# Secession from the broadcast |
|||
|
|||
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 paraphrase a thought from Adam Ierymenko's [I want to |
|||
believe][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, I wonder how can we create sustained systems and services if we |
|||
don't want the centralized web service cash cow control 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 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 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. |
