Wow. I really need to stay at this forum more. One day and already 6 pages of brilliant brainstorming has surged past me.

(sorry, nothing else to say. Actual productive comments to follow)

Holy shit, when did this thread happen?

I need to skip class more often.

Just started today.

LMNO started it.  He thought his Golden Sphere would be somewhat innocuous but it just blew up, in a good way.  I think this lends credence to getting the thoughts out for all to see and add upon, desconstruct, reconstruct, and so on.

... if only people were looking. Damn you apathy of the internet!

Actually, I was referring to those who are already here.  Meaning if someone has an idea they should get it out even if they think it is horseshit.  We'll either agree, or we'll turn it into a new metaphor.

i also think this reinforces the idea that we maybe need a new metaphor.

either stuff blew up because LMNO picked a "brighter metaphor" than BIP, as to shed more light on things
or maybe it blew up just because he picked a new metaphor that provided a new angle to look at things
or maybe it just blew up because it was time to blow up, everybody was there, having a few good ideas, and this thread got sort-of jacked into exploding shit

and all of the above

[LMNO]

All of the above.

Hey, is there a way to print out these threads?  Never mind, found it.



Pamphlet suggestion:  Variations on a theme:  one about BIP, one about Goldens Sphere, one about Interconnecting Cells, one about reality maps (old skool), etc.

[AFK]

I think this is a good idea, especially since it seems that we all have slightly or vastly different views and visualizations of the thing(s).  It can also illustrate, through the variation, that we aren't into rigid dogma.  We're more into exploding and expanding dogma, I think.  As I mentioned in another thread, I'm working on a logic model of how I see things.  Look for it in the next couple of days, or perhaps if work gets too crazy, by early next week.

when you say "put your palms on the sphere" i was imagining touching a bright ball (from the outside) only to realize later in the piece that it was infact describing a sphere from the inside. maybe that should be made a bit clearer from the start?

actually i think thats a great metaphore that should be stressed slightly more so that people would assume that as well, only to understand later that they are within the sphere instead of outside of it.

bumped for SJG cross-posting lulz.

At least one person seems to be getting it.

Want to invite them over?
