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 ...

all advertising is spam ...

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

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

Change cannot come from within until you get rid of all the old school politicians who are so out of touch with the modern world and it's realities.

Change might come from within in the future once new dynamic young people become more involved.

Change may not come from within but we can change we governs us. We did that with Obama and Bush and we should keep doing it until we fix 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

enjoy

@Gregory

Brilliant. Also checked out your blog, if you're still living in Asia that's
awesome. I was in Shanghai in March & loved it.
Be well.

Cheers,

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

Re: Transformation - When Change is not Enough

there is a time you need transformation, just like in building o a certain time you need a renovation, also in resume you need to transform it also for a better result.

friendfeed is pretty fun once similarly familiar with it, like twitter with better sharing of favorite posts

Re: The Alignment of Asset Reflation and a Collapsed Economy

Jung IIRC was interested in the make-up of various cultures, and noted the characteristics that were exposed and open in each, and repressed in each. So Jung might say "Well, in German society X is repressed and Y is allowed to roam openly, but in the France Y is repressed and X is given free reign."

In a crisis, Jung would say you become trapped and hobbled by what you've been repressing. As I live in the US its harder for me to analyze the society. I'm not sure what people are thinking. I'll venture one guess however: the most repugnant idea to American culture is the idea that things don't get better, that life doesn't improve. That's my best shot. I just think a no-growth period in the US would be very hard on our psyche.

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

google side-wiki is another way to empower the lowest common denominator, and that is the best that can happen

Re: Gen X [meme]: Slackers, Sellouts or Saviors

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 .. :-)
