November Review

WhyWhy.com, or Dumbledore.com? I’d love your opinion – but we are not fully there yet. This month I been working on argument maps, that can prove the earth is round, anywhere on the Internet, as well as discuss whether the platform should be called WhyWhy, Dumbledore or Informing. The argument maps can discuss anything, which solves lots of problems but also brings new ones – which is why I proceed this development with caution.

Rather than launching “Social blogging” I been working toward launching, the long-term goal of argument mapping, mainly on the creative part. Have a look at some demos:

Personal

I been doing exciting things after work every afternoon and been meditating almost every day. For December, I’ll travel with a Swedish friend to NZ then come back to the house I stayed in this month and celebrate Christmas, then head off with the van. We’ll do hiking, and working from the van – throughout the month.

In December

I wish to get many deep-work sessions – solving tough problems like (december deliverables (structuring argument-variations (ex. different spellings/expressions, inverted arguments, same/similar meaning) scoring of supporting arguments (via ex. criteria based on main-argument, or just one single metric called impact)).

As my friend arrives, I also hope to discuss some important questions regarding argument mapping with him, such as (discuss questions (openness related to impact, ex. misuage of technology and with that, whether to be open open-source) also misalignment in product development, based on venture funding – or else setup crowdfunding donations)

Travels surely will be fun. I hope the work will be the most productive month of the year too. By the end of the month I wish to feel that its even closer to bringing argument-maps to make huge positive impact.
