Dear Chums . . .
I thought I would get your response to this idea:
If we share in the investment, don't we then share in the rewards?
This is a question of mutual concern that is the practical and actual basis upon which unity is achieved, and it works without distortion on any scale.
If we share the responsibility, then there is rarely an opportunity for conflict or disappointment. Worst case scenario - we suffer and learn together - then quickly decide not to do that shit again! Obviously the incentive to create the most bliss is omnipresent.
The prevalent paradigm has us acting independently with hopes that the divergence will magically overlap to produce harmony in Love. Rather ironic considering how much un-loving we do along the way, maybe moronic is a better description.
Any method of social engagement cannot work when it becomes exclusive in any way, as it will be too disconnected from the reality of a very diverse species to serve itself fairly.
I believe that relationships succeed unconditionally when partners place the union first in all decisions and those discussions are measured by a simple principle - whether the outcome of one's choice will be responsible for the healthy good of everyone. That means we will all be looking out for the health of our associates and partners, in love, business and in politics all the time. My mission in life is to see to it that I help everyone get what they need and want within the realm kindness.
Now I knew most of this by the time I was 6 or 7 years of age, but certainly by age 14. Didn't you? Children are generally better models of spiritually connected people than most adults, so I am trying to recharge my innocence in hope for the awesome potential we fritter away most of the time. I think we should hold Namasté in our hearts at all times - that we respect other's rights to build true spiritual success - and as you know, I don't use the word "spiritual" in a way that would indicate a limit on the where, when, why, how, or how much.
Well, that's my pitch for standard human operating procedure. Show me where there's conflict in humanhood? Come to think of it, I am beginning to detest limiting gender distinctions in words like brotherhood and sisterhood. Is humanhood even a word? How do you talk about the whole hood anyway? Globalhood doesn't sound very personal, even though that's where I come from.

I have for a long time believed that we need better ways of linking up what people need and want with what is offered by other people. I mean, other ways than just buying and selling stuff. My hunch is that if we really look at what resources are available, globally or locally, and we effectively match up what is there with what is needed, our whole planet can operate at a high rate of success and prosperity. And my preference for implementing that would be some kind of grassroots free market mechanism, not any central bureaucracy, whether it is corpocratic or communistic.
But there are various obstacles. One, I think, is to how to pursuade people to be clear on what they want and what they offer, to such a degree that it is possible to actually match these things up. More >

I have had it in mind for a few months to put on a web page about this but my free site limits are shrinking fast. In spring I was experimenting with an 11 by 9 inch magnifing plastic sheet and using it to heat a small bottle of water.. Just to see if it could get it to70 degrees C. It did!
(Once, I used to bring in soil, wet it down and bake it in the oven for a half hour or so to kill weed seeds.
Then when sowing vegetables, I spread a 2 inchdeep (by 4 inch wide) layer of this soil on the ground first and weeds did not grow close to my veg! Wouldnt this be an ideal use for a solar cooker? Could we design an automatic empty and replace mecanism to reload the cooker when the batch of soil is cooked?
I have some thoughts on it but wouldnt mind hearing others! Solar cooker makers take note! And this would be an alternative to weed killers that didnt affect a huge area, and this would be good too.

One of the threads the Minciu Sodas Laboratory is exploring is that of "Working Publically". It doesn't quite reflect on the website yet, but it takes place on some of their mailing list discussion groups that I'm on. The same kind of thing is also going on on an increasing number of web logs (~news logs}, particularly amongst well-known techies on the net, like Jon Udell, Dave Winer or Adam Curry More >

I believe that one of the major obstacles humanity collectively needs to overcome and master is communication between people who are different, have different ideas, different priorities, different backgrounds, different cultures, etc. In other words, how can two people who are wearing different colored glasses still share a meaningful experience with each other. How can there be meaningful dialogue between fundamentally different world views.
Below is an article from one of my processing facilitator training manuals, which tries to break down the process of communication so that it might be understood better. More >

Hello,
I'm Hidenori Watanave,media artist and chief director of Team Photon.
You already know,
We opened the official site of a "communication tool beyond the space-time"
[Rhythm Engine].
[link]
Through the "RhythmEngine", we suggest, "the session which is inherited from
the past to the future using place as an agent" and "music and image
communication which has rich emotion" to the Web-world.
We are going to perform "RhythmEngine" to SIGGRAPH(Web Graphics,7/25 @ San
Antonio) and It was archived in [Rhizome] artbase.
I want you to know our project and carry out a test play,
And please give us your comment,and a chance to spread "RhythmEngine".
And please introduce [RhythmEngine] on your site.
There is access of one days 10000, and it is introduced to [Neural] which is
the media art magazine of Italy,[Art & Science collaborations inc.] of USA,
and Many International site. It seems that the cognition of [Rhythm Engine]
is spreading little by little recently.
