This is a note I made on Pearltrees. Ok. EmLeaders Recap Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind! Arthur Brock's Personal Web Site | Arthur Brock Flow - Eric Harris-Braun I just signed up for Edgeryders and completed my first mission, which is to “share your ryde.” This provided me with an end-of-year opportunity to think about and document where I’ve been over the past years, so I’m reposting that “mission” here: I’ll start the story of my Ryde by quoting my first blog post ever (back in 2005): A few days ago I stopped at a gas station. I decided to register for Edgeryders after reading this post of Vinay’s. There’s something that feels righteous about “being willing to face the facts,” about not being in denial about how bad the situation is. There’s that saying “A falling tree makes more noise than a growing forest.” Opening #1: In 2003 my father gave me two books to read: Interest & Inflation Free Money, by Margrit Kennedy, and The Future of Money by Bernard Leitaer. In 2004, the Schumacher Society held what I consider to be a pivotal conference called Local Currencies in the 21st Century. Opening #2: Michael Linton. Opening #4: Jean-François Noubel.
Narrative Fractals @openworld New Rules for the New Economy 1) Embrace the Swarm. As power flows away from the center, the competitive advantage belongs to those who learn how to embrace decentralized points of control. 2) Increasing Returns. As the number of connections between people and things add up, the consequences of those connections multiply out even faster, so that initial successes aren't self-limiting, but self-feeding. 3) Plentitude, Not Scarcity. As manufacturing techniques perfect the art of making copies plentiful, value is carried by abundance, rather than scarcity, inverting traditional business propositions. 4) Follow the Free. 5) Feed the Web First. 6) Let Go at the Top. 7) From Places to Spaces. 8) No Harmony, All Flux. 9) Relationship Tech. 10) Opportunities Before Efficiencies. ...disequilibrium, fragmentation, uncertainty, churn, and relativism, the anchors of meaning and value are in short supply. Because values and meaning are scarce today, technology will make our decisions for us. The future of technology is networks.
Developing Next-Gen Profiles: Collaboratory Mockup I’ve been having a lot of fun the past few weeks fleshing out our next-gen profiles for the Collaboratory. One of the things I think is critical for any sufficiently advanced social network is a way for us to actually express who we are as human beings – emotion, passion, intent, inherent gifts, and the like. The problem with Facebook and LinkedIn is they predefine the scope of what it means to be human. Either you’re this or that. This religious affiliation, this political view, this relationship status, this sex, and so forth. And that’s all fine for those who find comfort in the rigidity of those labels. But for those who wish to be untethered from that way of thinking, so that we can expand ourselves into expressing fuller human capacity, it’s a bit constraining. So we’re working on allowing people to show who they are and what they’re about from a deeper, more meaningful level. Profiles & Self-Discovery Profiles & The Future of Work Profiles & Mutual Improvement We’re real people.
