    I’m not a magician. If you possess the uncanny ability to elucidate concepts like open source software/hardware to the average consumer and their relation to consumer products then — you’re a literal magician. Magic.

    In my country, political has at least three classes/levels. These are: spin doctor, spin master, and spin grand–master. Most citizens are easily spooked, so it’s easy pickings for politicians/journalists/pundits — the usual. Best to ignore news/politics. Tracking outrage is a fundamental futility, unless it’s your job. ;-)

    In freelancing your job is not to be a hero, but to attract blame and lose arguments swiftly and strategically.

    Customer service, you know?

    People problems > technical problems. This is an axiom. Your tools don’t resolve people problems, only technical problems.

    Everything’s dandy when accolades go up and around. Compliments directed only at you? Bad news.

    Style beats substance.
    Attitude beats competence.
    Foreign beats local credibility.

    Scapegoats (blame deflection) and messengers/prophets (indirection) are the norm. Navigating this is a dark art, and yes, the human mind is magical and highly superstitious.

    Finally, basic auto video caching. Posting just got a tad bit easier…

    Reality is a bonus stage in the lifecycle of jokes/memes. VanillaJS, ZeroVer, and “The Year of The Linux Desktop” are semi–serious concepts now. Makes me . This is the case for everything — including politics.

    Rumor has it that a certain country’s political discourse is actively “memed” by anonymous forums on the Internet. That’s some Serial Experiments Lain type spookiness — funny, until it becomes utterly terrifying.

    Isn’t it peculiar that we internalize mind–body dualism at such an early age? This happens when you intimately realize that your mind does not control someone else’s body or any other entity external to your person. A philosopher told me that.

    The Greeks were clever. The Pythagorean “number line” idea of knowledge: the monad (1), dyad (2), triad (3) — is a sly way of grasping at complexity.

    Humans think/reason by breaking complexity indefinitely into twos/dyads/dichotomies/dualisms.

    The bar for making useful/smart sounding observations is kinda low. Rule: Take a complex thing, divide it into two parts, then as a bonus — express those divisions as a monad (everything is love/a force), and… repeat. Triads/Trialisms/Trinity and higher are undefined for obvious reasons.

    Not a philosopher .

    The Internet graduates from its primitivity once anyone can easily spin up and host a website. and the end–to–end principle pretty please?
