WildcatThu, Jun 11, 2009 Hi Starwalker, I apologize for the time it took me to respond to this comment of yours, somehow I missed it in the on-going flow of hyperconnectivity.
Starwalker: "Polytopia, in your description, seems to me eyeing the open corridor into a realistically positive future. Borrowing the words of Pierre Levy (see here) from the context of semantic, it seems pointing to “a space common to all the possible interpretations” of human evolution."
I definitely agree with Pierre Levy take on the issue, though I would in a sense rephrase it:" a space common to all possible interpretations" I will rephrase as : " Multiple and indefinite spaces, that may allow, all possible interpretations"
This is in my view a paramount issue for unleashing the possible from its potential, into the actual.
Starwalker: What rise in my mind is that the word Uni-verse has partially reached its limitations, and maybe the word Polytopia will begin to replace it in all the multiple uses we have for it in our language, would you agree?
I am not sure how you understand the word Uni-verse, but in general I use the term multiverse, not only in its physical/materialist connotation but also in the sense that different states (topos) operate under different conditions of emergence and thus imply different rules of behavior/attitude and so on, implying multiple versions of the thematic reality.
In this case yes, I agree that the term polytopia might be an adequate change of language.
