Get ready for constant voting. If you don’t know what I’m talking about… where he hell have you been?

It’s referred to as 2.0, pronounced ‘two point oh‘, and that’s rather apt if you catch the onomatopoeic allusion, be it imaginary or not, implying a certain degree of cognition. The cognition that happens in 2.0 is the focusing on distributed intelligence.

And it’s the long suffering wet dream of democracy.

From the Foucaultion perspective it seems to contain some important issues.

For starters everything is going to get even more relative. Boundaries will increasingly, exponentially increasingly blur. Power is not object like, it may have almost mechanical properties, but its essence is very much liquid – to the point of almost pure- or absolute-abstraction.

Power lies inside the order and systems which in turn lies on a network of relations. People, machines, intentions, events, situations, etc. they are al networks of networks – indefinitely, recursively, inconceivably complex. As Wilbur would put it, all the way up, and all the way down.

Of course all of this is also only a substrate to be navigated, a really tight canvas to be developed.

And you’ll have just a bit more say in the matter, if and when you vote where it counts.
