Final Episode
Welcome to the final episode of The Emergence podcast.
Host, J. Paul Duplantis discusses his reasons for ending the Emergence Podcast and his wish for open source technologists and funders to rise to the challenge of building communication technology to drive purpose more than profit.
We Have a Communication Problem
Watch this episode on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M78dAio2Glo&t=19s
Introductory episode for The Emergence Podcast series of videos exploring the potential of open source communication technologies funded by not for profit interests. This introductory video will be followed by a series of challenges looking throughout all aspects of society where open source technologies funded by not for profit interests could make a positive impact.
From civic engagement to social interactions, entertainment, learning, productivity, mindfulness, collaboration, health, and philanthropy, what tools could be built where the quality of the experiences are prioritized over the potential of profit? What tools are already built? What methodologies speak to this? Where is the talent building these tools? What are the use cases for such technology to exist? Where are the funders to build these technologies where profit takes a backseat to favorably impacting people and the communities they engage with?
Every challenge in this series will look to answer these questions by aligning a potential use case with resources to help make it possible.

Communication Breakdown and The Marginalized Consumer
Join the Emergence for a commentary on The Marginalized Consumer and how the profit motive in the building of communication tools is fracturing the free market.
In this episode, the question is asked if communication technology is responsible for inquiry and feedback between consumers and providers, is it healthy for society when the tools for communication are built for the profit of the provider of the tools over the interests of the people using the tools. Where people who are consumers, employees, managers, executives, owners of businesses, and representatives of government are influenced by how these tools engage their interests around information, goods, and services.
When this exchange is created and managed by companies for profit, wouldn’t it stand to reason the tools would be built to benefit the bottom line of the provider of the tools rather than the people using the tools? Wouldn’t this result in a framework of communication threaded throughout society optimized for a profit motive over a people motive? Is this healthy for society?
What if quality of engagement was at the heart of communication tools built in the future funded by philanthropic sources focused on building open source, non exclusive communication tools optimized for a return on interaction over a return on investment? What is possible when consumer and stakeholder engagement around information, goods, and services were moved from the periphery as being driven by the market to being drivers of the market?

Discussing Worker Co-ops with ASU Post Doctoral Assocaite Nigel Forrest
Join The Emergence for a deep dive into the function of Worker Co-ops with ASU Post Doctoral Associate Nigel Forrest. What is a worker cooperative? How is a worker owned company different from a traditional organization? How will Worker Co-ops lead to a more sustainable future. Are there limitations in raising capital for a Worker Co-op? How will employers benefit from an employee owned business? How will Worker Co-ops help mitigate the threats from technology impacting the future of work. This and many more questions answered on how Worker Co-ops will move labor more purposefully into the market as owners of the goods, services, and information they help produce.

Exploring the Value of Labor with Carlos Castro
Join the Emergence for an engaging conversation with recent Arizona State University graduate Carlos Castro to explore the value of labor. A wide range of topics surrounding the expression and consumption of labor are covered in this deep and probing conversation through the lens of a Gen Z thinker. How has the pandemic affected the labor market? How is more choice in the expression of labor affecting the supply to employers? How are worker coops an option to create a better synthesis between labor and provider? How will changes in labor patterns affect the future of transportation and city planning? How might this affect climate change? This and much more in a deep dive into the value of labor beyond only the monetary.

Why discovery should not be exclusive to distribution
Join the Emergence for a commentary from host J. Paul Duplantis on why discovery should not be exclusive to distribution. When Amazon accounts for 50% of all online purchases, should they hold exclusive domain over the discovery of what is effectively public information? When Google is responsible for 87% of all online searches, should they hold exclusive domain over discovery of the public data they collect? These and many more questions are explored in this evolving search for a less influenced and more free market.
Augmented and Virtual Reality with Rami Kalla from Point in Time Studios
Join the Emergence for an engaging conversation with Point in Time Studios founder Rami Kalla on the future of Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality. What are the differences between VR, AR, MR, XR, and Spatial Computing? What are the potential applications in policing, education, storytelling, marketing, and skill development when we enter the world of virtual and augmented reality? What are the obstacles to be found when we begin to replace our smartphones with smart glasses? This and much more on this forward looking episode on the future of immersive technologies.

The Information Trap
Join The Emergence for a commentary from host J. Paul Duplantis on the role communication technology is playing in trapping information exchanged between users and providers on the web and through applications.
Since the birth of the PC revolution through to today, people have engaged with digital information through computer boxes on their desktops, mobile boxes in their hands or silos on servers in the form of Google, Facebook, Twitter or Personal applications. What has resulted is a highly compartmentalized approach to managing the flow of information rewarding those who best monetize experiences coming from the users.
In the late 1960’s, before the birth of the PC, Douglas Engelbart envisioned a future where information would be collaborated on more than contained and controlled to provide people with agency over their own experiences. Now there are tools on the horizon to break us out of these boxes and to free us from information traps but this change will only be driven by interests not tied exclusively to the prospects of monetary gain.

The Tunable Web
In this episode, I discuss a long brewing concept of building a tunable web for people to engage with information, goods, and services outside the influence of trillion dollar companies. As the web continues to close down into nested silos hijacking the interests and potential of people, there are new frameworks on the horizon to help reverse these trends. Join me for a commentary on technologies and concepts on the horizon to rethink the connection as a means of empowering people with discovery rather than controlling their discovery for profit.

Homelessness, Technology, Awareness, and Understanding
In this episode, I talk about a subject I plan to dig into much deeper on future episodes which is homelessness and how technology could become a catalyst to help bring more awareness and understanding to a significant societal problem as well as to potentially unify programs and funding within affected communities.
For this introductory episode, I focus on thoughts around a pilot program being introduced by the city of Mesa, Arizona to tackle an increasing problem their community is facing with homlessness. To learn more about their program visit

Common Sense by Thomas Paine
I recorded this song 2 years ago over a wikiloop drum track with my Guitar and Bass along with excerpts of a narration by Bob Neufeld from a Librivox recording of Thomas Paines’s Common Sense. The writing behind Paine’s Common Sense was instrumental in lighting the spark behind the American Revolution. It is my belief these excerpts speak to the potential of a truly democratic society of which communication technology should serve. A potential wavering as technology continues to serve the interests of government and business more than the people represented.
The Mission of The Emergence is to uncover innovations and ideas around communication technologies to better serve this potential. I see this interpretation of Thomas Paine’s words as a means to remind technologists, politicians, and technology users of the importance of the democratic values of liberty, equality, and justice.
The entire Librivox recording with Bob Neufeld’s narration of Common Sense can be found here.

Excerpts
“Common Sense by Thomas Paine”
“Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor.”
“As a long and violent abuse of power is generally the means of calling the right of it in question.”
“The cause of America, is in a great measure the cause of all mankind.”
“And through which, the principals of all lovers of mankind are affected.”
“Philadelphia, February 14th, 1776.”
“Some writers have so confounded society with government as to leave little or no distinction between them.”
“A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of customs.”
“And this remissness will point out the necessity of establishing some form of government to supply the defect of moral virtue.”
The Emergence Mission
Episode 14 | Brief essay (under 4 minutes) on the Mission of The Emergence Podcast to set the table for conversations, essays, and commentaries to come. What is at the core of The Emergence? To surface people, ideas, innovations, and efforts from communities into public consciousness from what is swimming underneath. To help bring more capabilities and diverse interests into the market and into society from a broader swath of people to strengthen the core of what makes up the human experience.

Free Market Parity through Decentralization
Episode 13 | Free Market Parity through Decentralization is an essay I had written before I launched The Emergence Podcast. The purpose of this this essay is not to devalue the importance of the shareholder or corporations in the market but to call out the evolution of the free market away from core principles tied to the productive exchange of labor to a reliance on shareholder growth we see today. Where the stock price of a good or service has become more important than the efforts and interests of the stakeholders (workers/consumers) involved. A reality more reflective of a game of roulette than a plan for a representative market, better at keeping a few freighters afloat than lifting most boats.

The Emergent Web
Episode 12 | The Emergent Web is an essay I had written before launching The Emergence Podcast I believe speaks well to the history and potential of a connection better serving the interests of more of the people connected.
We have to ask ourselves will society more likely benefit from the convenience of the masses or the deeper interactions of the individual? Now that the technology exists to pull this off isn’t the best investment to make the ones we make in ourselves. What better way to strengthen the core of this than through an emergent and purposeful connection.

Exploring the Potential of Connected Communities
Episode 11 | Stream of thought episode on what is possible when we move our focus toward building a better connection between people, resources, and commerce within our local and virtual communities. To focus on the potential of labor, small businesses, the arts, science, and people in the communities we engage with. To find and inspire people building tools and rendering systems of thought around the notion of tapping into human potential. Connecting these resources at the community level rather than only the institutional level will help grow a stronger core is the argument found in this episode.

Introduction to The Emergence
Episode 1 | What is possible when we are connected and in control is the question asked in this introduction to The Emergence podcast hosted by J.
