Re: What E-Readers Mean for Digital Magazines - Digital Editions @ FolioMag.com

gregorylent — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:36:57 -0000

this medium, e-books and e-magazines, is not being imagined very well by publishers or makers of these products ..

they can be, should be, will be, full multi-media, mult-channel art experiences, and the cheesy tech currently being sold for high bucks is ridiculous, and mostly designed for creating walled gardens .. very old paradigm thinking ..

and links, my friends, will be at the heart of it .. so, um, better loosen up your minds, the future is not to be denied ...

Re: Deep Spam Thoughts…Media is Free. Attention is Priceless.

all advertising is spam ...

advertising is hated more than most in the industry know ...

this has implications for business models based on it ...

i remember your comments last year on tim geithner .. wondering if you have revisited that one in your mind :-)

politics is after the fact, it is effect, not cause ...

change cannot come from government, will be obama's legacy

Re: Why DailyBooth Has Staying Power

gregorylent — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:43:45 -0000

the mind is set up for multi-sense input, thrives on it in fact .. and text is decidedly NOT that ...

but a stronger love of the mind is its need for flow, directed by the self, not by the media ...

so, why video sucks, is i have to wait for the meaning to come .. with text, i can skim ..

dailybooth is a toy ...

the real future is a sliding multi-channel multi-media melange of information streams that I can control .. not the producer ...

wanna see an example? http://waterlife.nfb.ca/ ...

you give me 140 of something like that, just a hit, and i will be a happy man ..

the future is like that ... bandwidth be damned

enjoy, gregory

Re: Is Google/Microsoft/Twitter in the news business? (Scripting News)

gregorylent — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:19:08 -0000

every business is in the news business .. using the term a bit more broadly ..

it is only the news business that is not in the news business ... they are in the celebrity business, or the agenda business, or the banality business .. etc ..

Re: Cognitive bias and the real reason I don’t watch the news when I trade Anne Marie's Trading Blog

mystics would agree ...

though they have their own language, and concepts thousands of years old, "cognitive bias" is something that is both warned against, and seen as a sign of a lesser developed mind ...

they of course have methods to deal with this ... it is the purpose for all spiritual practices such as meditation ...

the sign of an awakened mind? no cognitive bias, everything seen in the moment as what it is ...

scientists are so late to the party, but that is because they are only using half their brain :-)

anything that enables consciousness to express itself in the world is a viable business opportunity.

anything that reveals the existing oneness of all that is, is a business opportunity.

anything that collapses space and time is a business opportunity.

lovely, it is really time for global minds to emerge ...

how big is your we? if you say we, and mean everybody, then you are good for the world. if it is just a subset, not good.

Re: Quantum AI and How Much Like Magic Can Advanced Technology Become

gregorylent — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 06:38:42 -0000

it is all just the expression of consciousness ... all the abilities of mind, and therefore technology, were laid out long ago .. smaller than the smallest, etc ...

know consciousness, and you can know all this applied stuff so much more quickly

first, perfect, perfect, photo ..

pretty soon we are going to have to be talking about collective consciousness, just because there seems no other way to talk about the disconnect between the economy and the market ... what the heck is going on in people's minds?

twitter for me now is the most exceptional thing on the internet .. i don't need rss, blogs, friendfeed, newpapers, or tv .. i follow amazing people in several disciplines and on several continents, and my plate is gloriously full

oh, slacking is generation-non-specific, runs right across and through the years/generations/incarnations ... as to rage, waste of energy, but that is not seen for a few years/generations/incarnations ...

love trumps slack, is another topic .. :-)

Re: louisgray.com: I Don't Want To Hear About Distributed Conversations Any More

gregorylent — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:23:16 -0000

tech emulates the mind .. can't control others thoughts, why worry about control of "conversations"? that is just old-paradigm thinking being played out ..

gregorylent — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 03:05:02 -0000

everything *will* talk to everything ... the tech for that is in its new-born phase ... what is called the "cloud" is only a finger pointing ... does nature need to be secure? no, and what is coming will/must be equally ubiquitous as "nature" ... in one-system thinking, security is not a question
