5. CARE--Nurturance. When this system is aroused, an animal has strong impulses to tenderly take care of another. It is the source of our human emotion of love. This primary emotion is generated in the anterior cingulate and is fueled by the neurotransmitters oxytocin, prolactin, and opioids. 6.

David de Ugarte: “Swarming is the conflict mode in the network society,the way in which power is controlled in the new world,and at the same time the way in which the new worldachieves the translation of the virtual into the material.How can action be thus organised in a distributednetwork world? How can civil swarming be achieved? Firstly, by givi...
How to Swarm
Jeff Vail at http://www.jeffvail.net/2005/01/swarming-open-source-warfare-and-black.html Swarming depends on a few very simple principles: achieve them, and it will succeed, but deny these principles to a swarming force and it will be defeated: 1. Elusiveness, in the form of mobility or concealment 2. Standoff Firepower, relative to the opposing force 3. Situational awareness of the local environment, relative to the opposing force(http://www.jeffvail.net/2005/01/swarming-open-source-warfare-...
On the influence of Deleuze and Guattari
Excerpted from http://www.metamute.org/?q=en/node/8192 It refers to the Israeli tactics mentioned below. “Naveh, a retired Brigadier-General, directs the Operational Theory Research Institute, which trains staff officers from the IDF and other militaries in ‘operational theory’ – defined in military jargon as somewhere between strategy and tactics. He summed up the mission of his institute, which was founded in 1996: ‘We are like the Jesuit Order. We attempt to teach and train soldiers to thi...
Swarming is not enough
An essay by Brian Holmes, which argues that swarming is not enough to explain self-organized emergent human behaviours, and that a set of additional factors are needed: URL = http://multitudes.samizdat.net/Network-swarm-microstructure.html 1 - The Necessity of a Shared Horizon "I am beginning to think that there are two fundamental factors that help to explain the consistency of self-organized human activity. The first is the existence of a shared horizon - aesthetic, ethical, philosophical,...
Military Swarming
"Swarming occurs when the dispersed units of a network of small (and perhaps some large) forces converge on a target from multiple directions. The overall aim is sustainable pulsing—swarm networks must be able to coalesce rapidly and stealthily on a target, then dissever and redisperse, immediately ready to recombine for a new pulse."(Arquila and Ronfeldt cited in http://multitudes.samizdat.net/Network-swarm-microstructure.html) "Swarming is a concept that owes its existence not just to Howar...

That, in my view, is the new superpower in the making — the rise of a new pattern of collective action that operates from an awareness of the whole: Awareness-Based Collective action (ABC). It’s a pattern of action that is familiar to most of us — for example, when we face disruptive challenges in our families or communities.
While temporality comprises present, past and future, tempiternity represents “the crystallization of this very moment without ulterior distensions”. It is neither eternity nor temporality. “Reality is not exhausted in temporality: it is not temporal now and then eternal later, but rather tempiternal” (Culto y secularización).
In fact, the moment we find ourselves in is somewhat familiar. In a deep sense, we have been here before. In fact, every time that our most distant ancestors faced a catastrophe of enough peril to force them to leave the security of home to venture through the hostile wilderness in search of a new place, we, humans, had to navigate this kind of transition.
Once in an era, a book comes along that changes the way we think about ourselves, our culture, and our future. Brilliant, radical, and extraordinary in its range, The Axemakers Gift poses the right questions at a critical moment, and begins to find the right answers. It offers a sophisticated and original way to recapture hope for the future."
The classic definition of power – associated with the theorist Robert Dahl – is ‘the ability for A to get B to do something that B would not otherwise have done’. Counterpower turns that notion of power on its head. Counterpower is the ability of B to remove the power of A. * You argue that Counterpower is key to the success of movements.
