DoubleQuotes consist of two quotes (or images), juxtaposed. They are intended to work in a way that I learned from haiku: as thoughts dropped into the mind-pond, not so much for their own sakes as for their concentric ripples and the interference patterns between them.
DoubleQuotes are a subset of my analytic work using concepts drawn from Herman Hesse's Glass Bead Game and my playable variants, the HipBone Games.
The Chinese appear to be promulgating a file claiming to contain the Dalai Lama's yearly speech, which is in fact a Trojan. I thought it might be instructive to compare this with an excerpt of the speech itself. The contrast couldn't be clearer: in prisoner's dilemma terms, the Dalai Lama is cooperating, the Chinese are defecting.
I'm the designer of the HipBone Games, playable variants on Hermann Hesse's Glass Bead Game. I'm associated with the Center for Millennial Studies at Boston University, and worked as Senior Analyst at The Arlington Institute, a beltway think tank in Virginia, on the social impact of large and surprising changes. Presently I'm focusing on the Middle East and developing a tool for conflict analysis -- and hopefully, eventually, conflict resolution!
