1:11: Replacing objectivity with intersubjectivity.

The internet features a new proliferation of voices. So now, our attention is the scarce resource. How do I deal with the overload of information?

We look to institutions to solve this problem–to steer attention.

We can judge these institutions based on their hospitality–the dialectical negotiation between objectivity and hospitality.

Example: Rotten Tomatoes. It’s much more interesting to read the movie reviews than the objective information. IMDb, Yelp, Amazon, etc.

Aggregating, curating, and [amplifying?] multiple voices.

How would this look for the news?

1:17: GV combines these voices together. Blends them.

Caveat: I get a lot of responses that this is unrealistic, idealistic. Hospitality is easy when we’re friends, but it’s hard and dangerous to be hospitable when we’re not friends.

Yet it’s our duty and obligation. I hope this raises our willingness to be hospitable to each other.
