I can see a digital panopticon coming up quickly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon Society will then be ready to start shaking things up and let everyone, and everything, fall into place. 'It is not life as we know or understand it.', and certainly not something I'm looking forward to.
What are your thoughts on Assemblage Theory (Manuel DeLanda)? Skip ahead in the playlist and have a look at 'Assembalge Theory and Social Institutions'. For me this is another angle at TIMN that does not reject it nor competes with it. It does give me more breadth of understanding. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCDnb6wW7vsRqMckDLTpCoOGF9h-5y3pJ&feature=shared
For me a backbone of TIMN is how we communicate as human beings. Therefore what we learn, and are going to learn, from zero trust architecture and quantum technology may help us communicate better in a networked way.
'We always know more than we can tell and we will always tell more than we can write down.' Polyani/Dave Snowden
Still, some of the words written down mean more to me than the numerous stories other people send into the world.
This AI generated dialogue based on DeLanda's book: A New Philosophy of Society Assemblage Theory and Social Complexity gives a 45 min summary of the 16+ hour lecture series linked above.
Ah, yes. I have a small folder of and about DeLanda’s writings. His Assemblage Theory (2015) does overlap and bear on my efforts, as these two quotes attest:
“What is an assemblage? It is a multiplicity which is made up of many heterogeneous terms and which establishes liaisons, relations between them, across ages, sexes and reigns – different natures. Thus, the assemblage’s only unity is that of a co-functioning: it is a symbiosis, a ‘sympathy’. It is never filiations which are important, but alliances, alloys; these are not successions, lines of descent, but contagions, epidemics, the wind.” (P. 1)
“A further modification to the original concept is that the parts matched together to form an ensemble are themselves treated as assemblages, equipped with their own parameters, so that at all times we are dealing with assemblages of assemblages.” ( p. 3)
Good insightful stuff. It looks as though I was hoping to write up a comparison years ago. Ay, so many hopes, so little time.
Again, many thanks, Rene. And I see from your YouTube page you've done lots of work on this and related matters.
Many thanks, Nat. Good and encouraging to hear (I need and benefit from encouragement these days). I'm delighted to see we will be gathering anew at HF in couple weeks.
Prompt: The author David Ronfeldt talks about cyberocracy, the noosphere and noopolitics, TIMN (Tribes, institutions, markets, and networks), and people's space/time/action cognitions. Can you peruse his published work and come up with a pithy name for his substack?
Response: Considering David Ronfeldt's extensive work on societal evolution, information-age statecraft, and cognitive frameworks, a fitting title for his Substack could be:
"NooSphere Insights"
This title encapsulates his focus on the noosphere—the realm of human thought—and reflects his analyses of how information and cognition shape modern societies.
Alternatively, "TIMN Perspectives" could highlight his TIMN framework, emphasizing the evolution of societal structures through Tribes, Institutions, Markets, and Networks.
Both titles convey the depth and breadth of Ronfeldt's scholarly contributions.
Thanks again David.

David, I think your observations or spot on. Yuval Harari’s Nexus explores what he called the silicon curtain , the impact of AI on governing systems…
Your work is important to me and so many others.

What about "Dispatches from the Noosphere"? 😉
Hah! I like "Dispatches from the Noosphere" — we'll see. Thanks, Adam.
I also like that one.
