Memes on classroom walls and else where, for example:

intelligence is sexy10. Low stress, stimulating environments, with certain music, color,

fragrances improves concentration and performance11. Longer term:

• Reverse engineering the brain• Applied Epigenetics and genetic engineering• Designer microbes to eat the plaque on neurons

Collective Intelligence

• It is an emergent property• from synergies among

• data/info/knowledge• software/hardware• experts and others with insight

• that continually learns from feedback• to produce (nearly) just in time knowledge for better

decisions• than these elements acting alone.
