Cards for Insight: Coming to our senses
In a network, finding the others, coming to our senses.
I’m so busy, I don’t have time to do anything. This is an all too common sentiment, hiding a more or less suppressed curiosity and sense of wonder.
The dangerous benefit with keeping ourselves busy is that it gives us no time to reflect on who we are, who we are when we feel intensely alive in relationships with others, who we are when we pursue mighty ideas for the sheer joy in pursuing them, who we are when imagine seeing ourselves through the 21st Century, who we are when we hold one small grain of sand between our fingers, and notice it is a perfect and well worn crystal, and, who we are when we come to our senses, consciously as if for the first time, who we are when we move and trust; trust and move, as we meet the universe halfway and make a unique dent in the fabric of spacetime.
Keeping ourselves busy, keep us from all that.
Use the cards to explore new perspectives
and gain insight around a chosen question.
Card: Genius
The conversation between ourselves,
the elements and the underlying nature
and seamless reality that makes a place
vibrantly incarnate and fully itself.
and gain insight around a chosen question
Cards for Insight: Q&U
- Gather a small group genius around a generative question
- Pick two cards and add your thoughts between
- Engage in conversation and cultivate shared understanding
in light of intelligence augmentation and intelligence turned ability
- Take practical wisdom as a stopping rule and generative closure
- Create Q&U cardcasts, forming interactive supersets
to the more commonly known Q&A podcast formats
Q: Questions; U: Understanding, see cards below.
Since 103% of all co-creation of value resides in the links, feedback
loops, the in-between spaces and unique insights and annotations
from participants, let’s unfold a way to address this:
Cards for Insight
1. Addressing how we relate to information and meaning-making.
2. Pick two cards and add your thoughts between.
3. Notice social stigmergy and reflect on attention.
4. Design and homestead social learning systems in light of intelligence, networked intelligence and systems intelligence.
5. Experience and learn to use Cards for Insight — As easy as a card game, as powerful as a social machine.
6. Understand how to add value in light of situational awareness.
7. Interact to the full extent of your ability.
8. Map moves conducive to knowledge mapping and flows.
9. Play with frames, frame and reframe, move beyond rigid narratives.
10. Cultivate shared understanding in light of generative closure.
11. Take thought conducive to convivial conversation.
Card: Skillful Conversation
When there’s sufficient listening in addition
to the flow, the participants warm up to the
complex responsive processes, making for
sharing of stories, perspectives and insights
in the comment thread.
Card: Question
A question is mind rediscovering
the generative nature of relating
with reality and transforming it
into possibility.

Card: Perception
Skimming is reading rapidly through five hundred social
media channels in order to forcefit the overview with
your existing belief system. Scanning is reading rapidly
in order to pick facts that reinforce your existing opinion.
“Perception is not something that happens
to us, or in us. It is something we do.”

Card: Something we do
Our everyday sensemaking and meaning-making
efforts related to review, story, tasks, moves and
generative review.

From a Sensorimotor to a Sensorimotor++ Account of Embodied Conceptual Cognition
— Joel Parthemore
“I argue that sensorimotor++ makes for a better
theory of concepts — one that is not just embedded
and embodied but enactive — and, perhaps,
a better sensorimotor theory more broadly.”
— Joel Parthemore

Card: Understanding
What if understanding is our
ability to hold space for the
possibility of knowledge, as
it emerges, unfolds, directs
and discloses its relevance
to unexplored aspects of
things known?
Cards as Tools for Social Cognition, at Social Machine Scale
One of the core reason for the cards is to provide tools for thought reflecting the infinite nature of human creativity and play, yet providing large finite sets of card-combinations enabling code, computing and
AI to assist our human efforts whenever and wherever needed.

Cards for Insight: LLM’s
Cards, patterns of play and card-play conversations combine,
facilitating exploring paths between worthwhile dilemmas,
generative center questions and preferable outcomes.
There’s around 500 cards in the source deck, with more than 120k
two-card and 21M three-card combinations. With four-, five- and
six-card combinations mapping to LLM’s, Large Language Models, facilitating human associations(card-play) combining with
AI-assisted annotations(prompts and responses).
Think cards with an underlying pattern language and with an underlying Modular Process Onto-Epistemology forming part of an Online Commonplace, with a searchable Modular Knowledge Repository.
