Linda –

I am very impressed in you and also that this class can initiate the kind of thinking you display in this message—especially in relation to belief systems and information. I don’t know if there’s been any work on belief systems as information systems. But, it certainly makes sense. What are the attributes of a belief system as information system and what are the implications? Batya Friedman’s “value-sensitive design” is relevant, but your point goes even further. Cheryl’s work on user needs across cultures speaks to this but is also informed by it.

Very intriguing. Thank you for sharing with me.

Mike
