      HIve mind? Collective unconscious? Zeitgeist?  Not sure there is anything alive that can see more than what we hope is a fractal piece of the "Web".

      I think what I mean is that no one sees it all. Just like no one can manage chaos. It doesn't mean that we can't grasp for a piece of the meaning, and maybe it is fractal, by getting a piece we might have access to a quick glimpse of it all. So many unknown unknowns and so many folk claiming to have figured it all out. Unless of course you give the classic Socratic cop-out of "I know that I know nothing." Yeah, that sucks.

      Boundaries are rigid, permeable, and semi-permeable in nature.  Are they such in our social constructs?  Is this just another pattern seen in a metaphor that extends just far enough to trip us up?  Well...I hope not. I kinda like it.

      There is a web, whole and entire that subsumes every living being on the planet. In every important way we already are part of the larger whole.  I am drawn once again to James Scott's idea of legibility.  Great summary of idea in one picture on this website: http://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/07/26/a-big-little-idea-called-legibility/

  • Businesses often want to see the ROI of something before committing to it. This is just a defence mechanism to ensure the status quo. If we keep the investment low enough, we don’t need to worry about the return on it. This allows for wide experimentation; not quick wins but quick losses.

      Tell the story of the zeitgeist.
  • I usually suggest that it does not matter what you do, just do something. Let people safely experiment. I suggested to a school board that they give $100 to every teacher to invest in whatever they wanted, without any direction. Teachers could buy something for their classrooms, or perhaps a number of them could pool their money and make a larger impact. The cost would be low. The impact would be wide. The possibilities would be greater than any central committee could plan.

      At Thomas Merton's Grave BY SPENCER REECE We can never be with loss too long. Behind the warped door that sticks, the wood thrush calls to the monks, pausing upon the stone crucifix, singing: "I am marvelous alone!" Thrash, thrash goes the hayfield: rows of marrow and bone undone. The horizon's flashing fastens tight, sealing the blue hills with vermilion. Moss dyes a squirrel's skull green. The cemetery expands its borders- little milky crosses grow like teeth. How kind time is, altering space so nothing stays wrong; and light, more new light, always arrives.

      Been watching this issue unfold with FB and the LGBT community, notably drag queens seeking to remain anonymous or who identify their real name as their drag queen moniker. Problem arises from the fear of letting folks decide for themselves and letting the solutions grow out of those choices.  If anything this is the classic case for arguing for the simplest rules possible that arise from living together online.  Whatever they might be.  Instead of having all the exceptions listed in the article why don't we have them arise from being pseudonymous.  And there will be some.  And some of them will be deadly.  Sadly, we cannot know for certain where the 'felicific calculus' will fall.  I put my bets on freedom over policy until I am proven wrong.

      The first time I used blogs in the secondary high school I first taught at it felt like a not only opening up the cages, but also knocking holes in the walls so that no one could ever use them as cages again.  At least for the students who I was working with, I think this was true.  Once they tasted that freedom there was no going back.  The ultimate check valve.

      Well...maybe it's all grand narrative all the way down.  For example,  I had a grand day outside.  Frost was expected last night so we had to dig our peanuts and check out the sweet potatoes to see if they were ready to dig (tradition here is to dig them after a frost).  I think we are going to get about a five to one return on the peanuts (yield per pound planted) and God knows on the sweet taters.  That is a grand narrative isn't it.  One of the grandest narratives.  Agriculture.  And it is not one that without its...sad side.  I was introduced to a grander narrative only a short while after we had battened down the garden to save the tomatoes and peppers and flowers from frost.  My wife discovered a corn snake trapped in some bird netting.  Corn snakes are the glory of the constrictors round these parts.  Bright orange with diamonds patterns and black and white bellies.  Astonishing.  If you catch sight of of one in the wild you cannot believe that such a creature could hide from anything.  Too bright.  Too shiny.  Yet...I have seen them slither away and disappear like the Cheshire Cat.   We cut the netting away from him/her.  Took her away from where the chickens might do her in (chickens are notorious snake enemies) and released her.  She immediately serpentined about in a threatening "s" to let us know that she was not to be anthropomorphized. Three feet of grand narrative, millions of years old, with a legacy that lives on in one of the parts of our triune brain.  I was unconsciously sweating the whole time I was cutting her away from the netting with scissors. I could not help it.  That narrative is a potent legacy, not to be thrown off by my rational self that told me over and over that there was no danger.  That is a grand narrative.   So here I relate the narrative with words (pix to follow in a blog post).  Whatever happened to the grand narrative?  Is anyone an island entire unto herself?  Should we not consider the unveilin

      Maps into the future--nothing inherently wrong with that.  The danger is in thinking that any cartographer could draw one for us.  We are not alone in this struggle, but we are still Daniel Boone when it comes to blazing our own trail.  Any other map is the wrong one pulled from the cosmic junk drawer, the Procrustean one that will make us fit.  Now that is a myth that comes true every day.

I put my hope in that paradox. I put my heart in the safety of change."  So, Enso, the grand narrative is this: [Animated gif of the undrawing of the enso]

    How much do we suffer from the ill effects of the filter bubble (both external and internal)?  How is the filter bubble different from the echo chamber?  As facilitators in #ccourses what can we do to range out of our normal, self-drawn Venn diagrams?

  • Meaningful time spent with one person has a viral effect on other students who are witnesses to the uniquely meaninful dialogue. Such moments of connection become virtuous, viral messages.

    A quiet little review by one of my favorite bloggers and trainers, Harold Jarche. Great quote here: They suggest dating new ideas from three main sources, of which the second is the most important in my opinion. The media you consume. The people you see. The events you attend.

      Interesting choice of words--propagate.  There are lots of ways to propagate.  And like the biological world some of them are a real pain in the ass.  Take the pawpaw tree. Please.  In order to fruit (seed propagate) it has to have a very specific carrion fly to get into its flower (as I recall anyway, I am not a botanist, YMMV).  If it doesn't, then no fruit.  Luckily the tree also propagates rhizomatically.  So...in learning terms we need to be prepared for difficult propagation and easy propagation.  And these vary wildly from discipline to discipline.
