Resonance Section Reading Group (EN)

We are pleased to announce the opening of a new  Resonance Section and it's  Reading Group is a regular event. 
The MIND Foundation has an overarching socio-philosophical project for society 
as a whole, called ‘Bewussteinskultur’ (Culture of Consciousness). 
 
Bewusstseinskultur  consists  of  three  key  elements:  an  ethical  attitude toward 
one's  mental  states,  the  systematic  cultivation  of  valuable  states,  and 
enculturation, integrating these states into society (Thomas Metzinger).

The  Resonance  Section  can  be  understood  as  a  mix  of  a  think  tank, 
hackerspace,  and  connection  hub  of  Bewusstseinskultur.  Using  ‘Resonance’ 
(Hartmut  Rosa)  as  the  umbrella  term  and  underlying  principle  of  meaningful 
interactions  of  people  with  one  another  and  the  world,  we  explore  theories, 
evidence, and practices that help scale the human soul's flourishing.
 
The  Reading  group  starts  with  the  book  ‘Plurality:  The  Future  of  Collaborative
Technology  and  Democracy’  (Glen  Weyl,  Audrey  Tang,  and  the  Plurality 
Community). One of our core ideas is that ‘Plurality’ can be considered a form of 
‘Systemic Resonance’.  The  pristine  and  good  are  often  found  in  the  realm  between  interconnected, 
complementary dual principles, such as Logos and Eros, Chaos and Order, or 
Yin and Yang.  Bewusstseinskultur  and  Plurality  may  have  a  similar  relationship. 
Bewusstseinskultur mainly focuses on sharing individual phenomenal subjective 
experience.  Plurality  mainly  focuses  on  the structure of collaboration systems 
that, in turn, are composed of individual elements and their interactions.  
Accordingly,  the  individual  and  systemic  are  interdependent,  offering  a  rich 
potential to learn from and resonate with each other. 
The philosophy and practices of the Plurality movement offer possibilities to scale 
a Bewusstseinskultur. In turn, the Bewusstseinskultur offers practices to foster 
the  cultivation  of  benevolence  (e.g.,  the  principle  of  charity)  among  actors of 
Plurality.   In  line  with  these  ideas,  this  reading  group  could  also  be  called  a  holistic 
hackerspace – where Resonance bridges Bewusstseinskultur and Plurality.  When  reading  the  book,  we  will  use  existing  Plurality  tools  and  ideas  to 
brainstorm and develop new ones to improve the group as a resonance space 
and create tools for others.  

The first meeting will take place on March 1 (3 pm - 6 pm) at Holzigen Humpen, Spreelunke (former bakery) at Holzmarkt (the area that includes Kater Blau), Holzmarktstrasse 25, 10243 Berlin-Friedrichshain. Language - English.
