Who the Fuck, Why the Fuck, & Whaaaa…? OK.

What are the principles I am moving towards… maybe a better verb would be, moving for? It’s hard to translate the aching in one’s heart into words at the very least, and its harder to translate that ache into a meaningful creation in the world.

Statements of self, and self-worth. I think about who I want to be, and what I want the world to be, and all the skills and structures that I want to experience, and I look back an don’t see a body of my work to clarify what direction I’m going.

Who am I, and What am I aiming for, and how does that help anybody? I hope that one day this blog will be a polished gen with a purpose, right now it’s the cathartic, messy, birthing spittle of a purpose seeking an avenue in the world.

Meshing who I am, what I want to be and do and see, with the world in such a way that those things can come to be.

So… What is this about?

What am I about?

I believe that at the most fundamental level of reality, beyond space, time, and experience is awareness. Call it God, Tao, Chi or the Force, what ever.

I believe that there are anti-entropic forces. AKA a tendency for the universe/nature to arrange it’s self in more, and more complex systems. Call it creation if you must, but there is an organizing principle as well as a disorganizing principle (entropy) at play.

I believe that as human beings we have a unique opportunity. Our minds are capable of direct experiences of the underlying awareness of the universe, and they are capable of deriving insights into the workings of nature. Combined with the ability to use tools (thank you opposable thumbs), we can apply these insights with this thing call intent.

Intent, is likely widely available in nature, though, yet again human beings poses a unique ability to harness this quality and use it, with yet another amazing thing, Choice.

Choice or free will, is why you are here today.

Now as human beings we have a choice, devoid of morality, simply do we want to support the organizing, complexity factors in the universe of the disorder, entropic forces in the universe. Yes, yes, yes, I hear you physics’ No matter what we do we’re bound by the laws of nature. If we want to create a supercomputer linked mass consciousness trading platform to run a global economy, we have to burn fuel and that negates the anti-entropic effects of all that matter organization. I hear you, and your not all right. Another answer exists in lock step, and that is; it does matter what we choose to do and in a universe where it does matter on one side of a coin, and it doesn’t matter on the other, it’s a wise idea to choose the behavior that matters in the direction you want to go.

Now. For me I want to support the organizing forces in the universe. Why? Because its fun! Because it feels good, because it brings me joy, and every person I’ve seen everywhere has the same response to this organizing principle.

I believe that the best way to support this organizing principle is to be the ultimate symbiont to life on earth while producing ever higher levels of technology. I believe this term is a “Techno-Topia”

Is land going to have to be cleared to make a factory? Will energy have to harnessed to run that factory, refine the materials, power the lights that children are educated by? Yes. Will there be tradeoffs? Yes. But lets remember the why we choose to do these things and them do them in harmony with that larger goal.

You’ve heard the saying “the ends justify the means.” I think that when you are building a better world that that statement is absolutely false, its backwards. Whenever you’re improving something, it’s that “the means must do justice to the ends.”

Think about it, when you’re attempting to do any type of self-improvement you undertake activates that support who you are becoming, and the same is true on any scale. That’s a big statement, and I acknowledge that there are some leaps that don’t have a 1:1 translation, but the principle is consistent.

What we’re seeing today in society, and in the global eco-sphere is the manifestation of our accumulated intent, which has largely been some caveman – dark ages game of thrones type of shit mixed with capitalism which translates into exploitation.

People have been building systems and institutions to amas power, to enrich them selves, and understandably so. Power means that you are protected, and when your neighbors are assholes and will kill you for your shit, its necessary. But as our personal borders have begun to overlap with each other more and more, and the resources at hand become more and more intertwined with your neighbors, the horde it all and fuck you system begins to break down. A new way of thinking, interacting and building is required, but there’s a leap of faith that’s required, because all of a sudden you have to go from ridged borders to open borders, and this only works if your neighbor treads respectfully on your land.

All this to say that for me personally, I need to this world open up, I need to help open my self up. I need to teach and learn how to walk softly on my neighbors lawn. I need to learn how to be a gracious host to those who tread across my yard. Business has to learn how to be a good neighbor too.

All that to say; This blog is about opening up, its about teaching and learning the skills to be a good human being in relation with others. Its about teaching, growing and creating businesses that consider them selves human beings with responsibilities like the rest of us to not be ass holes. Its about steering the systems, institutions, people and practices in that direction.

This blog is about the outcomes of our cumulative actions 1000 years from now, and how to make that a fantastic place to live in!
