Having become somewhat mindless and numb over the past few days, when I awoke this morning I had pretty much no significant topics swirling around in my brain. 😐 No worry — mainstream media came to the rescue! But first let me backtrack a little to the foundations … literally. Infrastructure is a part of… Continue reading Infrastructure is a Historical Context that Can Span Several Centuries

Foolish Trusting Untrustworthy Sources of Information
Yesterday, I wrote again about the fanatical belief systems of fools who are time and time again duped into investing in information resources which are not worthy as trusted sources (see “How to Fix a Problem (in 60 Seconds or Less)” [ https://leading.business.blog/2022/03/19/how-to-fix-a-problem-in-60-seconds-or-less ] ). As you may recall, this is also the conclusion of… Continue reading Foolish Trusting Untrustworthy Sources of Information
The Social Construction of Publishing
In my opinion there is not actually just one construct of publishing, I discern at least two such social constructs — perhaps there are even more, but let’s start with the one most people are already somewhat familiar with. Authors. Blank pages. Pens, ink blots and such. Today, maybe desktop PCs — or sitting in… Continue reading The Social Construction of Publishing
Flat vs Deep — Frames & Hierarchies
This post may be a little bit unpolished and raw. I have been mulling it over in my mind for a few days, or rather the “it” (the post’s title) just became clear to me now at this moment … but I have been mulling something over for several days already without any clear unifying… Continue reading Flat vs Deep — Frames & Hierarchies
Natural Languages & Linguistic Empathy — a First Essay on the Impact of Phenomena such as Presence, Awareness and Focus on Social Cohesion
To begin, I wish to contextualize my writing of this chapter within so-called “real world” history. I normally try to remain aloof from engaging with ephemeral inkstains on cheesecloth, but since this very chapter is actually sort of antithetical to the so-called “real world” views of most propaganda industries, I think it is perhaps useful… Continue reading Natural Languages & Linguistic Empathy — a First Essay on the Impact of Phenomena such as Presence, Awareness and Focus on Social Cohesion
Things you don’t know that you don’t know
I had an interesting chat with one of my German friends (who also happens to belong to the group I mentioned in Chapter 3: “What is the Primary Goal of Social Business?“). I was telling him about a story I was working on at the moment (“The lowdown on the current state in the Amanda… Continue reading Things you don’t know that you don’t know
Infinity vs URL
How many specks of dust are there in the universe? Very very many. Is each speck of dust unique? Perhaps, maybe, I don’t know. Vast is a quite short word, yet it spans such breadth, so many cases, across the universe. This little four-letter word almost extends beyond the outer reaches of human intellect itself.… Continue reading Infinity vs URL
Writing (by Machines for Humans)
At the conclusion of Chapter 2 (“Relationships and Things“), we considered the question of whether languages might be interpreted across species. Now I want to consider whether a particular kind of language can be used for communication between humans and machines. Let me give you the answer right at the outset: such languages are already… Continue reading Writing (by Machines for Humans)
What is the Primary Goal of Social Business?
I want to pick up where we left the discussion at the conclusion of the last chapter … in the next chapter. Here and now I would like to attempt a first approximation of the primary goal of “social business”. Let me point out that I do not “own” this phrase — except and insofar… Continue reading What is the Primary Goal of Social Business?
Relationships and Things
A very long time ago, someone came up with names for things. It was so long ago, that we can no longer really tell how it happened. In the beginning, it was said. That’s pretty much all we know – no, it’s actually what we believe. How’s that for facts? OK, so as my father… Continue reading Relationships and Things
