This year? Diziness, distraction, alienation. Too much rush, less time for true.

Re-Napstering
Surprise! I was never imagine internet superpowers will act in the same way like their offline counterparts, decades ago. And now Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook and Microsoft are playing again the verticalisation game with their mobile platforms and app stores.

That turbulence is what the real worlds are trying to arrest with their histories and their plans, but in the actual world, there is no past and no future, only the present. All we know of it is in the present. All we know of the past we know because it is here with us now, in living memories or…

Memo Leaked, Banks Plan Attack On Occupy Wall Street
The banks will use $850,000 to conducted surveys to try to smear the OWS movement. They believe the OWS movement should be ‘treated as a competitor’.
This only proves that the 1% are, in fact, afraid of us.

Control and Technology
Tech has no feelings.
The rest of us have. Our culture is shaped by different belief systems letting born such superorganisms like Fear, Love, Ego, Greed, God and Free Will.

Many of us don’t realize this absence of integrity — they are freely manipulated, even looking for deception.

Your heart won’t be able anymore to follow your brain. next, your attention will become very narrowed allowing you to focus only on a very few people at once and only on very interesting conversations. With other words you’ll become incompatible with life outside your computer. Nothing...

This is hilarious:
The “Craigslist robber” offers a minor but illustrative example of obfuscation as a practice turned to criminal ends. At 11 AM on Tuesday, 30 September 2008, a man dressed like an exterminator in a blue shirt, goggles and a dust mask, and carrying a spray pump, approached an…
