiring to see this quality and thought provoking and well researched episodes! That said, could be that the noosphere is the new age profetized 4th dimension where "you don't need a physical body to exist"? With fractals you just can get pairs from anywhere haha

Thank you for this introduction. I'd had no familiarity with this philosopher. Somehow I do sense a familiarity with his thoughts. Compelling stuff.

Marvelous work. I've been anticipating this one for a while now. This is such an important and valuable idea that I think can help resolve so many of our issues today, from the death of god to a sense of meaninglessness to a lack of nuance about individual agency within cultural contexts. Unlike the physiosphere, some small part of the biosphere has an ability to actively interact with and even direct the noosphere. It's an interesting question as to whether there's some self-interested and self-perpetuating force innate to the structure of the noosphere that might step in to ensure we save ourselves as its necessary substrate or whether we need to build stronger, more robust foundations before some "singularity"-esque moment over-saturates us with memes out of our control – perhaps the birth of some near-literal collective mind-god. Fascinating stuff to think about, thanks as always!

a wonderful episode. This idea reminds me a lot of the God Emperor of Dune climax to the Dune saga. I see so much of Herbert in where we have arrived and where we are going.
