(2018-11-29) Next Open Infrastructure

Tim Berners-Lee projects like Solid generally turn me off because they seem to fight against Worse is Better and not provide a simple/fast path to getting benefits. But...

I'm also pondering big-vision HiveMind ideas

• Daemon
• Maneki Neko
• Whuffie
• (though part of me wonders if these are red herrings, unrealistic distractions that would lead to design trade-offs for which the benefit would never appear because it really requires AGI...)

And smaller visions (Global Brain?)

• CoachBot, Guide to Greatness, Siri
• Self-Care/Self-Improvement/digital therapeutics apps
• Digital Garden Standards
• but nothing here is a protocol

Also mixing in: Tribe, NeuroTribe, EVoting, VirtualState...

Vs current CultureWar/SocialMedia mess...

And I get very nervous about

• anyone having that data: GAFA, BigGov, employers, HealthInsurance, etc.
• MonoCulture of GameRules

It kinda feels like IndieWeb and Mastodon/ActivityPub are fighting the last war.

Go back to Think Like The Web?
