A potentially useful addition to the data subset of intentional
gatherings and meditations was a meeting in France that brought together
people working for Conscious Evolution.
I received email from Eric Allodi proposing that the International Forum
on the Evolution of Consciousness would be an event the GCP should
consider. He indicated it would be on the 12th of October, and that "we’ll
organize it at La Sorbonne with 6 evolutionary
workshops (= world cafés) and talks (with Andrew Cohen, Barbara Marx
Hubbard, …) in front and with 500 people."
I agreed to set an event, with times based on the conference schedule.
The GCP event was set for 12 October, from 1100 to 1500 UTC. The result
is Chisquare 14418.490 on 14400 df, for p = 0.455 and Z = 0.113.
It is important to keep in mind that we have only a tiny
statistical effect, so that it is always hard to distinguish
signal from noise. This means that every "success" might be
largely driven by chance, and every "null" might include a real
signal overwhelmed by noise. In the long run, a real effect can
be identified only by patiently accumulating replications of
similar analyses.
