In Museums and the Interpretation of Visual Culture , Eilean Hooper-Greenhill documents how museum work “has involved the establishment of a canon” through which order is created “by giving authority to certain texts, figures, ideas, problems, discursive strategies and historical narratives” (Hooper-Greenhill, 2000b, 20). This process of “boundary... See more

“Life runs on sunlight. Life rewards cooperation. Life builds from the bottom up. Life banks on diversity. Life recycles everything. Life builds resilience through diversity, decentralization, and redundancy. Life optimizes rather than maximizes. Life selects for the good of the whole system. In short, life creates the conditions conducive to... See more

Curiosity creates the inquiry.
Knowledge populates the options.
Curation filters the right ones through.
Judgment makes the final call.
When knowledge becomes abundant, value migrates to the functions that exist upstream and downstream from it: framing the inquiry and acting on the output.
In this new architecture, curiosity, curation, and judgment... See more

Those who can extract meaning, connect dots across domains, and make wise decisions despite uncertainty are more likely to thrive.
Michael Simmons • Information Singularity: What Happens When Even AI Experts Can't Keep Up With AI
Subsequent research by Gerstgrasser and colleagues at Stanford and MIT (arXiv:2404.01413) provides important qualification: model collapse is not inevitable if synthetic data accumulates alongside real data rather than replacing it. The pathological scenario assumes complete substitution—thoughtful data curation can prevent the worst outcomes.
Substack • The Cognitive Collapse Thesis: How Polluted Information Loops Are Degrading Both Machine and Human Intelligence—And What It Means for Capital, Power, and Civilization
It’s happening in the background, away from performance, away from the algorithm. Rather than worrying about audience, these are intimacy tools.The most powerful cultural spaces right now are ones you can’t search for. You’re invited in, or you miss it.We spent a decade learning how to go viral. Now, the clever ones are learning how to go quiet.

This is the new cultural infrastructure. It is lo-fi, discreet, decentralised.
Lessons for Managing Today's Overwhelm:
History shows that successful adaptation requires taking active control of information filters rather than passively accepting them. Just as Renaissance scholars developed personal commonplace books to organize knowledge, and early internet users created bookmarking systems before Google dominated search, we... See more
