Not a conversational medium

Dave Winer, just said, in Scripting News: “don’t think of this as a conversational medium, and don’t count on everyone hearing you. Use it for thinking out loud, and be happy when people hear you, but don’t expect it.”

Is that blogging, or textcasting? Or the digital realm as a whole? I’ve had some good conversation in simple closed email groups.

But what I appreciate about Dave’s line is that blogging is thinking out loud, I’ve been doing that in my blog for more than 30 years. I’m taking his words as an affirmation that it is worth doing. Thinking out loud, alone.

I should turn off comments as they have done little – but I appreciate that people sub to this blog.  Not quite alone.

Updates

I’ve just added a swag of new reflections about empathy to a post from 2011, Zerka Moreno on Doubling, Tele, inter-psyche, relationship — reflections on a quote by Zerka Moreno.  I’m  learning, decade by decade!!  Click that link to have a look.

Also Updated and added a note to: Working with Couples – September 2023

Fiddled with The invisibility of the structure of human society

This is a post where I edit a quote by Moreno to remove the old sexist language and get to the bones, without loosing the Moreno touch, or one scrap of meaning – I will do more, I tagged this one Moreno-Hemmingway
