Localization is a commonly used term to refer to translating content into other languages — but it’s almost never as simple as that. One of my German friends suggested I should write something for a German-speaking audience (alluding to some of my English language sites, such as this one or my indigena project). I felt… Continue reading Localization (or Localisation?) and Context: Das Gegenüber

With or Without Advertising
In the previous two installments, we investigated worlds with and without advertising. Now let’s begin trying to discover which world we prefer to (or choose to) engage in. Essentially, this boils down to choosing whether we want to receive one message at a time, or whether we would prefer to receive two messages at the… Continue reading With or Without Advertising
A Deep Dive Behind the Editorial Wall
At the moment my brain is brimming with a bunch of interconnected ideas … and this one needs to be addressed first of all. Many years ago, when I first published my controversial ideas (way before I revised the nomenclature in “Hope & Change: Flipping the F-word & Removing the Old-Fashioned R-word” [ https://remediary.com/2020/11/06/hope-change-flipping-the-f-word-removing-the-old-fashioned-r-word ],… Continue reading A Deep Dive Behind the Editorial Wall
A Tale of Two Segments
Once upon a time, where you lived had a huge impact on your life. Now, not so much. Today, what you think about, what you spend your time with, what occupies your mind and your mental energy matters a lot more. In this chapter, I aim to do a little thought experiment. I am going… Continue reading A Tale of Two Segments
Chill to Follow
There is a dim glow on the horizon, it is a wallowing in the comfortably numb state of golden slumbers. Humans are not all that special. We may be human, but we’re still animals. Steve Vai, “Liberty” (from the album “Passion and Warfare”) Like animals, we do not expect things “out of the ordinary” to… Continue reading Chill to Follow
Self VS. Spy
Ah, Summertime … 🙂 In any case now (as a follow-up to last week’s “Moving Out Beyond Levels of Data“) might be the best time to yet again bring up the spyware issue (which of course ultimately harkens back to the entire rational — versus irrational — media debate [1] ). Irrational media cannot deliver… Continue reading Self VS. Spy
Moving Out Beyond Levels of Data
I have been trying to review some of my disparate ideas, mulling them over in order to reach some kind of synthesis. Again since most of these ideas seem to be kind of controversial, even just mentioning one of them very likely would trip up the argument severely, simply because most of my audience —… Continue reading Moving Out Beyond Levels of Data
Self Determination
Among the people I met up with in Porto last weekend (see chapter 21, “Social Business Regulation: Introduction & Socio BIZ Rule #1“) was a woman from Latvia who spoke really excellent English (probably because — as she mentioned in passing — she now lives in England). She noted that she feels it is wrong the… Continue reading Self Determination
The Law One
You might think I might now present an argument saying you should never kill anything, but if so then I’m afraid I am going to disappoint you. Going back (anyone remember that song by Nils Lofgren?) … to the Seventies (I think), I arrive at this iconic line from a band called The Clash (perhaps… Continue reading The Law One
We Come in Peace … SHOOT TO KILL !!!
Back in 1987, there was a band called “The Firm” (no, not the one with Paul Rodgers & Jimmy Page) … which released a very successful single named “Star Trekkin”. You can still find copies of the promo video today. Imagine you were arriving at some planet somewhere and you discovered a developed civilization with… Continue reading We Come in Peace … SHOOT TO KILL !!!
