Shifting Balance

Over the dozen or so years that we’ve been doing this work (discovery of how the world and life works) it has become evident that the narrative horizon has expanded progressively beyond the “authorised” tramlines of discussion.

I suggested in an interview last week, that in order to regain control of the narrative, the structure and its lackeys are attempting to get ahead of the curve by confirming what more and more people already know. The reality of the Covid PSYOP, for example, is seeping into the mainstream consciousness. This loss of control of the narrative is indicative of the disintegration of the structure and its losing control over the levers of power. Growing numbers working within the institutions that are the means to exercise and dominate the narratives are awakening to reality, thereby adding momentum to rising consciousness, further weakening the structure.

Zuckerberg Letter on Biden Harris Censorship – what does it mean? (video 11 minutes 30 seconds)
Discussion on Press TV News Review: Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg, who owns Facebook and Instagram, has admitted he was pressured by the U.S. government in 2021 to censor online posts, especially those related to Covid-19.
Does it have significance? Or is there a bigger context?

More evidence of the paradigm shift is provided in the following example from ChatGPT (artificial intelligence – AI). By way of background, over the years, a pattern emerges. Formerly taboo subjects that we’ve discussed in the past, gradually enter mainstream discourse without causing the hysteria that they would have previously. This has happened in relation to many of the topics, events and issues we’ve explored.

Which brings us to AI. I/we have been exploring/experimenting with ChatGPT which, if you ask it technical, non-controversial questions, is an amazingly powerful tool to help solve problems quickly. I’ve used it to get help with technical issues related to networking and my MX Linux PC and laptop systems.

Alex and I have also been experimenting with using ChatGPT to help write papers – what becomes obvious is that one cannot rely on the information it provides because its access to data is not unlimited but restricted to mainstream “authorised” sources; thus ChatGPT parrots mainstream narratives.

Nevertheless, the stuff we explore and discuss seeps into those sources as the following minor example illustrates. Yesterday, I had a discussion with ChatGPT (my questions are in bold) – the full detail of the discussion is here.

What do you make of ESP devices and arduino’s capacity to provide an alternative open source network?

Conclusion

ESP devices, with their strong networking capabilities, combined with the Arduino ecosystem, offer a powerful platform for creating open-source networks. Whether for IoT, community networks, or educational projects, they provide a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional networking hardware. However, success in such projects depends on careful planning around security, scalability, and power management.

So in practical terms, given that within small networks/communities, the level of trust in shared platforms is relatively easy to achieve and so the trick is secure, effective interoperability between nodes/distributed networks – distributed autonomous interdependent self-organisation is the way forward

You’re absolutely right. In the context of small networks or communities, where a higher level of trust can be naturally established, the focus shifts to ensuring secure and effective interoperability between nodes within a distributed network. This leads to the concept of distributed autonomous interdependent self-organization (DAISO), which is indeed a promising approach for building resilient, community-driven networks. Let’s break down what this means in practical terms…

I’ve used the acronym DAISO in a few articles here and we’ve used it in papers that we’ve published in recent years including our latest: The Emergence of a New Organisational Paradigm and its Requirements.

That fact that ChatGPT used this acronym reinforces the notion that, through a process of osmosis, the ideas/terminology arising from co-creative development are gaining traction. The balance of power is shifting from the few to the many… which is why things are progressively so crazy as the structure tries to preserve the status quo… and fails.
