As more systems at work and at large are in flux, GENERATIVITY as well as REST become critical to support the deconstruction process. Breaking down the old, picking at things we don't like, judging, and complaining are easy. But being a true leader for change means that you have the sovereignty, the maturity, the spaciousness, and the ENCOURAGEMENT to create the new; take what resonates and leave the rest behind.

This openness leads to "#generativity," the ability of follow-on creators and inventors to make new things based on existing things.
Generativity is the heart of the early explosive growth of the internet. From "#ViewSource" teaching millions of us to make the web to the #LAMP stack (#Linux, #Apache, #Mysql and #python/#perl) forming the substrate for billions of projects, the generative internet was - and is - the creative internet.

"#Schizophrenia is a serious #mental disorder in which people interpret #reality abnormally. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and *extremely disordered thinking* and behavior that impairs daily functioning, and can be disabling. "
The #internet has something like that going on.
I try to read the #Mastodon #federated feed and the result is a million different ideas all at the same time. Well, to my fragile #human #cognition that's *extremely disordered thinking.*
I personally know too much #Facebook does weird things to the #psyche, and so I gave that up years ago, but sadly I'm kinda seeing another sort of weird thing happening with Mastodon.
That federated feed is going to be a jumble of disconnected ideas. What will happen to my poor little psyche if I tried viewing it for a few hours or days?
I assume social media is still in it's infancy, and so I hope with an atheists prayer that it eventually evolves to be an effective tool for global working-class democracy and justice.
Meaning is distorted by social media. Perceptions are distorted by social media. How rational people reconcile the downsides of social media will be in the hands of future generations.
Good luck youngbloods.
