But I want more structures; grander structures!

I want big, simple, legible ways to link blog discussions together. I want: blogging megastructures!

Networked Communities

problem is

blogchain-based learning adventure

blog society requires connection, community, conversation

every blog is an island.

This post is part of Blogging Futures

What’s beyond a blog post; beyond a blogchain?

Networked Writing

how do we build in-line comments and discussion to the web?

Blogging still feels very single player.

Have a real conversation again

Funding is flowing to superficial things rather than connecting the fancy faucets to the plumbing that already exists,

open writing ecosystems, working in public, the greater blogsphere present and future…

Networked Communities How do networks form, adapt and work in the networked age?

Use brid.gy to connect your Twitter and all that if you honestly need it.

The benefit is that people will read your posts on your actual blog. This could be nice for you!

The Power of Indulging Your Weird, Offbeat ObsessionsBeing curious and obsessed can lead to interesting places

Surprisingly big breakthrough ideas come when you bridge two seemingly unconnected areas.

the work that needs to be done is not a finite list of tasks, it is a neverending stream.

Rest in motion

Happiness is pushed to some later date in the future while your present self battles with the misery of the current moment.

little idiomatic UI that lets 01:03:37 you off the cuff create property graphs and it helps to you know like so many things it helps to have a subject if you have a subject area

properly trying to do property graphs as opposed to you know something that links stickies together

there is a knack to it too and 01:02:54 just as Wiki made hypertext a little easier than the hypertext experts you know the stuff we're doing with property graphs is a little easier

they're pretty magical and if you think about it a property graph with its nodes and relations 01:02:39 feels like a little miniature Wiki

like the blogosphere the only twist we have is we say well yeah it's going to be like the blogosphere except that we can put data 01:02:25 and share data

network traffic is kind of going from a broadcaster out to the audience

trying to move away from that idea of actually even having files

there's a network

croquet is interesting because uh there's no server

quirk to to to stand away from uh making money

create a coinbase account or something you know because then I at least feel comfortable that they're not going to lose all their funds

problem of onboarded people into web 3 is so huge

back to uh to uh Engelbert and should the interface be easy or is it okay if the interface is hard

difficult to use until you get The Knack of it and when you get the Knack 00:33:42 of it you say oh this is pretty magical as long as you've put in all the work that I just put in to learn it

relations are sort of sort of assumed you know well no no you have to name them and put them in to be 00:33:28 able to make a statement in graph

figuring that out but the the premise is is it's a chat program but instead of chatting in statements in English 00:33:03 you chat in little networks of nodes and relations as a system thinker would expect I guess

S3 thing kind of 00:31:18 equivalents which is becoming the web version of memory

e stepping out of the wiki a

super 00:30:13 Collider and I said well man that's a great name let's call it the semiconducting super collaborator

let's think about how it really ought to be and we had trouble articulating that

we've in the context of Wiki we've came 00:29:10 came to realize that this property graph stuff's pretty powerful

quirkier side of things things that might work because in the programming there's something powerful there and yet to be explored

collaborative graph too

Allen K was one of those and I was kind of a subscriber 00:26:54 okay to his work

put up with the Arcane nature of the programming

could only sell crippled things to the population and there might be something to that

learn to use it and learning to use

let's just do this because it'll 00:21:19 work

Roger Bates was one and and uh he came to tektronics

won't even say nice job he'll just say oh and you can do this and this and this and this and come up with more 00:19:45 ideas so it's not very satisfying

skeptical you know it sounded pretty blue sky

Doug Engelbert I didn't sort of get to that I had met him yeah you know of him 00:18:22 even even when he was starting the internet

1993 vintage GPS

get in the room and do the work

not how we can go about building this collective intelligence but why

create a registry for a geospatial data um and so for instance like if you're looking at a lot of climate projects

Perma Garden basically for ourselves and um so we we don't uh so we can you know use that as our as our story

other resources Beyond money

indigenomics

web3 without uh you know you know by encrypting certain pieces of data and having people you know allowing people to ask questions about you know whether they can you know use it for a certain 00:11:43 data se

don't really want all of this data to be open

accruing trust to the trustworthy without having any kind of authoritative hand on it

everyone just expresses what they think

canonical debate like as you've seen kyalo

common trust is the vector through which information can spread we don't necessarily have to agree on all of the facts about everything if we can agree on who to trust to do a good enough job

shows automatically all the top reasons for 00:08:00 and against

idea Market also establishes a Knowledge Graph so that there are inferential links between the points of uh knowledge or th

citation system

little social network called idea market

Scuttlebutt glossary

In the context of p2p, uxer makes more sense, cuz we're flip the paradigm of ownership, and should be designing from the first person. IMHO the ultimate goal is for people to not only "own" their "experience", but design their own applications; for the perfect world, the latter predicates the former; to which ends, anarchitecture.

uxer is a sort of mashup shorthand for the user-experienceR, which is not the "experience" as perceived by others (UX) but the person who is getting treated... the uxer is the "UX Designer"

dex short for "decentralized"

A user's stream of signed messages. Also called a log.

How the Internet was Stolen

interoperability is a smart policy regulation could force Facebook Uber Twitter and so on to a live third-party applications to plug into them

Deep contradiction of our age the 02:05:13 sociologist Sigmund Bauman wrote in 1999 is the yawning gap between the right of self-assertion and the capacity to control the social settings which render 02:05:24 such self-assertion feasible

assembling a constellation of Alternatives that can lay claim to the space they currently 02:06:43 occupy Because unless the platforms we use every day are transparent Democratic can open then it's not us controlling our 02:06:55 own social settings

imperative instead that we engage in more experiments in Alternatives and the politics that supports those 02:06:31 experiments

if you've ever used Microsoft Word alternative Libra office it can open and save dot doc files Microsoft file 01:57:15 formats

Senator Mark Warner suggests legislation that would force platforms with revenues over 100 million dollars to comply with portability rules

interoperability would mean that you could use an alternative to Facebook that still works with Facebook allowing you to keep access to your social network to post to Facebook or Instagram 02:04:39 or Twitter while using new platforms at the same time so that they had to interact with one another and you could support a space for experiments in new ways of running platforms

interoperability May hold the key to how to challenge big Tech monopolies

incumbents who are protected by amongst other things what's been described as their Network effect the more people that use a platform like Facebook the bigger they become and the more valuable 02:01:15 they are to use this means there's a cost to leaving Twitter to join Mastodon because everyone you want to follow is on Twitter

screws plugs banking systems and internet protocols interoperability ensures in part that dominant corporations can't dominate the 01:57:28 market further by forcing their own interfaces and squeezing out competitors

interoperability is an important feature of everyday life that often goes unnoticed and unappreciated simple examples are Railways and airports that have to share the same track gauge or 01:57:02 signaling or air traffic control protocols

forced to adopt interoperability the opening of their apis so that third-party software 01:54:53 could more easily interact with the windows ecosystem

flock to Earth sets pseudo substitutes

cultivation of wisdom and and meaning and those two are inherently bound together

most of the meaning making is not taking place at the propositional level

misunderstood Transcendence as a 00:29:51 maximization process

stop thinking of the sacred as completion and perfection

reconfigure 00:28:47 Transcendence and Transcendence is only meaningful if you have some sense of sacredness where I take sacredness to mean I've encountered something more real the really real

use 00:25:23 argumentation but it has to be argumentation that is situated in and exemplifies an entire way of life that is attractive to people

Cross purpose

not at the level of propositional claims and arguments they were at the level of my world view is better than your world view

create a meta curriculum

communities are spontaneously emerging and putting together these ecology practices
