“@rotanarotana: On developing a ‘bi-literate’ brain for switching from

Practicing slow reading and using printernet can help us to notice
our feelings and sense patterns in our experience.
“Writing itself becomes a form of mapmaking, as Ferris Jabr notes
in a recent article in The New Yorker:
http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/walking-helps-us-think
Developing a bi-literate brain
and map making
But as Brian Solis noticed: “information
overload is a symptom of our desire to not
focus on what’s important in the moment. It
is a choice.”

“Ideas are like cities: once they are
started they keep on building themselves,
accumulating incongruous layers over
the years to form a complexe texture
ressembling organic matter.”
— Michel Gondry, You’ll Like This Film Because You’re In It.
For me, exploring, map making,
wandering, ambling, rambling, walking,
navigating the knowledge flows, all
these activities have to do with being on
the edge and learning limitless.
Everything is changing and
it’s down to us to draw the
map, not from on high but as
we tramp through the mud.
“The maps themselves are constantly transforming. We have to keep retuning,
exercising our sense-making skills not only to guide others but ourselves too.” — Richard Martin http://indalogenesis.com/2014/09/19/maps/
— Julian Stodd, The Social Leadership Handbook: Launching
Today
“The wandering and curiosity of the flâneur. The
pattern recognition and sense-making capabilities of
the detective. These are good habits, useful skills to
have as awareness of the digital era develops." — Richard Martin

How To Be Creative
“One must give pause — a lot of space — in a
conversation with little
ones to hear their slow
to share thoughts.”
http://youtu.be/weIQIthC3Ks
Creativity is sometimes easier
than we are made to believe. Mull
in the long now is the secret.

“@ddrrnt: @rotanarotana @toughLoveforx In #nemetics, synchrodipity happens when our nodal frequencies align in the wirearchy, waves of mind sync up.”
https://twitter.com/ddrrnt/status/525389918915145728
Dibyendu De: When we go to a concert we hear different musicians
playing different instruments and can easily distinguish one from the
other. But this not what is happening in reality. In reality all the
waves from different instruments combine by superimposing
them selves on one another to produce a single wave.

I think that creativity and
staying connected to the
Zeitgeist are nurtured by steady
drips of shared emotions and
meaning making with our
global PMNs [Personal Meaning
Networks].
Often that leads to a conversation. Over time those
connections help us understand each other.
This is a question that I asked, inspired by wisdom shared by
Estelle Metayer (https://twitter.com/Competia) in her great video
interview. https://pmrks.com/DVJ3vg
“The Power of Pull”,
(http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003LTOJC2) [a] terrific

we make a connection.

How do you go fast and slow for navigating the knowledge flows?
https://medium.com/@rotanarotana/how-do-you-go-fast-andslow-for-navigating-the-knowledge-flows-61a528afbf91
It's not about push or pull,
Abandon Stocks,
Embrace Flows

and I tweet back at you in close to real time,

from thoughts,

How do we stay connected to the Zeitgeist?
Embracing diversity of
ideas, people and
human activities in life.
“@JenniferSertl: It is no longer country v. country or
city v. city; today, ideas are countries ~ @futuristpaul

We make maps to reduce information overload?
Perhaps by making map art like Christine Martell.
http://www.christinemartell.com/
map making is about growing and meaning making together.
“You need diversity for serendipity. Serendipity leads to new ideas and is
shaped through “weak ties.” Weak ties are relationships you have with people
that bridge different groups outside your domain expertise. Weak ties provide the
bridges for innovation.” — Angela Dunn https://pmrks.com/XFGR7w
Learning Walks
“Where we see weeds, a
child sees only flowers. See
through a child’s eyes.”
Michael Josefowicz: “The phrase
“neurons that fire together, wire together”
is now commonly accepted by neuro scientists. We nemeticians have
appropriated that metaphor in the service of clarifying the mechanisms
of complexity in real life.

Well understood that creativity is the ability to recombine,
manipulate, morph and move. Creativity can be taught.
