I don't think the public even noticed how industry shifted the expense
of processing away from the server to the consumer using JavaScript.
Is an affluent society more susceptible to hysteria? An affluent
society is more likely to want to protect what they have. There's no
doubt
the individual will err on the side of caution. Often as not this will be
a wrong assumption about someone, but knowing human nature as we do, we
don't want to take the chance. So does this behavior escalate to
community or societal involvement in the assumption and turn into a
hysteria.
The internet has moved commerce to the World and helped trash the economy
that invented it. Idiots.
No! You can't convince people a hysteria is going on while it's
happening. People are caught up in the hysteria and can't see it.
It takes gregarious people to make the World work. Most of the time
when I reach out to someone, usually in curiosity or a desire to
communicate, people are absolutely 'shitty'. I don't know how to
describe it
any better. They are rude, short tempered, disruptive, negative and
generally seem to work to tear down the bond. So how do people expect to
advance society if they don't support one another.
It's an absolute miracle that society does advance, at all. Take the
few away who do make an effort to support one another and I believe you'll
have the destruction of civilization.
You are a good citizen when you just consume and only create what the
institutions tell you to.
We have forsaken our heritage. How horrible the consequences will be.
Companies cover themselves in a layer of bureaucracy that, we the
individual, can't penetrate.
If you say President Bush was a great president people will quit
talking to you. However, President Bush was a great President because he
guided America through its most hysterical time making quick decisions
with leadership utilizing a complex office. Unfortunately people will not
appreciate his effort because they need someone to blame rather than take
responsibility for the hysteria they all participated in.
Mass hysteria is a societal norm. People oppress and destroy as part
of the masses. Now in this information age information has never been so
rapidly abused, manipulated and corrupted.
There's easily a thousand years of research and discovery I'd like to
pursue.
Asking an expert is a shortcut. A lazy shortcut.
The most intellectually productive part of the day is the morning. So I
wonder why we spend such a large part of it commuting?
I only see glimpses of your wisdom so I wonder if you have any.
The real danger of the media is that it provides a clean sterile view of
community. In reality community is dirty, difficult and bonds are hard
won.
All those original tastes, senses and smells, are anchor points we go
back to in our lives to get our bearings.
So this is how socialism gets it ugly claws into people. We heard
about this form of government in history classes at school, but now, in
America, in 2011 it all seems so obvious: they start by taking from the
rich and giving to the poor.
Imagine a World with community. People could trust each other, they
would know each other and they could live with each other. Life and
occupancy would take priority over public health, safety and possession.
The media has whipped the public into a frenzy of child molestation and
the problem is most people think they are smart enough to rise above the
onslaught of the media.
America is tearing itself down and yes you can see it on the street
where people tear each down. Try it. Just throw out an idea and watch
how, like a pack of dogs, people will tear it apart.
There is no compromise with faith.
A long time ago, boys and girls, before the internet, sound and video
files, people used to read. They read text files and they also did
research before they uploaded those text files, and made sure their facts
were correct, their ethics were fair, and the impact of their document was
considered before they distributed it to people they didn't even know.
Occupy your brain with numbers. Do math.
Burn out politics.
Warning! A little knowledge is a dangerous thing and I like to play dumb.
Civilization ends when what is right is wrong.
Computers, which used to be the domain of hobbyists and enthusiasts are
now fast becomming the domain of government while the public is enamoured
with high tech toys.
It's inevitable. There's an opportunity and the populace flocks to it.
Son, if you find an opportunity don't tell anyone, not even your dog.
Because if you do, as quick as that it will be gone. You can tell me
though.
If you're not supportive you're destructive. Draw the battle lines.
I always thought marriage had nothing to do with sex or at least sex
had such an insignificant part in marriage that it was meaningless. Sex
is a Madison Avenue word that has nothing to do with relationships.
Well we proved it. Once a society reaches affluence people do not
acknowledge great achievements and hard work. It's because of their
arrogance. Their ego won't allow them to recognize a great
accomplishment. A society that doesn't recognized and support the great
achievements amongst itself is destined to mediocracy.
The computer industry is the most arrogant, ego centric, self absorbed
industry I've ever worked in. It's no wonder it's ruled by companies that
have had successful stock offerings.
If you're paying attention, you know the internet is now history.
Heck the computer industry is now history. The entrepreneurial spirit has
been killed by corporate dominance and the patent office. Networking has
been absorbed by hype. Free thinking has been squashed by paranoia. Hey!
It's what the public wanted to do with this new found gem.
Look! A lot of what we do is trying to stay out of view of the
bureaucracy. Not because we want to do anything wrong, but because we
want to live life without the paperwork. Plus most of the time when
you're targeted by the bureaucracy you're treated like a criminal and risk
fines and deterrence.
It's 2012 and we can longer trust the media.
It's amazing how fast people of discarded their history. It takes a lot
of arrognace and ego.
People want to do a good job, but the bureaucracy won't let them.
A computer is a device that can throw a lot of switches.
Congratulations. You've eliminated spam so that now internet bandwidth
can be sucked up by cell phone carriers, video and corporate junk mail.
You killed the small business, who was desperate for the cost effective
advertising email could have offered, and turned the internet over to the
fortune 500.
Aggressive computing is with a clipboard.
Is Hollywood the craft of memory work? There's a certain unspoken
pride about how easily some people memorize their scripts and others
don't. How pervasive is this craft of memory in Hollywood?
The thing that amazes me is that this is the information age and that
everybody's an expert.
The wilderness is not your friend. Some wilderness and title to it is
though. Do you see the difference?
People are always so ready to tear down. How do we deal with that?
Sure I made a lot of mistakes but then again I didn't have anything
important to make mistakes with.
The human experience is to complicated to be regulated. It has to be
guided. It has to be trusted to grow. It has to be trusted to find its
own potential otherwise we live with the consequences no matter how much
regulation is thrust upon us.
Dogs love to play but people don't let their pets play.
I'm all for stewardship of the environment, just not 'lordship'.
Give people their independence and they restrict others.
Society's based on trust. When we rely on the government to manage our
trust people loose trust in one another.
It responds to you and you respond to it.
Selling paranoia.
How clean is clean?
There's bio-speak and there's info-speak. Which do you prefer?
My cars and my computers have so many idiosyncrasies that I don't think
anybody else can start them up.
People have a very limited view of history, but they want a limited
view, their own view. Whose to say they're not right, rather than get
caught up in the mire of details of another civilization or era?
Technologically they can do this or that, and somebody probably will,
but for now the imagination preys on potential and paranoia is generated.
Life is a fragile being. What we think will be is not.
The only control we have in this exciting, unpredictable adventure we
call life, is state sanctioned and they have no sense of humor about
variations from the routine.
If you are a truly creative person you must compromise and play by the
rules, and remember, that when you don't, you must give as much
explanation as possible, and as much advanced notice as possible.
Mammon minion. That would be anyone who owns a credit card. But don't
tell them that.
Usury = enslavement.
There's life and then there's quality of life.
When I was buying a computer I was buying a file server. Unfortunately
it's turned into part entertainment and social center.
The money people control their peons by having them perform a balance
sheet each and every day. Then the charts and numbers plotted from the
data are used to chastise.
Where is the money? It's behind the uniform.
People are happier when they're industrious, you know.
If everyone had a million dollars a loaf of bread would cost a thousand
dollars.
Planning can be a substitute for experience.
Acting on impulse is always a bad idea.
A modern day American is not courageous. Instead he hesitates and his
speech is halting. He is to busy trying to comply with regulations that
have taken away his freedom (neutered his freedom) and his very character.
Stability is a fiction of our youth.
Empowering people with the responsibility for their own actions
enables them to present the best they have to offer. Empowering people
with the responsibility for their own efforts allows us to work with the
best people have to offer.
I suspected history would repeat itself. I just didn't think it would
repeat this fast.
Public safety has transmuted into public enforcement.
What have we lost between the visual and textual media?
Unfortunately I'm nobody. I should be somebody, but I'm not and I feel
it's more the World's loss than my own.
It's 2012 and we can no longer trust the media. Absolutely.
What amazes me is that people who know the bible, or remember just
enough from their Sunday school lessons, joke about it.
Can a nuclear reactor survive a Krakatoa? A Mt. St. Helens? How
about a nuclear strike? And to think they want to build SMRs.
People keep goading other people to go up against the system.
I guess all you can do is admire the incredible intellects around us,
but then so does everyone. Your acknowledgment of a great accomplishment
is not going to make any difference. The only thing that's going to make
a difference is if you apply your own ability in what ever capacity you
can.
Technology, in this information age, entices false accusation.
America has coddled its children and destroyed its civilization.
If you appreciate craftsmanship you know the handiest tool you have
is you. So eat right and exercise and keep that calculator, you call a
brain, working at peak performance.
You got to be kidding. Why would anyone volunteer for the boys and
girls clubs, or working with kids in any capacity, and risk the liability
of ignorant minds who make false assumptions. It's a numbers game that's
drifting to the worst possible scenario with the expediency of the
information age. The victims are social fabric, our children, and the
future of our country.
We live in a class system based on assumed intellect in an information
age.
It's official. America is a police state. Reporting APPs have
enlisted the unqualified into enforcement.
The will of humanity taken over by technology.
America will not survive without the old fashioned values that tied our
social fabric together. Oh of course. What am I saying? We no longer
have a social fabric.
The social fabric has been infected with nanobots. Well not nanobots,
of course, yet, but technology.
I personally hate spring. It means more people will be looking out
their windows and reporting anything they think is suspicious. More
people will be suspect. More people will be watching their neighbors for
anything they think will give them a moment of glory as they dial 1-800
rat on your whoever you feel like. Vicious property line disputes will
turn into expensive legal battles where government agencies are brought in
to spend the hard earned tax dollars we sent them. Divide and conquer.
The social fabric of America has been destroyed with paranoia and mistrust
and the government has stepped in with 800 numbers, and anonymous
reporting apps to accelerate the process. We no longer have freedom.
The people of Washington State have abandoned the discipline it takes
to maintain community. The people have abandoned their heritage. Feb.
2012.
If heavy equipment was abolished, and we used manual labor for
everything, how much healthier would people be. Do we really need that
much that we need a bulldozer to clear our land? This is not a new
argument. There were riots by labor when the backhoe was invented arguing
it would put people out of work. Is heavy equipment a manifestation of
humankinds greed? Change that to 'womankinds' greed to build bigger
fancier nests.
We have/had a false class system in America that created a divide. It
was the credit class system. Those with good credit drove fancy cars and
houses. Those without had 'beaters'. Those with the shiny new stuff,
'thumbed their noses' at those with the worn.
People invite oppression. It is the Lord that lets them walk with
their head held high.
Someone puts in the extra effort and it's just an anomaly.
Something works and you use it. You make it last, a very long, long
time, if you have the know how. It makes life easier and makes us
stronger people. Then you have your people who want to destroy in the
name of building something new. They revel in change and tearing down
that which works. These are two waring factions in our society.
Who are you going to trust: the database or me? 80% of the people lie.
With good intentions, usually. So we have the responsibility to judge
people, on the spot, during our encounter. This builds trust, and
strengthens social fabric.
People should have a right to prove themselves, honorably, with
dignity. Without it we have loss of self worth that weakens trust, social
fabric and ultimately the strength of our economy and our country.
Entering into the era of background checks. We no longer trust one
another, we do a background check. We no longer rely on our ability to
gauge a person, we do a background check. Is society loosing a valuable
ability to interact with each other.
Young adults have the responsibility of propagating the species.
Mature adults have the responsibility of wisdom to guide society. Both
have failed miserably.
Do you daydream when you read? You're reading along, and all of a
sudden you realize your thinking of something different from the subject
matter or what you're reading and you don't remember a word of the last
paragraph. That's loss of focus. The information age, the internet has
taught the mind to race here, there, everywhere and we forget to focus.
The casualty of multitasking is focus.
Right now people are squabbling over houses, jewelry, stocks and bonds.
Take it all away and they'll be squabbling over rocks, tree branches and
rags.
Under the scrutiny of regulation. ZAP! You've been digitized. All of
your records. All of your data. We know all about you. Don't try and
tell us you have goals or ambitions. We know what's best and if you
resists: ZAP! We'll pull your record and you will conform.
Civilization needs something that transcends the ego and arrogance of the
individual and that something is tradition, long since forgotten in the
industrial, media and the information age.
Stand back! A little knowledge is a dangerous things and I will expound.

I'm amazed at how much history is forgotten in such a short period of
time.
Life, as you probably know, is in reality extremely hard. People work
their fingers, quite literally, to the bone, to survive in most parts of
the World. You've had some advantages in America, but those are about to
disappear.
If you put together all the passions, energy, drive, perseverance,
strength, will, charity and love it takes to survive even one moment, and
then you try and surmise the desires and cultures of humanity you would be
wrong. History is soon forgotten because we try and mechanize it and
Institutionalize it rather than carry it from generation to generation
verbally with tradition, emotion, and meaning from our fathers and grand
fathers.
Sooner or later the World's going to take it away from you.
The only time my life has any meaning is when I'm working. Self
gratification is not an option. Why would we live just for our own
pleasure, thrills? It doesn't make sense.
