He is witty and erudite, well-read and incredibly naive, ill-informed (despite being well-read), and just plain wrong. Example: at dinner he went on and on about why the concept of "flow" was flawed, explaining that flow also requires friction. He then explained that when he played his cello, as the bow flowed across the strings, no sound would be produced unless there was friction. I suggested he was taking the metaphor suggested by the word too literally. He then expanded on his definition of Flow. I tried to explain that his definition had nothing to do with the concept of "Flow" by Csikszentmihalyi. He responded that Csikszentmihalyi's definition was wrong and his was better. I tried to explain that his definition was for a completely different concept and he did not have the right to redefine a well-known concept simply so that he could criticize it He then started a loud argument about his right to define the concept any way he wished. I tried to say that he cold only do so if he changed the name, "call it Flow2," I suggested. He told me I was out of order. I wouldn't mind a legitimate criticism, but not one just for the pleasure of being witty in demolishing a concept.​ In his talk he did something similar about the field of cognitive science, which he described as being petty, wrong, and irrelevant. I tried to explain that his definition of cognitive science bore no resemblance to the field as i understood it. He told me I was wrong about what cognitive science is. Well, I am often wrong about things, but not this one: the audience here at UC San Diego enjoyed that one. I hate to attack people personally. Tim is a very pleasant guy: I enjoyed my dinner with him. But he distorts concepts to fit his rhetoric. I prefer that the rhetoric fit the concept.

"Promiscuity is one way to demolish the perception of exclusivity that has dogged museums for longer than I’ve been around. I realize that this virtue is by far the most painful, because it would force us as memory institutions to lay bare lots of things of things we’d rather not have to deal with: legacies of imperialism and colonialism, tensions between indigenous peoples and more recent arrivals. The history of the relations between Native Americans and museums is not the most cordial, at least in part because the perception that some museums are probably hiding things they don’t want tribes to know about is almost impossible to counter. Promiscuity offers a way to end that particular debate. The “global village” the Internet has created is real, and now it is possible for a museum of any size to have global reach, provided they have anything to share. As Michael Edson pointed out in his introduction to Sharing is Caring, 34% of humanity is now reachable online. That’s 2.4 billion people who might be interested in your content. One of the most interesting and infuriating changes in attitude that the Web has wrought is the expectation of finding everything. Not being visible online now is the equivalent of not existing." … "Creating digital analogues of our existing museums is a straitjacket that will not serve us well going forward. Making a virtual museum (in addition to sounding hopelessly 90s), regardless of the technology underlying it, fails to take into account the reality of how people consume digital content. They don’t go to museum websites. Jon Voss of HistoryPin made the statement that you have to meet people where they are, not where you wish they were. Museum websites, the traditional place for museums’ online presence, are not those places, so plowing resources into making bigger, swankier ones is a waste of resources that might be deployed in ways that actually reach a global audience." … "Merete Sanderhoff lists three problems this inability to be promiscuous creates: 1. By putting up impediments museums are pushing users away from authoritative sources of information. 2. We are missing out on the the opportunity to become hubs for people. The social gravity that museums could generate is largely unrealized. 3. By not using these new tools that are at our disposal, museums undermine their own raisons d’être."]]> museums ideas theojansen 2014 edrodley open openness openculture culturecreation promiscuity
