Seeing One’s SELF Has Now Become a Data Reality of Its Own

This commentary was ignited by the New Scientist article on Life-Logging (Gordon Bell) and Self-Quantification movements, their associated technologies, and psycho-social personal and cultural shifts. 

The article title and link: Total recall: Data diaries explain who you really are” http://bit.ly/e9ddTz

After you get the gist of this article, or are fully aware of this new marketplace and its varied and significant implications, consider the following.

Digital Data and the Mirroring of Our Evolving SELF (Danny Rozin's Weave Mirror - http://www.smoothware.com/danny/)

The next phase of all this will concern micro – within a single lifetime – “evolution’; and the acceleration of the quality of human synergies Local2Global that will manifest naturally and in parallel – a certain flattening of those 6-degrees of separation and a shift in human productivity.

The missing, shift catalyzing, link is a human evolutionary-ontology that operates equally within and for individuals and human collectives thereof.

This is the work (product systems) I hope to get out… before that micro evolutionary phase called “my lifetime” is over. Links re: facets of those self-evolutionary or evolutionary-technology apps and product systems: https://imonad.wordpress.com/2009/07/15/weme-metrics/ and https://imonad.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/job-posting_-iso-ah-ha-application-suite-development-team-social-networking/

From cortical Glia cell and dendridic networks to cloud models

The collective of psycho-socially focused clouds will simply act as cognitive and even meta-cognitive (2025-ish), mirrors of our minds over time… of our Self.

Predictive behavioral, and all else associated with it, thinking will naturally migrate to predictive perception and predictive cognition thinking. (Paradigm movements are illustrated and even predicted by linguistic (cognitive) transitions.)

 

We will all have our own PI clouds… and our cloud data storage needs will be at least an order of magnitude greater than what is currently projected (that we now think we need) for the next 3-5 years. We are going to see a generally unexpected and unheard of expansion on multiple IT hardware fronts.

Real-Time and Comparable Hu-Self-Representation via Nested Toroids

 

I have documented that the representation of our YOUnique human Self and Hu-Systems thereof can be accomplished visually and in real-time using nth-dimensionally nested toroids (which you can see on my blog if you’re curious). The data that auto-generates these dynamic visual representations are a facet of the above referred to “product systems.”

The market’s psychological – and then behavioral – shift will begin to take affect once we (that micro-mass of first adopters) come…to realize that our “Self” (the who-what-how-where/when-why of the individual) historically is not, for most of us, the Self that we, as uniquely disposed individuals, were innately and naturally born to be and become…

…this is when things will go from the now emerged and highly niche life-logging and Self-Quantification paradigm to the Self-Evolution and, significantly more highly productive, Hu-Synergistic paradigm.

IMO… the paradigm shift from “Self-Quant” and Self-representational marketplace to an Human-Evolutionary marketplace will cross over, from one side to the other, in the next 5-10 years with the shift itself, if I’m lucky, occurring around 2012/13.

Self-Quant to Self-Evolution Crossroads

The shift will be seen merely as a new way of looking at the whole of our PI behavioral data with another new set of associated apps and tech indicating the break-through of the evolutionary paradigm. I look forward to the possibility of supplying the most critical these shift-catalyzing app-systems.

Between 1986 and 1994 I formulated a plan that saw this process taking 3-generations to fully unfold in the global marketplace. 

(See G.E.T.TheVision – a Plan-of-Plans: https://imonad.wordpress.com/2009/07/31/g-e-t-the-vision-defined/  and https://imonad.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/future-connecting-our-younique-ah-has-and-path-of-ah-has/)

So, IMO, we are looking at a timeline – for those not shaking their heads but open to such a probability for full social (read: market) involvement in “Self-Evolutionary” thought and behavior – to occur in and around 2050….

And “Yes.” one of these behavior shifts includes one’s pocketbook… just like it does now for those in this proven now emergent niche market of life-logging, et al, who are right now buying one of hundreds of personal psycho-bio sensors and life-logging tech and apps; having this new domain of PI data manually (at the moment) and auto-uploaded (for some of the apps) to a newer class of socnet spaces and connecting to others around the world in more “conscious” fashion there.

Critical Balance: The Coming Convergence of Two Complementary Emergent Movements

Further (and finally) this for me is the natural balancing that one might envision is needed between the (some form of) Tech-Singularity movement with a now just-emerging Human-Singularity movement.

It makes perfect sense to me to look at a form of accelerated human evolution (via accelerated and quantified Self-awareness and the concomitant spread of human synergies) as the needed balance to accelerated technological evolution.

Self Data Ownership – How It Relates To Living Our Life-Purpose

The following text is a “Reply” at the LinkedIn Discussion Group: Data Ownership In The Cloud.  I started this particular discussion titled: ““Give Me My Data Back!” or “I want to SEE My SELF, so give me my data back, please.” in November 2009 and it produced a lively discussion. Today some one mentioned I mis-framed my question and so I re-enter the collegial fray…  

Digital Data and the Mirroring of Our Evolving SELF (Danny Rosin's Weave Mirror http://www.smoothware.com/danny/)

 Hello Robin,

Re:  The message that got lost in the framing… allow me to reframe.

My originating presentation is simply about the most fundamental learning and development needs (conscious or not and beyond food, water and shelter) of individual Hu-users – as uniquely gifted and disposed individuals – each with DNA-based, gift-driven “life-probabilities” as a unique “Self” – and how online data (both behavioral and future cognitive and derived meta-cognitive patterning) about each of us can be used BY each of us AND FOR each of us for the explicit purpose of better Seeing, and therein coming to better Know, our innate and natural and potent human Self.

… then the piece went on about what we could do (technologically) to obtain all that Self-data and to ultimately be the holders of the optimal aggregate of that data concerning each of our “data-pictured” Self’s.

If someone else has data about us then why not have that data for us, for the education, mirroring, reflection and the active development of our YOUnique Self…

I am not interested in the unfolding and fighting around current or future Data-Ownership Law – that fight is for all those complementary other Hu-Beings that are gifted and living on-purpose in that world – I am interesting in human and healthier human-systems evolution – in assisting people is seeing and living their lives in a way that is aligned with their innate and natural gifts and dispositions – Gift-driven Autopoietics.

I am fairly certain we will develop data-acq tools for the user to start generating aggregate data acquisition streams and then to compile and be enabled to analyze that query-able “Self-db” and to then become the owners of the most complete Self-behavioral and cognitive “moving-picture” as a “consumer.”

It might be at this point that corp-world asks for, and then pays us for (if we chose to give it up) what they are missing – fuller continuity and a “more whole” picture of the new Us, the autopoietic Us-er.

Many “others” are gathering data-chunk(s) of us but, as individual users as (conscious or not) originators of our own perceptions, memories and resultant actions-as-behaviors we are (or should/can be) in the best position to pull together over time, day-by-day, the very best aggregate picture of ourselves… as we change, and more importantly as we might evolve (or not).

It can only begin the moment that the management our own personal Self-Evolution has value – as that moment each of can see the value of Self-Data collection as a first step in managing our own evolution.

My work is about using that moving-picture in a manner that provides users-as-individuals an evolving measure and moving benchmark of their Self.

You can’t manage what you can’t measure, right.

We can’t change a Self we cannot see. We cannot see our gifts and how we might optimally “BE in life” if we first cannot first see our evolving “Self’s” as we are from one day, week and month to the next (and be fully embarrassed by our personal data-film)

Self-Data acquisition is an interdependent piece of larger whole for me. You can see a facet of this bigger chunk at https://imonad.wordpress.com , my Ecology-of-Mind Blog.

All this chatter conjoins with a number of other parallel, synergetic and emergent human social movements going on such as the new area of Self-Quantification (See Meetup.com groups with that name).

It is only through knowing one’s Innate Self that we can live the “Why” of our lives, why we are here in the first place – living in “significant service” to the world and living On-Purpose through our most potent gift-founded Self.

Cheers to all,
Brian

Proofs and Instantiations of the Next Tsunami – The Human Evolution Revolution!

Proofs in Topology… The Self as a Younique and Comparable Nested Toroid

I am just starting this “The EvoRevo Is Coming!” vision-proof-list” and will attempt to fill it up with more supporting examples.

I have many, many logical (and not so logical but compelling in their own way) instantiations Ican point to and say, “There, you see that! That shows you that it is going to happen for sure!! ” …. and these moments, events, articulated social movements I will be adding are taken from way back in time to more recent social, technological, business and scientific movements and correlated events.

Now… you may have to know a bit about my work to get the drift-design of the following but maybe the bullets will form their own quirky, embracing logic for you… the younique viewer. If the quirky design logic does not emerge for you then there is more than enough backgound materials here to fill in the needed gaps. Sorry, but the chapters of the book are disconnected to a degree or two.

Why? And So What?

Well, if I die and my life-work does not get out there and into the minds of the masses, or an ever growing niche, and do its positive and transformative “thing”, then I would like it to be know that at least I knew something of significance… that at least I had a meaningful original thought.

Please do not hesitate to share/comment on your own “proof” events or movements that support the emergence of this social and technological evolution – this movement towards the discovery and intentional living of our natural human and truly “YOUnique Self(s)” as borne from our innate gifts and dispositions, and that inherently connected movement of coming to best know and live our Purpose,  our life-work, through that gift-aligned and most healthfully and naturally motivated Self.

It has been, and will continue to always be about “distinction” and what makes one thing unique from another. It will also always be about alignment and identification. What will evolve and change is the nature of the alignment and the basis for it… and the consumer and business expenditures controlled by it.

The quality of human and human systesm synergy is controlled by the quality of the “fit”
…or the fit-ness of the human connection.
The Qualty of fit-ness is based on the quality of natural uniqueness.

• Oprah brings an author on her show in late 2008 who has written a book on, guess what, aha’s!  This episode of her show creates such a positive stir with her viewers that Oprah adds the “aha” feature to her shows website… she creates a web space for people to record their “big aha’s”… this becomes a huge success.

then…

• Mutual of Omaha sues Oprah and vice versus in early 2009 over ownership of the phrase “aha-moment” www.ahamoment.com
• The word “Flo” becomes part of the global consumer lexicon in and around 2000.
  • A LeToonz character and a variable in the EvoReVo process model/ontology

• Calvin Klein does a “Be It” brand advertizing spot campaign.
• Nike does “Do It” but we had it first… www.letoonz.com… what can ya’ do…

But there’s more to come as the variables listed, the LeToonz characters-as-variables, are seen as a whole; as an human and human systems evolutionary process-model.  So far the rest of the world see’s them a isolated pieces… If history is any indication this will change too.
