Nathan Oman on Wikipedia does not trust YOU anymore - 10:12:09
Advantageously, the article is really the best on this precious topic. I fit in with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your coming updates. Just saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the extraordinary lucidity in your writing. I will immediately...
Reggy on Future Wealth - 23:11:09
If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all.
Seb on Recycling knowledge - 21:11:09
they say we live in the era with the most information available but with the highest ignorance in society, so probably it depends how that information is processed by the minds that have access to them......
rredekopp on Is asking "What is Internet" a stupid question? - 02:10:09
Is the mini-doc available?
We certainly need to understand the power of metaphors (both text and visual) to shape our world. Even Google is concerned with the legal issues of the internet being conceived of as a 'place.' But it is a much broader issue of what is reve...
Dmitry Paranyushkin on Future of... The Scientific Way of Warfare - 01:10:09
"Swarming" – saw Berlin police doing it on the 1st of May – it's pretty amazingly effective, actually.
Russian Mafia... I think they are so decentralized because generally there's a set of rules that are especially reinforced in prisons, so even if you through ...
Dmitry Paranyushkin on Alberto Giacometti: Sings of the network society in the arts - 01:10:09
Yes, for example, this is one of the signs of the emerging "network thinking": http://thisislike.com - it's all about associative nonlinear thinking, waiting for your ideas to be entered......

Cyborg on The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology - 07:08:09
Ray Kurzweil should probably have chosen a different, more dramatic first sentence for his book. Somehow “At the age of five, I had the idea I would become an inventor” doesn’t do justice to the scope and power of his basic premise. Nor does it prepare the reader...

As always, Noels speaks clearly and consistently.
I very much appreciated his book Econoshock.
Thank You Freedomlab

Keith Macdonald on I was thinking: Will history ever return? - 10:07:09
How about Saw-Tooth theories? i.e slow rise and abrupt falls. Each iteraction represents gradual development. and then rapid decline. (Rise and fall of empires, etc). Cynics would say that each iteration believed itself to be intrinsicly better than anything that had go...
Jake on Many selves inside yourself: hyper-individualism - 26:06:09
I've ben reading alot of these commetns but alot of it is too interlectual for me to understand, is it about us having 'somebody' inside of us that represents ourselves or or true selves?...
Gerald JS Wilde on Risk - 04:06:09
"Counter-intuivity" is no valid argument against a view when it is supported by scientifiic evidence. Ever since Galileo we know that the earth revolves around the sun, not the other way around. But the erroneous illusion/intuition is so strong, that many centuries late...

For another interpretation of the "network society" and a work-in-progress using the idea of tracing networks as a way to rebuild a political project, you can see also : http://yannickrumpala.wordpress.com/category/networks-and-rhizomes/...

Björn on Debate - Future of education: Intrinsic value vs instrumental values - 15:04:09
Well, we agree, I think! And both not with Furedi... And one thing, we shouldn't overestimate ourselves as human beings ;-)
Joachim on Debate - Future of education: Intrinsic value vs instrumental values - 15:04:09
I agree with you on a large part. Still I think there is some intrinsic value in 'carrying' the knowledge yourself as a human being. I don't thing the human brain is but a processor, as well as it is not just a hard disk. To me, intuitively as I don't know a lot about h...
Björn on Debate - Future of education: Intrinsic value vs instrumental values - 10:04:09
Like Moravec said, Furedi's concept of 'knowledge' is not more then just 'information'. And information is what all kinds of devices can handle or keep better than humans. It is what we do with all the information that's important. Furedi doesn't really talk about that,...
Simon on The future of work - 11:03:09
Hee Guys,
Ik heb mijn thesis 9 jaar geleden gedaan over evolutionaire organismen. Wat hier beschreven word is de embodyment van een wereld waarin alles zo klein en beheersbaar (en daardoor zoooo enorm complex) is geworden dat je kan spreken van een globalisatie in he...
Laurie on Global Brain: The Evolution of Mass Mind from the Big Bang to the 21st Century - 25:02:09
You say McVeigh didn't bomb OK because of his religion, but rather because of his hatred towards the government. Just because "religion" and "political" are two different words doesn't mean they are two separate things! His political beliefs were fueled by his religious...
Joachim on What Potential Lays in the New Generation? - 09:02:09
Interesting examples I think. Would you thus say that the strive for more authenticity and the clearing of the veil of the industrial era - like the reconnection of our food at the market and the farmers who produce it and, that is, the animals and crops that are the ac...

by Bob Garfield (Isbn-13: 9780984065103)
What happens when the old world order collapses and the Brave New World is unprepared to replace it as an ad medium, as a news source, as a political soapbox, a channel for new episodes of Lost? Welcome to The Chaos Scenario. It's here, and Bob Garfield saw it coming. In his roles as Advertising Age editor-at-large and as co-host of NPR's On the Media, Bob Garfield long ago connected dots that many in media and marketing refused even to acknowledge. In this fascinating, terrifying, instructive and...
