strange that we never discussed the below ...

Ryan, could I ask you to finalize and resend me your commons based ethical
principles you were working on a few months ago, for final publication ?

Hello, Michel!  Dale Carrico here.  Haven't corresponded with you in a
while, too long, hope all is well in your world.  You can be sure I still
peruse the ongoing torrent of the p2p foundation blog.  I thought you
would be intrigued by this:

"The Peer": A peer is not an equal -- for there are no equals -- the peer
is the one who appears in the public square, and by virtue of the public
square, be it the polis of the streets or of the nets, and who appears as
one who contributes, contests, collaborates, has a stake in the shared and
made world precisely in her difference from others who also appear and
associate in company. The ethos of politics, peer-to-peer, which is one
and the same as the ethos of democratization, is always the interminable
dynamic of equity-in-diversity.

It is one of an archive of futurological and technocultural theses and
aphrorisms that have been accumulating at
http://amormundi.blogspot.com/2009/07/futurological-brickbats_27.html,
which began as something like a collection of anti-futurological
wisecracks and has begun to take on some of the heft of an elaborated
critique.
