Teachers Notes

🖥 Naming and tracing non-values

Example: Structural features which generate norms

Social Space: Criminal Records, Forum Thread

SF Consequences: Durability - Permanent

Norm Generated: Self Censorship

Social Space: A community center dinner party

SF Contributions: Pretext - Unclear

Norm Generated: Defaulting to a safe conversation, Small talk

Social Space: Ted/ Ted X Stage

Audience: Size - Big

Norm Generated: Polished work

Example: Political debate on Facebook

Overriding Expectations

I need to come off as smart and informed (and think of myself as such)

I need to have a sense of orientation and understand how the world works

Overriding Goals and Ideologies:

Ideology. Many, with a tendency to defend or support others in your own "tribe"

Goal. Running up points on the like button, feeling liked by others and liking myself in a medium where more controversial posts get more likes — this setup easily spins into hyperbole, ad hominem attacks and other unproductive forms of conversation

Goal or ideology. It seems incredibly important to win this tiny thread resulting in Salted-earth strategy, mic drop contribution, so I can leave this thread alone

Do those overriding norms evolve because of some structural features?

Expectations

I need to come off as a smart/informed person (and think of myself as such)
I need to have a sense of orientation/understand how the world works

SF:

!Status - Celebrity,

!Time Together - None

Depth - Mixed

Organisation - in my friend list

Ideologies

Many, with a tendency to defend or support others in your own "tribe"

SF:

Connectivity - In pairs

!Gestures - like, love, haha, wow, sad, angry — follow, don't show, block

!Stakes - low,

Status - Celebrity,

Time Together - None,

Depth - Mixed,

Goals

Goal of running up points on the like button, feeling liked by others / liking myself — this setup easily spins into hyperbole, ad hominem attacks and other unproductive forms of conversation

SF:

!Timing - Off the cuff,

!Organization - Shared topic - original post?? Is it even shared? Conversation drift / Lack of Shared Goal,

Gestures - like, love, haha, wow, sad, angry — follow, don't show, block

😱 A meaningless time you would like to redesign

💩 Meaningless Time (one that felt empty, pointless, shitty):

🌳 Personal Value that was suppressed (way you couldn't be/approach things/treat people):

...treat people with ...act ...approach things ...keep things

‣

Is it a value?

💍🛃 Expectations that suppressed the value (following social norms / promoting ideologies):

📈 Goals/Fears that suppressed the value (strategies to get certain outcomes):
