ynotds's Journal: Going beyond Slashdot

My mind is mostly scrambled between issues of community, of praxis and of theoria.

Slashdot provides a powerful exemplar of community and praxis, by which I here mean my 20 year old ideas for a Public Information Communications and Access system, which has morphed into my current efforts to pull together TransForum version 2.

Slashdot's Science section adds one more temptation to the range of sources which add data to my theoretical explorations of what in 2002 in Oz it has again become accepted to label "complex systems" but which I see more and more as part of the Big Picture.

My experience of community has been the best antidote for flawed notions of control and largely become something to be escaped from so I can focus more of my aging energies on the theoria and the praxis.

Maybe I should try to use this little corner of cyberspace to expose a few thoughts on subjects that might be better suited to this audience than to the handful of aging and mostly private TransForums which I sometimes use as sounding boards.

That might also depend on whether anybody else wants to join such an obscure discussion.
