social networking / network society
first was "I am who I am because of everyone"
then "Life's for sharing"
society is an autopoietic system...
but how can we overcome this often too conservative circularity that boosts capitalism?
'assemblage theory' and 'machinic heterogenesis' provide few useful insights.
the French guys are out of fashion but that is what they were looking for...
thinking as experimenting promotes ethics of emergence and aesthetics of pragmatics.

I am happy that you recognized that society is an autopoietic system...
It will be very nice to spread it within your blog and invite other that we "(re)produce" autopoietic society.
Maybe president Obama will be encouraged.
For me autopoietic society is based on human, physical and financial capital. If we agree that the human capital is the most important it could be the first step. Bailout is the result of ignoring it. I am sure that there are thousands scholars who could be more efficient to spend 800 billions of $, then current "professionals".
it is indeed worthy to understand society as autopoietic system... but my focus is a bit further than that... when we virtually overcome the "often too conservative circularity of the homeostatic systems".
I also think that is not a matter of president "O" only... a distriputed system is highly more energetic and creative...
"we" need to be encouraged...
"we" need to form a collective intelligence...
in the same time though we need to rethink ethics and aesthetics... to be prepared for experimentation, to be prepared to deal with emergence that often leads to the unforeseen... to a complete restructuring of the phase space of the system which might not be adequate for us to "survive" with our current structure but one that will initiate the experimentation to adopt a novel one.
