There's a lot piled into the aggregate measures of EEG. And the mere
fact of the canalization conflates the unifying tendencies of the
objective (shared purpose) with that of the common structure (virtual
world, interface, body, brain). But overall, it argues against this
guru focus on "sense-making" (hermeneutic, monistic reification) and
helps argue for the fundamental plurality, openness, and stochasticity
of "language games".
If you want to share values with some arbitrary shmoe, then get to
*work*. Build something or cooperate on a common task. Talking,
communicating, is inadequate at best, disinfo at worst.
I agree somewhat with the spirit of this, however a recent writer/book I
discovered is Sand Talk
<https://www.harpercollins.com/products/sand-talk-tyson-yunkaporta?variant=32280908103714>
by Tyson Yunkaporta and more specifically his references to "Yarning" in
his indigenous Australian culture offered me a complementary perspective...
I definitely agree that the "building of something together" is a
powerful world-building/negotiating/collaborative/seeking experience.
The social sciences use the term Boundary Object
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_object> and Boundary Negotiation
Artifact. Jenny and I wrote a draft white-paper on the topic of the
SimTable as a "boundary negotiating artifact" last time she visited
(2019?). A lot of computer-graphics/visualization products provide fill
this role, but the physicality of a sand-table with it's tactility and
multiple perspectives add yet more. The soap-box racer or fort you
build with your friend as a kid provides the same. The bulk of my best
relationships in life involved "building something together" whether it
be a software system or a house...
