Babbage
too choose
which thought
built a machine
fear of being wrong, silly, or mad
we have wiring that connects the loudest circuit
when it's the quiet ones
who have real power
flowering of open source
a magic force
from beyond the mind
built upon doing what's kind
not re-sisting but re-creating
doing other than "the man's" been fating
fading record industry
Bill Gates BASIC misstep
was greed
spends his retirement planting seeds
start a popular movement, ad campaign, or open source environment
Tells you the computer can't decide
Stuck in a loop
faithfully forever turns on computer screen
a much deeper message than it might seem
adrenaline doesn't care.
And now the essay:
“Inspire others to Start Something (e.g. wikipedia). They could just as easily have the thought, make money, be lazy, believe fear - but something made them think of something altruistic. If altruism is not at the base of it, likely it will not be open source and don’t pretend to self or others or you’ll waste everyone’s time.
Lawyers,
DJ’s, collaborative hackers join open-source projects not for money, but
the mind gets a
better feeling for innovation or a desire for something deeper than
self-interest
each
moment the mind
is full of contrary opinions and must take a poll.
It’s
a ship with no captain. That can be dangerous
this
is why many who’re in turmoil, seek a father figure
And
others build an internal father figure – sometimes overbearing – to create
order for themselves
“Well
functioning” adults have bought into cultural (or counter-cultural value
systems as reference)
Means
one of the thoughts gets elected leader quickly
The
less bloodshed (internal strife) the quicker the body takes actions or
words/concepts arise
If
it’s egoic, for example the
project is meant to solve some personal desire or fear, this muddies the water
Thus
if you can create without baggage, you are more apt to succeed
The
mind sees through a construted identity. Without
that it’s unsure how it could make decisions
It
ignores the minor, cutting edge, candidates who can (like in USA) create full
and real change. But people fear chaos, both on a political level and on a
personal level
The
who election (in our minds) is built upon identificanion with all that chatter. We think it matters who wins our
internal election.
Paradox:
it does and doesn't.
The
latter as its all just mind forgetting it’s a tool and thinking it’s you. That
said, cultivating (voting for) altruistic thoughts weakens ego-identification.
Just
don’t get an ego about it!
