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
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
