Isaac Mao speaks about "How Sharism is unleashing liberty". The theory of sharism reflects on the share of information and ideas to the point of sharing action by using the case study of a decade of chinese social media and its impact to society, especially on social structure re-shaping, and individualization.
 Okay, this is the last session of today, right? So I didn't see so many people here coming in, but more people are entering. So I want to ask more questions today instead of talking too much because I want to see if not it's not only my personal sharing is about how people share in your spirit back to me as well. That's about shareism. So shareism in definition is a very short, the very shortest definition is the moment of sharing. Why you share, how to share, and what's the result of sharing. So it's a theory about sharing. It's a kind of new theory we are developing, but actually it's from the people itself. So today I want to just want to share a little bit about shareism theory by showing some cases we are studying from the me, a very simple, small idea in our mind, how it can transfer into action in our real world, in the physical world. So it's always the question from our surroundings that why we share, it doesn't make sense, we only share information. We should try to do something in the real world. Whenever I would argue that it's just because of sharing, because of the message and memes spreading, adding up and amplifying themselves that we can make the world change. So it's the whole theory of shareism trying to discover the economy model of sharing. For example, I will ask you that why you are here today. The question is very simple, and you could answer me, maybe I want to get some information, get some knowledge from this kind of discussion, a lecture. The same question to me, why I'm here by myself? I want to share, definitely. But why I want to share is because of I can judge, I can absorb their energy from you guys because you come here to listen to me, to give my the courage to speak out, to talk about, to share more, and I feel it's a kind of fulfillment. This is kind of an economic model. I share art, you share me back. That's a basic model of shareism. We, it's the same thing to the Web 2.0 world, we experience for many years and we discover that the economic model is very much fire. Because many people share their information, share their knowledge to the surroundings and go through the whole social network, but they see real returns in their life. That's the economic balance we can see through shareism. So I argue another thing later I will mention, the more you share, the more you gain, the more you can get from your surroundings. This basic rule will take control of the future Internet world. I want to argue. But before that, I want to share you guys, can you see this? Technical guys, please. We need to switch to the slide. Okay. Anyone there? Okay. Perfect. I add this slide today, just before this, maybe 30 minutes before this talk. I want to share what is happening in China now. It's also based on the understanding of social media. So you guys maybe know this blind lawyer. Mr. Chen, he was protected supposedly very safe in the US Embassy the last whole week, after some Internet activists went to his village to save him from the house arrest of China of the local authority. And the US Embassy guys, including the ambassador, take him to the hospital later yesterday. Originally China government and US government reached an agreement to set him free forever. However, things changed. Originally, if in tradition, you know, event happenings, you know, we could say that the traditional reporters on media will say, oh, it's a good ending finally. And we published the report that the Chinese human rights record could have been reaching a new level, whatever. Yeah. However, it's just because of the social media yesterday. One the guy went to the hospital. People found that it's not really safe for him because his family member cannot see him in the fast forward yesterday afternoon. And the guards there provide prevent people from visiting him as well. And for the hospital, it's surrounded by many, many policies to stop price and people to visit. Also, the mainstream media started to deleting people's buzzing about this case online, it's Chinese social media website. However, there are still many people buzzing this case on Twitter, a blocked website in China because many people in China use VPN to access this kind of global social media. So in this case, people found that it's not a real final solution to this human rights activist. It's that it's going to be worse because of the agreement didn't really executed. And then many people started to question what's the deal between China government and US government. So afternoon, so many people started to question the two governments and the mainstream media reporting the happy news and those traditional media reporters, they cannot stand still there. They started to investigate this. And in the afternoon, all the media reports changed their tunes. So it's happened that in one day, it's not like the traditional daily newspaper reporting one story and changed the next day and it won't focus on the real time happenings like this. So if you search now, you can see many Twitter updates, maybe over 50, one minute, you know, will pop up to your timeline because everything is still happening. And today is supposed to be the China-US dialogue, the strategic dialogue happening. Hillary Clinton is there. And let's see what will going on with this case because many people are still worrying about the safety of the family. Okay, that's a real time thing happening. But we love to go back to the old time. When China was still in its prosperous age, there are many old inventions in China, technically. Like this machine is a very interesting machine that tried to separate the green from the pests and the straws. So it's a very effective machine to give people the food. And it's documented in a very early book back to 14th centuries. So it's very much advanced inventions in China. However, these kind of things didn't spread around the world. They kept in China for a long time for about 500 years until 18th century. And someone in Scotland, they used this kind of invention to make money because they copied this machine for many, many, many times. And people use this machine in different places and they generate, you know, they use this productivity tool to generate more money. And then advanced the tool to use the horse power and then use the machine power, you know, more and more to the advanced world. I won't tell that, I won't argue that just this machine lead to the industry revolution in the Western world. But anyway, it indicates something that in a closed country like in China, it's forever in 2000 years, it's a hierarchical world. You know, even there are some very creative innovations. If people don't really share these kind of things on knowledge, you know, things could not be upgraded, you know, could not be improved and cannot make money. However, in the Western world, they did. You did. So things changed today. We have many, many economic, you know, phenomenon in China now. One is very famous called Shenzhai. Anyone here knows what Shenzhai means? Oh, at least some of you, yeah. Even this, the plain meaning of Shenzhai is village-mate is something copycat, you know, from the real product. For example, like the iPhone 4, when the product released, just after one week, there's a copycat in China called the iPhone 4. You know, so the same, also looking the same, roughly same functions, you know, from the user interface. However, you know, the performance or the other things get different. And we have some other, this is a very interesting Germany-based, you know, reward called the plagiarism, I'm not sure if it's the right pronunciation. It just tried to reward, it's a joking to those copycat products, you know, because when the deaf and the air multiplier invented in the US, there's soon a Chinese copycat coming out. And also, up to the military industry, they copycat the US and Russian jet fighters, as well as the bullet train, you know, China copied many technologies to put together into their bullet train to be the fastest growing, fastest growing high-speed rail around the world. So, the question is, is Chinese, they can only, are those Chinese only copying or they also can inventing? There's a big argument of this, beyond copyright issues, the intellectual issues. I would argue that it's a very early stage of things happening in this country, because after long-term economic issues in China, they still need quite a while to learn from the world and they try to, you know, share these kind of things from their design to their, you know, every aspects of the products, then they learn to improve that. And I think it's kind of a good sign that many Chinese manufacturers, they're starting to collaborate with the international design studios, and this is kind of a new model to link the design powers from maybe other areas into China to make it into product. We see many projects from a website called Kickstarter. You know, many people put up their ideas online and they made this product in China to transfer the ideas into the real product. So it's a kind of idea traveling from somewhere, in the other word, into China with the manufacturing capability, you know, integration, so they can make the final product. This is a kind of a very good case of sharing. Let's talk about ten years ago when we think about sharing. It's a kind of anonymous word. Many people may be very familiar with this comic. It's a kind of Internet philosophy at that moment. One, two docs talk about Internet, one doc tell another the secret. Internet is so amazing because on Internet nobody knows your doc, right? Yeah, this is ten years ago, even twenty years ago. Many people think about Internet. But now it's changed. Sometimes on Internet, even the doc want to show off themselves. They want to seek those followers. And some people perceive the followers as their social capital and some people think that is fine. It's entertainment. So nowadays we see Internet actually the social media age. After the Web 2.0 technology improvement, we see so many new identities emerging, the real identities. Whether you use the real name or not is the identical thing to many people. They would love to start sharing from their social media centers. So many people started to grow their firsts around them. The fur is not the animal fur. It's the Internet kind of synapses to extend it to the world. It's like a hairy person around you. So you touch base the world with different synapses. Some with your Twitter, some with your Facebook, some with your Google Plus, etc. And different kinds of blogs, photo sharing and video sharing tools. So this kind of sharing is not so boring like the traditional sharing of your property. It's different property. If we share an apple with several guys, everyone can only get a piece of that, right? It's kind of a losing of those physical parts from you because you have to be very, very gentle, very noble to sharing this kind of physical work. So to an apple sharing is different. But for the idea sharing, for the information sharing, the knowledge sharing, like today's open causeware movement, the sharing things, it's not something losing. It's about generating new torrent of bigger things. So if you have the identity around you, I share something online from my original creation. I would try this kind of sharing along a social network, like some people visualize those things, how those ideas were amplified or enlarged in the social network. However, it's not the traditional Internet. We cannot find who is the original creator because it almost goes to the big enterprise or maybe published than Lucille identity. Instead, today's social network gives us a handle that everyone knows this is your creation. It's very much interesting to challenge the traditional copyright things. Why we protect copyright and intellectual properties before? Because we're worried about, we lose that because other people could steal that as their creations. That's a kind of fear in our emotion, our feelings. But with the kind of identity resolution, we can have this chance to redefine how intellectual properties could be protected instead of using the traditional enforcement ways, like the patent, like the trademarks, etc. We see through the whole Internet and can see how my ideas get across the social networks to be enlarged. So I just illustrate some people, interesting people in China. Some people may know Ai Weiwei, Kai Fuli, Qin Guangcheng, the lawyer, and the girl there in the right corner who saved Qin Guangcheng from his home arrest by herself. All these kind of things happening in China is based on not so long, just three years after Olympics, that's the social media booming. So Chinese government censored all those popular international social media websites, including Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc., flicker. However, the local social media websites growing up, they started to take the role as the media to help people to share their information from their daily meal to cute cat, to flowers, to their datings, whatever, you know, in China. It unleashed the power of Chinese people from the traditional closure of information. It generated a lot of connectivities between different worlds. I illustrate these people because they belong to different worlds. Ai Weiwei and the author, they belong to artists, and some guys left from the geeks groups, and some guys right belongs to the activists. They're not alone. They're not in their own bubble. They were connected. So the information may flow from those connectivities. I call it the circuit of information. It's just what we think about the brain neural network, as I mentioned later. So let's look, examine, try to examine a case. I won't talk too much because you all know this, the Latin case. It happened last year. One of the very interesting sharing of this Pakistan engineer, he was waken up by the US military helicopters, the sound, the big sound. So he felt that, what happened? So noisy. So he tweeted this. However, you know, Bilal Deng himself, he's not a new fashion guy. He used mobile phones instead of Twitter. So he didn't check the Twitter timeline. Like he was attacked to death. If he, let's think about this, if he used Twitter to check the timelines around his region, what could happen? People don't know that. It's something like WikiLeaks. You never know what could happen after some information shared out. It's opportunity change. So if we share ideas, I'm talking a negative case of this, maybe a very extreme case. But let's think about the opportunity when we share ideas. If we have some ideas, we keep it in the safe box. We never know the value of that. However, if you open it up to maybe in different ways, in different language, we can see what could happen from along this kind of sharing. It's a kind of a viral effect. We never know. Okay. These two guys want to talk more words between every way, and this guy is called Feng Zhenghu. He is also a legend figure in China. These two guys just met in every way studio after this guy was allowed to enter in China after 90 days of stuck in Tokyo airport because he was there protesting China government not allowing to enter. He holds Chinese passport by the China government, specifically Shanghai authority doesn't allow him to enter Shanghai for several times, but abduct him back to Tokyo because he is an activist. So the guy stayed in the airport like the movie terminal shown. He stayed there and demonstrate and the guy is a very traditional guy, so I called him. I called Mr. Feng, you can try a new tool called Twitter. He said, what? He didn't understand with that. I tell him that you can use mobile phone to send out a message that everyone knows what's happening to you in the airport. So he started to use the tool after 90 days of protesting, the China government allowed him to go back because so many people visit his tweet and send food, send clothes and trying to buy tickets to visit him, to talk to him, is kind of face losing to Chinese government. So that's why the government cannot stand this kind of movement anymore. Some single kinds of tweets. So these two guys, they together meet up finally and become friends. I call it open activism, it's an art combination with activism. We need these kind of creativities like people mentioned. We need creativity, we need amusement, we need jokes, whatever, to try to break the traditional media control and hierarchical control. This is very much interesting and matters. So that's the definition of terrorism coming. We, it's not the traditional sharing, we just try to push people to share but don't give them any benefit of understanding. I don't think that money incentives is the only way to encourage people to share them because many people sharing today, they're not simply caring about money return. So at least don't care about immediate money return. However, I argue that if you share more, if you keep your identity, you know, focusing and if you use different tools and channels like Mr. Fong, you know, he keep trying, trying updating his message, you know, all the time and eventually let all the world know him. As a kind of power, you know, he accumulates from his social sharing. So share is a kind of accumulation of capital. The more you share, the more you can accumulate this social capital. It's kind of something valuable and measurable. It's not the virtue thing. So the social network reconnect this kind of human nature because our human nature studied from sharing. Our society studied from sharing, sharing of fairs. No, not fairs. Sharing fair lightning skills and sharing foods to each other to become interactive and language emerged from sharing as well. It's the human nature, but we are losing that. Why? We need to think about this. So the theory of sharing is engaging with the boring methodologies and theories from the neuron technology, the neuron sense. I call it social neural network. For example, we, ourselves here and around the world, we don't need to think too much about ourselves so much important. But just think back to us, we are a single small neuron in the big brain. You know, every neuron has many synapses to others. We need this kind of synapses and we transfer the information to other neurons and eventually this kind of neural network can generate many information flows and circuits to help our ideas to be shared, to generate larger torrents, to amplify the ideas, to be more creative and generate solutions with this kind of circuits, you know, happen everywhere all the time. It's a social conscious happening. So we have this kind of pyramid thing from those every second sharing from like tools like Twitter, you know, we send from our mobile phones, devices, desktops every second around the world now. You know, there are 200 million tweets every day on Twitter. Nearly Twitter this website. And we have many blogs from this kind of torrents of information. People, those bloggers will still use, collect those information to make it into article and the journalist also making reports based on this kind of information. And then we have those more collective knowledge back to Wikipedia, et cetera, and into books. And then we got new theories and new consensus from the whole society. This is kind of a collective effectiveness. And we can have more collective intelligence even to a sense of sacred. You can perceive this sacred meaning by yourself anyway. So what's next? The Sherry Riesem book is writing and I want to see how Sherry Riesem could be applied to everyone's daily life. So we are trying to talk with many manufacturers like the mobile phone devices. How can we ensure the pictures, the taxes, the information on their devices can be easily shared to their social networks with a single click of a button, with a single click of a selection that we can see the message starting from here, like this conference room to the whole world. So that's my wish. And I think everyone can benefit from that. Thank you so much.
 Okay, this is the last session of today, right?  So I didn't see so many people here coming in, but more people are entering.  So I want to ask more questions today instead of talking too much because I want to see  if not it's not only my personal sharing is about how people share in your spirit back  to me as well.  That's about shareism.  So shareism in definition is a very short, the very shortest definition is the moment  of sharing.  Why you share, how to share, and what's the result of sharing.  So it's a theory about sharing.  It's a kind of new theory we are developing, but actually it's from the people itself.  So today I want to just want to share a little bit about shareism theory by showing some  cases we are studying from the me, a very simple, small idea in our mind, how it can transfer  into action in our real world, in the physical world.  So it's always the question from our surroundings that why we share, it doesn't make sense,  we only share information.  We should try to do something in the real world.  Whenever I would argue that it's just because of sharing, because of the message and memes  spreading, adding up and amplifying themselves that we can make the world change.  So it's the whole theory of shareism trying to discover the economy model of sharing.  For example, I will ask you that why you are here today.  The question is very simple, and you could answer me, maybe I want to get some information,  get some knowledge from this kind of discussion, a lecture.  The same question to me, why I'm here by myself?  I want to share, definitely.  But why I want to share is because of I can judge, I can absorb their energy from you  guys because you come here to listen to me, to give my the courage to speak out, to talk  about, to share more, and I feel it's a kind of fulfillment.  This is kind of an economic model.  I share art, you share me back.  That's a basic model of shareism.  We, it's the same thing to the Web 2.0 world, we experience for many years and we discover  that the economic model is very much fire.  Because many people share their information, share their knowledge to the surroundings  and go through the whole social network, but they see real returns in their life.  That's the economic balance we can see through shareism.  So I argue another thing later I will mention, the more you share, the more you gain, the  more you can get from your surroundings.  This basic rule will take control of the future Internet world.  I want to argue.  But before that, I want to share you guys, can you see this?  Technical guys, please.  We need to switch to the slide.  Okay.  Anyone there?  Okay.  Perfect.  I add this slide today, just before this, maybe 30 minutes before this talk.  I want to share what is happening in China now.

So it's happened that in one day, it's not like the traditional daily newspaper reporting  one story and changed the next day and it won't focus on the real time happenings like this.  So if you search now, you can see many Twitter updates, maybe over 50, one minute, you know,  will pop up to your timeline because everything is still happening.  And today is supposed to be the China-US dialogue, the strategic dialogue happening.  Hillary Clinton is there.  And let's see what will going on with this case because many people are still worrying  about the safety of the family.  Okay, that's a real time thing happening.

It just tried to reward, it's a joking to those copycat products, you know, because  when the deaf and the air multiplier invented in the US, there's soon a Chinese copycat  coming out.

So you touch base the world with different synapses.  Some with your Twitter, some with your Facebook, some with your Google Plus, etc.  And different kinds of blogs, photo sharing and video sharing tools.  So this kind of sharing is not so boring like the traditional sharing of your property.  It's different property.  If we share an apple with several guys, everyone can only get a piece of that, right?  It's kind of a losing of those physical parts from you because you have to be very, very  gentle, very noble to sharing this kind of physical work.  So to an apple sharing is different.  But for the idea sharing, for the information sharing, the knowledge sharing, like today's  open causeware movement, the sharing things, it's not something losing.  It's about generating new torrent of bigger things.  So if you have the identity around you, I share something online from my original creation.  I would try this kind of sharing along a social network, like some people visualize those things,  how those ideas were amplified or enlarged in the social network.

So let's look, examine, try to examine a case.  I won't talk too much because you all know this, the Latin case.  It happened last year.  One of the very interesting sharing of this Pakistan engineer, he was waken up by the  US military helicopters, the sound, the big sound.  So he felt that, what happened?  So noisy.  So he tweeted this.  However, you know, Bilal Deng himself, he's not a new fashion guy.  He used mobile phones instead of Twitter.  So he didn't check the Twitter timeline.  Like he was attacked to death.  If he, let's think about this, if he used Twitter to check the timelines around his  region, what could happen?  People don't know that.  It's something like WikiLeaks.  You never know what could happen after some information shared out.  It's opportunity change.  So if we share ideas, I'm talking a negative case of this, maybe a very extreme case.  But let's think about the opportunity when we share ideas.  If we have some ideas, we keep it in the safe box.  We never know the value of that.  However, if you open it up to maybe in different ways, in different language, we can see what  could happen from along this kind of sharing.  It's a kind of a viral effect.  We never know.  Okay.  These two guys want to talk more words between every way, and this guy is called Feng Zhenghu.  He is also a legend figure in China.  These two guys just met in every way studio after this guy was allowed to enter in China  after 90 days of stuck in Tokyo airport because he was there protesting China government not  allowing to enter.  He holds Chinese passport by the China government, specifically Shanghai authority doesn't allow  him to enter Shanghai for several times, but abduct him back to Tokyo because he is an  activist.  So the guy stayed in the airport like the movie terminal shown.  He stayed there and demonstrate and the guy is a very traditional guy, so I called him.  I called Mr. Feng, you can try a new tool called Twitter.  He said, what?  He didn't understand with that.  I tell him that you can use mobile phone to send out a message that everyone knows what's  happening to you in the airport.  So he started to use the tool after 90 days of protesting, the China government allowed  him to go back because so many people visit his tweet and send food, send clothes and  trying to buy tickets to visit him, to talk to him, is kind of face losing to Chinese  government.  So that's why the government cannot stand this kind of movement anymore.  Some single kinds of tweets.  So these two guys, they together meet up finally and become friends.  I call it open activism, it's an art combination with activism.  We need these kind of creativities like people mentioned.  We need creativity, we need amusement, we need jokes, whatever, to try to break the  traditional media control and hierarchical control.  This is very much interesting and matters.  So that's the definition of terrorism coming.  We, it's not the traditional sharing, we just try to push people to share but don't give  them any benefit of understanding.  I don't think that money incentives is the only way to encourage people to share them  because many people sharing today, they're not simply caring about money return.  So at least don't care about immediate money return.  However, I argue that if you share more, if you keep your identity, you know, focusing  and if you use different tools and channels like Mr. Fong, you know, he keep trying, trying  updating his message, you know, all the time and eventually let all the world know him.  As a kind of power, you know, he accumulates from his social sharing.  So share is a kind of accumulation of capital.  The more you share, the more you can accumulate this social capital.  It's kind of something valuable and measurable.  It's not the virtue thing.  So the social network reconnect this kind of human nature because our human nature studied  from sharing.  Our society studied from sharing, sharing of fairs.  No, not fairs.  Sharing fair lightning skills and sharing foods to each other to become interactive  and language emerged from sharing as well.  It's the human nature, but we are losing that.  Why?  We need to think about this.  So the theory of sharing is engaging with the boring methodologies and theories from  the neuron technology, the neuron sense.  I call it social neural network.  For example, we, ourselves here and around the world, we don't need to think too much  about ourselves so much important.  But just think back to us, we are a single small neuron in the big brain.  You know, every neuron has many synapses to others.  We need this kind of synapses and we transfer the information to other neurons and eventually  this kind of neural network can generate many information flows and circuits to help our  ideas to be shared, to generate larger torrents, to amplify the ideas, to be more creative  and generate solutions with this kind of circuits, you know, happen everywhere all the time.  It's a social conscious happening.  So we have this kind of pyramid thing from those every second sharing from like tools  like Twitter, you know, we send from our mobile phones, devices, desktops every second around  the world now.  You know, there are 200 million tweets every day on Twitter.  Nearly Twitter this website.  And we have many blogs from this kind of torrents of information.  People, those bloggers will still use, collect those information to make it into article  and the journalist also making reports based on this kind of information.  And then we have those more collective knowledge back to Wikipedia, et cetera, and into books.  And then we got new theories and new consensus from the whole society.  This is kind of a collective effectiveness.  And we can have more collective intelligence even to a sense of sacred.  You can perceive this sacred meaning by yourself anyway.  So what's next?  The Sherry Riesem book is writing and I want to see how Sherry Riesem could be applied to  everyone's daily life.  So we are trying to talk with many manufacturers like the mobile phone devices.  How can we ensure the pictures, the taxes, the information on their devices can be easily  shared to their social networks with a single click of a button, with a single click of  a selection that we can see the message starting from here, like this conference room to the  whole world.  So that's my wish.  And I think everyone can benefit from that.  Thank you so much.
