The “suckage” also describes my health..

I’ll keep this brief(for the sake of the fractal…). These ideas are freely given – I do *hope* they’re not – how shall we say an “Elephant(I hear they’re anti-social these days) in the China Shop of Human Thought”…(they aim to be more “meat” and less *chafe*…but who knows?…).

In a previous send, I made a mention of *mythology*. Society has *proceeded* to construct one for you – and living *up to* this must be of momentous difficulty.

Countless entertainment acts have been *sideswiped* by this phenomenon.

Your project – one of society’s most needed *rhizomes* – *may have* already received its most significant import from you.

Maybe *the stress* is a sign?….or perhaps just merely a proximate effect.

In any case, it’s *not* “suckage”. You’re experiencing the social phenomenon of evil – the kind *unrelated* to individual character – and one I’ve construed an idea of in an unprecedented way.

And *out* of this maelstrom – a seemingly thorough *original* account of “Human Identity” vis a vis fame. You’ve *plummed* for sociality – and the thing of value *got out* there for beneficial use – produced from *right here*(the blog).

The problem with email is that the barrier to corresponding has become far too low, so interesting people get buried while "get a life" people clog the systems.

Of course you know this, but there is no way to lead or be a voice of conviction if you don't. I think the harder thing, is to give yourself the compasion that your needs and life actually matter. They do! There is no guilt in being human and having limits. (In fact, it's the ultimate beauty in my opinion.) The harder thing, I agree is the ability to sift through all the ambiance... and as there is more and more... how to make the best decisions for you to create a balance that YOU enjoy! ... and yes, philosophy and rationalization is easier than practice! ;) Take care of yourself, girl! xo. anita Take care of yourself first!

Linda Stone's continuous partial awareness work has struck a chord with so many people, it will no doubt be a major framework for better figuring out social technologies and ways to treat each other. At her etech 2006 talk, she also talked about quality of life as the major issue going forward, and I have come in the months since to concur completely. My game design work now, for instance, is designed around the principle of improving everyday quality of life, and I know a number of other technologists looking much more closely at that area as well. (although at the ame conference bruce sterling brushed aside my QOL concerns regarding his blobjects vision as a rather reactionary way of thinking... so I guess it hasn't caught on everywhere yet!) but fingers crossed that we can find a saner, happier way of staying connected...

As far as I know, no one reads the thing, but I could care less as it allows me to let my goofiness thrive.
