Nodal Point of Thought 2023-12-04
Without an understanding of what is going on around you, you are "just standing there".
Run around and see things for yourself
Gathering Other People's Perspectives
The majority is not the center.
Mean is not median
The average moves only slowly when the majority does not.
The unmoving majority falsely believes they are the median.
Because they don't see what's going on outside the city.
It is a mistake to think of risk on a one-dimensional axis.
nishio People who don't move consider themselves central. And they think the center is safe. However, this is a mental model from the old days when "exploration" was a two-dimensional movement, and the space to be explored is actually a higher dimension. https://gyazo.com/d98d36deef88b2e97e4114f89dd58a66
nishio So, when A, B, and C, who seem to be doing disparate things, get together, they actually find that there is a "common direction Ω" in the arrows they are each going. notice. https://gyazo.com/d63e698796cad920060c13f8f83ad6fb
They become the edge with the belief that "we are not the edge, we are the center, therefore we are safe."
nishio "There is an exploratory space here" type thinking as opposed to "high risk low risk" type thinking. Those who don't move are perceived as "those who don't explore" and are "outside the space" and "those who don't deserve special attention". https://gyazo.com/addbf5b3efcfd0f79b169548c26c9048
The fact that space is of a higher dimension allows this perception to be established.
Some information is widely circulated and some is not.
Information not in circulation is fundamentally more valuable.
When there is an overabundance of information distribution, the value of "attention" information on which to focus increases.
Because Attention is a limited resource.
How do you get information that is not in circulation?
To be perceived by the person who has the information as "sharing information with this person may generate a return"?
Some kind of "trust."
You wouldn't give it to someone who is acting in a self-interested way, "I want the information."
Small start and pay forward?
