Clueless state...
"Those captivated by the cult of celebrity do not examine voting records or compare verbal claims with written and published facts and reports," Hedges writes. "The reality of their world is whatever the latest cable news show, political leader, advertiser, or loan officer says is reality. The illiterate, semiliterate, and those who live as though they are illiterate are effectively cut off from the past. They live in an eternal present. They do not understand the predatory loan deals that drive them into foreclosure and bankruptcy. They cannot decipher the fine print on credit card agreements that plunge them into unmanageable debt. They repeat thought-terminating clichés and slogans. They seek refuge in familiar brands and labels. ... Life is a state of permanent amnesia, a world in search of new forms of escapism and quick, sensual gratification."
Of course, they did not get into this clueless state by themselves. They were manipulated by "agents, publicists, marketing departments, promoters, script writers, television and movie producers, advertisers, video technicians, photographers, bodyguards, wardrobe consultants, fitness trainers, pollsters, public announcers, and television news personalities who create the vast stage for illusion," Hedges continues. "They are the puppet masters. ... The techniques of theater have leeched into politics, religion, education, literature, news, commerce, warfare, and crime."

Zack Smiter...
Zack Smiter has an exceptionally canny political instinct for connecting with his own kind. He turned his campaign rallies into giant family picnics, at which the assembled thousands, striking for their physical resemblance to one another, basked in having their own family catchphrases, like "politics as usual," returned to them in magnified form by the monitor screens and loudspeakers. Safely within his tribe, Smiter speaks fluently, with warmth and humor,[1] though grammatical logic tends to evade her; it's away from the tribe, talking, for instance, with Katie Couric, Charles Gibson, and other members of what he now calls the "lamestream media," that he dissolves into flustered babble.
Users.....
Users no longer expect to be passive receivers of information and want to engage with data, each other and non-profit making organisations to help achieve what may seem to be impossible goals and targets. The Radio Dream is about this...

Crowd Sourcing of the radio dream....
The Radio Dream sees the possibilities from applying crowdsourcing to tough questions. Rather than rely on an limited staff of experts, the radio dream turns to much vaster online communities, with their ranks of potentially undiscovered experts.

Social engineering...
Because our assignment required us to compromise a secured facility, we chose to use the identity of one of our Facebook-friended employees to gain access to the building.
The company was large enough for us to choose an individual located far enough from our designated location that the odds of someone knowing him would be minimal. Our chosen individual's profile page provided numerous pieces of information that proved to be helpful in stealing his identity. Posting his job title, phone number, and email address were to our crafting a bogus business card with his information. The posted pictures helped us determine if our guy would be a reasonable match in terms of appearance, height, and weight. Additional profile data helped us learn other specifics, such as marital status , number of children, what schools he attended, as well as other helpful bits of data.
On the day we intended to breach the facility, we prepared our guy who would pose as the employee with all the things we learned from the Facebook profile. He was dressed with a shirt embroidered with our client's logo, armed with business card, fake company badge, and his laptop. Upon entering the building, he was immediately greeted by reception. Our man quickly displayed his fake credentials and immediately began ranting about the perils of his journey and how important it was for him to get a place to check his email and use a restroom. Within in seconds, he was provided a place to sit, connection to the Internet, and a 24 x 7 card access key to the building.
After reaching the goal of accessing the network, he departed at the end of the business day. Later that evening, he returned to the empty office building to conduct a late-night hacking session. As usual, numerous credentials and passwords were obtained from insider sources. Within a short period of time, he had accessed the company's sensitive secrets.
Our successful entry into the client's building, network, and data demonstrates how social networking sites such as Facebook can be abused as a new physical attack vector for the bad guys. When employees are willing to expose personal details of their lives, this can put their employer--as well as their data--at risk.

Social policy...
Under Zack Smiter, prisons and incareration became social policy instead of social policy...
Pessimists...
Our obsessions revolve around the trivial and the absurd, while the course of human history is changing. Those who choose reality over fantasy are derided as pessimists.
the radio dream was about debunking the notion that appearances make everything whole.
Celebrity culture encourages everyone to think of themselves as potential celebrities, as possessing unique if unacknowledged gifts. Faith in ourselves, in a world of make-believe, is more important than reality.Zack Smiter understood this perfectly. He perectly understood that people liked to escape into fantasy and he gave them all the fantasy they could take...

Sharing information...
the radio dream is about new ways of sharing information....
When they finish the process of better and better targeted advertising, that's when the whole idea of advertising will go poof, will disappear. If it's perfectly targeted, it isn't advertising, it's information. Information is welcome, advertising is offensive. Who wants to pay to create information that's discarded? Who wants to pay to be a nuisance? Wouldn't it be better to pay to get the information to the people who want it? Are you afraid no one wants your information? Then maybe you'd better do some research and make a product that people actually want to know about.
At a meeting yesterday, at a famous media company, to illustrate this point, which can be a little subtle today, but will be making people billions in a couple of years, I pointed to my computer and my Blackberry. I said maybe Apple would provide software that made the Blackberry work as well as the iPod works with a Mac, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Then I pointed to something I noticed, another person in the meeting had a Blackberry and a Mac too. Amazing that we would both be customers for the same product that doesn't exist, and isn't likely to exist, the way things are going.
A picture named uncleCrackBerry.jpgAnd that's why things will change. The current product development process, that focuses on a few supposed geniuses and ignores the intelligence that's in the user's minds, same as with unconferences, is about to run its course much as the old style conference can't possibly compete with one that involves the brains of the people formerly known as the audience. Think about it. There's a big trend here, imho it's the difference between the 20th and 21st centuries. In the past the flow of ideas for products was heavily centralized, and based on advertising to build demand. In the future, the flow of ideas for products will happen everywhere, all the time, and products with small markets will be worth making because we'll be able to find the users, or more accurately, they'll be able to find us. "Targeting" customers is the wrong metaphor for the future. Instead make it easy for the people who lust for what you have to find you. How? 1. Find out what they want, and 2. Make it for them and 3. Go back to where you found out about it, and tell them it's available.

Production...
Tyler Sid says journalists should stop expecting "open" platforms like blogging and Twitter to behave like traditional production systems.
Instead, he emphasised the value of listening to the public and being transparent about journalistic processes.
"Things are not necessarily checked or made perfect before they are published," he said.
"They are corrected, they are refined, they are edited and they are checked after publication.
"People coming from closed systems see chaos, but they need to see that open systems work differently."
