Cat herding comes to mind.
Some examples:
-
Maybe looking at our use of terms, #socialweb, the is no criticism in this term, a bad choice, better the native openweb combined by the clarification of #4opens which is a path to activism that has power to balance the “common sense” #mainstreaming mess that orgs like the #SWF will have to try and balence and mediate.
-
This is a question of balance as open means open, that is open to corporations and grassroot paths. #FOSS is the foundation of all corporate stacks, the is value in this https://hamishcampbell.com/?s=FOSS this value is “invisible” to meany people as it is political and social rather than technical, which “cats” can’t see, the problem is It’s hard to talk about this https://hamishcampbell.com/?s=geekproblem
BUT the fundament block, on this grassroots path and this space, is we have cats.
When the cats, being cats, did not build native “governance”
The grown up humans stepped in and imposed this. The #NGO “humans” pet the cats and say we will look after you, the cats might get bowls of food and fresh water. kitty kitty cat mewwww.
HINT we live in the era of #climatechaos we need (grassroots) human solutions not cat behaver, can we be human and talk about the mess we made.
