But this situation of linear movement is rapidly changing in every respect. And the greatest change is one that our Rip Van Winkle economist, looking only at the figures, wouldn’t even notice: In the past 20 years we have created a brand-new form of capital, a brand-new resource, namely knowledge.
Up until 1900, any society in the world would have done just as well as it did without men of knowledge. We may have needed lawyers to defend criminals and doctors to write death certificates, but the criminals would have done almost as well without the lawyers, and the patients without the doctors. We needed teachers to teach other ornaments of society, but this too was largely decoration. The world prided itself on men of knowledge, but it didn’t need them to keep the society running.

How many times did you use the word awesome today? Five, ten, fifteen times? We use the word awesome so often and, most of the time, so incorrectly that the term has lost its original sense— maybe forever. Comedian Jill Shargaa explains why in this AWESOME TED talk.

Meet-up: Gurteen Knowledge Management NYC
I recently joined a meet-up group for the first time. And I’m so glad I did!
Prior to the invitation to the group “Gurteen Knowledge Management” I had heard of neither the name “Gurteen” nor the term “Knowledge Management”. From the description on the “About” page and the title of the next topic “Breaking Down Silos Through Working Outloud” I decided it looked interesting enough to attend a meeting and find out more...
About the group: 21,000 people in 160 countries are part of the Gurteen Knowledge Community. Help us create a strong core in New York City. After all, there is a lot of knowledge here to be shared! This is a group for knowledge management enthusiasts who like to share KM practices, learn from others and improve their organizations. Knowledge sharing practices can make a company run more efficiently and increase employee productivity. Join us in sharing practices of ways you share knowledge in your organization!
The presentation at the meeting was fantastic!

I had long been a fan of Jane Bozarth’s work:
Jazne Bozarth Website | @JaneBozarth | Show Your Work (on Amazon)
But Joachim mentioned many other pioneers and practitioners of the same philosophy to check out:
Dave Winer, “Narrate Your Work” Bryce Write, “Breaking Down ‘Work Out Loud’” John Stepper “Working Out Loud: The Making of a Movement” (TEDx video) Catherine Shinners “They Dynamics of Working Out Loud” Dennis Pearce “Working Out Loud Doctoral Thesis”
Besides a great presentation, I also really enjoyed the group discussion.
One of the topics that we talked about that I am particularly interested in right now is slack-
