Hyperconnected
Over 60,000 years we had the recipe of humanity, but it took us a long time to get the social recipe in place. It overflowed into civilization.
sapient paradox: we haven't changed in 60,000 yrs, but we only built civ starting 10,000 years ago
If we've had the tool kit for 60k years, what has changed? Hardware only. Now we've developed the cultural software
Mentions Jared Diamonds book "Guns, germs and steel".
In one decade, we went to 1/2 the planet never making a phone call, to 1/2 the planet to owning a mobile phone! Wow!
And we have organizations that are ensuring that even the most desperate people will have a mobile phone.
The mobile phone releases socialability that was not available to those without it. It makes people hyper connected.
But it takes awhile for usability to happen. There is a lag behind the invention, and the ubiquitous use of technology.
Human landscape of social culture is being transformed exponentially, now that the reservoirs are overflowing w/scientia
50K years of cultural transformation are going to be compressed into about 20."
Humans are built do observe and replicate behavior, despite the fact that chimps out gun us on cognitive behavior.
If anyone of us observes a successful behavior, we copy them. And it becomes part of the new global behaviorial kit. It produces hypermenises.
n a hyperconnected environment, hypermimisis results - any action or words can be distributed globally
Fluid, flexible, mobile, pervasive and inexorable. Every law that is designed to construe and limit this, has failed.
altruism trumps the virtus of selfishness.
loud applause when Pesce references the blogosphere's role in bringing down Atty Gen Alberto Gonzales
The more something is shared, the more valuable it becomes. Wikipedia is of the mob, for the mob, by the mob.
we are being asked to believe that hyperconnectivity will be embraced by politicians and campaigns..
Sharing makes the unpleasant endurable. Sharing is also the threat. A photo snapped on his mobile is instantly available. politics will be different. bullshit. don't believe a word of it. it's clapping for tinkerbell.
Amateur photography does not bring down the republic!
Hyperconnectivity begets hypermimesis begets hyperenergized.
The future looks nothing like democracy because democracy is b
Never understimate a small group of individuals who are committed to change the world. We merely lack the lever to effectively move the world.
