Jeremy Heimans: What new power looks like 

Wow, I went to school with Jeremy. Well done mate!

Amazing insight, thank you so much. I look forward to being part of this future.

This gives me a new insight about power but I think what Heimans said is not all executable (at least for an ordinary person, like me). I look forward to hearing more from Heimans about this old power vs new power and how to combine it effectively for the sake of our citizens.

wonderful talk!

Government tends to be slow moving and freezes things in time. I mean think about how outdated the current model of education and college is. However, much of the "old power" is still hidden from view, the only way they'll ever likely see it. Is when it starts to break down.

No one is talking about occupy wallstreet today. There is no sustained power in it. People just showed up just to say the showed up in the way people take a photo in from of the Mona Lisa to say they were there. If people are serious about activism in a political way. Maybe do their homework, know the system to change the system, then get involved in actual power structures. His definition: New power is the mass participation and peer coordination to create change and shift outcomes is not new power. It is politics in America. It's picking a side, choosing a political party(mass participation), and working toward something tangible(peer coordination). I think in American politics America's are failing to realize that the system is not broken. The system works. It is set up to force people to have to come together whether they like each other or not. It is set up so you cannot ignore or avoid one another. It is set up to be messy. It is set up to not work. It is meant to force conversations. All this without a civil war breaking out.

At first, I thought he would be talking about that "powerful" Indian guy, but suddenly it is about miscalls and power in technology. I'm not a great speaker, but I think we have to consider unity, coherence and emphasis. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

He switched 'Obama in office' form old power, old values to new power, old values... Mr. Heimans make up your mind

These revelations are really interesting, and I think new vs. old power is a great framework for classifying new ideas of democracy and power in discussions of the Internet society. I think, using this structure, that new power _must_ be the dominant power on the Internet, not the other way around as it is today. Facebook and Google must be overshadowed by networks like Wikipedia and Bitcoin. I think all we need for this in a set of social networks which are built on the values of new power, using decentralized frameworks and giving full control (and power) to the user of these services, thus distributing power on the Internet to its "citizens."

Thanks for bringing Anna Hazare, Indian anti-corruption activist in TED light :) Is power being torrentized?

Anyone taking this talk seriously should watch "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace" by Adam Curtis, especially the second episode. These ideas are not "new", they are old, they stem from ill-conceived notions of ecology (ecossystems) and when transferred to social and technological politics, dubbed as "cybernetics". These ideas always failed to create the new promised utopia. Mostly, they failed miserably through the last decades to come up with anything significant at all but the mere capability to spawn emergent phenomena like all these protests in the last decade (Occupy HK the latest).

To understand what old power new power is, please read "Animal farm" by Orwell

Heads up: You should not watch this video if you're high..

New power is where it's at.

Very thought provoking

This guy has a safe full of cherries.

Love this thank you!

I loved it! Congratulation very interesting speech.

useful talk！

بالرغم من جودة التحليل، لكنه لم يُجب عن سؤال القوة العنيفة وامتلاك السلاح والقهر، كيف يمكن للسلطة الجديدة التعامل معها.. لكني حقيقة أدرك أن القوة الجديدة سوف تؤثر على شكل السلاح وطرق استخدامه...؟

Get some tighter pants bro

Very interesting

Missed calls is a thing? Silly me. I just thought it was someone deciding that they'd called the wrong number.

Decentralized societies are not affected by corrupt individuals. The decision on the part of corrupt individuals to do corrupt things would harm their status and well-being in a decentralized society. Corruption is only rewarded in centralized societies.

I don't think that these people who clearly missed the point are stupid. They're probably, mostly intelligent. Lots of intelligent people who can't wrap their heads around something new to them.

I thought it have to be Jamie Heinemann :0

This dude created DDOS hahahaha with the fax machine.

Star Citizen

New power A.K.A. syndicalism.

great talk

Poor deluded fool. "Old power" was once upon a time "new power". New power, if it ever has any real power, will soon become corrupted and morph into something akin to "old power".

Damn, screwed up grammar in the last one.

hehe looks like me babe!

New power? I prefer super power. :/ But I guess both are just pipe dreams.

he has a cute body

*yawn

I don't like what I see here.... This sucked
