open-source human experiment
since 2019, i've been structuring my whole life to be open-source and streamed in real-time using the l1f3 streaming system.
i.e. i want pretty much everything i do to be public, to varying accessibility degrees, so my life itself can be an experiment into how much this kind of shareability can help with self-discovery, collaboration and positive impact on others.
one obvious challenge this brings up is potential adversarial relationships and exploitative dynamics. i won't address this fully here, but for now, i'm betting that pros outweigh the cons and that's why there are accessibility levels. they're not "bought", but built based on trust networks. more on this later.
in order to get this experiment going, i've been slowly building up an mvp by sharing a minimum viable intentional personal systems setup and tech stack;setup, using the L1F3 management framework.
most of what i've been tracking/implementing still isn't live, but the direction is to have a modular real-time page/dashboard, quantified self-like, similar to how is felix today?, but with less focus on personal metrics and more on data/information relevant for collaboration and impact.
the challenges of building it are many, as very well presented in articles such as the sad state of personal data and infrastructure, digital tools i wish existed and interoperable visions, but i've been slowly doing it with bits and pieces from here and there.
once this project is live, i'll update here with more details on my setup.
