David: yeah. But we need a strategy before anything.... David: the means is proven me: well David: the end-goal (and means of adjusting it as things progress) must be defined me: it's sort of forming itself David: yeah, that's what's so amazing. me: by which I mean the cerebral cortex David: yes :) David: I've been pushing the consciousness analogy since '08. My background is philosophy of mind, psychology, and cog sci David: I have a neuroscientists and a philosopher (specializing in consciousness) that I found on SA working with me as a team David: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Internet-Prophet/104989272889993 me: you should e-mail me robinsonchicago@gmail.com me: tell him a bit about yourself me: he will send you documents me: then I'll get back to regarding the virtual republic me: and the Tunisian framework me: brb cig David: awesome. David: (coo) David: The thing people don't realize about this emerging consciousness is that it's only as smart (or moral) as the consensus position. And the consensus position is shaped by the participants. So people that leave Anonymous to the channers are sacrificing their future by refusing to get involved in shaping the outcome. David: I have worked out anthropological 'rules' of Anonymous, working with Michael Wesch. It's a complete revolution in terms of what is regarded as 'right', 'just', 'polite', and 'obscene.' These terms themselves are being changed. And that's the 'culture war' aspect of the whole event. David: (there's an 'information war' aspect, a 'culture war' aspect, and a 'class war' aspect. The solution isn't for any one side to 'win', it's for a consensus to be reached, a synthesis between thesis and antithesis)
