... if you want - come in, do not want to - "to the wall!"
The ranks of netocrats are expanding, even if they themselves do not think about it, and even if these followers do not consider themselves to be netocracy.
However, Mr. Verbitsky reports interesting things (see underlined in the quote).
I read the thoughts of Mr. Verbitsky on the tape "Expert".
(1) The optimistic scenario is that blogging creates not only a new media, but also a new kind of equal social relations, and as a result, a new mechanism for making political decisions . An open parliament is like direct democracy of the Athenian and Icelandic type. Technically, such a political mechanism is not difficult to implement now.
(2) It is much more difficult to achieve social consensus, and blogging can help. As a result, we (for the first time in history since the time of Iceland, Athens and Novgorod) will have real democratic rule, instead of a semi-feudal and brainless oligarchy, which depicts democracy, but follows exclusively Parkinson’s laws and negative selection, as a result of which all positions are filled without exception ignoramuses and freaks, the number grows to infinity.
(3) This scenario (conditionally “blog revolution”: the total transparency of all government decisions, down to the smallest, the replacement of bureaucrats by elected volunteers, and representative democracy - direct, forum type) has been asking since the beginning of the 1990s, and all this time it becomes closer and closer. And as a result, not only bureaucrats will be abolished, but also all structures of a similar nature, primarily banks and international corporations; that is, it will be the end of not only bureaucracy, but also of capitalism. By that time, how the similar can be realized in its entirety (in 20-30 years), tangible property will be replaced by “intellectual” by 95-99 percent, which can be canceled by a stroke of the pen.
(4) This will be realized, and as a result, the institution of “money” and “economy” will be abolished, and people will be happy to engage in free creativity, raise children and engage in pedagogy and medicine not from under the stick, but because these activities are interesting and nice.
(5) But the chances of a peaceful implementation of this scenario, of course, are few - too serious forces are interested in continuing the status quo. This, in fact, explains the attempts to buy up bloggers and destroy the blogosphere (the purchase of Livejournal.com by 6 Apart, and the Russian sector of SOUP are completely unique here).
(6) Probably no one specifically made such a decision - "they say that bloggers threaten us with direct democracy and communism, so let's buy them all and pay them money to act like Petrosyan and Parker, and shut our mouths to the rest."
(7) But the system of social relations, like any quasi-stationary system, responds to any process that changes the status quo by trying to extinguish and destroy this process. Therefore, one should expect repression against bloggers and blogging as a free and independent movement and be prepared for them . In Russia, they have already begun - several people are judged for speaking on the forums, the blogger Stomakhin was sentenced to five years and broke his spine.
(8) It would be most reasonable to do something with the functionality of livejournal.com, but distributed and duplicated over the Web to avoid repression. We developed something similar, in terms of terms of reference and documentation, and not only we, I think, the idea is in the air. A revolution is inevitable.
And this is what I myself think ...
(1) And where does equality come from? In an intelligent environment, it’s much harder to measure who you are. In the material world, much can be arbitrarily measured with money - Vasya has a million, but Petya has a half-yard, so Petya is better, and Vasya is dumb. And then Vasya has a blog, and Petya has a blog, and they both read and comment - and how to measure?
And as for the mechanism - I completely agree. It's time to replace the old rusty “monkey hierarchy”, proudly called democracy, with a normal solution to problems, and Network 2.0 is a good tool for this. And this is the first step on the way to grid society, since without the effective distribution of intellectual resources, mankind can manage to destroy itself before it reaches the desired concentration of nanotechnology necessary for the model of grid society considered.
(3) I already wrote about this :) under the impression of Bard. It is in this and sees the next round, and all used on lshaya virtualization of money - one of the symptoms of this indirect process.
(4) A generation with at least 50% of such people still needs to be educated ...
(7) Therefore, it is time to look for effective defense mechanisms. Social networks, in principle, can be adjusted to help ensure the safety of prominent figures in the blogosphere.
(8) It is not a matter of distribution; it is enough. The fact is that in the event of a “collision”, bloggers can speak out in real life : connect their ties with political figures of all levels, capital, organize some kind of action, up to strikes and acts of civil disobedience. Revolution means revolution.
And just blogging bastards - it will not be enough ... Or
else it will be, oh-oh-oh-oh ...
