A special thanks goes out to the .US
Department of Justice and the RNC
(Republican National Committee) for
having visited the electronetwork.org
site today.* This following the posting
on the .US energy task force issues
relating both of these organizations.
In a way it acknowledges public ideas
on electromagnetism may be of some
shared interest in their shaping culture.
Diverse events can be understood and
related in this electromagnetic context.
Much of what is considered ~critical~
discourse, today, seems to be in the
analysis of cultural events in terms of
'digital' and 'new' or other 'media'. It is
in general sensed that these can limit
a more related context, less proprietary
and-or exclusive, and separate-out an
events from its tangible connections to
instead compete as just another view.
Yet if what is being researched is, at
its core, electromagnetic and has yet
to be addressed in these terms it may
provide additional substance to current
ideas and thinking, being complimentary.
Not that there is one way to think about
electromagnetism or imagine how it can
be perceived or conceived-- if anything
it is agreed to be a mystery beyond the
simple understanding of any one person.
The EM Newsletters have sought to be
a proof-of-concept of a general context
in which events can be viewed together,
and possibly to demonstrate the idea that
a simple 'comprehension' of all that is EM
may indeed not be humanly possible, in
the public sense, yet may provide also an
inclusive and active context for relating.
It makes it somewhat difficult to be one of
the few who writes/shares ideas, as the
limitations of individual knowledge or even
the ability to describe in accurate details
this very large scope of events also makes
it hard to be brief, or exact. If those with a
specific knowledge were to write, then the
ambiguity of vague attempts at describing
events may be put into a more accurate,
descriptive and expert language based on
others diverse knowledge. My contribution
is to share a general framework and try to
provide a context for sharing ideas here.
The one-way aspect is itself a limitation,
and I would probably not be sending the
URLs to news as I can browse them my-
self, and focus on my own research if the
language is getting in the way of the ideas.
Though I hope others share their sense of
things, so that is why this project continues.
So many are doing so much interesting work.
It is hoped more people will contribute their
thinking and ideas, as this helps to advance
a general sense, but also other people's views
and understanding, and everyone learns then.
So, this is an open invitation to all on the list.
