“The Anticommunication Imperative”

Larry Richards wrote this paper and presented it at the 2009 conference of the American Society for Cybernetics in Olympia, WA.

There are times when a new idea needs to be protected from getting forced into old language – from having its newness ignored.  Those of us who wish to avoid having our new ideas and proposals stuffed into the framework of someone’s ideology may want to think in terms of anticommunication.

Anticommunication is not an opposition to communication – it’s an alternative that you can explore and refine, in addition to exploring and refining communication.  Herbert Brün invented anticommunication, and others are developing it.

This is a final version made in December 2009.
