This is my first article in the OrgasmoVolution blog, and I thought that I should explain what this term means. That was a couple of weeks ago and since the words weren't coming that would do justice to the concept I thought it might help if I approached this step by step and supply some related concepts first. The OrgasmoVolution will not happen on the first date.
Not to worry, I have no doubt in my desire for achieving that objective, and it is ubiquitously entwined with my every thought.
Communications is the foundation, and the lens through which I view the world and history. When you have a hammer everything looks like a nail, and with communications theory everything looks like it is part of the process of evolving communication structures to handle ever higher degree of complexity. Where a mechanical world looks at cause and effect billiard ball type reactions, the communications world looks like an exchange of messages with objects acting on their own initiative. Every piece of information exchange is a communication. Even the little puff of dust at the bottom of the cliff is the earth telling Wiley E. Coyote that it is time to stop falling. Everything is a communication.
All of the other worldviews and ideologies that I have read about are based on a foundation of power and control. This is the foundation of politics and economics. These are subsets of a higher class, that of communications, which can achieve the objectives of politics and economics, but it has additional powers and capabilities. Communications encapsulates power and economics, to use the computer modeling terms of Object Oriented Design. And the affirmation of the reality is so much more than the design.
Communications is a very broad field: there is the history of communications; organizational communications; rhetoric, persuasion, propaganda and the mass media; social control, literature, culture, mythology and more. From the technical side of software conferences on the world wide web, to the hacking of the collective consciousness through memes influencing the oral narrative plot, it is probably the ideal multi-disciplinary specialty.
I hope that gives you a hint about what this blog is going to be about. I'll get into more details in future articles, and many of these articles will be riffed off of things others bring up in this blog community, as they already have, and why I've decided to make a commitment to settle in here for awhile. And oh yeah, like I said earlier, everything I do is part of this whole OrgasmoVolution project, so this subject will keep popping up.
