David Brin and Sheldon Brown gave a talk at GooGle. Visualization/MapPing at Problem Solving tool. See the VidEo.

They've worked together on the Exorar Ium project.

They broke up their talk into Art, Anticipat Ion, Resil Ience, and [Dis Course] (which I'll instead call Argumentat Ion). Brin spent most of his time on the last point, saying the middle two are pretty well understood.

• We think that Generation Y doesn't want to engage in Argumentat Ion, but their behavior is driven by their preference for Live Chat/Instant Messaging.

• Therefore if we want their participation, we need to improve Real Time Collaboration Ware.

• Brin himself just got a PatEnt for such ideas, which he's putting under the label [Holo Cene]. His intent is not so much to get rich on licensing, as to show, by existence of the patent, that nobody's done this before, in hopes of drawing attention and other implementations. (Which seems like backwards PR to me. In the video he says "I tried everything else without success, so I'm trying this." Maybe he should transfer the [IP] over to the EFF, kinda like in Acceler Ando.) [Mark Burgess] is his CTO.
