How Do We Scale Meaning
You don't scale meaning by putting an IRC chat window on the presentation screen during your talk. You ablate meaning.

Hosted by Kevin Marks and Mary Hodder. Kevin is making the case for why we have centralized top-down control in communications. There are just too many voices.
Kevin suggests that we are now at group participation with aggregation pulling it all together. He then goes into a brief history of publication across the ages, and that is the meat of the talk. The problem with this talk is that the question is too diffuse. A talk focused on the frontiers of aggregation vs. an attempt at publication history in five minutes would have been better. There is an irritating chat window on the screen that is leading to a discussion of why the chat window is on the screen.
