You've just given me the inspiration to go clean house in my feeds. What's interesting, is all you've done is restated something I already knew, but in a way that resonated with me.

What’s interesting, is all you’ve done is restated something I already knew, but in a way that resonated with me.

Next, I’m going to go read Doc Searls’ essay…

To extend the permissions comparison, would your example be better explained with chmod 775? Assuming that those in your "group" (meaning on twitter, facebook, etc.) would also have write access to your brain while the rest of the world is without authorship to your brain?

This is the power of politics, religion and every other social movement. Re-read Adam Smith, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Nicolai Machiavelli, and read especially between the lines. This effect is how the Republicans beat the Democrats in most major elections over the last 10-15 years. It's like an open source brain, or a CC license for conscious and unconscious thought. Social networks inform-form everyone and each individual forms as they resonate with the information they receive from the networks. It is very organic and epidemiological (re-read The Tipping Point), and it usually self-corrects when it gets out of hand. Just as in the rest of nature, all is chaos and all order is momentary, a Heisenberg snapshot. Thanks for being in my network! Josh, I agree 100%.
