It's time to travel to the edges because this is where the interesting stuff
|
|
|
|
|
happens. "What is popular" is rarely a question that helps finding edges.

I'd like to recap what i learned in 15 months of my re-juvenated and
|
|
|
|

re-energized quest into decentralization and what it might mean.

For one, I'd like to forward a question from Gene Youngblood's
|
|
|
|
|
[Secession from the broadcast lecture][1]: "how can we create on the
|
|
|
|
|
same scale as we can destroy?". Gene suggests we need to move away from
|
|
|
|
|
the "Audience nation" by becoming "political actors" instead of
|
|
|
|
|
"interested spectators of action".

Second, I highlight a thought from Adam Ierymenko [2]: If full
|
|
|
|
|
decentralization is technically too hard currently, can we construct and
|
|
|
|
|
make use of a **Blind Idiot God** (BIG) instance which co-ordinates some
|
|
|
|
|
communication but can not abuse it or even understand what's going on
|
|
|
|
|
precisely?

Lastly, how can we create sustained systems and products if we

don't want to imitate the centralized web service cash cow model?

As Laura Kolbag [3] pointed out recently in Nuernberg, paying
|
|
|
|
|
for software might not be so bad if the "free to use" models
|
|
|
|
|
mean surveillance and centralized control. And she suggests
|
|
|
|
|
that design and useability should drive Open Source software
|
|
|
|
|
mean surveillance and centralized control. And she notes
|
|
|
|
|
that design and useability should drive open source developments
|
|
|
|
|
instead of features and options.

The edges are where we encounter the others, those who are somehow
|
|
|
|
|
not like us. It's a place where i easily run into fears. At the edges
|
|
|
|
|
there is no central authority suggesting what to think or do next. The
|
|
|
|
|
number of people at the edges is by definition lower than in the center.
|
|
|
|
|
But it's where things can happen. Secession from the broadcast.
|
|
|
|
|
The edges are where we encounter the others, those who are somehow unlike.
|
|
|
|
|
It's a place where i easily run into fears and look for friends. At the edges
|
|
|
|
|
there is no central authority suggesting what to think or do next. And
|
|
|
|
|
the number of people at the edges is always lower than in the center.
|
|
|
|
|
But that's fine, this is how things get moving as i've experienced
|
|
|
|
|
myself a number of times now.
