Abstract

We like happy endings to stories, but this narrative, which is about the unintended consequences of digital connectivity, has a nuanced resolution. There is a public good aspect to the Internet, in that the benefits of a healthy network are felt by all, regardless of who is paying. Information exchange and community spirit are non-exclusive and non-rival. Harnessing the power of this interaction has made humans the most powerful species and will continue to do so. It will require that connectivity across humans and machines is conducted in a spirit of cooperation, thereby promoting trust and risk sharing. The balance between individual liberty and networks of trust can be achieved through dialogue, collective thinking and collective action. We cannot achieve this with walls, firewalls and fragmented societies.

Vorheriges Kapitel Restoring Boldness and Reducing Apathy
Fußnoten
1
A simple syllogism captures the logic:
  • Content tsunami ⟶ attention deficit and cognitive apathy
  • Cognitive apathy ⟶ less cognitive bandwidth available for adaptation to change, so there is resistance to change, which manifests as risk avoidance ⟶ less risk-taking behavior
  • Therefore, content tsunami ⟶ less risk-taking behavior

Carr feels that consumption of digital content is at a speed that precludes deep processing (Carr 2008). This argument relies on understanding the complexities in brain circuitry, and hence it is ambiguous until we have more research in neuroscience.

There is a vast literature debating the compatibility of individual freedom and democratic notions of equality of opportunity. Democracy, for some, was the idea that people should be free to make the most of their abilities in an egalitarian society (Alexis de Tocqueville, Rawls, Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill), which implies that we should provide the resource (via taxes) to enable this outcome. But then there is the opposing idea that people own their talents and cannot be compelled to share its rewards, that is, via taxes (Robert Nozick).

In the model of former International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief economist Raghu Rajan, the first two pillars are the state and markets (Rajan 2019).

“Many people, including many scientists, tend to confuse the mind with the brain, but they are really very different things. The brain is a material network of neurons, synapses and biochemical. The mind is a flow of subjective experiences, such as pain, pleasure, anger and love” (Harare 2018).

“According to Aristotle, one has to think of oneself as a member of the larger community—the Polis for him, the corporation, the neighborhood, the city or the country (and the world) for us—and strive to excel, to bring out what is best in ourselves and our shared enterprise” (Solomon 2004).
