On the Intelligent Consortium

Reflections and Critique on Traditional Commercial Organizational Forms

Before proceeding with this section, I must clarify one point: in the chapter “Organizational Settings of Intelligenism,” I described the characteristics and limitations of cybernetic organizations (traditional organizations). This does not mean I deny the value of cybernetic organizations. These organizations will likely remain the dominant form of human organization in the foreseeable future. The Intelligent Consortium (connectionist organization) I propose cannot fully replace cybernetic organizations; at best, it serves as a supplement to the types of human social organizations, providing individuals who need to build organizations with a new option or tool. Moreover, I cannot make truth claims about this bottom-up connectionist concept; everything must be left to future practitioners to evaluate and continuously adjust the social positioning of this organizational type in a bottom-up manner. Considering that connectionist organizations may be a novel concept, the visions and construction plans I propose are merely a starting point, not absolute truths, nor the final form of the Intelligent Consortium. As stated in the chapter “The Philosophical Foundation of Intelligenism,” we need to assess the theoretical adaptability of this theory and its corresponding plans based on practice and individual environments.
