Notes

Discoverability of ‘content’ and topic linking
Inspirations, direct source, op, citation and making the route through a thought process / across the Internet more explicit.
product/service discoverability prioritised over thought/idea/movement (and even that still inadequate due to competition of sellers over customer need)
fostering collaboration, sharing methods and processes, encouraging peer review and replication whilst reducing redundant labour

frameworks for thinking and reasoning
tech standardisation, instruction manuals
guides, tutorials, walk-throughs, support
microcosms of expertise
lost arts and crafts
heritage preservation for ephemeral things
reverse engineering and lost blueprints
remastering, preservation, and similar
replicated procedure, scientific methods
alterations and divergences on process
feedback loops
Generative AI becoming a curator of human methods and processes (eg searching how to x and assembling forum responses) and how that should at least be more explicit and sourced

a collaborative whole, scientific inquiry and multi-perspective, the practice of wiki-building and creating knowledge, intersubjectivity

shared views of entity, of process, of goal

we all are ultimately one subject, have one perspective
the only reliable measures are intersubjective, combinatory of our fragments
peer review is most reliable form of data as it produces emergent, convergent knowledge

“In the phenomenological approach he describes in Being and Time, Heidegger distinguishes between Da-sein, being in the world, and Mitda-sein, the state of being-together-in-the-world” ⤴️
“In discussing how we arrive at consensus, Habermas writes of “linguistically generated intersubjectivity,” the use of language to create a subject that is not the self, but subjectivity shared with others” ⤴️ ^d8a97a
“Luhmann, in Social Systems, argues that people are not society, but parts of its environment” ⤴️
“whenever people are collaborating on a project of knowledge sharing or creative production, they are collaborating not only with other people, but with a system which they, the other participants, and the communicative environment help to create.” ⤴️
“In networked computer environments in particular, collaboration is always both collaboration with other people and with systems.” ⤴️

on inadequate search and discovery
Google search, highlighted questions/answers, Gemini
forum format and how it suits the majority of what people want to know — mixing expert knowledge and lived experience and best guesses and varying opinions
adding ‘reddit’ mostly provides more useful answers at present
FAQs, common questions and common answers, routing queries
