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.

This video consolidates the one single theme that we, as humans, are faced with the capacity & enormous opportunity to connect and make changes and dynamically over come any political agenda and better yet to make the changes that we need to survive for another millennium!

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]

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

[Morpheus04200]

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.

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

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

@InvalidationX145 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.

This is similar to the 100th monkey effect. It speaks about being subconsciously connected to which ideas are shared on a large scale.

The speaker is incorrect in saying these birds are not intelligent. Starlings (and all beings) have both individual and collective intelligence. As far as humans not using their collective intelligence to accomplish things on this planet (he thinks), we do, and it is a constant process.
