I used to worry about filling the gaps in what I didn’t know. I am now worried that I know too much.
Sort of a case in point, and also making a sort of tangentially related point. Like a lot of us do, its increasingly shocking, but at the same time intriguing [(both the fact that there seems to be this common mutual awareness, a sort of shared experience, which we are sorting a situation that we created with social media, but acknowledging that the internet precedes that and all sorts of things precede both in ways, some of us actually may be able to imagine w the tech available.)]are becoming either more in tune with the “Sub-text”, but not what it used to mean, a sort of sub-text 2.0. Where there is an awareness that something is different, or something is occurring, we do not overtly communicate it, only because we do not know what it is.
Either way, multiple questions exist. How to navigate where we are heading, where it is we actually want to go, how much say we actually have, any, or too much), and something I almost missed, but who is “We”?
What happens next, likely depends on what we do now or the less “intentional” variety (we have homework but we possibly are doing the equivalent of watching YouTube, by discussing YouTube.), which depends on what plan, we can do the no plan sort of plan we have been running since we either started developing consciousness, the odd phenomenon of abstraction. What are these tools, what did we effectively lose in a user interface, experiential sort of way?
The matrix analogy and knowing too much become increasingly interesting. User experience is everything, in the case of the social media dilemma, we know it intimately. What it’s like with an eagled eyed view of the field, what it’s like to be unwittingly accomplice to Sth you didn’t, being the “manipulated”, and the “unfreed” which will decrease over time likely faster than we, I’d say, generally anticipate.
We should explore the idea that there are areas we could be better brought up to speed in areas that don’t exist so clearly. We seem possibly increasingly pushing the boundaries with abstraction and logic, on specific areas intensely. And then possibly at some point, it’s already taken an active role in shaping our ever evolving experience.
come in to play effect gaining the capacity to feel in all its form most importantly, who is we? or is a facet not of are intriguing & possibly telling, that it could be … telling of something significant that could help us.
