Ramblings about Art, Technology and Attention span

https://twitter.com/mistermircea/status/908838936046456832

1/The intersection of Technology and Art.

2/Art, music & literature teach you to see, hear, feel and think. They show you the world, yourself, and how to orient yourself & act in it.

3/In generations past it was always the arts, literature and music that were at the forefront of reshaping culture and shifting its norms.

4/Movements in art, music and literature both influenced and reflected the times, operating predominantly as a reaction to what came before.

FIN/ Thank you, Satoshi Nakomoto. And to all the shoulders that Satoshi stands upon.

36/ Ultimately, the nation-state is just a network (of networks).

35/ Blockchain-based market networks will replace existing networks. Slowly, then suddenly. In one thing, then in many things.

34/ Networks governed without kings, priests, elites, corporations and mobs. Networks governed by anyone with merit to the network.

33/ Blockchains give us new ways to govern networks. For banking. For voting. For search. For social media. For phone and energy grids.

Information Asymmetry - Context Problem

In each topic there are certain persons which could be identified as "thoughtleaders" or public figures in that space. They give talks , interviews write books etc. They are deeply embedded in their context.

Now if a person not embedded into this context wants to explore this context. I would argue that up until now the method most preferred method was to read a book from the person about the context. A book as a medium gives space for a comprehensive introduction to the topic.

But there are problems with the book. You have to remember . You can not query the book for something like:

Watch me: http://www.ted.com/talks/don_tapscott_how_the_blockchain_is_changing_money_and_business#t-1077274

Blockchains sind ein relativ komplexes Gebilde. Das hängt damit zusammen das sie aus der "Crypto-Community" kommen, genau wie Bitcoin, das bedeutet das sie innerhalb eines eigenen Kontext existieren. Es werden kontextspezifische Begriffe und Konzepte verwendet welche nicht immer "alltags"-verständlich sind. Somit kann man sehr viel Zeit investieren oder auch nur ein 2 minuten youtube video sehen.

Im folgenden stelle ich nun drei verschiedene (Zeit) Investitions-Niveaus vor:

1. Blockchains verstehen und für sie programmieren

Rethinking the Office

  • Measure how long People talk to each other
  • create models from discussions
  • have the company as a model
  • writing specs and having programs to conform to them is simply to slow, error prone and creates too much complexity
  • you can see how the old media (written notes, accounting) creep into what could be new processes Ü(experimentation and colaboration in models)
  • get rid of documents all together
  • create sources of proof (chain of trust) as momental representations
  • help build oracles ( predict how models might look like with certain parameter modifications)

Civilization Perspektive - Rückwärts

Dieser interessante Beitrag untersucht in wie weit das Spiel Civilization sich an der realen Weltgeschichte orientiert. Die Beispiele zu Keramik, Eisen und Bronze sind gut gewählt und in Teilen kann man durchaus verstehen das Aufgrund von vereinfachter Spielmechanik Sachverhalte verschoben, verzerrt oder vereinfacht wurden.

Und trotzdem bleiben da die Fragen: Was wäre wenn man zu erst Bambus- Katapult Bomben mit Schwarzpulver hätte bevor man die Musketen bekommt? Besonders kritisch sieht der Autor die Euro-zentrische Perspektive des Spiel in Bezug auf Epochen und Kulturentwicklungsmöglichkeiten. Auch hier wieder eine Vereinfachung der Spielmechanik. Weil es in Europa ein Mittelalter gab muss es das auch so in China oder Südamerika geben? Islam und Konfuzius kommen viel zu kurz.

Man könnte dies wieder auf die Spielmechanik schieben. Ich frage mich jedoch. Ob es nicht viel interessante
