In this Web 3.0, a new breed of user generated knowledge business platforms will allow everyone to easily create a full scale small media business without any technology or media [...]]]> http://www.sophotec.com/103/the-economic-feasibility-of-a-trillion-dollar-web-3-0-knowledge-industry/feed/ 1 http://www.sophotec.com/100/from-web-1-0-to-web-3-0/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=from-web-1-0-to-web-3-0 http://www.sophotec.com/100/from-web-1-0-to-web-3-0/#comments Sat, 19 Jun 2010 18:58:06 +0000 Johannes Bhakdi http://www.sophotec.com/?p=100 http://www.sophotec.com/100/from-web-1-0-to-web-3-0/feed/ 3 http://www.sophotec.com/98/why-market-theory-isn%e2%80%99t-just-wrong-but-stupid/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=why-market-theory-isn%25e2%2580%2599t-just-wrong-but-stupid http://www.sophotec.com/98/why-market-theory-isn%e2%80%99t-just-wrong-but-stupid/#comments Sat, 19 Jun 2010 18:57:08 +0000 Johannes Bhakdi http://www.sophotec.com/?p=98 Markets are rational, and the best way to solve all problems. They consists of so called market players who constantly create transparency, compare prices, and make things more efficient. Ouch. Forward thinking economists like Justin Fox1 try to convey to main stream economics what every 5th grader could articulate what’s wrong with this hypothesis. Of course, there [...]]]> http://www.sophotec.com/98/why-market-theory-isn%e2%80%99t-just-wrong-but-stupid/feed/ 1 http://www.sophotec.com/94/human-economics-getting-economics-right-finally/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=human-economics-getting-economics-right-finally http://www.sophotec.com/94/human-economics-getting-economics-right-finally/#comments Sat, 19 Jun 2010 18:52:09 +0000 Johannes Bhakdi http://www.sophotec.com/?p=94 When I was 19, I felt one of the most important things in the human universe is the question where the wealth of nations and individuals originates from. Why some nations are poor, and other peoples are rich. And even more important: why all of us are so much better of than a few centuries [...]]]> http://www.sophotec.com/94/human-economics-getting-economics-right-finally/feed/ 0 http://www.sophotec.com/90/is-everyone-stupid/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=is-everyone-stupid http://www.sophotec.com/90/is-everyone-stupid/#comments Sat, 19 Jun 2010 18:46:17 +0000 Johannes Bhakdi http://www.sophotec.com/?p=90 Recently, I had a long argument with Angie, who helps me editing sophotec.com. The topic: Is everyone stupid, and do we have to dumb down Sophotec posts – or is everyone smart and understands advanced wisdom structures if we present them in the right way. Well, we didn’t come to a conclusion. I have no idea.

And no, I haven’t learned too much about the human mind. It’s another case of a science that got stuck in internal methodological debates and found all the wrong answers to the wrong questions. From 1999-2003, I conducted a series of research projects that followed an innovative thinking approach that blended [...]]]> http://www.sophotec.com/87/how-the-human-mind-works/feed/ 2 http://www.sophotec.com/85/knowledge-technology/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=knowledge-technology http://www.sophotec.com/85/knowledge-technology/#comments Sat, 19 Jun 2010 18:39:42 +0000 Johannes Bhakdi http://www.sophotec.com/?p=85 In “Does knowledge change human behavior”, I discussed the process in that knowledge influences our actions. It became clear that knowledge in the sense of maps of cause and effect is the only way human behavior can be changed at all, and that the decisive problem boils down to the question of knowledge transfer effectiveness.

To answer this question, we have to take a step back and become clear about what knowledge is [...]]]> http://www.sophotec.com/83/does-knowledge-change-human-behavior-%e2%80%93-or-not/feed/ 0 http://www.sophotec.com/81/how-knowledge-drives-progress/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-knowledge-drives-progress http://www.sophotec.com/81/how-knowledge-drives-progress/#comments Sat, 19 Jun 2010 18:37:59 +0000 Johannes Bhakdi http://www.sophotec.com/81/how-knowledge-drives-progress/ The basic progress model introduces the fundamental metrics of progress. But it opens a second question, which I think is the most important question of all: What is the secret of progress that lies in between world A and world B – the factor that enables change and progress in the human universe?
