Go David!

Cultural crisis… google print… both sides are getting stupider and stupider…  speaking in our own voice is more fun and more productive than speaking through memos…  management and the tiered pyramid are close to synonymous…  largest projects in history (e.g. the Internet) were not hierarchically organized…

"What I worry about" by David W.
("mainly right now about my laptop."  he dropped it.)

a.  we’ve blown ourselves apart with the net.  How are we going to reconnect?
ii.  Social sw allows us to localize which could make us provincial and dumb… the world isn’t flat, it’s lumpy…
3.  Are we now forming a "new boys network."

David dreamed that the SSA meeting here was going to be a terrible "office meeting" but when he got here it was a rehearsal for a dance recital.  He has drawn some lessons from this dream…

David characterizes his vision as utopian, shaded by a dystopian prediction…

Conversation assumes some commonality and then it iterates on differences.

There’s an uneven distribution between lurkers and talkers.  Also jerkers and stalkers, but David didn’t say that.

    Yes. I meant Rosch, but I didn’t mean Rosch… this was a little typepad featurette that grabbed some keystrokes and stuck them in the continuation frame… I didn’t notice until your comment. David spoke of Eleanor and I had a link or two that illustrated what he was talking about, I thought… basically her work on categorization… but bottom line, there is no bottom line… my posts were execrable as the divine Ms. Stein used to say.
