More About Me

I'm passionate about

Everything and nothing. They are both the same. Passion is too extreme for this body to endure anyway.

An idea worth spreading

Ideas are futile. People want results not cheap talk.

Talk to me about

Anything.

People don't know that I'm good at

Nothing. Mastery does not exist. Improvement is perpetual. With repetition tasks get easier, that's as far as being 'good' at anything goes.

My TED Story

I found TED by accident. That's as far as it goes.

• A comment on Talk: Josette Sheeran: Ending hunger now

  Aug 31 2011: They always talk of ending something. Why don't they just end it?

• A reply on Conversation: why protests don't work in the long run

  Aug 29 2011: What are you going to do? You are only one man. I am only one man. Can anybody truly change the 'WORLD' ?! I think not. There is no change only a recombination of previous modes of understanding and conduct. All of histories notable people have not made it easier for anyone to function. Confusion persists and their wish and desire for 'change' compounds into the present moment. When is it going to stop? Changes of policy don't help. New ways and systems don't help. Everything is met with skepticism and abhorrence. Degeneracy is inherent in all things. This is the end.

• A comment on Conversation: Name ONE idea that you think has the potential to make your city/state/country/ 'our world' a better place?

  Aug 27 2011: The only idea I will ever support is one that encompasses all of mankind in a technical and scientific way. If one man or woman is left out it is a failure.

  Aug 27 2011: The world doesn't need to be a better place. Earth is a paradise. It is inherently and innately supportive of life. The earth is not alive, it is a host to life. What we need is a more technically efficient world. We need to allocate resources more effectively and efficiently and not let the minuscule rich hoard all of the abundance of the planet. Why after all of these centuries no one has yet come forth for an overall direction to spread the riches and wealth in a graceful way and manner? All I hear is talk of love and kumbaya; basically business as usual.

• A comment on Conversation: why protests don't work in the long run

  Aug 27 2011: Protest don't work because it is inane babbling and rambling. What good is it to rage against anybody or anything? As George Carlin said "power will do what it does." Let me tell you all something, as long as any of you are invested in the system in any way, shape, or form, your position is compromised. For a 'movement' to work a total repudiation of all of human thought, thinking and functioning must be in order. Protest are simply a form of clinging, a cheap supplication to inherently corrupt and deficient systems. We need to withdraw! Not bark and claw!
