As a Dutch philosopher I'm a visitor of the Dutch newsgroup nl.filosofie. But from the beginning I'm concerned about the quality of the communication. The quality is bad, it isn't more than a chatroom, people meeting just for the sake of meeting.

But I have some ideas how to make the communication better. Some very practical, others to construct a strong community around at least one newsgroup, whose first object it is to make the discussion better.
Some people say that the experiment is doomed to fail, but why? People shall once realize that if you enter a newsgroup, you give up a part of your freedom for the sake of the goal of the group. They shall want to keep the subject of the discussion central, and they shall want to respect eachother.
And -being flat and easy and simple structured, it communicates better in a newsgroup, then in e.g. Discordia. Quicker, more free, more personal.
After a good philosophical cleansing it will be a fantastic medium for people to find and share thoughts and reflections.
After reading "My First Recession" of Geert Loving I do believe still more strongly in this project nl.filosofie.praktische. |
