Conceiving Of And Responding To New Possibilities...

We participate in the forming of the future by virtue of our capacity to conceive of and respond to new possibilities, to bring them out of imagination and try them in actuality. ~ Rollo May

Can ResearchGate really be the Facebook of science?

Can ResearchGate really be the Facebook of science? | Conceiving Of And Responding To New Possibilities... | Scoop.it

I think this is a great example of a platform that's evolving to allow a greater range of people to collaborate and innovate in order to openly advance knowledge and work on the pressing challenges of our time. Developments like this are especially exciting in areas where institutions & commercialization come to resemble obstacles or societal bottlenecks to such work & progress.

And now how about broadening the scope of this platform model to include enabling citizen science efforts in a similar manner?


Thanks to +John Dorner for passing this along.

The 60-year-old political philosopher on the reading, growing up in a Jewish family and the moral limits of markets
Jerry Buchko's insight:

"Philosophy can be debilitating. It demands a critical sensibility, and to try to apply that to everything can be a very disquieting thing – the disquiet is necessary, even if you are unmoored by it."

 

One of my favorite quotes... :)

How Numbers Affect Your Happiness | Conceiving Of And Responding To New Possibilities... | Scoop.it
It's pretty clear that money can't buy you happiness, and generally speaking we're pretty bad at predicting what else will. If you've ever wondered exactly why that is, the BBC takes a look at how numbers change our expectations.

Making distributed teams feel local
Jerry Buchko's insight:

Here's an example of how even a relatively crude, 2D virtual construct can invoke a sense of shared space for distributed teams. How much richer an immersive experience both aesthetically and functionally would a 3D environment be... especially if you didn't have to recreate a cubicle farm office setting for people to inhabit. ;D

Stewart Lansley ~ The Inequality Crisis

Jerry Buchko's insight:

This audio podcast is about 49 minutes long and it was well worth the investment in time & attention: http://www.thersa.org/__data/assets/file/0019/1017208/20130221StewartLansley.mp3 ;

Stewart Lansley examines the data and what it suggests about the doctrine that holds inequality as a necessary condition for economic progress. A clear & careful analysis, along with an excellent Q&A session where he thoughtfully - and I think effectively - fields responses from critical audience members in a way that helped to advance the discussion.

You can also see the slides of the data he cites via the shorter, edited video of the highlights from his talk here: http://www.thersa.org/events/video/vision-videos/the-inequality-crisis

Good stuff!

Jerry Buchko's insight:
A very cool & thought provoking thesis video presentation. It explores the possibilities when the digital emerges even more into grounded reality via the interaction between augmented reality & architectural space. In the meantime, these are also some really great ideas that can be explored in the design & creation of immersive, virtual coworking & other community spaces.
