holden – INTERTEXTrEVOLUTION

Hoping to get this grant: https://checkoutmydomain.glitch.me. Switching theory perspective to Deweyian idea of Democracy as Experiencing and not governing. The library was the node of network past and should be of network present.

Some thoughts on these findings and #misinfolit. First, #3 is pretty important: "Sixty-five percent of fake and conspiracy news links during the election went to just the 10 largest sites." https://t.co/4WjmtVqvwy

Answer to #3 simple solution for educators. Need to be models where our networks aren’t built on silos of others but are intentionally designed. You don’t know how truth is shaped online until you shape your own. Give a kid a url and blog.

There's this sort of fatalism that often pervades the misinfo community. To put it in my driving analogy, there are so many people out there who say "How can we reduce driving accidents when the human mind is so fallible? Humans developed to go a maximum speed of 13mph!"

Agree and how do we keep kids in line when learning to drive? A community watches out.

This why I don’t believe that decentralization will sove this problem. I am more for the hyper local web. Let’s empower local news and libraries.

That's probably not charitable. But that's how it feels sometimes. And then there are others who say to stop driving accidents we need to give drivers deep knowledge of the routes through communities, the history of roads, etc.

Ahh the white paper crowd and standards boards that turn into committees that turn into competing standards boards.
