2007 Case Study on Blogs; Human Demands for Law and Order; Utterly Ridiculous

So often humans will demand law and order in their endeavors and yet what they are really demanding is to make rules to control the situation and make everyone else do things their way. We see this in nearly every aspect of the human experience; we see it in sophisticated societies and advanced civilizations. And yet one has to ask if we are inhibiting ourselves by allowing the never-ending cycle of rule making.

Indeed it is a known fact that most of those who are involved in rule making enjoy the process because they cannot compete in the current reality and want to shield themselves and better their chances for success. Rule making allows for an increased hyperbolic mechanism of control. Once started it cannot be unwound.

The interesting thing is that eventually the over regulation even bounds the hands of the rule makers themselves and eventually there comes a time for a paradigm shift from a revolutionary element to break the dead lock created. Let us consider the Internet and rule making for a moment. Lets consider the stifling of innovation in the name of rules. How about increasing the rules in an online Forum or Blog for writers as a case Study?

Often humans demand law and order and isn’t that in fact the beginning of the law of unintended consequences? Bureaucracy crushes innovation and if a writer’s Blog is to pitch ideas and concepts to the over all team or to a group of writers then it cannot be over bound into a box of overwhelming rules. And if we have 10 or even 50,000 plus innovative and Creative People available to participate on a Blog or Forum (writers are generally at the top of the food chain of creative types); then it makes sense to foster creativity and not hamper it.

So where as it would be correct of course to state that all writer’s Blogs or Forums are in fact Dictatorships driven by the ego or needs of the moderator or owner, that does not mean a little benevolence towards rule making is not a good idea to get the most out of the process of hashing out ideas and concepts. Rule making is so dangerous to innovation, there is a fine line and once you cross that line one defeats the purpose.

Surely if anyone of the 1000’s of participants cannot handle the rules then they are welcome to find another writer’s Blog to discuss such industry items and they can search out such opportunities to propel thought. There are indeed thousands of writer’s Blogs and 100s of writers Forums too. Actually there are discussion forums on every possible human subject. I have found interesting Blogs and forums on the Internet and there are many places to start looking; http://www.findyourforum.com/

In this case study we have pitched the thought that although humans love to make rules, are able to do so and have ample opportunity to make them often; I submit to you that with that opportunity comes the important responsibility to maintain the system’s agility, integrity, flow of thought and process to create innovation. Perhaps this article might provide insight and propel thought in 2007.
