12. zoom out graphic

13. app/chip update ideas – perhaps everyone does the 3 min by 9am. then there are a couple set assembly spaces (ie: library, school
buildings, theatre/hall, park, ..) – where the app directed/suggested match-ups happen at 10am (rather than a text – perhaps gps
ness directs matches to each other). the 30 min home base would be some/any fixed group of 7ish (flexible as/if tribe found/desired)

14. conversational thinkers .. perpetually in beta.
alive. awake.
We’re becoming more conversational thinkers—a shift that has been rocky,
not least because everyday public thought uncorks the incivility and
prejudices that are commonly repressed in face-to-face life. But at its best
(which, I’d argue, is surprisingly often), it’s a thrilling development, reigniting
ancient traditions of dialogue and debate. – Clive Thompson

15. in Zeynep Tufekci‘s twitter and tear gas
(4059): on turkey closing internet – forcing private networks.. (giving up surveillance but curtailing wider convo)..
it appears that an unfettered convo is considered
to be a bigger risk than lack of surveillance
capacity

16. from Sherry Turkle‘s reclaiming conversation
(p 107): much of the work is done (in convo) as children learn they are in a place
they can come back to, tomorrow and tomorrow. when digital media encourage us
to edit ourselves until we have said the ‘right thing’ we can lose sight of the important
thing: relationships deepen not because we necessarily say anything in
particular but because we are invested enough to show up for another
conversation.
(p 173): if you’re talking you can mess up.. and it turns into something really funny.
that’s how people bond.. it’s not like everything is made to be perfect. – ginger
getting a go.. every day.. anew.. and always.
groundhog day ness

17. (p 44): conversation implies something kinetic. it is derive from words that mean
‘to tend to each other, to lean toward each other’ words about the activity of
relationship
communication ness.. never-being-finished ness
on the cycle/intertwining of the 2 convos (a&a)..
(p 46): solitude does not necessarily mean being alone it is a state of conscious
retreat, a gathering of the self. the capacity for solitude makes relationships with
others more authentic.. because you know who you are, you can see others for who
they are, not for who you need them to be.. we don’t know who we are when we
are alone, we turn to other people to support our sense of self. this makes it
impossible to fully experience others as who they are.
