Beyond existing communication models
"All Western scientific models of communication are linear, sequential, and logical as a reflection of the late medieval emphasis on the Greek notion of efficient causality."
McLuhan and Powers criticize Western models of communication as emblematic of left-hemisphere bias and linearity, descended from a print-era perversion of Aristotle's notion of efficient causality.
We are fundamentally inclined to bias of information because of our fixed pattern thinking, which is a cause of dissonance and confusion due to the electronic universe in which we exist in varying degrees of conflux.
You must ask questions and examine objectively in order to fully comprehend the reality (perception) being affected.
McLuhan believed that in order to grasp fully the effect of a new technology, one must examine figure (medium) and ground (context) together, since neither is completely intelligible without the other.
McLuhan argued that we must study media in their historical context, particularly in relation to the technologies that preceded them. The present environment, itself made up of the effects of previous technologies, gives rise to new technologies, which, in their turn, further affect society and individuals.
All technologies have embedded within them their own assumptions about time and space. The message which the medium conveys can only be understood if the medium and the environment in which the medium is used—and which, simultaneously, it effectively creates—are analysed together. He believed that an examination of the figure-ground relationship can offer a critical commentary on culture and society.
Otherwise, Clown World remains the status quo. 🤡

Clown World Bias
“If you want freedom, take the COVID vaccines.”
“The IOC dismisses investigative claims of Chinese genocide against the Uyghurs ahead of 2022 Winter Games in Beijing.”
“Making sure that there's that scientific depth in GMO research to analyze crop by crop is something the Gates Foundation is helping to invest in. But each country will have its own decisions.”
“Human impacts on Earth’s resources – including ones previously too small to measure from space – are much higher than anticipated”
“It was a free & fair election, non-fraudulent, in which Joe Biden won a record-number of votes.”
“President Biden nominated two female generals for promotions on Saturday, months after former President Trump's Pentagon officials reportedly delayed recommending they be promoted out of a concern the former president would reject them because they are women.”

If you want to know the truth from the narrative - you have to have a backstop of context, of quality information on which to make sound judgements, based on factual insight - not bias slant.
There are people out there who are dedicated to this. Some have been doing this longer than others, but more and more are joining the efforts to determine truth from Narrative. They are Constitutionalists, they believe in America more than they believe in power for their own purposes. These are people who risk their career reputations to speak against the bias of greed and corruption.
They have different approaches, different solutions, different ideas on how to innovate FORWARD, away from the conditioning of the present purported by an alternative and slanted history we orient to as the accepted past.
Objectivity requires an honest consideration of all possible solution sets.
Example: ideas to streamline data from Bobby Piton to organize for election integrity in Illinois are not only viable & actionable in the status quo: 👇

Much of my life in the markets has been spent trying to understand better ways to streamline an overabundance of information and data into actionable sound decisions. It's been a very tedious process to develop processes that allow me to move at a much faster, clearer minded pace. It's a never ending process as I am constantly evaluating how to cut the wheat from the chaff.
As I continue to get more involved in trying to better understand how dysfunctional our political processes are and how corrupt so many in the process seem to be, I realize that no one has really attempted to design, implement and maintain an honest information infrastructure about issues that matter most to Americans.
This is something I have been thinking about for months, and I have taken the first steps to map out an alternative approach. Short term, I envision 5 then 13 .. then 33 people around a core team to roll this out in stages. Designing this will be a multi year /decade endeavour and I'm not sure what the pace will look like as I balance my core responsibilities to my clients and my family.
If there wasn't so much overlap between my skill sets being transferrable, I would not even consider attempting to design something like this. But since I do believe I have "edge" (Wall Street parlence) I figure why not try?
I'd love to get some thoughts, feedback about this 30,000 foot view.

Wisdom in The Information Age
This is an interesting topic.
High-speed advanced technologies (designed to enhance quality of life > rapid actualization) significantly shape cultural norms. The result?
An instant gratification society.
What does it mean to exist in an instant gratification society?
A neuro-physiological dependency to experience rapid feedback.
What kind of rapid feedback? In terms of dependency (expectation), feedback type ranges from baseline useful to positive in most typically expected.
Send a text, expect a reply.
Post a pic, expect a like. Or at least, expect interaction of some kind.
Useful feedback may not necessarily mean positive feedback, but useful + positive feedback is generally preferred (Useful+).
So to recap:
What does it mean to exist in an instant gratification society?
A neuro-physiological dependency to experience rapid feedback, with a preferential expectation that rapid feedback is useful and positive.
Input(your Action) =(Receives) Useful+ (Feedback).
Input = Useful+
This is what’s expected.
There was a time in history before now, when we didn’t know if our actions would result in immediate feedback.
ie: Send a letter to loved one overseas, have no idea if you’d receive a reply or not depending on the context.
Prior to the Information Age, the equation was different.
Input = ?
Ponder the implications of this statement for a moment.

Wisdom • Knowledge
Intelligence
Wisdom is built upon knowledge.
Knowledge is a result of experience, intelligence, and time (age).
Intelligence reflects the speed with which you can learn.
There are key differences in terms, but in the context of this topic, the terms are inter-related.
The ability to acquire and apply knowledge is more useful than the simple quality of having knowledge already.
Being smart is a process of learning, while being wise is a product of experience.
Both imply time, intellect, lessons learned and lessons applied.
The difference between the two, (Smart vs. Wise) in the context of circumstantial application (the context in which you exist and make decisions)- is efficacy.
A smart person may apply knowledge in a situation with less efficacy than a wise person, who applies their knowledge in the same situation - though both are technically peers in age or academic credentials.
The same could be true even if they were not peers in age or academic credentials.
What does this mean?
Upon review of decision making, circumstantial efficacy of applied knowledge will differentiate the smart from the wise.

My friend who runs the Narrative Reframes channel compared our situation to a hostile custody battle. That is true, but I have an even better analogy.
The current American party system, in all three branches of government, is like WWE wrestling. The actors pretend like they're really going at it and throwing left hooks like there's no tomorrow. But, no matter what, at the end of the day they get paid.
I don't want a career in fake wrestling, and therein lies my motive

Artificial intelligence is a lot like communism: Ask ten machine learning experts to define it and they’ll come up with one hundred different definitions… and none of them will work as advertised.
Just as the printing press mass produced text information, neural networks mass produce correlation. Understanding this narrative reframe will help us figure out how to avoid future censorship and understand the limits of our current tyrants.
Part 1 of Cognitive Asymmetry will explore how the printing press, the Industrial age, and the Internet created structurally similar “shifts of scale”.

Many of us, in our own ways, will likely be celebrating the life and death of Mr. McAfee today. Over the past ten years, his spectacular public shift into rock star rebel status against what is widely seen as a corrupt intelligence community has left a massive trail of memes.
It’s worth looking into the nature of the company he founded to understand what kind of leverage he frequently claimed to have.

Astroturf and manipulation of media messages | Sharyl Attkisson | TEDxUniversityofNevada
In this eye-opening talk, veteran investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson shows how astroturf, or fake grassroots movements funded by political, corporate, or other special interests very effectively manipulate and distort media messages.
