life is art

and i feel like that is what i'm going to do with it

maybe i already began
maybe we all began, but maybe we have to truly realise it
i've ran some tests against reality

they came back negative / positive

no; nothing has to be turned into work

yes; life can indeed be lived entirely as art
waking up is waking to our nature as creator
the nature of those tests:

insisting on being creator shatters our illusory reality

not budging, not allowing others to turn our art into work

not allowing any suggestion that our creativity can or should be managed

this causes our work reality to fade away

there is no fight
work is a system of gaslighting — of artificial reality creation — established by narcissists and those who fear them

the method of defeating narcs is to take them out of the picture

refuse to play their games

and to let them fall in love with our games

then invite them in

crypto enables creators & represents new spaces & ways to play inside the existing economic paradigm

we should embrace the freedom it brings for us to design & more truly lead our own lives

but it isn't the ultimate promise, as it neither a native digital nor a new economics
here is the difficult new reality:

– if you're a creator, you should be in web3/daos/crypto

- if you're looking to create a sustainable community, you should be in web3/daos/crypto

– if you worship money, you should be in web3/daos/crypto
here is the really difficult new reality:

you need to be all three

i've consistently been 20- 30 years ahead of my time with some of my technology predictions & visions

except i never had a method to build any of them

i'm now 30 - 50 years ahead with technology & economic ideas

there are reasons for me getting started with @theunfoldingway
however, i shall continue with learning basic linux & doing 'home projects' on a raspberry pi, and doing what look like very weird things with regards to this unfolding way thing

this is because you have to accept that to unfold the future, you must start right where you are at
i wish i started right where i was 25 yrs ago, and was v. close to doing so & achieving financial independence at the start of the internet age

i'd no idea how personally transformational that could have been

those lessons & convictions are inherent to how i choose to live now

life, for me, is a doing
and never a done

this way, it stays blissful

this is my problem with identity
identity feels too much like a done

it's taken as an unchanging thing

that, to me, feels like a prison
and not a wide open field

not a brand new thing
to be held in wonder
we would normally acknowledge changes and growth in our identity through the association of new roles

but with the internet and the possibilities of what we can create, the reliance on roles to perform this function feels like an old world method of identity change
what's possible with our online environments is a much greater fluidity of identity, through experimentation and anonymisation

this seems a playful way to hold, alter and to destroy identity

A #LearnInPublic & #BuildiInPublic thread

The intention is to have a Raspberry Pi as a dev environment for web / web app & python projects primarily, for these endeavours
I'm going to approach this in my customary haphazard & non-linear fashion

No plan for the thread

Just a document of what I'm doing, as it unfolds
First thing I learned a while ago is that there is some complexity to creating a bootable SD Card for a Pi

I'm not quite sure what that is
