Ok this is for my fans of deep inspirational poetry.

The man had the best poets write the lyrics and his songs are a form of worship that have specific times in the day when they can be sung.
I sold my heart in the moonlight to her magic gazes. 😳

I'll go the extra mile and translate the lyrics for your benefit. It's basically soul food if you are inclined to enjoy a late-night trip to the stars and breathe in heavenly scents.

In loneliness, I can plaint [lament, audible expression of sorrow]
Some may define this as a prayer or request being made to God
A desolate [dead] place I can bring back to life [rejuvenate]
When you want [desire] I can not meet you, however

when you want I can think of you [remember you]
What is the purpose in adorning your [already] beautiful face [countenance]
there can be greatness [something special] in simplicity

You , who comes and goes ...
to the mosque [place of worship] to offer your prayers
are you even aware [comprehending] of how many peoples prayers are disrupted [in your being there]

I have seen you in innocent springs
I have seen you in luminous stars
My beloved, I swear on your veiled presence [beauty]
I have seen you through a stream [shower] of tears

after today...
after today ...
after today
this will not happen again
this meeting
[this meeting] will not happen again
Storms such as these will come again
rain [fall] such as this, will not come again

At night, they too, felt [sensed]
that this night would will not come again
They, who gazed once, and then looked back
this alms giving [charity] will not happen again

I remember the moonlit night
I remember that [specific] meeting
Looking at their thick [luscious] hair [long beautiful locks]
I remember that enchanting rain [fall]
My eyes have awoken [risen]
love [passion] has yawned

My eyes have awoken [risen] love [passion] has yawned
Dealings of the heart were complete on that moonlit night
their gaze has done such magic [their gaze has enchanted me so] [enthralled/charmed]
we were looted [heart was taken] in the first meeting

their gaze
has enchanted us so [in such a way]
Placed alcohol on a seekh and a kebab in glass [gone mad, lost awareness]
This is the magic [enchantment] her gaze has done to me

we have forgotten our conscience [become unaware]
we have forgotten our conscience
we have also forgotten our faith
we have forgotten our conscience, we have also forgotten our faith
My heart is not set on that gathering
I am unaware of what I have forgotten

The thing I was going to say to them [!] I have forgotten to say
I remember [?] of those unrelated to me
we have forgotten our own
magic [enchantment] such as this, her gaze has done to me

What kind of gaze [sight] is this [my friends]? I have been affected...
sometimes it becomes electricity [the feeling, the affect]
and other times a shamshir [sword]
My gaze has met her gaze in such a way
I have had to leave all bonds I have built over time

In the gathering my gaze was constantly drawn to them
I tried to prevent it countlessly [lakh, 100,000] yet my gaze moved to them
In their gaze, without doubt, there was magic
magic [enchantment] such as this, her gaze has done to me

their gaze has done such magic [their gaze has enchanted me so] [enthralled/charmed]
we were looted [heart was taken] in the first meeting

My eyes have awoken [risen] love [passion] has yawned
Dealings of the heart were complete on that #moonlit night

Have a gander at the work of a master (Caravaggio). The Calling of Saint Matthew depicts the moment when Jesus Christ inspires Matthew to follow him and become an apostle. For those of you who may not know, Matthew was a tax collector.

Matthew 9:9 "He saw a man named Matthew. sitting at the tax collector's booth. "Follow me". He told him. and Matthew got up and followed him. Now you see that part of the scripture? Seems like a series of events. Right? WRONG!

Caravaggio inserts human emotion into otherwise sterile words on paper, giving them heft and life. See how Matthew is sitting next to 4 men? Two on his left are consumed by their worldly professions?

The big lie:

You need serendipity! Don’t live in an information bubble!

Wrong. Smart people curate their information diets. This whole social media experiment is hiding a truth from you. They want you to communicate via them. Serendipity comes from REAL life conversations.

It’s why you should always strike up a conversation with people when you are out and about. Talk to the gym receptionist. Talk to the Uber driver. Talk to the security guard. Talk to the nurses. Talk TO them not AT them.

Social media positions everyone to talk AT other people’s talking points which are also curated behind the scenes. It’s all dishonest. It’s perverse.

One of the key influencers of decision making with regards to design from an architectural point of view is the orientation of any building in relation to the sun. The sun provides an immense amount of info about the world. Using that as a guide to work with, instead of against.

So we can look at how art, and photography is heavily influenced by the same concept. Where is the light coming from? How does that create depth? How does it create a relationship between the user and their content.

When we design applications at #moonlit we take this into consideration. We want to be informed by practices other than our own. We get to go and harvest the riches of fields much older than our own.

Game theory:
Pros: Gives you a frame of reference to evaluate information, even if partially correct.
Cons: Gives you false confidence in your assessment of others.
Where does it fail? It gives you a static understanding of a dynamic situation.

If you're an excellent communicator and the person across from you isn't one, you can dynamically convert their frame of reference without much effort. Do you want an example?
Ok, let's take the concept of Russell Conjugation and test it. Finish with a Nietzche example.

Making a sales pitch can cause some people to perspire, others to sweat, and the lucky few can glow. See that? It's 3 different ways to describe sweat. The contextual usage of visual queuing makes it emotionally appealing or repellant.
