The #nothingnew hashtag is a simple #KISS project of rejecting the common sense neoliberalism and postmodernism of the last 40 years to reboot social change/challenge from the original modernist path to then build #somethingnew The #geekproblem hashtag is a complex view of the other hashtags. In this, we need to take the “problem” out of…
technologies job is to hold the trust in place
Think that might be a good #openweb slogan, “technologies job is to hold the trust in place” #OGB Decisions only count if a wide number of people engaged in them, because in the end it’s this group that will “enforce” the consensus. So one power mad nutter (quick, take the crown off) has little power…
Some one asked indieweb vs Fediverse
The indieweb is strongly individualism, where the Fediverse is more community based, though says itās individualism to get #mainstreaming outreach (white lie). indieweb is a good fit for capitalism Fediverse is (as of now) a bad fit for capitalism So it depends on your (mostly unspoken) view on politics. In this they use overlapping tech…
Thinking about the social tech mess
#fashernista and the media are always a problem that is hard to do anything about. They shift the focus from the grassroots to themselves and tell #mainstreaming stories because this is what the media wants to hear. The undercurrents that is the story drafts back into the flow and nothing is understood, no change or…
An activist history of the web
The “better” #closedweb (ISP intranets) was “surprisingly” destroyed by the “inferer” #openweb, which then exploded in use to spread everywhere. The #mainstreaming thinking then tried and failed to recapture this #4opens project for ten years as it takes up global space, and was a real challenge change, that the “common sense” said should not exist.…
Doing the same thing in the same context and expecting different results is one of the clinical definitions of insanity
Q. Doing the same thing in the same context and expecting different results is one of the clinical definitions of insanity. š A. That is EXACTLY the #mainstreaming problem the #hashtages are about, well said. If it’s not different, it’s not working #nothingnew WE have solved this problem in the past but have not had…
Talking about storys and #stupidindividualism
Q. One difficulty that I personally have with your communication methods is your use of hashtags that convey meaning to the people that already know and use them, but are opaque to someone who doesn’t know what they mean. You end up being only able to communicate with people within your own filter bubble. What…
People BLOCKING the needed process, or more normally simply ignore it.
If you keep doing the same thing, there will be the same outcome. Different world views have different process and sometimes different outcomes. All the #OMN projects are based on a different world view that we know can work to build “society” with scaling limitations and combining this with using #openweb tech that we know…
#mainstreaming is obviously a #deathcult we do need to keep saying this
#mainstreaming is obviously a #deathcult we do need to keep saying this. There are well document alt’s that I push with every use of the hashtags #OGB #OMN #4opens etc. The problem we way too often face is people wanking liberal “common sense” in the era of the #deathcult so need to make this point…
Focus on things we don’t actually know are going to fail
We need non #deathcult #mainstreaming there are meany ideas to make this happen but no agreement on which one to take š I am into grassroots as have long expirence of this working at local levels and federation gives us an option to try this for larger groups, that is worth trying #OGB The problem…
A sordid story of fear and punishment, and a path to walk away from this
āIt is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness.ā People are shaped by the ādominant social thinkingā this should not be a radical thing to say as its obverses. People survive by deigning this, blinded to this obverse thinking. To stay blind,…
