    Bernard D Tremblay (ben) replied to the topic Public engagement with unglamorous government work in the forum Miscellaneous 8 years, 5 months ago

    My whole project is unglamorous! (see this snippet about Hesse’s glasperlenspiel … glorious, but not glamorous!)
    In context of #AttentionEconomy I think of 80/20 as pointing to the fact that, most of the time, most people are just surfing. Maybe in relation to something they’re interested in, but still … pretty superficial/trivial. What I’m…[Read more]

    @3c4xuoe5gy2myUmmmm … people like to talk. For various reasons. (Enter social-psych.) And that ties into the decisions they make. (Enter cog-psych.) How we explain it might condition how we influence people (enter marketing and manipulation) but it really doesn’t add to our understanding. IMNSHO ideology is all about getting folk comfortable…[Read more]

    @3c4xuoe5gy2mySorry, I don’t follow. “What’s in it for them”? We’re talking about discussion and making decisions, right?
    And “break it down” … what’s the “it”?

    @3c4xuoe5gy2my(Not keen on how Ning dis-connects replies from comments; HeyHo) re: participatory deliberation”, my thinking is that there’s one thing that trumps mere lucre and that’s folks’ self-fascination. Not in the pathological sense, but the sort of thing that buttresses healthy self-esteem. So, by promoting the subjective narrative (rather…[Read more]

    @27pnclnzg7hc4“Existential Manifesto” hunh …
    … go for it!
    *beam*

    Maybe you can touch on stuff like group-think / bullying. You know, stuff that’s actually existential.

    @1nglanq0j38hgThanks for the heads-up Dave … definitely a site I should have; nice to see NCDD front and center!
    BTW/FWIW when I was doing a survey of such projects I kept a bit of a working journal. There might be something of interest for you there.
    p.s. bentrem.sycks.net/diaproc.html … a snapshot dating back to ’97 or so. 😉

    @1i2cd5ze03jyfNing soooooooooooo bugs me. And in soooooo many ways.
    I can only guess that Andreeson doesn’t actually use it.
    Or he needs JWZ for hand-holding.

    I just uploaded a photo. But I can’t annotate it with a comment.
    How uber-retro/lame is that …
    … no, really.

    @32s2r6oc7hw0eHi there – I see your homepage link (Ning really miss-fires on some basics) but it isn’t clickable. And for some reason I cannot copy it after selecting. And since it’s grey font on black BG I have a hard time reading it. Hope I can get there!

    @plansparkHey Tim – just spidering Zilino. (Have you come across the term strategia or variants? I love that idea in context of what I call “participatory deliberation” … pulling the concept of “sage general” from Sun Tzu … engage citizens as authentic change agents … like that.)
    Had a thought: you might enjoy the pile of resources I spliced…[Read more]

    @3fvjh06g3l8x0G’Day David –
    Going through old email (I love the fact that Thunderbird allows me to star items. Not sure why I can’t get the swing of GMail.) and found one from you … November?
    Anyhow: recall my mention of Plum Book? You replied (IIRC) something about Sunlight perhaps funding that.
    Because it’s ancillary to my own work I hesitate…[Read more]
