Noisy falling, but no listeners

Noisy falling, but no listeners

7aef8f65.jpg

I paused while reading this ""If we are putting our time and resources into communicating science but we're not on social media, we're like a tree falling in an empty forest—yes, we're making noise, but no one is listening". My mind thought of a falling tree in a desert falling onto sand and who would listen? Will the tree falling in a forest make the same sound as a tree falling on sand? Will that make any difference if there are no listeners?

843bc605.jpg

The falling tree in the forest will have more opportunities to grow and form wide rings. In contrast, the falling tree in the desert will have narrow rings. Will the rings cry with different vibrations?

Social media is the forest and it provides opportunities and challenges different from those trees growing alone in the sandy desert. If a tree stands on the edge of a forest it has more exposure to wind. It stands alone and its growth potential is reduced and so its rings get narrower. Even though the tree is living in a forest yet it has narrow rings like those trees of deserts. I believe this is what motivated people to leave the forest of some social platforms. They felt that nobody is listening to them and deprived of the potential to grow. They were worried that if they fall nobody would listen to them.

The strength of a tree comes from the quality of its wood. Some trees produce some very high quality wood and others produce low quality wood. The latter is more prone to attack by fungi and the result is a weak tree that could fall soon. People on social media need the environment to allow them to grow healthily and produce the high quality fruits (ideas, buzzes, associations, hives, links, or whatever). People will not leave a social media platform if they feel they have the potential to grow.

Like in a forest some trees grow very high, others medium high and others remain low. Some hives have thousands of members and others have a mere of ten members. Those trees that grow very high might feel lonely alone up in the sky. If they fall their fall shall make a big noise and they might fall on small trees. The higher we go, the more caring for ourselves and others we should be. They make recall Jonathan's seagull which flew higher than other seagulls. It then realized that to flow higher is to teach other how to fly better and higher. The higher a hive goes, the more it can explore and the more it can give to hives that are still lower. The more high trees give, the more they shall experience and the healthier they shall grow. Social medium is not only sharing of our problems; it is more sharing our experiences, thoughts and imaginations. No matter what the cause of loneliness, being alone in a desert, standing highest in a forest or flying highest it is turning this loneliness to help others that shall make the difference.

You feel lonely then you have the opportunity to fall on us and nobody shall listen, or to share the experiences of your loneliness and we shall all be good listeners.

I dedicate this buzz to @Sara Jacobovici for she listens whenever I fall

Yes, the way you phrased the question is super Aurorasa Sima. I share the same feelings in that this platform is is both being part of a caring platform and caring people and respecting some short period pf desired loneliness. Together we grow

Reading very sound comments such as yours dear Deb Helfrich makes me feel the difference between beBee and other platforms. Potential to grow depend, among other factors, on quality of feedback and "tossing" of ideas. Surely, we can help each other to how we can most easily look to assuage loneliness or isolation whether in a forest or a desert. If this feeling is coupled with potential to grow then surely there is a room for each idea to get exposure for light to grow.

Dear Sara Jacobovici wrote a buzz in which she mentioned this buzz. As much as I am flattered by the words of Sara, equally I am absorbed by a quote she embeds in her buzz. A one minute buzz that shall keep you first stunned with its quality and then experience the movement of this quote in your body. A highly-recommended buzz for you to read and enjoy: There Is poetry in science": https://www.bebee.com/producer/@sara-jacobovici/there-is-poetry-in-science

I believe you hit a powerful idea dear Sara Jacobovici with this writing "in stillness lies potential and that the potential is released through movement, vibration, resonance". You remind me of potential energy and kinetic energy. The potential energy of ideas converting to kinetic energy in different forms of movement such as vibrations. Would the movement be orbiting, vibrating, resonating, swinging, zig-zagging or whatever is the conversion of potential energy. So, the pendulum is a great metaphor. I am sure there are other relevant metaphors. You see your idea is "moving" in my head.

I'm sure we've all felt alone in a crowd and thank you for putting up a link to your buzz Sara Jacobovici, I just left a comment. Couldn't agree more about being dependent on others in the community. Social media can be very fullfilling at times and other times, yes a lonely feeling.

Thanks for tagging me on this important comment by Lisa Gallagher. This is definitely the paradox of human development; our need to be independent while being dependent on others and community. The challenges of social media is that it is a sensory step removed from our natural non-verbal language of engagement. Still, the "being lonely in a crowd" syndrome has existed in all times and communities. I would like to share a short Buzz I wrote on this topic. Thanks. https://www.bebee.com/producer/@sara-jacobovici/alone-to-create

Your so right Ali Anani, it's healthy to be alone for short periods of time. I treasure those times when i feel peaceful and doing something just for me. It's healthy for relationships too. To not socialize for extended periods is unhealthy and can lead to more anxiety when you must. Thanks!

I think many people feel lonely and some lonelier than others. I've learned to get choosier with those I associate with because it can be either conducive or destructive to our mental frame of mind depending on the interactions we have on Social Media. There's so much we can learn from each other, it's the way it's presented and/or the way others speak to us that can make all the difference in the world. A tree obviously has limbs that embrace the birds which sit upon them, we can all be those limbs and embrace each other. Nice article Ali Anani

A connection between metaphors and science. I am looking at the expression or metaphor of a pendulum swinging, its origin and use and I came across this intriguing information (which you may already be aware of) http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/pend.html, specifically resonant frequencies and excitation at resonance, http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/sound/reson.html#resdef. Could this be a variation of the silent bubble waiting for agitation Ali Anani?

That is fine Irene Hackett for the only league that exists here is a fine league of brothers and sisters with a spirit to blend the personal with the professional and thus create a relationship that is fit for the 21st Century. For me this is the only league that matters, all other leagues are a measure of the past or a form of competition which befits only ancient professional divisions.

I think you are way to modest David Navarro L\u00f3pez I have seen a depth of sensibility and an acuteness of awareness in just your English responses and like Ali Anani you can also respond in Spanish - it is a common trait of highly bright people to undervalue their actual contribution and likewise fools overvalue their contribution (using words like bullshit or other words of denigration in order to convey their opinion). Humility is a part of who David Navarro Lopez is, that much is clear to me, but there is no question that you possess a very bright light and there is nothing at all secondary or lesser about your own uniqueness.

Dears Sara Jacobovici- if you wish to witness silence in bubbles you may do so. Just empty a can of Seven-Up (being transparent) into a glass and wait till the bubbles cease. Add few granules of sand or rice to the glass and the silent bubbles shall start rising again. What we think is a silent bubble is in fact a bubble waiting for agitation.

Therefore reading what Sara responded to Irene " I am so glad you brought up the question, "I wonder, in this "sensory reduced" state, if in fact our senses are not impacted in such a way that induces more sensory activity?" broke the silence of bubbles. I am now more impatiently awaiting the buzz of dear Sara

Dear Milos Djukic to engage in that role, because she has a fundamental relation to science and research. As a non-scientist I am not a Christie Wilcox, but I learn from scientists, I learn from designers, from mathematicians, from artists etc etc - because are the true affinities. To sit on the edge and observe that natural affinity is a rather marvelous thing, but we get to embedded about our own views of what is social and what is beBee or what is sharing, that we miss the reality that we don't really go to science blogs, we don't visit a domain expert because social traffic moves to centers like beBee, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus. If these hubs or natural aggregation points then flow outwards and enrich us with broader ecosystem that is a spoke of each affinity, that itself is a marvelous pathway. Observe the kind of buzzes that people find relevant and you will soon see that relevancy is still tribal rather than a flow of affinity. Creating a hive is a decision. The meaning of decision is to shut other possibilities out, a cutting off - I copied the meaning of Decision from dictionary.com 1425-75; late Middle English decisioun < Middle French < Latin dēcīsiōn- (stem of dēcīsiō) literally, a cutting off, equivalent to dēcīs(us) (past participle of dēcīdere; see decide) None of the conversations I have read in this buzz embrace this notion of cutting off, because we can be more carefree about a lack of limitation. Science communication is only an open source when it has specific affinity with its language and ways, and how that expertise and form then deals with the nature of media - then this is the construct underlying science communication.

If a tree falls in a desert, compared to the sounds around it, it will make more rebound, but much less others will hear it. In the other hand, if a tree falls in a forest, there is more possiility to be heard, but as well, more background noise. If there is a storm on a forest, a fall of a tree will not be noticed. It would only if the rest of the forest is still. I have read from you Ali Anani real masterpieces of wisdom which had very few responses compared to the message given. The reasons could be as trivial as you can imagine, there is no logical on it. Is like fate. There are so many variables, that is impossible to predetermine what is going to happen. The main thing is that you are sharing wisdom in every post you share, not expecting anything, just because you are generous, and this should be enough. If somebody is listening, is one thing. If it responds publicly, is another. But the good you do with your posts, the reach you achieve, you'll never know. One thing is for sure. Like the Sun, the power emitted from your soul is going 360 degrees making grow a flower or helping a bird to dry its wings. But the sun doesn't care about it. It keeps shining. Keep on shining my friend.

Dear Milos Djukic this is the kind of buzz I would typically most relate with you because apart from your interest in fractals, you are by far the biggest proponent for science communication. What I would like to see you doing is to approach Christie Wilcox or as Christie Wilcox describes herself "Nerdy Christie" http://christiewilcox.com/contact.html and in specific reference to her Wiki http://socialnetworkingforscientists.wikispaces.com see if you can work with her with your interest in science communication as to promoting science communication through beBee. As strange as I find it but I do not presently see a hive on Science Communication and the invitation then is to create that hive and then invite Christie Wilcox to be a co-manager of that hive, and more importantly begin to contribute articles to her Wiki on science communication topics of how beBee can be utilized and further developed for this primary purpose i.e. advocating and building a repository of information on the Wiki similiar to http://socialnetworkingforscientists.wikispaces.com/Facebook or http://socialnetworkingforscientists.wikispaces.com/Twitter or http://socialnetworkingforscientists.wikispaces.com/Google+Plus I think this would be a very good partnership and it is integral to what you already promote and absolutely believe in.

Irene Hackett, I am so glad you brought up the question, "I wonder, in this "sensory reduced" state, if in fact our senses are not impacted in such a way that induces more sensory activity?" I was thinking of that when you wrote in your earlier comment, "In silence I read these buzzes, and yet the 'sound' - oh the 'Sound of Silence" - 'left it seeds while I was still sleeping, the visions planted in my brain'" This statement can only come from someone who has experienced the self in relation to his or herself, others and his or her environment from a full sensory spectrum. You read ("see") and "hear" and associate with past experiences and then "imagine" (in the absence of external stimuli) the song, its images, associations and meaning. If you take someone who started their life in the "new world of devices", they have a reduced sensory experience and they can only associate and derive meaning from that; a more restricted repertoire. I am not judging or devaluing what is imagined or associated. I am just remarking on the differences and suggesting that the answer to your question is; it doesn't induce more sensory activity, the type of activity is dependent on what has been "sparked" by the individual experience.

Thank you Harvey Lloyd and I do appreciate your thoughts. I wrote a buzz recently in which I said to love is to grow less. A tall tree grows less so that its siblings may get light.I have no differences with you. Yes, light is energy and is a source for photosynthesis. But light alone shall not do it. Water is needed. Yes, I am seeking the light of truth and your comment is of great help.

The metaphor of the forest to describe the social media platform is a good one Ali Anani. I would add though, the forest is not competitive with its surrounding trees but seeks the sun as its sole purpose. Seeking the energy that it provides. When we look at individual members of the forest they see light and grow towards the opening, foreshadowing the other trees seeking the same hole in the canopy. The metaphor I see here is that the tree does it naturally with no role or goal to shadow the other trees. A sapling among its aged brethren seeks only the sun. If the sapling saw its larger cousins as competitive it would wither and die. The sapling has but one goal, find the light. Social media saplings or trees should find their light and grow. Individual perfection is found within the seeking of light not within the other trees. If we become so focused on the trees around us then we cant seek the light. This is not to say that we should not help other trees but our focus must always be within the seeking of light.

Your comment isn't addressed to me dear Sara Jacobovici and yet I couldn't stop expressing my appreciation of your comment. Your writing "But, now, I am beginning to see this not so much as a paradox but as a state of being; the social media state of being is a non-physical, sensory reduced state. How we move through or in and out of these states demands a strong core/ego and (to give you a teaser about my soon to be posted Buzz) the ability to integrate. Thanks Irene for being a part of this community" moves mountains. While greatly anticipating your forthcoming buzz an idea crossed my mind. In ice and liquid water the molecules have physical attraction. They are close to each other. In water vapor the same molecules are far away and independent of each other. May be this would help as a metaphor for social media and sensory reduced state. I am just guessing what your buzz shall be about.

#6 Dear Irene Hackett, I can definitely "relate" to your comments. Any tool or device can be used to its potential and enhance communication and the "sharing" of ideas and experiences. Like behaviours, we can actually elevate ourselves through our choices and actions. And, yes, social media is a community and in this way we search for a place "to land". I have landed on beBee and have found the good fortune to engage with individuals such as yourself. One of the things that I have become conscious of in my new environment is the difference between paradoxes and different states of being. It is a paradox that we can have "many friends" on social media but do not engage with others in "real life". But, now, I am beginning to see this not so much as a paradox but as a state of being; the social media state of being is a non-physical, sensory reduced state. How we move through or in and out of these states demands a strong core/ego and (to give you a teaser about my soon to be posted Buzz) the ability to integrate. Thanks Irene for being a part of this community.

I refrained from mentioning beBee by name because as the author of the buzz I didn't want to sound advertising beBee. But you said what I kept in my chest. Yes, beBee is the place to be. I have spent years on other platforms, but only here I got to know people of your quality. I think Javier would find your comment very relevant in describing what beBee is all about.
