Co-creation of the self

Salon ideas

  • Networked thought?
    • Question of whether internal minds are networked
    • Or are we talking about
  • Scenes? Cults? History
    • Limited downside, unlimited upside. Anarchic/bottom-up?
    • Bell Labs?
    • Ancient Athens?
    • Founding fathers?
    • Bloomsbury group?
    • Santa Fe Institute?
    • Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood?
    • Boston innovation?
    • Bill Bryson: Country parsons as leading to English industrial revolution
    • Are we at a precursor for phase transition to networked minds?
    • Homebrew computer club/Silicon Valley hippy/libertarians
    • James C. Scott: Alluvial plain (abundance of fertile crescent leads to self-organized agriculture)
    • Early internet --- why not modern internet?
      • Too top-down?
    • New local online communities/hybrid spaces (early ii)
    • Visakan Veerasamy tweeted a list of scenes he's compiling.
  • Combinatorial play
  • Question of scope
    • We don't want Roam/notion usage cases
    • We don't want Transhumanism, pro GPT-3, hypothetical
  • Examples
    • Github
    • Wikipedia
    • Linux kernel
      • Forced metacognition of git commits
      • Not speed of interaction, but number of minds
      • Pareto principle:
    • Letter writing is still the gold standard
      • Or face-to-face: universities
    • Problems of twitter
      • Microinteractions are not enough and may be part of the problem
      • Subconscious
      • Short-termism of twitter likes end up as long-term costs
      • Slower may be better. Wikipedia/github leverage low number of high quality edits. Twitter leverages high number of low quality edits. Twitter goes for quantity, Wikipedia goes for quality.
    • Danger to idealize Github/Wikipedia
