Okay, this is the last session of today, right? So I didn't see so many people here coming in, but more people

centering. So I want to ask more questions today instead of talking too much, because I want to see if it's not only my personal sharing, but how people share bring your spirit back to me as well. That's about shareism.

So shareism in definition is a very short definition. 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, you know,

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, you know, 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, you know, we only share information. We should try to do something in the real world.

However, 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 are, why I'm here by myself?

I want to share, definitely, but why I want to share? It's because of I can judge, I can absorb their energy from you guys, because you come here to listen to me, to give me 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 economy 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, you know, we discover, we experienced for many years, and we discovered that the economy 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, you know, 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 is the

basic rule, we 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 had 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 whole last week,

after some internet activist went to his village to save him art from house arrest of China of the local authority, and the US Embassy guys, Fox,

including the ambassador, took him to the hospital later yesterday. Supposedly, 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 or media will say, oh, it's a good ending, finally, and we published a report that the Chinese human rights record could have

been reaching a new level, whatever, yeah. However, just because of the social media yesterday, when 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 guard stairs

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 in Chinese social media websites.

However, there are still many people buzzing this case on Twitter, a blocked website in China, because many people in China, they 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 activists,

it's that it's going to be worse because of the agreement didn't really execute it, and then many people started to question what's the deal between China government and US government. So, after noon, so many people started to question

the two governments and the mainstream media, you know, reporting the happy news, you know, 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 happened that in one day, it's not like the traditional, you know, 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, Chen Guangcheng, you can see many Twitter

updates. Yeah, 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, you know, was still in its prosperous, you know, age.

There are many old inventions in China, technically, like this machine is a very interesting machine that tried to separate the grain from the pests and the straws, you know, so it's a very effective machine to give people the food, and it's documented in a very early book, back to 14 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 used this machine in different places, and they used this productivity tool to generate more money,

and then advanced the tool to use the horsepower 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 or knowledge, you know, things couldn't be upgraded, you know, couldn't be improved and cannot make money.

However, in the Western world, they did, you did. So, but things changed today. We have many, many economic, you know, phenomenon in China now.

One is very famous called Shenzhen. Anyone here knows Shenzhen, what Shenzhen means? Oh, at least some of you, yeah, understand this, Shenzhen is a, the plain meaning of Shenzhen is village-made, is that it's 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 outlooking, the same, roughly the same functions, you know, from the user interface. However, you know, the performance or the other things could be 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 try to reward, it's a joking to those copycat of products, you know, because when the death and error multiplier invented in US, there's soon a Chinese copycat coming out.

And also, up to the, in the military industry, they copycat the US and Russian jet fighters, as well the bullet train, you know, China copied many technologies

to put together into their bullet train to be the 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 of economic, you know, 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 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 Kickstarters, 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 travelling from somewhere in the other world 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 10 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. When two dogs talk about the internet, one dog tells another the secret. Oh, internet is so amazing because on the internet, nobody knows your dog, right? Yeah, this is 10 years ago, even 20 years ago, many people think about internet

but now, it's changed because on the internet, even the dogs 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 an identical thing to many people. They would love to start sharing from their social media, you know, centers.

So, many people started to grow their furs around them. The fur is not the animal fur, it's the internet, you know, kind of a synopsis 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+, 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 a different property. If we share an apple with several guys, everyone can only get a piece of that, right? It's a kind of losing of, you know, those physical parts from you because you have to be very, very gentle, very noble to sharing this kind of physical world.

So, to an apple sharing is different, but for the idea sharing, for the information sharing and knowledge sharing, like today's OpenCourseWare movement, you know, the sharing things, you know, it's not something losing, about 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, then lose your identity. Instead, today's social network gives the givers 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, you know, because other people could steal that as their creations.

That's a kind of fear in our, you know, 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 patents, 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-Fu Li, Chen Guangcheng, you know, the lawyer,

and the girl, you know, there in the right corner who saved Chen 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. Although Chinese government censored all those popular international social media websites, including Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc., Flickr, 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, you know, meal, to cute cats, to flowers, to their dating, whatever, you know, in China. It unleashed the power of Chinese people from the traditional closure of information.

It generates 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 belong 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, I will mention later. So let's try to examine a case.

I won't talk too much because you all know this, the Laden case. It happened last year. But 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, you know, so noisy. So he tweeted this. However, you know, bin Laden himself, he is not a new-fashioned guy. He used mobile phone instead of Twitter. So he didn't check the Twitter timeline. Then 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 know, you never know what could happen after some information shared out.

It's opportunity change. So if we share ideas, I'm talking an active 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,

expressed 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 everybody. And this guy is called Feng Zhenghu.

You know, he is also a legend figure in China. These two guys just met in everybody's studio after this guy was allowed to enter in China after 90 days of stalking 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 showed. He stayed there and demonstrated, and the guy is a very traditional guy, so I called him. You know, I called Mr. Feng, you can try a new tool called Twitter. He said, what?

He didn't understand what that, and 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 words, because so many people visit his tweet and send food, send clothes, and trying to buy tickets to visit him, to talk to him. It's a kind of face-losing to the Chinese government, so that's why the government cannot stand this kind of movement anymore.

It's from a single kind of tweet, you know. 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 shareism 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. 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. Phone, you know, he keep 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 shareism 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 networks reconnect this kind of human nature,

because our human nature started from sharing. Our society started 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 shareism is engaging with the boring methodologies and the theories from the neuron technology, the neuron sense. I call it social neuron network.

For example, we ourselves here and around the world, we don't need to think too much about ourselves, so much important. We 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 these kind of circuits, you know, happen everywhere all the time.

It's a social culture happening. So we have this kind of pyramid thing from those every second sharing from 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, merely think Twitter, this website. And we have many blogs from these kind of torrents of information. Those bloggers will still collect those information

to make it into article, and the journalists also make into reports based on this kind of information. And then we have those more collective knowledge back to Wikipedia, etc., and into books. And then we got new theories and new consensus

from the whole society. This is a kind of 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 Rizem book is writing, and I want to see that how Sherry Rizem 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 clip 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.
