Show is over, work begins.

"So, the answer is a different kind of yes. Unexpected."

"The job is not to just win the opportunity. The job is to finish by turning that opportunity into a lasting victory. A sustainable perception of win transcends fads, propaganda and the like. Evergreen so to speak. Fashion celebrates change for its own sake. Meaningful change on a larger scale is different. I think, better. Agree?

"There are those who believe that the right kind of character, at the right time, can change the course of the planet's history. Those folk look to be rolling up their sleeves. Little time left to waste on the futile games of blame. Or for the non-inclusive short-cut agendas masquerading as viable alternatives."

Having only dabbled in the possibilities of empowered mind over last several years, there was only enough time to test against the recently assembled massive data set. Was the identity vector exploration just a rabbit trail? The jury is still out, one guesses.

There is the possibility that said query was inadequately defined for the intended purpose.

Vibratory Destruction

A fascinating discussion for me really. I found him very engaging. The level of ambiguity indicative of uncertainty in my model of the identity. For a bit my mind wandered off into a more thorough exploration of what that might mean.

Single and authentic are surely not the same thing in the identity level under consideration. Yet when it comes to attaching a convenient token to a dynamic being, it is often what is sought?

Replicating useful class identities is foundational to life as we know it, organic. But at a metaphorical right angle something with an entirely different 'value' is suggested.

Like the cold east wind, a foreboding presence caught my attention. "Don't look there", it seemed to say. The brief demands of this nature generated stored rationales that had been laying on-the-shelf for years.

Take Good Care of Her

"So it is with a newly humble awareness that I ask this of you. No scenario I can currently imagine would be complete without it.

"It is because I am better for having been touched by their lives that I request such. I am hopeful, all will be brighter as a result."

Can the form of identity be what what we sincerely choose it to be and achieve the network effects discussed so far? Some think not, others not sure. Discovering the scope of doubt goes with the territory. Easier to handle with little to lose?

Mysterious Candor

"Many of the answers you are seeking are probably, more or less, embedded in the log. And know that what is not said speaks volumes.

Not Venus, I am pretty sure.

"With regard to the mirror on each side of the soup divide: something important may be missing. With a robust tool of the type I assume exists, one might 'see' just where to look for such entities. The appropriate map would infer candidate conceptual adjacencies."

"Are you referring to the places the especially fearful dare not acknowledge?"

"Well yes, but I was afraid to say so directly." he said with a sheepish smile.

Giving Thanks

"Stand back! This one will stand alone. At least to the degree I am capable of making it so."

"This is what I think I know of love so far. My words have  not taken me there yet. My heart, a different story -- I just checked. It feels risky for me to say how much I revere what this union has produced. Just a simple "I love you" seems not enough.

"Our only (pictured with us below) inspires me more than I can express (though I will keep trying).

Three females (wife, daughter, cosmic dog) sealed with a kiss."

Blessed

Think of it as food for this.

"The story is written just-in-time. The framework, based on character development, keeps the audience engaged even during the expected lulls in tangible creative output."

"The Invention is a story about friends that derive joy from their relationships and mutual passion for collaboration to create the next big thing.

"The idea only works if it is basically true that generating value from something really new is usually a solo and therefor often a lonely pursuit."

Just how universal is the perception that creating is unnatural and highly dangerous pastime and should be reserved for supervised children, she wondered.

Meanwhile the invention to which we refer is -- wait for it -- unwritten.

Profound Victory

"Should we discuss the following in terms of genome as protagonist and its ugly malignant antagonist?"

A rational thread runs through it. Is that now unraveling? One way to think about the question, a recycle routine prepares the now obsolete substance for re-use based on performance during the just ended cycle.

To the degree this is a smart step and conscious (managed with compassion) the outcome becomes better than the default. Or not. Discuss.

Ideal Venue?

"We decided to hold the war right here in town. If the two main advesaries are, say, Capitol Hill and K-Street ... Ok, let me think of a better example and we will come back to it.

"Having it here lowers fuel costs, not to mention carbon footprint. This place is already wired extensively for media coverage. TV rights alone may cover a large corrupt private contractor payroll.

"Folks in the talent pool don't even need to move their families when an employment contract expires."

A knock on the control room door meant that she had the new war promos in hand. She handed him the identifying thumb drive. The simultaneous mount of both hers and his authorized immediate playback on the large screen.

From it, the trailer's narrative began. "Its a New War. And you, my fellow American are invited to watch from the convenience of your living room or den."

Exceptional for Whom?

"Easy question to answer. No? Sort of like, 'Fiscal cliff for whom?"

"Meeting tonight. It would be the first in a long while for me. It may not be related.

"Conversation as manufacturing output is non-sequitor, right?"

"Sorry, I needn't be facetious."

Talking past each other in an effort to fool an audience that is not really paying attention. Purporting that a consensus building interchange is occurring and if anything that really matters comes up, audience members can jump-in as appropriate.

"We have trained experts to do what is needed so that all you really have to do is follow orders."

What Could Go Wrong?

"Organizing using feed-forward of error prone abstraction mechanisms is a red flag. Is it not?"

"With the benefit of hindsight, both abstraction imperfection and predictive filtering hazards can be analyzed far more easily than in realtime.

"The content driven hindsight window is the exciting part (for lack of a better term). At least it seems so. Context means much to the definition of hindsight and realtime here."

Micro Private Equity

Original equity is acquired each time  by a new member when first enrolled. It grows in direct relationship to the network effects caused by expansion of membership.

Combust

"Why? In the context of this information disease we call cancer, I mean."

"Try this: A quest to create meaning based on the passage of time. 'Go forth and multiply' (or something to that effect) is an example. Whose meaning is worthy and what is it."

"By abstracting essential functions, instructions can be distributed with economies of scale. I understand DNA transactions have this quality and our knowledge of how it works is accelerating."

Her idea was to the set the stage in lay terms. Not everything is caught that can pose a 'disassemble" danger by the highly-evolved immune system.

"Over-simplify and replicate, you fool." If he had left a few words out, it might have a whole different meaning. Complexity is not its solution. Nor is simplification."

Like A Silence Grows

There is one among us with a long record of reinforced feedback of a particularly destructive kind. There could be more, but that misses the main point.

"The specter of self-inflicted manipulated perception, with or without purposeful cause is fraught with risk. In a domain largely dependent on repeating patterns, free will can be and has been downright spooky. How many times we hear a salient fact of human visual perception - most of what we see is what we expect to see. Manage with caution and resist betting the farm."

She did not see it that way, apparently. And if that was, indeed, the case, her articulation of a counterpoint requires a certain openness on the part of the receiver that had yet to be adequately demonstrated.

Cross Check

"And what if those speaking to veracity regarding authenticity lack that quality in self reference?

"Self calibration, in this case, did not adequately include the deeper meaning of authentic."

He again felt a rush of confusing thought brought on by another sudden vigilance that had been 'not in focus' or 'off-the radar'. A whole class of these perceptions rose as one as the leading major denial collapsed. He seemed to recall having heard a flavor of systemic shame described this way.

The world would surely be better place if this destructive pattern could be neutralized in a way friendly to sentient beings. Making any insight better understood, meritorious.

Experience

McCullough tells the story of the artist's depression while in Paris and wanting to end it all at a bridge there. And when the long suffering creative had arrived, he looked around at the beautiful city and said, "But I don't want to die." That wonderful narrative voice conveying the most heartfelt descriptions of an artist's dark feeling turned to light seems as a good a platform for a life pivot as any. The stuff of history, well told.

"So when I saw on cell's caller ID who was calling, I knew it was a conversation I wanted to have, for better or for worse (I expected the former.) That conversation lead me here, dear reader. Back to a comfort I had not ever in my lifetime known until just a few years ago.

You see, this person I have known well enough to anticipate different and better. He dares to believe we do have something to say, and more importantly, to do, about our destiny, individually and collectively.

Public Executive Order

"He looked at us and said with heart-felt conviction, 'You did it.'

"In effect, that we in our actions have made it possible to turn the tide. Proving to each other that working together, our aspirations are more than empty rhetoric.

"Think about it. A full four years this time to achieve sustainable momentum. No more campaign distraction - a two term limit assures that."

Monster of the ID

Is now the time to see what connectivity can do with this fundamental challenge? It has its detractors. Think, "Too Much Information". From the perspective of the network infrastructure, this is not true. But for those for whom it is supposed to serve? Its an open question. Some of the stuff in there is so ugly it should be unspeakable, unknowable, unseeable etc? Who decides and how?

She said with deep sincerity and for good reason, "Never give up." Those that may have fallen on the metaphorical field of battle have not made a contract with darkness. It is for them, the admonition to rise again. And so it shall be. We cannot know now what form the light will take but rest assured it will shine. Meaning as foundation for life.

"Your sentences are incomplete."

"As are some of my thoughts. More or less, up and down as time marches forward. Is it so unusual?"

Can't Type That Fast

"You both have correctly concluded that I am Looney Tunes. Now what?"

He seemed to hear, "Is that a trick question?"

To which he had a quick reply … that dropped out of his awareness, instantaneously.

---

So what is the fascination that would drive a few bright folks to read this stuff? One could fantasize that it is of interest because it speaks generically to a common quest for new meaning. A bright side that some would view as irrational. Yes, Prudence. That view has its counterpart. Be afraid, very afraid. Much exists in-between and is probably more relevant."

"But Mom, I don't want to go there."

"Son, there is nothing to be afraid of."
