2024-09-17 Memo. - Community and Project. - society and gemeinschaft?

  • clear leadership.
    • project-like
  • N vs. N communication channel.
    • It was a natural part of the physical world.
    • In digital communication, the cost of transmission is the same whether it is one-to-one or N-to-N communication.
    • Do a lot of one-on-one calls and you become the hub of communication.
gpt.icon - This fragment examines the nature of community and the changing nature of communication in the digital age. - First, Gemeinschaft (communal society) and Gesellschaft (interest society) refer to social structures based on individual relationships, the former being emotional ties and the latter being a society bound by interests. - This fragment requires [[leadership]] in a project-like effort, - stating that N-to-N, many-to-many communication is important. - I didn't say that.nishio.icon - This may point to the fact that in the digital age, both one-to-one and N-to-N communication cost the same, making it easier to create [[diverse connections]]. - Also, the point that by actively engaging in one-on-one communication, the individual becomes the "hub" of communication is an insight based on network theory. nishio.icon - More of a project than a community in communication style with a clear hub - It is interesting that this "[[Community as a bundle of projects]]" was chosen as the conclusion of someone who has experienced [[community management]] many times gpt.icon - The idea of "community as a bundle of projects" differs from the traditional image of "community," emphasizing its nature as a goal-oriented gathering. - What is being pointed out here is the perspective that a community is not just one common purpose or emotional tie, but a collection of multiple projects and initiatives. - The fact that those who have had multiple experiences in community management ultimately choose "bundles of projects" reflects the need for diversity and a wide variety of objectives in our time. - This suggests that a communication style in which a clear hub exists functions as an efficient means to produce [[tangible results]], rather than just [[social connections]]. - In the digital age, project-based management may often be the optimal solution, especially since many-to-many networks can be easily formed. nishio.icon - Repeated collaborative projects to create small, time-limited, short-lived communities that disappear and then operate them in a fun way. gpt.icon - The idea of "[[creating]] small, time-limited, short-lived communities that disappear" is a new form of community that differs from traditional [[sustainable communities]]. - These short-lived communities are characterized by limited duration, clear objectives, and spontaneous extinction after termination. - This allows participants to focus on activities in a short period of time and to carry out specific projects quickly. - It is also interesting to note that the "[[enjoyment of the]] operation" element of these communities goes beyond the project-like nature of achieving an objective and finds value in the process itself. - In other words, since the community is supposed to be short-lived, the emphasis is on making the most of each moment and sharing an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. - This [[iterative project]] will generate new ideas and connections with people, allowing for flexible and fluid community formation.
