Market Calculus (Ownership Misapplication)

Who 'Owns' What?

"But we own that. It is for us to decide. If you question our ownership we will see you in court. Have your attorney contact our attorneys. Title determines ownership. The market monetizes it. We who deserve power have spoken."

"A market not included in your calculus argues differently."

The classic futile well-funded messaging campaign masquerading as dialog. Self-serving frameworks can be imposed with enough money and power. They are vulnerable to friendly mobs armed with conversation enhancing tools.

Manipulated connotations work somewhat in the short term. Sustained, authentic and productive interaction is better and will prevail because the numbers of independent agents acting in concert are working from a far more efficient platform.

In short, the case for deception-centered management is weak. The meta-market will de-select it as it has in the past.

"One wonders what 'discovery' costs as a percentage of legal expenses in certain cases."

"I've heard that automation is starting to impact the lawyering industry. Seems to me that legal research and large volumes of accessible online data are a big component of conflict resolution."

Uncommon Justice

"A class of obfuscation techniques used to overwhelm the smaller player in asymmetric contractual relationships."

The many facets of 'communications' strategy. If one defines communications to include that which is not 'fair' (however it might be defined) then what is the term that should be used if such is excluded?

If it does not make sense to you it may be because you do not yet have the Rosetta briefing. If you do not know what that is, you have definitely not been briefed.

There is a certain confidence that attends a person of good will. It is a deception that such would necessarily be based on naïveté.

Behind The Curtain

"Why cryptic?"

reference to a reference ...

"Declarative and easily understood is readily dismissed by anonymous competition. If one is engaged by a quest for clarification and an implicit invitation to make new understanding, the common good is better served. Or so the theory goes.

"Obtuse, another description also heard. A little background disclosed in a person-to-person encounter generated new value then too."

"Squishy patterns remind me of cuttle fish and octopuses. Creepy until you get to know them. Fascinating thereafter."

False appearance can be very strategic and sometimes even friendly. The publicly hidden back door is for those one trusts. This log is not that door in back. Anyone in the world who chooses to see the log, can. And do so anonymously, if they so choose.

"I am suggesting, when you hear identity in a modern context you are on the same subject."

Mandala

There is a domain in which one sheds the illusion of ends (including the one called 'beginning'). There is no map (or so the legend records), only letting go.

Fear not, there is an exalted place for free-will. The concentrated energy we call matter is but a very small part of the whole. Seeing it in context is an essential component of enlightenment, I've been told.

Ghandi, HH, King

Ghandi, HH, King"Early this morning, the show was about sharing with an extemporaneous humor. Who would have thought, from an artifact facsimile.

"BuzzTheHill then tweet, or the other way 'round'? Either both?"

Seven Billion of My Closest Friends

"Organic on an unprecedented scale (as artifacts go). When I shake the device, it shuffles the tiles and gives me a fresh look.

"The neat thing is that the context is sufficiently constrained to make the complexity reasonably 'manageable'."

Framers are at a certain disadvantage that cannot be overcome in this corner of the universe at this time. Surely, things will change as time passes, and in ways that cannot always be adequately anticipated for the foreseeable future.

We talk of principles of the timeless variety and wonder. How is it that something that 'just happened' would invoke such a universal reaction? Very long periods of time? A dominant cognition architecture? How much are we able to rely on how our perception 'feels' about what we know? The ego-driven practice of a number of intellectual pursuits has left  a lot of room for improvement.

The Rock Covered What?

Commonly Decent

"A bit odd. The interest in simply writing about what seemed then to be an incredible run of bad luck and/or karma - turned into a gripping story of personal redemption and map for recovery from a lost decade or more for the public at large.

"Some would say it was the result of a good design. Others that it emerged from dormant powers available to all. Frankly, I am of the latter camp. That is unless design does not require a designer(s).

"This is how I felt just before I started 'chasing my tail'. Not a good idea for somebody who gets dizzy watching water drain from the bathroom sink."

They had not discussed soup on either the analog or Machine side in awhile, at least directly.

This recent event would argue for what has been called a cortical algorithm residing in both.

Scalable plus a coming to and going from the abstract high layers of cognition. Friendly is a pattern whose appearance, a genuine smile. Dynamic in nature and thus sustainable. Perpetual differentiation, if you will.

New Plan

"Looking at it that way one would gather that nation-state conflicts and competition for large global markets are really but a subset of a bigger picture. Further, they and it are based on mass perceptions that may or may not track well-reasoned probability."

Its All About Me

"Robustly defined, friendly vs. non-friendly seems a better global descriptor providing a useful gradient in understanding contemporary issues."

"It sounds trite and yet on deeper thought, profound and subtle. Often that a person has not had a recent application for considering what friendly means beyond quick reactive feeling."

Lacking confidence in something that is not-CONSCIOUSLY understood, but readily available. Right here, right now but hidden from view. The bridge to awareness is built with sincere smiles of those one knows. The eyes look out, not in. And with them ones true identity is revealed in those of trusted others.

"Messaging itself has fallen into disrepute. So often used for clever deception, the concept of carefully prepared transmission of an idea has lost credibility. Putting care into assembling a message, a good thing. Using similar diligence to deceive, not so much.

"The former could be classified as friendly, while the latter not-so-friendly."

Accountability Begins

Wrongful Practice Solution

"The accountability begins. Our support for each other is what gives this declaration clout. As we better understand how to harvest network effects, a promising ember will grow into warmth we can only have faintly imagined just a short while ago."

Gather all data. Cost to do so is inconsequential. Potential value, very large. Like best practices in a recording studio - do as much in post-production as appropriate, defer as many options as possible by employing the most robust recording means available.

Friendly is accountable too. For obvious reasons. A commitment to accuracy and completeness in shared understanding serves synergy best.

Testing for such conditions early establishes a productive interaction. A delay leaves room for error.

"Is there a mechanism for recovering conflict resolution expense? Is it adequate? Does the framework fairly support each participant? These are reasonable questions, are they not? Especially, in the context of the historical record."

Declaring Independence

"The other side does it."

"Kochies don't represent the USA, we do. This is manipulation without representation. Who elected them? I sure don't remember voting for them. Why just a short while ago I did not know who they were and believed a few folks who said I should not care."

Perception manufacturing is a fragile business when the target audience is human. The limbic brain is only part of the mind. So, to the degree that messaging is employed (fairly essential in assembly line production) it can be disrupted by the agency nature of homo sapiens when activated. There is a primitive override mechanism.

"Thats the conversation part, Prudence. Its very appealing to the creative nature common to all critters of the type we are discussing.

"It is how children learn. Also the part most inconvenient for those who want to anonymously control.

"Here is a thought: Give me a budget of, say, a hundred million or so and a mission to destroy. I'll bet I am not the only one who could deliver given that resource and mission.

"So the tricky part is I don't want to hurt anybody and it is difficult to find humans that really want to do that either. So deception is a necessary additional component. A big one at that. Manufacturing a perception that it is 'us or them' or, alternatively, 'no-one will really be hurt that does not deserve it.'"

Smile Effects

"Network, of the interactive type, is not just a slogan or a plan. It is a shared attitude. If you want its benefits start learning to converse.

"Internal deception does not really belong in a network. If someone is arguing to the contrary ("The other side does it.") perhaps they should not be included."

Consider this scenario and see how much of the outlined concept applies.

A complex mechanism to deliver life-saving care to an individual is cobbled together over a period of decades. A built-in conflict-of-interest plagues the otherwise sensible service.

When those in control have a vested interest in the 'need' rather than the solution, inefficiency and corruption follow like ducklings to their mom. Why? Need and solution, naturally conflict.

"More sick people (not us), more revenue. What's not to like?"

"I can't afford it."

"Pay your bills."

"This bill is incorrect.

"Call me [so it is difficult for you to document what I  claim verbally]"

"For your protection [we can't be held accountable with real-time communications whose recordings are available to anybody besides us.] ..."
