Wednesday 13A
Convener: Jeff Orgel
Notes-taker(s): Jeff Orgel
Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps:
Orienting Towards Positive Augmentation of the HumanOS (Human Nature) vs Invasive Displacement of the Same.
This session is designed to contemplate and consider all peoples of the world based on the shared root of our ancient and genetic Human Nature.
Until we can find handles to adjust or state of digital presence (Real-IT), or be respectfully treated by default (Me2BA), we are in the currents of events well beyond most anyone’s ability to holistically manage digital experiences at the internal, personal level.
Premises of discussion
Human Nature has been met by code written to “optimize” the Human OS.
Togetherness, mute children speak, lame children can run…
Omnipresent information to feed curiosity, R-IT.Voyeurism, R-IT.Self-Aggrandizement = ego-casting
Price of admission to be present with most of one’s familiar community Especially for tween-teen ages as they strive to find their social place. **
Information is heightened, as well as diminished, by “the Cult of the Amateur” as Andrew Keene would put it.
- exacerbated by C-19
Real-IT: Understanding the relationships we choose to have, or not have, with information technologies. Our Real-IT will reflect into our Reality
Our HumanOS is generally unprotected from this layer of insult. “Good tech is invisible” so who can even tell until stuff starts growing on your digital presence?
Our Sensor package is over-clocked = stress… Who has been honest and open until…now?! (Social Dilemma, etc.) ...about this when it mattered most? Who’s talking about VR?
IIW.29 – The Gravity Wars: VR v Real World. Who trains people on dealing with the vortex of other idyllic worlds for the socially uncomfortable or narcissist
As people (we) step into a gamed space…
Advancement of brain science allows “the house” to have an extraordinary ability to impart and extract not only data, but experiences; nudging of emotional ups and DOWNS (x6+)
Brain Science and platform motives (often dealing with profit first) rules SocNet like “the House” rules (and adjusts on the fly) to a tilted gamble regarding the COST
As a Parent; the competition from a device optimized to engage my kid is a great offense to my opportunity to raise my child with fighting psy-op science trying to win my kid’s head and time away from the world around, but maybe more importantly, away from the person she would have been under the influence of the local priorities and tasks which lay before her…
! - Much socially based platform code has been written to optimize clicks. Clicks are optimized when we’re upset. Dry cleaner 10 good for every bad, cause angry person tells 10 people, happy person tells 1
! - Twitter fallacy spreads 6X faster than truth.
! - Notable vulnerable communities: Parenting, Elderly, Uninclined to IT risk, do not love tech, people who find machine relationships alien to their Human Nature.
