With three million blogs all recirculating similiar material it is obvious that it is impossible to read anywhere close to all of it. How does one get a feel for what is significant? How does one sift all of this noise to obtain somekind of coherence from the collective, from the neural snapping of the global brain?

www.DayPop.com may be one way for getting the meta-level overview, and the Burst List which is a tracking of words and phrases that spontaneously appear in multiple sites may be one way to do this.

I wonder how long it will take for Tzolkin keywords to start mapping out their own neural subnet? Identifying the Picadilly Circuses of the virtual world may enable this memeplex to propagate and in turn focus the conscious intent into a more dispersed pattern. You are what you pay attention to, and this can be magnified even more into the collective consciousness. The Mayan Tzolkin calendar provides a schedule that will not only coordinate across distance but also time as well. I wonder how long it will take?

there's a blog or site at this very moment tracking how long it will take.

Perhaps this this could be one of guiding principles for social interactions and a guiding test for self knowlwdge. On the mental domain it could turn gibberish into self and common knowledge, and could well be called the "philosopher's stone".

Istvan you have inspired me to change the subheader on my blog. Yeah, it is an important idea. The Mayans used the name of the day they were born as their first name, this way they were constantly aware of it and so was everybody else in the community, and even if they weren't able to choose the day they were born they would grow into the role regardless. With our Gregorian calendar our focus is on working for five days, spending on Saturday and getting programmed on Sunday with guilt and fear of hell, is it any wonder that we turned out to be the way we are.
