LIBRARY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE:
Current Thinking, Online Publication

• Scholarship is part of the flux of reality, not separate from reality: participates in the fluidity of reality.
• Internet writing does not allow for knowledge of an ending. Like real life, nothing is final: everything is in flux. Not unlike normal scholarship, but things evolve more quickly. Writing = transformation of consciousness.
• Granularity: smaller bits or bites of information: Say a little at a time in order to alter consciousness. Ongoing flow of information: real life.
• Platform: visibility: being heard.
• Iteration: successive refinement or understanding.
• Creating an online experience: excitement.
• Curation: selectivity: filtering the information. Choosing the best.
• Library of Social Science is creates attention for its authors: bringing their findings to a large, world-wide audience.
• Internet = immediacy.
• While printed materials have a certain fixity, texts published via the Internet have a much more fluid character.
• It’s an attention economy. Without attention (on the web, or anywhere), one is nothing: creating an audience for an author’s work is the first step—before anything else can happen.
• LSS is creating a discourse community: a research institute: “tribe”—consisting of the finest scholars.
• Real life = real time = impacting reality. Not just an accumulation of publications for a resume. Producing psychic change and development in authors and readers.
• The objective of publication is to be read—in order to transform consciousness.
• Ideas need to be re-iterated.
• Short bites: a series of messages. Bring people from one psychic place to another.
