Euan picked up a sound bite (below) from one of the 10 Principles with which I’m experimenting (as in looking for feedback).
He picked an interesting one. I’d argue that without the genius of the thousands and thousands of people who’ve invented, demonstrated, practiced and promoted blogging, the collective “we” wouldn’t have been able to get into all these conversations about how important conversation and voice are to our ongoing development as societies and as a species.
Euan challenges … now that the conversations are being made visible, and shining throught the structures, well … whatare we gonna do about it and with it ?
I don’t know Latin, so this is likely to be goofy … from homo sapiens to homo interactivus, or homo conversens ?
Human beings have been having conversations since time began. That’s how we’ve figured out all of the things we’ve invented and how we govern ourselves. It’s how we’ve gotten to how we are now.
In the Industrial Age, reporting relationships, and the assumption that the dog on the top of the heap knew more than all the other dogs, were the formalized structure for conversation . It doesn’t work very well this way, anymore.
