Re: End of year reader, holiday Greetings, the old web

The recommendations set forth in the first reference are now available in StratML format at https://stratml.us/drybridge/index.htm#SPMHC or, more specifically, https://stratml.us/docs/SPMHC.xml
From my perspective, each of those recommendations would benefit from the application of tools and services supporting the StratML standard but especially this one:

Objective 2.2: Strategies ~ Utilise strategies to assist clients who may be experiencing cognitive problems in the areas of attention, memory, planning and organisation, to undertake daily activities and maintain independent living.

As the report notes, mental health care workers have been forced to reinvent the wheel in that regard, when they could benefit from having model plans available in an open, standard, machine-readable format.
Soon the recommendations set forth in the report will also be discoverable at https://search.aboutthem.info/, where a query reveals that 213 of the >5.7K plans currently in the collection reference "mental health" and 27 of have explicitly related goals/objectives. 
Time Well Spent has explicitly valued mental health.
With reference to the title of The Verge's article, the vision of the StratML standard is:  A worldwide web of intentions, stakeholders, and results.
No doubt, bad actors could screw that up too but AI would have a better chance of helping us achieve our objectives if we were "representing" (documenting) them in an open, standard, machine-readable format.  Presumably, it could also help identify bad actors as well as "innocent" folks who don't really know what they are trying to accomplish and could use some help in figuring that out.  Ideally, it would also help us understand both the motivations and means applied by bad actors and take more productive steps to address them.
Dare I say that it could help dissipate the cognitive fog?

 Greetings W3C AI KR CG cc SWIG (FYI),(you may skip the rant and go straight to the links )

 not sure how many here are in festive joyous mode. Things are tough, a lot are falling apart everywhere.Incomprehensible, logically inconsistent layers of data and processes  that cannot be understood let alone verified. Facts that contradict each other, sources that are not accountable. Things that do not follow, what is false but said to be true pervades our systems, our lives. With awful things happening between the cracks.

I am glad we have an AI KR CG because we can maintain and share a long thread of issues pivotal not only to AI, which is driving scientific and technological progress across the board. but also pivotal to our cognitive processes, which are central to maintaining our mental healthhttps://mhcc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/2016.02.17._supporting_cognitive_functioning-_mhcc_version__v._11__.pdf
How long can people continue to maintain their sense of purpose, direction and orientation  without  KR, in this otherwise flimsical world.

I ll be brief with my season's greetings and just take the opportunity to sharethe xmas holiday reader for those who are still learning (most of us, I hope)
1. This NYT article mentions that AMERICANS are under a cognitive fog, 

Oh Well. Not just americans.

From my perspective, being persistently deceived by the media, and now by the internet,  presented with fragmented inconsistent logic is designed to break people's ability to think. It is called mind wrecking and it is a well established tactic of psychological abuse.  It is easier to break people when they are disoriented

One the one hand we have been building  open data, the open web, open standards. the common good, on the other hand we are being consistently ruled and driven  by adversarial approaches (designed to deceive and being dysfunctional)
Some think this  cognitive fog is being deliberately inflicted to people by folks who know what they are doing and their funding agencies and those who hire them
A talk on psychological abuse (PA) points to how misleading and manipulative information messes up with people and social networks etc . Things can get complicated. The talk is generic about PA but it ends up mentioning the role of KR and AI and possibly the web at large


2. The Atlantic makes a good point: Nobody Knows What’s Happening Online Anymore  SORRY BEHIND PAYWALL BUT READ THE FIRST FREE PARAGRAPHS TO GET A SENSE and a pointer to 3
3. Follows on from 2, 
The Verge: AI is killing the old web, and the new web struggles to be born
Santa, can we have the good old web back please

Good wishes for 2024
