I'm glad you found your way here.
Welcome.
Now this is a good way to start a story.
Because this is meaningful. It's about what you have learned and
what you know.
This is what matters.
This is your story and how it begins for us.
With these; the important 'life lessons', made into do-it-yourself
workshops.
It is a way of being playful, and the result is that I can do what others might only watch.
The time when I learned how to fire dance (like the Polynesians or like in the circus), is a story
about what can happen when we are given the supportive freedom to reconstruct ourselves,
from how people have seen us before.
It happened when I met some grown-ups at play, who said; playing is better than being
entertained. Playing is an alternative to what others do. Who would you be if no one you knew
were watching?
It's fun, come play with us, it's safe because participating is belonging.
We welcome the stranger.
Sing, dance or drop your pants.
No spectators,
Leave no trace.
We are self-selecting, inclusive and responsible.
Check your public persona at the door.
You are welcome, so remember to also
Ask First.
Protect the Community.
Pick up your Sh*t.
What we do in repetition is how customs become our culture.
How this fits your identity is
the story you tell to yourself;
If it's going to be, it's up to me.
Now, what you do is up to you.
...
Here is why I get up each day.
It is knowing I am one of the people equipped for doing what the
world needs most.
The needed basics.
The talent stack.
Understanding how Strength through Unity works.
Greater gratification, more perceived justice, more satisfaction,
and increasing productivity.
Unity as a talent. Ubuntu, in Swahili.
A dream I have, ... I believe in a saturation of Interconnection, I
believe by the effect of our hyper connection, by knowing
ourselves and the context we live in, by a profound
understanding of systems and motivations, we can enjoy Strength
through Unity with elegant interface, effective organizing power
and market efficiencies.
A mission, a motivation, a design.
An app.
A game.
A market exploit.
A community exchange.
A patch against capital-destroying conditions and against the
damages of rent-seeking.
A bolster to motivating capitalization, security, and stable flexible
and transparently informed markets.
Alert to both hidden Internal exploits like bureaucratic mission
creep and responsive to uncommon External circumstance.
...
Ethics is simple.
Good things are good, and bad things are bad.
Ethics is how we compare the good things, and which good things
we may want more than other good things.
Understanding how good things are compared is simple.
It is universal and doesn't need to be written down to understand.
Everywhere and at every time, in every language, people smile
and laugh and use swear words, and have fears and have desires
and motivations.
Think about that for a moment. Every human community
everywhere in history uses swear words. Some things are
universally human.
Universally, people value Love, Respect, Loyalty, Justice, and
Mercy.
Ethics is about the contrast of universal values.
(The use in language of the words Morality and Morals is
different semantically from the word Ethics.
I must say this in today's culturally sensitive climate;
Morality is different from Ethics.
In that;
Ethics is derived from universal values and judging the contrasts
of values when two or more values or motivations are in conflict.
While Moral codes and Morality may be ...
