Hope you're having a good weekend Robert,

Actually do not believe there is something intrinsically wrong with the picture you draw of attention for cross-cultural globalization (marketing blurb etc.) versus attending our own back gardens in cultural alignment between knowledge facilitators and knowledge participant groups (kpg's lets say, as distinguished from CoP's).

As you stated earlier, scale doesn't really matter. Globalization is like social talk in groups to find and embrace or fight buzzwords as the (enemy) mascot and avoid exact definitions, facilitating communication. Cultural alignment is finding the like-minded possibly in a less than approvable way, to ensure comfort and results.

Let me return to Bergson for a moment. "Socialization of truth" (The Creative Mind, 1992: 87) creates a virtual object repository. How do we build this repository? It depends on how we socialize. How do we walk on the (wild) side of the abyss? Do we call for mimetics or for the scientific method?

The "wildcard-effect" you refer to can be an accident waiting to happen, but so can attending the backyard. The only way to prevents falling in is the critical attitude (from which knowledge grows), where mimicked like-mindedness is not the criterion but independent data and information judgement is, even while us humans long for comfort and dependency.
