so we always talk about making these big meta tools for coming up with ideas and networking people, i don’t trust them, because yeah, they may change discourse, but is that change for better or worse? is our culture and intelligence being reduced by the ability to spew out whatever we feel like? have i ever said anything meaningful here? hahahha
actually, this applies to a lot of things. i guess it’s hard to judge unintended consequences. i think that’s how a lot of messes begin. unintended consequences. there are only a few bad people out there. but people make small bad decisions. and then they make some kind of decision to fix the problem they just made. then it creates more problems. i think it’s something to do with being afraid to lose. there are some things that are worth fixing, and others that are not.
i kind of see this in my roommate, he is too picky and tries to fix every little thing, about the wiring of tv to receiver, about how to hold a poker game. that just ends up having the unintended consequence of pissing me off and causing us to not play poker at all, because things have to be perfect. i think a lot of the shit he is trying to fix doesn’t matter. i mean, for god’s sake, just let go and live a little. take a risk. at the same time you can’t be like my other roommate, that’s how you get in trouble. you do have to do things like take out the trash. i guess he will learn that when we have to go separate ways. or maybe not. funny how people get away with things in life. like chief executives at enron. and all because we spent our time worrying about the wrong shit.
so yeah, we are working on this nice project, applying to things with it. i will laugh a ton if we put some doctors out of business or something. out on the streets, in cardboard boxes. because that would be totally, utterly, smashingly unintended. well, at least it helps for now. heheheh. no i really believe in this idea. and i spent a lot of time thinking about it.
