Contextual Truth

There’s an intersection around here with the world of art criticism, but I’m not sure where it is.

Duke Ellington said, “there’s only two kinds of music: good and bad”. I tend to agree, and (circa 2/2009) I think what delineates good and bad is largely: “intent”.

More generally, I think the word is “context”.

I’m interested in the context engines that will emerge to help make sense of the Now Web (Borthwick) and integrate “true” [wink wink] social capital accounting.

Thanks for an incredible piece!

This is my comment in reply to Fred Wilson’s amazing piece on peer-produced truth. 100% recommended (Fred’s on a tear lately).
