Societies and the Cultural Zeitgeist can seem large and complex -- and impossible to fathom -- and digest.
However there are "thinking tools" and diagnostic "debugging" approaches that can help.
In the deep dark past, this author was heavy duty scientific data miner, developer and debugger of instrumentation and analysis software. Slowly, various parallels regarding how large software systems behaved -- or not -- began to "look like" various patterns in society and culture. Diagnostic and epistemological tools learned from scientific data analysis have been reformulated -- to "vet" and "zen" some of the social patterns and zeitgeist events -- for alternate and unique "understandings."
This may sound very odd and a significant stretch. Please rest assured, the mental journey will be smoothed by simple diagnostic approaches and backed up with concrete examples. Please stay tuned.
