Synchronicity

The same day I was in the newspaper this guy took up half the page above me. One of my best friends refused to believe that I did the right thing by insisting the cab driver who was unfair to me take us to the police station. He might be right but this guy above will have a long time to reflect on his actions. I've got some rough posts coming up but either way I wanted to share this with you as it's a dark coincidence and it bothers me a lot.

This is a useful Cross Cultural presentation summary that was brought to my attention. I was struck as ever that on slide 9 the word quality is dimensionalized according to different cultures and yet we are then faced with reading the rest of the presentation and assuming that the language is uniformly understood. Not always a given with the global ubiquity of the internet. A useful presentation never the less.

In itself context collapse is a heavy duty context, but however we approach the meaning of meaning, this Youtube presentation by Professor Michael Wesch of Kansas State University given at the Personal Democracy Forum is essential viewing.
