It has been a mistake living my life in the past. One cannot ride a horse backwards and still hold its reins.
As long as a government can come and shoot you, you can't jump on the Internet to freedom.
The nature of business and government has been to build a surplus and self-perpetuate, but the Internet fosters and rewards smaller, more fluid organizations.
Don't leave hold of your common sense. Think about what you're doing and how the technology can enhance it. Don't think about technology first.
From the business point of view—not to overstate it—intellectual property is dead; long live intellectual process. Long live service; long live performance.
What's really going on here is, this is a media shift. It's comparable to what happened in the 1950s and the birth of electronic mass media back then. This is the birth of a new kind of personal media, where, instead of we're all watching one program, we're all watching each other. And the history of media makes it really clear. Whenever we have a big innovation, the first wave of stuff we do is pretty crummy. The printing press gave us pornography, cheap thrillers, and how-to books. Television gave us Newt Minow's vast wasteland.
I am not in favor of immortality. I believe death for humans is the way of getting rid of accumulated errors - as in trial and error. Without death, the old folks would start to gang up on the babies (the new trials). Immortality --> immortal mistakes.
I don't mind being goofy and silly. I love to make people laugh and I'm not self-conscious.
Too often in life, something happens and we blame other people for us not being happy or satisfied or fulfilled. So the point is, we all have choices, and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to not accept situations.
It has done me good to be somewhat parched by the heat and drenched by the rain of life.
For I am not so enamoured of my own opinions that I disregard what others may think of them.
