From the site: "How does Fluther know what I know? One of the neat things about Fluther is we route questions to the people we think will answer them. Here’s how we decide what to send to you: we combine the topics in your profile with the way you’ve used the site in the past. The longer and harder you use Fluther, the better it works!" - michael silverton

Hi Michael. Welcome to the collective! Hope you enjoy the site. Feel free to send me any comments. - Ben

In the highly advanced and precise technical #futuretechture vernacular ... "Already Is" == exacta-phucking-lutely. - michael silverton

And yet, can't we get beyond "business applications and how companies are using their understanding of the Internet's brain-like powers to create competitive advantage -- such as building more effective Websites that predict consumer behavior, leverage social media, and create an even larger, collective consciousness." ??? Surely we can do better. - michael silverton

Which is to say, control freaks are likely to have a more difficult time "letting go" in the sense of permitting external data streams to ascend to sensory parity with the 5 organic sense. Lifelong gamers likely to be more adaptively preconditioned. More blips and links on this topic, later. - michael silverton

As we've been ranting upon periodically over the past ten or twelve months http://friendfeed.com/augment... a theme / niche emerging here for Attention Management Tools and Processes. See also http://www.muuter.com/ and http://twittersnooze.com/ - michael silverton

http://www.twalala.com/ is another new entrant for Auto Curation (muting/filtering) from @stshank over on this Tiny Thread http://a.tinythread.com/IklUpGk... Thanks! - michael silverton

Now, I want a single button to instantly follow Collective Cognition Clusters like this one http://www.ihmc.us/users/ - michael silverton

"As the source of the most powerful natural hallucinogen known, salvia is drawing scrutiny from U.S. authorities who want to restrict this Mexican herb, now used recreation­ally by some. But neuro­scientists worry that controlling it before studies have determined its safety profile is premature and could hamper research of the drug's medicinal value. Increasingly, evidence is piling up that it could lead to new and safer anti­depressants and pain relievers, as well as even help in improving treatments for such mental illnesses as schizophrenia and addiction." - Spaceweaver from Bookmarklet

Awesome article. Eventually, nano-pharma could become the domain that delivers penultimate gains in extended / augmented cognition. Electrodes to the synapse seem like extraordinarily bulky and crude intermediary interfaces; on the other hand, on a nano scale, perhaps it's within bounds to imagine nanowires such as could approach functional equivalence to neurotransmitters. IMO, the tangible experiments born of such speculations are a large part what makes this research area so damned alluring! - michael silverton

Brilliant. Thanks for this, Michael. - michael silverton

Oh, and of course, all of that is Glue'd, WebMynd'd, Interclued, Diigo'd, Cooliris'd, Ubiquity'd, Trailfire'd, and Reframe-It'd. - michael silverton

In Chrome for me, it's Gmail, FF, GReader, Flickr, MeeHive, deviantART and one or two others. Feedly would be one of them if it worked on Chrome. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

"The Blue Brain project represents the most promising effort to date to reverse engineer a human brain. In phase one of this project, completed last year, the team has modelled a rat neocortical column using an IBM Blue Gene supercomputer." Thanks to @joeduck! http://twitter.com/joeduck... - michael silverton

Of course, if you were on the plane or the ferry, this was anything *but* mundane! So glad everyone is safe! - michael silverton

Supersizing the Mind: Embodiment, Action, and Cognitive Extension, by Andy Clark. Thanks to @hrheingold for the pointer! - michael silverton

Hmmm ... sentence should have ended with "in a computer mediated context and he's modeling a type of, and high transactional capacity for augmented social cognition. To the casual observer, this behavior might all seem "trivially chatty" on the surface, but there is much more than meets the eye with these emerging massively parallel multi-channel mediated communications. I suspect that video community matters more than is yet widely recognized." - michael silverton

When we feel that watching the game has become EMPTY without the ability to collectively think out loud and interact in real time. - michael silverton

Talk radio is a perfect partner to generate High Velocity tweetstreams to catalyze emulated cognition streams. - michael silverton
