My Semantic Body is a Cage ~ My Mind holds the Hey

The key to Happiness and Balance may reside 

in an harmony between the In and the Out.

In-Sanity and Out-Sanity.

We make mental constructs to understand the world,

we map our knowledge of it.

And when our understanding is inaccurate or incomplete.
We feel uncomfortable.

Fear of the UnKnown, 

Fear to let it go...

My Semantic Body is a Cage.

My Mind holds the Key.

My Body and Mind are an Inner kingdom I can Build,

and Tools with which I can build the Real World.

And while writing my Inner Story,

i use my Hands to Write another Story.

Predate YourSelf

Embrace the Predator You are.
It is your Strength, not your Weakness.
It's up to you to use it to Create or Destruct.

Being in the Now,
Pushed by the Past,
Carried by the Future.

ICE
knowledge, past, traditions...

FIRE
Life, love, future, hope, do, now...

LIGHT
Choice, strategy, agility, dialectic, balance, compromises...

You always have Ice at the Heart of Fire,
and Fire in the middle of Ice.

It's up to you to bring the Light.

Three core principles that i found a great help 

as a tool to analyse any meaning.

Hope it can help.

Our deepest Demons can be 

Our most Creative Inspirations.

It's just a Choice, Light.

Get apocalyptic: Why radical is the new normal

 Introduction

"Feeling anxious about life in a broken-down society on a stressed-out planet? That’s hardly surprising: Life as we know it is almost over. While the dominant culture encourages dysfunctional denial—pop a pill, go shopping, find your bliss—there’s a more sensible approach: Accept the anxiety, embrace the deeper anguish—and then get apocalyptic."

Conclusion

"To adopt an apocalyptic worldview is not to abandon hope but to affirm life. As James Baldwin put it decades ago, we must remember “that life is the only touchstone and that life is dangerous, and that without the joyful acceptance of this danger, there can never be any safety for anyone, ever, anywhere.” By avoiding the stark reality of our moment in history we don’t make ourselves safe, we undermine the potential of struggles for justice and sustainability.
As Baldwin put it so poignantly in that same 1962 essay, “Not everything that is faced can be changed; but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
It’s time to get apocalyptic, or get out of the way."

My reaction after reading this article :

What i find funny,
is that the word "radical" is actually a judgement,
a strong statement,
while it's a natural flow.
(i mean the distinction between the common use and the meaning)
I don't think we're radical.
Radicals are those hanging to old broken tools...

A reaction to this post about Netention Personas in actual prototype :

"Wow... Love the idea. So basically, it's a new P2P form of Bitcoin?Using Wikis? Am I understanding right?"

• It's much more complex and simpler than that.
  In terms of user experience, it is like a Life Game.

• What you need to understand is that it is a semantic datastructure, which means that one meaning = one unique object.

• So if you tag this meaning as a need or something you can do, it is automatically connected to everyone who has used this meaning.

• So forget administrations, papers, and imagine that the entire system is a game.A mix of Risk, monopoly, Civilisation, X3, the sims, sim city...

• I'd be happy to help you in the process, any feedback is more than welcome.Understand that this is just the bones of the system, and we need everyone to bring a nervous system, flesh and blood to it.

• This is an adventure we invite you to join.If this works, it will be the most amazing reality ever, and will last for ever.If it doesn't, you will just have learnt an enormous amount of useful stuff.

• Also, semantics are the future of web.You want to build your future ?This is an opportunity.

• As you can see, there is room for many more players :

Netention Personas : Development and Open Source University Needs and Cans

• Netention Development Persona

• Open Source University Persona

• As the Graph view doesn't seem to handle actual data, i focused on CANS :

• Then NEEDS : 

• Then HUMAN (which actually represents all servers's personas) :

• After adding lots of tags and making more semantic connections, the graph viewer has found a solution by separating the NEEDS from the CANS. This shows the NEEDS and CANS of the Open Source University Persona :

• Open Source University Persona - Tags : Need, Can, Not :

• Netention Development Persona - Tags : Need, Can, Not :

• It shows some of the Needs or Cans i expressed on my Persona linked with the needs of a Fictional Persona called "deus ex machina" that i tried to describe with NEED/CAN/NOT tags :

• We also tried to describe an anonymous with some friends, which was pretty challenging for the imagination :

Will try to link this with other concepts by creating personas, maybe "starship", or "bootstrapping lunar industry", and so have a semantic focus and express its needs and cans.We made something like the first LAN or hackathon on netention with friends this week-end.Was fun and worked well on a tablet.
It opens up interesting discussions, and i was glad to see a particular friend empowered.
He usually feels dumb and keeps saying he's stupid.
He kept talking about the potentials, and tbh, he thought about amazing stuff !
I would really recommend you to try, ask if you have difficulties.

This is great fun ! ;)
