Talk:Michel Bauwens

message: This is all very interesting, but is not notable according to WP:BIO. All the work is self-published on the internet, with no published references. The supposed 'institute' appears to be a web page. --Backface 14:24, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Bauwens vs. Wilber is not even a valid comparison, since Bauwens no longer does anything remotely related to Wilber.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by PaulBHartzog (talk • contribs) 20:38, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I've just made numerous small changes to bring this page up to Wikipedia standards, in appearance at least. 
The AFD is too stale for me to comment upon, but my impression is that this page is useful content, and I personally wouldn't bother parsing the fine print at WP:BIO. Surprise, surprise, the primary sources for a theorist in P2P collaboration are self-published by traditional standards. Seriously, here we are on Wikipedia—itself a seminal project in this space—and still we can't see the forest for the trees? 
The real problem on this page is that the central section P2P theory is an incomprehensible word salad of buzzword bingo. 
::New thing indispensable for vaguely perceived future change! 
Really? Or does his theory extend beyond organizing unexpressed sentiment in a new space of human activity into merely a denser word salad than we had before? 
:: If you jargon, they will come. — Field of Dreams
You get the feeling that many people have drifted into this manner of loose P2P collaboration, but they all secretly feel like it's a giant circle jerk, so they hire Bauwens to give a nice little speech, and he basically says: "no, it's not just a giant circle jerk, because jargon onslaught—and don't you worry your silly little heads, the undefined modality of personal compensation is merely an exercise to be solved by future participants, who will add this missing arch stone to our fine creation any day now". 
If the theory section can't become more crisp, then maybe this whole thing is a giant circle jerk, and then I retract my notability comment above, though not for reasons of sourcing as such. — MaxEnt 14:24, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
