A collection of thought sketches (or the microevolution of ideas revealed, part 1) 6. May 2010, 10:13

Through real-time connectedness – or hyperconnectivity – even our personal thoughts and actions become networked actions.

As networks make us who we are – and if we connect only with like-minded people – how do we maintain the ability to renew our thinking?

Everything cannot be conveyed to others – and also those things make us who we are.

Without the cultural/semantic metastructures we would have formless forms, colorless colors, meaningless meanings… Any (intentional) social action – taken out of its context of collective social activity – loses its meaning and intention.

Hyper-personalization paradigm is flawed. We want to reach beyond what we know, anticipate or understand. We want to reach beyond ourselves, widen our future horizon.

Personal and collective futures become stories. Personal and collective stories become realities.
