Effandineffablernets

Urbi et Orbi:

In the places I go there are things that I see
That I never could spell if I stopped with the Z.
I'm telling you this 'cause you're one of my friends.
My alphabet starts where your alphabet ends!
Dr. Seuss

Open your soul, hearts and minds; leave your walls behind and come out here with me.  Come on. Just come outside.  The house of thought won't collapse if you leave it behind for a bit.  

21st Century Paradigm: Read anything that Doc Searls or John Hagel, JP Rangaswami, Bob Frankston or other "visionaries" (why some see that as a put-down is beyond me) others write.  For some it's visionary.  For others it's vibrant reality.  For some a blessing.  For others a warning.  

21st Century Paradigm: whole brain thinking  -> using both hemispheres of your brain rather than hopping around on one hemisphere cursing how horrible reality is while simultaneously cursing the right hemisphere.  

• Intuitively logical

• Logically intuitive

• Neither intuitive nor logical but still, it's here.

• Behavioral economics

• Commons; Open spaces; anima.

• Collaborative.  Cloud.  Infrastructure. 

• Ambient connectivity.  Open. Yin.  Fluid.

21st Century Paradigm: Effandineffablernets

The naming of networks is a difficult matter.  It isn't just one of your holiday games.  

...

But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover--
But THE NETWORK ITSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a net in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His minds are engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

Humans call it the "Internet."  The things they miss.

20th Century Paradigm: Telecommunications.  Mine.  Not yours.  Bright lines.  Hard boundaries. Opposition is competition.  Zero sum legal contests render high truths. 

20th Century Paradigm:  We hire politicians to run our proprioceptors and pay lawyers to fight reality in cramped artificial contests obscured from stakeholders and judged by politicians beholden to those who hire the lawyers.  

20th Century Paradigm: "We murder to dissect" (quoting Tennyson b/c 20th century paradigm is simply 19th century paradigm gone nuclear and digital without producing sustainable energy or sustainable communications systems). 

20th Century Paradigm:  Thinking top-down command and control corporations, militaries, or governments are efficient, evolved, adaptive, or anything other than pathologically self-destructive. 

20th Century Paradigm: pills solve potency.  (Love is potency.)

20th Century Paradigm: Any assumption that order can be imposed or mandated.  Rather than see the futility of the systems of orders it invented, it simply re-organizes the same system in order to impose the same form of order that caused the catastrophe necessitating the reorder again.  

Corporations, of course, do this much better than government.  They're paid more, and therefore, smarter.  Observe the abundant manifestations of corporate wisdom during the 20th century.  Neither corporations nor governments create wisdom.  They are dangers to themselves and others.  Were that not true, we'd have a vibrant ecosystem at every layer both inside and outside the glass not to mention the planet that sustains it all.    

20th Century Paradigm: History controls the present and fears the future.  

Only the present affects the present.  The future is the fears of the past projected on a wall.  Future and past exist only in fleeting and transitory thoughts.  Thought is malleable.  It is illusion.  What you think is not what is.  What is is what is.  Thinking is the screen of illusion that separates awareness from reality.  

Flow the spaciousness brothers and sisters.

Oh the things you can find
If you don't stay behind!

Good luck.
