This is a piece of work that cannot be either liked, nor disliked. The imagery and music tie in together to make a perfect piece, if not for the slanderous commentary stating that not just these birds, but all birds, have no intelligence, and no consciousness to speak of. If birds were unintelligent, then they would not know to find food, to run from predators... it is not just instinct. Instinct is created by knowledge; knowledge comes from intelligence. Therefore, birds are intelligent.

Lost me at "starlings are neither intelligent nor conscious." I look at this and see classic group mind in action. Maybe it's just that groups that are connected form minds, groups of cells, groups of people (mob mentality is well documented), and groups of animals too as seen here. The point is, connected we are emergently strong.

I've seen this in my media course, it was a great piece of work, and he really hits on key parts that can be applied.

Hermoso.

This is the doings of the Government. Subliminal messages, mechanical birds. Lies!

Thanks Sugarfree and Ulgrum... I'm sorry I used the word "intelligence" as the debate around this takes away from the important message in the video. That humans can link their intelligence and perhaps achieve some kind of collective consciousness. Macrowikinomics is about humans not animals. What do you all think of the idea of humans achieving collective intelligence?

I love birds. I think this book talks about one of the most important ways we can save our planet, let alone birds. yes, birds are intellignet. he made a mistake there. I don't mind that he said that though, because I want peoplt to read this book, especially people in business and people that are married to the old way. Maybe this even gives him cred in their circles. Regarldless, lets read this book and apply it towards true ecological sustainability!!

@ulgrum Sorry, I just prefer my truth to be lie free, I haven't completely missed the point of anything.

[Ulgrum Ulgrum]

To people focused on the the "intelligence quote" about the birds, you are completely missing the point of this video!

@InvalidationX145 I think you need to open your mind a little

.Instinct plays more of a role than you care to even think about.

Thank you. I was just going to say that. He said "this is not a collective intelligence or collective consciousness, of course, because individual birds are not intelligent or conscious." The nerve! How can one look at this display and make such a foolish statement? Birds are not intelligent or conscious?! What are this guy's definitions of intelligent and conscious? What a surprising display of ignorance.
