Gregory, I can’t tell if this is spam or just a comment written while in a trance-like state. Anyway, I think I’ll leave it. Thanks for the poetic (albeit bizarre) stream of thought there.

Thanks for the comment, S Foven. It’s certainly a new way to approach reading.

Safari is great for stuff like this. I don’t read any books cover to cover anymore. I just find a section I like and follow the trail. Not sure why anyone would buy a single book on tech issues anymore. Don’t get me wrong, books are great but Safari is a much better experience for getting info out of them.

it is awesome … something like omniscience … and because i have a mind that connects inner and outer i think it is a good metaphor for life lived with a quiet mind … we are already anyway just going from thing to thing, from what is in front of us to what is next … the mind imposes meaning and agree/disagree about each thing, but it is really just flowing along independently of what we think about it

and so started to think about modeling technology more closely with the way life works …

and arrived at one of the current memes being talked about, attention overload … and realized that this is NOT a problem, unless we are just paying attentions to the stuff, and then it is an impossible-to-solve problem ….

paying attention to the flow, with perhaps a quiet mind, one can simply say, what attention overload?

like walking in a meadow on a sunny day, there is really a fully saturated sensory overload, but we simplify it with a smile and call it beauty …

hmm, is there any money in this? lol, sorry
