I agree with what you are both
saying.. The situation I am describing is more akin to
todays system where you have to fight for information. The object I'm working on is about more than
transparency of information (that is there now just nobody looks for it!) but
I'm talking about deep transparency. Like an episode of the simpsons.. People
watch it. And they don't realise that they are learning things about the way the
world is. There's no elitism in suggesting that the majority
have no clue about most things. Unfortunately that is true. The
solution? Today: Choose for them
Tomorrow: They will choose for
themself Why not today? Because people today are not brought
up to think for themselves. Many are and do, but the majority need to learn more
about the world. I am focussed on that and Social Computer is an object of study
for everyone. So they can see the workings of these systems and get involved and
aware of what is going on in society.
