Re: Peer governance (was: Re: [ox-en] Terminology: Peer X?)

Hi Stefan,

I'm not sure what exactly is the wishful thinking you refer to, if I understand correctly, with Christian's
position here in this context. Thanks for elaborating,

Michel

[ox-en] cultural gatekeepers


   welsh lore informs
   that at the court held at caerleon
   upon many days, there is no gatekeeper
   but then in these many days, glewlwyd gafaelfawr
   acts as porter, performs here
   receives alike both guests and strangers
   welcoming the lot o'them with honour,
   making sure they kin the customs, manners
   and forks them into hall, presence chamber
   else sorts them up, then
   and there
   to take up their licenced lodging

   glewlwyd exhibits the hospitable aspect
   of a courteous host, draped in satin
   an old celt actor
   yellow, son of fair
   in the irish -- buide mac mban

   and as yellow, the porter
   cold plays and riddles
   sets the questions
   stages as a threshold guardian

   in the story of bricriu's feast
   the heroes of the ulster cycle
   provoked by jealousy to contention
   are motioned to meet, fair yellow
   for further trial and error

This explains why you come across as a posturing twit.

Sorry, but when you renounced Matteo's endorsement of Copyfarleft because
it was "unproven," that struck me as defensive. Why should an essayist
limit themselves to the "proven"? Matteo is writing theoretical articles,
not dictating State policy.

It implies that other currents in peer production discussions are based
on things that are "proven," i.e. your contentions that a "immaterial,
non-reciprocal" mode of production exists because free  software exists,
and I feel I have completely refuted these arguments, thus your reaction
to Matteo's endorsements of these and similar ideas as defensive, gripping
to interpretations that are important to you, that these arguments
challenge.

It seems to me like you do understand that an "immaterial,
non-reciprocal" mode of production has not, does not, and can not
exist and are having trouble synthesizing this knowledge with your
world view, thus you are inclined to react defensively to this loss,
as you go through the stages of grieving for this idea that was obviously
important to you.

Sorry about the psychologizing, I fully understand I could be comepletely

Manfred Fuellsack * Specialized knowledge production and (the limits of) its remuneration - Basic Income as an alternative? (was: [ox-en] Conference documentation / Konferenzdokumentation)


Specialized knowledge production and (the limits of) its remuneration
=====================================================================

Basic Income as an alternative?
-------------------------------

Manfred Füllsack [manfred.fuellsack at univie.ac.at]

The presentation will try to assess the potential of a Basic Income to
solve or at least to alleviate a fundamental problem commonly met in
the context of "specialized knowledge production": the problem of its
remuneration , or in other words, the problem that not every kind of
specialized knowledge by itself is able to generate sufficient
revenues to enable those who produce, process or distribute it to live
on.

Based not on "ethical" conceptions of the one or the other type, but
on a general theory of differentiation the presentation will 1.) try
to show that the detachment of the terms of knowledge production and
the terms of its remuneration as it would be incited by a Basic Income
is nothing essentially new in history. And 2.) it will give an
overview about the current social, economical and political
discussions, problems and prospects for the introduction of a Basic
Income.

Working paper - Not to be quoted without permission of the author!

The following considerations will try to assess the chances of a Basic
Income to "solve" or at least to "alleviate" a fundamental problem

Re: [ox-en] The refutation of illusional refutations

Sorry Dmytri, but it is at times difficult to discuss with you.

Claiming that you have refuted my arguments does not make it so, you have stated your opinion, shown that you
could not understand mine and others arguments about it. Each time you say that you have refuted my
arguments, I'm not going to do like a child and say 'not so', as that would be tiresome. You have not refuted
any of the empirical evidence that exists for non-reciprocal peer production, and offered no arguments
to prove that free software is market economy, a command and control economy, or a gift economy. You have
simple pointed out that it has a material basis, which everybody here knows and is not rocket science.

So, after a contribution like this, I'm very much inclined to say, I'm not interested in having any
discussions at all with you. Strange, it is the first time in my life I would take a decision like that ...
which in my mind means that I have rarely encountered so obtuse a character.

Let me and others be the judge if you have refuted any arguments, and not yourself. Doing that means that you
are living in your own sollipsic world, not in the world of mutual discourse.

Michel, could you please fix this stupid line breaking occuring in all 
of your responses? If not possible, please simply cut these useless 
lines, or, even better, change the mail service provider. -- I wonder 
why this happens _before_ Microsoft has taken over Yahoo;-)
