Blue Church is a term coined by Jordan Greenhall to describe prevailing ‘power frame’ of information, digitization, and cultural production in the 21st Century. It is characterized by networks of communities, collective evolutionary algorithms, the idea that authority, control, and sovereignty should be collaborative and distributed. Its specific technologies include blockchains, strong AI, and edge computing. The underlying philosophy of Blue Church is decentralization, self-governance, collective production of meaning, and learning from the peer-to-peer network of collective intelligence. In this vision, organization and governance become decentralized and humanity is able to work together to organize and become more sophisticated and efficient.
