Quotes

"Dialogue is mutual search for a new reality, not debate to win with stronger arguments. In a dialogue propositions are pointers toward a common new reality; not against each other to win a verbal battle, but complementing each other in an effort to accommodate legitimate goals of all parties, inspired by theories and values, and constructive-creative-concrete enough to become a causa finalis". Galtuung


"I use the concept of affect as away of talking about a margin of manouverability, the 'where we might be able to go' and 'what we might be able to do' in every present situation. I guess 'affect' is a word I use for 'hope': Massumi


"A discourse is a system of words, actions, rules, beliefs, and institutions that share common values. Particular discourses sustain particular worldviews. We might even think of a discourse as a worldview in action. Discourses tend to be invisible--taken for granted as part of the fabric of reality."Fairclough


Emergence is “the principle that entities exhibit properties which are meaningful only when attributed to the whole, not to its parts.” Checkland


"What the designer cares about is whether the user perceives that some action is possible (or in the case of perceived non-affordances, not possible)." Norman

Occupation Games and Inclusion

A game has been constru(c)ted...

There is a (g)ame being p(;)ayed
The game is an abstract system 
Those who can play it bond with others   who can play and win
Those who cant are excluded
But the game ultimately, is not able to survive by excluding the natural
Which everyone is...
Yet some believe the game can only survive by exclusion as this strengthens the bond of the (winning) players?

The game is rewarding people by its own metric
It is not natural
Based on the production and reproduction of the game itself
Lang(gu)ae is part of the (g)ame
Money is p(a)rt of the game
Extending( complexityis) part of the game
(Unsustainabilityof) production and hence its sustainable reproduction is part of thegame

The inclusive winning of the (g)ame cannot be achieved in terms of the game
It's not just a clever word game, (an exclusive one)
Althouh part of it has been turned into one
For the reasons stated above

The mind wants to?is trained to exclude and identify patterns that fit..
From a backgtound of noise
THe 'noi9se' is excluded
A subtle process
Of exclusion
An identification
At the root

Once that process, of appling a filter to the layers of undefined complexity
HAs been bypassed/'completed',
Thinking comparison and classification can begin.

Here I  (experiment) with not correcting my (m(i)stakes)
I bracket them
As to correct them would be to assume I know
Where the quality lies (Which is 'best) (the mistake or correction)
An exclude the other...

The (self-similar) source of quality...love
 the present ground
the inclusive natural
was this excluded?


(I am not even sure there is time for us to rely on the (competitive) egoism of individual academic papers and blogs any more)
