CyberOutlaw view on Human and Social Issues

Including:

 Why some people notice things and some people don’t. There are those that say ‘Have you ever thought about why that happens?’ - pointing to something of interest. To which the usual response is ‘No. Why on earth would I? You really are odd, no one else thinks like that - have another beer!’.

     There are patterns of human behaviour, which on the face of it are inexplicable, from the global-strategic to the trivial - eg, why do some people think that their religion gives them carte-blanche to do whatever they want; or, why do families crowd round baggage belts at airports in a way that makes it more difficult for everybody? But there are more serious matters here too:

• Investigating why groups such as the ‘Occupy Movement’, ‘Extinction Rebellion’ and ‘Just Stop Oil’ fail to get long-term traction in bringing about change. “It’s the form of organisation, stupid” might be the answer.
   
• A study into interoperability, technical, organisational, social and ‘Of the mind’ - which has developed a practical framework for analysing and selecting appropriate means of enabling effective communication.
   
• How technology alienates and disenfranchises people and, in the words of Gary Klein “Makes them stupid” - and what can be done about it.
