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
what i'm saying is i was hitting on stuff just out of the purity of the activity i was doing in my 20s

just from being engaged in community, both online & the then-emerging online, + building stuff with & for those communities

just out of pure curiousity of the new internet age
it is this spirit of curiousity through which all will be discovered

happy serendipitous accidents resulting from our innate drive towards self-organisation

the sensing that something new and real is possible

new senses emerging, through which we co-ordinate & create
i recognise i was always my best self in that place of curiousity

that we were indeed developing these brand new senses

that this is what it is all about!

this is what technology is for
this is what life is for

to sense the changing air
to be there

to have made it
together
so once again, the thing is not the thing

it's not the specific technology which matters

it's not this crypto or that DAO

it's the building of new technological senses, and the simultaneous re-discovery of our most primal organic ones

the perfect marriage
the sweetest romance
when technology is deeply human, new harmony is created, & the world is a more beautiful place again

i wish this as a home for this kind of spirit, beauty & harmony

at least within me, and to any i invite or who come along to join me

your self and your spirit are very welcome

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

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

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
