Share your love, your wisdom, and your wealth and serve each other as much as possible. Live in harmony with one another and be an example of peace, love, compassion, and wisdom. Try to be happy in your practice, to be satisfied with your life. Be reasonable in the way you grow, and don’t ever think that it is too late. And don’t be afraid of death. Even if you are going to die tomorrow, at least for today keep yourself straight and clean-clear, and be a happy human being.

I just drop pearls of wisdom. It’s not my fault if people don’t want to pick them up. xD


Know­mads…
1. Are not re­stricted to a spe­cific age.
2. Build their per­sonal knowl­edge through ex­plicit in­for­ma­tion gath­er­ing and tacit ex­pe­ri­ences, and lever­age their per­sonal knowl­edge to pro­duce new ideas.
3. Are able to ap­ply their ideas and ex­per­tise con­tex­tu­ally in var­i­ous so­cial and or­ga­ni­za­tional con­fig­u­ra­tions.
4. Are highly mo­ti­vated to col­lab­o­rate, and are nat­ural net­work­ers, nav­i­gat­ing new or­ga­ni­za­tions, cul­tures, and so­ci­eties.
5. Pur­po­sively use new tech­nolo­gies to help them solve prob­lems and tran­scend ge­o­graph­i­cal lim­i­ta­tions.
6. Are open to shar­ing what they know, and in­vite the open ac­cess to in­for­ma­tion, knowl­edge and ex­per­tise from oth­ers.
7. De­velop habits of mind and prac­tice to learn con­tin­u­ously, and can un­learn as quickly as they learn, adopt­ing new ideas and prac­tices as nec­es­sary.
8. Thrive in non-hi­er­ar­chi­cal net­works and or­ga­ni­za­tions.
9. Are not afraid of fail­ure — and see their fail­ures as learn­ing op­por­tu­ni­ties.

Now, why should the universe be constructed in such a way that atoms acquire the ability to be curious about themselves?

The world slowly becomes better when we do things, not to benefit ourselves, but to benefit mother earth…

Wow


“Much education today consists of a high degree of specialization, which tends to give a person tunnel vision and a narrow perspective about the actual interrelationships of all physical phenomena. Students of the future would be encouraged to view the world in a more holistic manner; accordingly, they would be able to converse intelligently across various disciplines.”

Jacque Fresco, self-educated structural designer, philosopher of science, concept artist, educator, and futurist, The Best That Money Can’t Buy: Beyond Poverty, Politics, & War, Global Cyber Visions, 2002 (tnx mymindtank)

“What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.”

wildcat2030:

Within ‘Somewhere’ We are transported to a time where the boundaries between what is real and what is simulated are blurred. We live online and download places to relax, parks and shopping malls. We can even interact with our friends as if they were in the same room with simulated tele-presence. Everyone is connected and immersed in nanorobotic replications of any kind of object or furnishings, downlodable on credit based systems. Distance and time become as alien as the ‘offline’ The local becomes the global and the global becomes the local. Consumer based capitalism has changed forever. A truly ‘glocolised’ world. The singularity is near.

The film places us into this vision, observing an average inhabitant within the ever changing environment of the latest SimuHouse. From a painting to a park and from a telephone call to a shopping mall. That is until there is a leek in the system and everything malfunctions. The film concludes with the house being forced to reset, giving the character and viewer a stark reminder that nothing is ‘real’ even her dog, which re-materialises in front of her.
