Talk:Semantic organisation

Naomi Klein Short Video

Hi Aran, Check these out. The first puts me in mind of our discussion yesterday whereby the candidates for levels 1, 2, and 3 would have to undergo similar 'initiations' via a process culminating in powerful suggestion. Just as one may inquire "How does a sick mind know when it is sick", so one may also inquire how does a brainwashed [programmed] mind know that it has been brainwashed?" How does a prejudiced mind know when it is prejudiced?

Cheers! --Johnwhyte

Thanks she's cool! One could also ask how a healthy mind may know that it's healthy --Nad
Sounds like a good koan. Otherwise, its not a question that i would feel qualified to answer [nudge, nudge!] Generally speaking, human nature being what it is, mind cannot readily see its own faults. It has been said that mind discovers the truth about itself last. Thus the twin curses of human error prevail: prejudice and superstition. See you Friday? --Johnwhyte
The web3 solution would be for the society to make publicly available the precise meaning of sickness, including processes individuals could perform to asses how strongly they currently fit into their locally known categories of sickness. Yip will be there Friday :-) --Nad
Oooh Dodgy! I feel a form of Matrix coming on - to say nothing of Orwellian Paranoia! :-( --Johnwhyte
It would be dodgy if the publicly available knowledge were controlled from top down, but if it is a result of bottom-up collaboration it's very trustworthy. But that's really implying p2p which is "web4" instead of just the old web3 :-) --Nad 13:04, 27 November 2007 (NZDT)

OD System + Template Organisations

This is brilliant. I wanted to mention that the discussion about:

  • generic record type which is the foundation for the description of all changes of state in any dimension of the organisation... formalised into semantic annotations and templates
  • business system aspects

-strongly resemble (to me) the properties in SMW - at least in the way I understood them. I am also reminded of the datawarehouse/datacube dimension concept. It seems that something very powerful can emerge from these ideas. --Infomaniac 03:07, 25 August 2010 (NZST)
