#why market exclusively to the people who have given up on human connection

[aggressively-crying]

Every goddamn sex robot I have ever seen looks like it crawled outta the lowest reaches of the uncanny valley. Why do they need to look like humans? It's never going to look close enough, so stylize it a little. It's a robot, gimme a fuckable Optimus prime already.

The future is symmetrical

When Mitch Kapor articulated the principle that “architecture is politics” at the founding of EFF, he was charging technologists with the moral duty to contemplate the kinds of social interactions their technological decisions would facilitate — and prohibit.

At question was nothing less than the character of the networked society. Would the vast, pluripotent, general purpose, interconnected network serve as a glorified video-on-demand service, the world’s greatest pornography distribution system, a giant high-tech mall?

Or could it be a public square, and if so, who would have the loudest voices in that square, who would be excluded from it, who will set its rules, and how will they be enforced?

As with its technical architecture, the political architecture of the net is a stack, encompassing everything from antitrust enforcement to spectrum allocation, protocol design to search-and-seizure laws, standards to top-level domain governance.

Among those many considerations is the absolutely vital question of service delivery itself. What kinds of wires or radio waves will carry your packets, who will own them, and how will they be configured?

For decades, a quiet war has been fought on this front, with two sides: the side that sees internet users as “mouse potatoes,” destined to passively absorb information feeds compiled by their betters; and the “netizen” side that envisions a truly participatory network design.

This deep division has been with us since the internet’s prehistory, at least since the fight over Usenet’s alt.* hierarchy, flaring up again during the P2P wars, with ISPs insisting that users were violating their “agreements” by running “servers.”

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/11/altinteroperabilityadversarial

Above all, this fight was waged in the deployment of home internet service. The decision turn the already-monopolistic cable and phone operators into ISPs cast a long shadow. Both of these industries think of their customers as passive information consumers, not participants.

As an entertainment exec in William Gibson’s 1992 novel Idoru describes her audience: “Best visualized as a vicious, lazy, profoundly ignorant, perpetually hungry organism craving the warm god-flesh of the anointed. Personally I like to imagine something the size of a baby hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It’s covered with eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes them sting. It has no mouth…no genitals, and can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the channels on a universal remote. Or by voting in presidential elections.”

Contrast this with the other cyberpunk archetype, the console cowboy who doesn’t merely surf the digital, but steers it — the active participant in the technological/media environment who is more than a recipient of others’ crafted messages.

For a long time, Big Tech and Big Telco tried to have it both ways. AT&T promoted teleconferencing and remote family life conducted by videophones in its 1993 “You Will” marketing campaign. Youtube exhorted you to “broadcast yourself.”

But AT&T also set data-caps, kicked users off for running servers, and engaged in every legal, semi-legal and outright illegal tactic imaginable to block high-speed fiber networks.

Youtube, meanwhile, blocked interoperability, leveraged vertical integration with Google search to exclude and starve competitors, and conspired with Big Content to create a “content moderation” system that’s two parts Kafka, one part Keystone Kops.

https://pluralistic.net/2020/12/12/fairy-use-tale/#content-id

While the questions raised by broad participation in networked society are thorny and complex, one question actually has a very simple and factual answer: “How should we connect our homes to the internet?” The answer: “Fiber.”

There is no wireless that can substitute for fiber. Wireless — 5G, Starlink, whatever — shares the same spectrum. We can make spectrum use more efficient (by tightly transmitting the wireless signals so they don’t interfere), but physics sets hard limits on wireless speeds.

Each strand of wire in a wired network, by contrast, is its own pocket universe, insulated from the next wire, with its own smaller, but exclusive, electromagnetic spectrum to use without interfering with any other wire on the other side of its insulation.

<img src=”https://craphound.com/images/broadband_comparison.jpeg" alt=”EFF’s broadband comparison chart, showing the maximum speeds of 4G (100mb), DSL (170mb), 5G (10gb), cable (50gb) and fiber (100tb).”>

But copper wire also has hard limits that are set by physics. The fastest theoretical copper data throughput is an infinitesimal fraction of the fastest fiber speeds. Fiber is millions-to-hundreds-of-millions times faster than copper.

https://www.eff.org/wp/case-fiber-home-today-why-fiber-superior-medium-21st-century-broadband

We should never run copper under another city street or along another pole. Any savings from maintaining 20th century network infrastructure will be eradicated by the cost of having to do twice the work to replace it with 21st century fiber in the foreseeable future.

Trying to wring performance gains out of copper in the age of fiber is like trying to improve the design of whale-oil lamps to stave off the expense of electrification. Sure, you don’t want anyone sitting in the dark but even the very best whale-oil lamp is already obsolete.

But besides future-proofing, there’s another reason to demand fiber over copper or wireless: symmetry. Our copper and (especially) wireless infrastructure is optimized for sending data to end-points, not getting data back. It’s mouse-potato broadband.

(this is especially true of any satellite broadband, which typically relies upon copper lines for its “return path,” and even when it doesn’t, has much slower uplinks that downlinks)

By contrast, fiber tends to be symmetrical — providing the same download and upload speeds. It is participatory broadband, suited for a world of distance ed, remote work, telemedicine, and cultural and political participation for all.

Fiber is so obviously better than copper or wireless that America paltry fiber rollouts needed to be engineered — they never would have happened on their own. The most critical piece of anti-fiber engineering is US regulators’ definition of broadband itself.

Since the dawn FCC interest in universal broadband, it adopted a technical definition of broadband that is asymmetrical, with far lower upload than download speeds. Despite lockdown and broadband-only connections to the outside world, Congress is set to continue this.

The latest iteration of the Democrats’ broadband bill defines “broadband” as any connection that is 100mb down and 20mb up (“100/20”). Both of these speeds paltry to the point of uselessness, but the upload speed is genuinely terrible.

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/07/future-symmetrical-high-speed-internet-speeds

US broadband usage has grown 21%/year since the 1980s. 100/20 broadband is inadequate for today’s applications — let alone tomorrow’s (by contrast, fiber is fast enough to last through the entire 21st century’s projected broadband demand and beyond, well into the 2100s).

Any wireless applications will also depend on fiber — your 5G devices have to be connected to something, and if that something is copper, your wireless speeds will never exceed copper’s maximum speeds. Innovation in spectrum management requires fiber — it doesn’t obviate it.

Today, the highest growth in broadband demand is in uploads, not downloads. People need fast uploads speeds to videoconference, to stream their games, to do remote work. The only way a 100/20 copper network’s upload speeds can be improved is by connecting it with fiber.

Every dollar spent on copper rollout is a dollar we’ll forfeit in a few years. It’s true that cable monopolists will wring a few billions out of us if we keep making do with their old copper, but upgrading copper just makes the inevitable fiber transition costlier.

China is nearing its goal of connecting 1 billion people to fiber. In America, millions are stuck with copper infrastructure literally consisting of century-old wires wrapped in newspaper, dipped in tar, and draped over tree-banches.

https://mn.gov/commerce-stat/pdfs/frontier-service-quality-report-final.pdf

Indeed, when it comes to America, monopoly carriers are slowing upload speeds — take Altice, the US’s fourth-largest ISP, which slashed its upload speeds by 89% “in line with competitors’ offerings.”

https://pluralistic.net/2021/06/27/immortan-altice/#broadband-is-a-human-right

America desperately needs a high-fiber diet:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/03/30/fight-for-44/#slowpokes

But it has a major blockage: the American right, who have conducted history’s greatest self-own by carrying water for telecoms monopolists, blocking municipal fiber:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/01/17/turner-diaries-fanfic/#1a-fiber

It’s darkly funny to see the people who demanded that “government stay out of my internet” now rail against monopoly social media’s censorship, given that a government ISP would be bound by the First Amendment, unlike Facebook or Twitter.

Luckily, Congress isn’t the only place where this debate is taking place. In California, Governor Newsom has unveiled an ambitious plan to connect every city and town to blazing-fast fiber, then help cities and counties get it to every home.

https://pluralistic.net/2021/05/15/how-to-rob-a-bank/#fiber-now

In tech circles, we use the term “read-only” to refer to blowhards who won’t let you get a word-in edgewise (this being one of the more prominent and unfortunate technical archetypes).

The “consumer” envisioned by asymmetrical broadband futures is write*-only — someone designed to have other peoples’ ideas crammed into their eyeballs, for their passive absorption. A consumer, not a citizen.

As Gibson put it, it’s a person who “can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the channels on a universal remote.”

Cyberpunk is a warning, not a suggestion.

Can you predict which mutual funds will do better than others?

Can you anticipate which mutual funds will do better than others?

It turns out you can. The number of financial investment items readily available for purchase increases every year. Large item choice might produce issues, both for the client and the consultant. At Junxure, we've decided to construct an algorithm to deal with that concern. What we sought We wanted to supply necessary help for advisors and customers, presuming that some mutual funds can bring organized returns in given market conditions. Depending upon a fund's method, approaches of management and item specifics, it may be a better fit for purchase today, or remain more promising for the conditions of tomorrow-- in a various environment. In this vein, we chose to check whether AI-based algorithm can discover the best mutual funds using affiliations hidden in item costs, macro indications, market indexes, FX rates and commodities. The twist was-- we did not try to translate these reliances however rather put them to work and see the real results in product ranking. How we did that We collected macro indications of significant worldwide economies (US, EU, China, Japan, LatAm, India), commodities prices, FX rates and significant indexes quotes. Then, we used cost history for over 4000 mutual funds traded on NASDAQ. Our goal was to create a ranking of the funds and figure out which ones would score the highest rate of return in the next quarter. To produce optimum environment for the algorithm, we required to prepare the information we had accumulated and run a lot of additional analyses (e.g. return and threat ratios, fund performance signs). The last thing to be done before the training begun was to effectively decrease data dimensions using Principal Part Analysis (PCA). What carried the most guarantee The most appealing results came from the ensemble machine discovering technique. It utilizes several discovering algorithms (lots best performing AI models in our case) to obtain a much better predictive performance. For the results measurement, we created a Top-Bottom Analysis. In the analyzed group, we created a ranking of mutual funds, arranged by the probability of achieving the greatest rate of return in the next quarter. Then, we moved 3 months in the future and examined whether we were right, specifically whether the leading 10% was significantly better than the bottom 10% from our ranking. To produce the most sensible environment, we measured our outcomes utilizing so called test data, which is a dataset which the algorithm has actually never ever "seen" prior to. It ensured that such outcomes can be obtainable in daily operations. In order to assess a mutual fund capability to outperform its peer groups, our design took various specifications into account: fund threat and previous efficiency in different market conditions, return persistence and repeatability, risk-adjusted efficiency ratios as well as methodical risk related to main market elements. The last one, in particular, is somewhat vague: information-driven market movements which are quite unforeseeable, human behavior which is uncertain, adaptive and sometimes repeatable, finally the basic financial laws that should discuss reliances between economic cycles and possession prices in a long term but not constantly do. We anticipated device learning to tell us more where the fact was-- comments Grzegorz Prosowicz, Consulting Director for Capital Markets at Advisor Engine. What the outcomes were The actual results for the test dataset surpassed our expectations. The very best results we have achieved were 78% in Top-Bottom Analysis. It means that in 4 out of 5 cases we can predict which funds would score a greater rate of return. Additionally, the difference in rate of return between bottom and leading funds totaled up to 2,99 percentage points quarterly (12,51 p.p. CAGR). In other words, advisor picking products for their customer from readily available item universe for one-year period, could rely on 12,51 percentage points better returns with the algorithm-- no matter how the markets perform. What's next? Think of having a service of that kind in your institution. Your consultants would lastly get a reliable assistance with choosing the ideal items and become more productive. Is the service going to reach a similar success in every country or scenarios? Is the service all set to launch as cloud API in your organization or get checked by you in kind of proof of concept? --------------------------------------------- Wealth management techniques in the digital age The service digitization procedure which might be observed for more than a dozen (if not more than twenty) years does not skirt the financial sector. Both business and banks providing investment advisory services place significance on innovative software targeted at assisting in the customers' wealth management. What should the wealth management service appear like in the digital improvement age and what strategies can be adopted by the institutions using them? Digital wealth management technique-- challenges Both the banks and business offering the wealth management service deal with a number of difficulties connected with the digital transformation. According to the "Swim or sink: Why Wealth Management Can't Afford to Miss the Digital Wave" report prepared by Advisor Engine, the wealth management service is presently one of the least sophisticated ones in terms of technology. age structure-- a high share of clients classified into HNWI and UHNWI (Ultra High Net Worth People) groups are seniors who do not demand any cutting edge services from banks or advisory companies and who depend on direct contacts with the advisors, aversion to developments-- the wealthiest clients think the validated wealth management methods must be used and it is needless to introduce new options, innovation limitations-- lots of banks keep using older software, the extension of which with brand-new functionalities is made complex and costly.

The authors of the report by McKinsey advisory company called "Secret Trends in Digital Wealth Management-- and What to Do about Them" observe the clients having access to the software helping with wealth management report the 5 to 10 times higher satisfaction level than customers communicating with the consultants in a conventional way. The costs are not irrelevant for the banks and advisory companies. Utilizing the robo-advisory channel allows to lessen them. Thanks to the algorithms, it is possible to use prompt help to the consumers when making investment choices without significant expenses-- such advisory services are more affordable than the support supplied by a human, experienced advisor and work even in negative market conditions. Junxure Wealth Management software Wealth management digital methods The banks and advisory companies alike know that they can just get using the digital technology potential. Entities with a long market existence buy the innovative options more and more frequently.

It decided to make instantaneous insight into financial investment portfolios and reports delivered by means of the chosen social media offered to its consumers, Swiss UBS bank opened a robo-advisory channel for consumers with the wealth listed below 2 million pounds required to open a personal banking account, a Singapore branch of Citi offered their customers the chance to utilize a bank chatbot via Facebook. It offers details e.g. about balances and transactions on the savings account. Carrying out brand-new options suggests advantages not just for consumers (who may acquire a quick insight into their investment portfolio), but likewise for financial institutions. The strategic wealth management might be mostly automated. Some activities may be performed without the consultant's participation. What is more, the specialized software application makes it possible for to gather information which can be examined then to change the embraced wealth management strategies.

According to the research study performed by the advisory business Ernst & Young, one of wealth management parts of particular value for wealthy customers is comprehending their financial objectives and offering a broad access to investment products and tools to them. Strategic wealth management-- how to get ahead of rivals? Lots of financial institutions and banks think about the wealth management digital technique to be the key to obtain competitive advantage and customers who do not wish to base exclusively on their instinct and knowledge when it comes to wealth management.

A Definition of Magic

What, then, is magic? The best definition to date is almost certainly that of one of the twentieth century’s leading writers on magic, Dion Fortune, who defined magic as “the art and science of causing change in consciousness in accordance with will.”[1]

Magic produces change by working directly with consciousness. Its effects often spill over into the physical world, but this occurs only indirectly. This is, in an important sense, the exact opposite of what modern science does. Science causes changes in the physical world in accordance with the “laws” of the physical world. Magic and science not only work by different means; they also work toward different ends, and, in fact, this difference in ends accounts for the difference in means. This is why practitioners of magic don’t conduct laboratory experiments, and why scientists don’t intone chants before altars inscribed with emotionally powerful symbols. The apologists for the conventions of our own age often claim that magic is a “primitive,” immature groping toward science, and now that science has arrived, magic is obsolete. But science and magic are different enterprises altogether. Neither can entirely supersede the other. Indeed, as will be discussed below, magic is as alive and well in the modern world as it’s ever been – it’s just been brilliantly disguised.

The final clause of Fortune’s definition is “in accordance with will,” which refers to both the will of the person or people working the magic and the person or people upon whom the magic is worked. The elucidation of this principle in the 1590 work On Bonding in a General Sense by the Renaissance philosopher Giordano Bruno remains the most thorough to date. In this treatise, Bruno details the role of bonds – simultaneously in the sense of “relationships” or “closeness” and “fetters” or “constraints” – in magic. His central thesis is that in order to bind another – that is, to transform the desires of another so that they aid the fulfillment of one’s own desires – one must work with the other’s existing desires. To get someone to believe or to do something in accordance with one’s own will, one must present the belief or action in such a way that the person feels it to be in accordance with his or her own will, thereby satisfying the desires of both the enchanter and the enchanted.[2] Whether this ends up helping or harming the person upon whom the magic is worked is beside the point here; either can be the case depending on the context. The point is that magic can only be successful if it satisfies the desires of all involved in the working. The historian of religion Ioan P. Couliano has rightly discussed On Bonding in a General Sense as a broader, more existential, and ultimately more ambitious counterpart to Machiavelli’s The Prince.[3]

Magic in the Pre-Christian Germanic World

You’re likely thinking at this point, “Okay, but that only works on humans, right? What about influencing the weather and the behavior of animals and plants, activities with which sorcerers, shamans, and the like from all over the world are credited?”

It’s a perfectly valid question, and it can be answered by pointing out that this sort of magic typically takes place in a cosmological context that’s very different from our own. The pagan Norse and other Germanic peoples believed that spirit could be found in countless things throughout the world, rather than exclusively belonging to mankind. This included even things that we today would consider to be nonliving, inanimate objects. And if something has a spirit, then in some sense it is conscious and has a will of its own. Thus, humans weren’t the only beings who could be influenced by magic. Inasmuch as a storm, or a cat, or a ship partook of spirit, it, too, was subject to the workings of magic.

For the ancient Germanic peoples, magic was a fairly normal part of the fabric of everyday life. The practitioner of magic worked with the basic principles that were thought to underlie the workings of the cosmos rather than against them. If he or she was set apart from other people in any way, it was in his or her level of knowledge concerning the cosmos in general and those upon whom he or she was working. It’s worth pointing out that this is something Bruno emphasizes as well: the person who binds most successfully is the person who knows the beings to be bound and their desires the most thoroughly.[4]

The Old Norse vocabulary of magic revolves around conceptions of knowledge. As Professor Catharina Raudvere, a specialist in Norse magic, explains, “the verb kunna, meaning both ‘to know, to understand, to know by heart’ as well as ‘to have insight in the old traditions and lore’…is at the core of this semantic field.”[5] The most common and general word for “magic” is fjölkyngi,[6] which is derived from kunna and means “great knowledge.”

In addition to the knowledge of magical techniques and knowledge of the beings involved in the working, another form of knowledge at the heart of traditional Germanic magical practice is the knowledge of fate. In Raudvere’s words:

The importance of destiny must not be understood to mean that the Norsemen held purely fatalistic beliefs. Rather it must be understood in terms of knowing the future, in order to keep it under some kind of control. Divination rituals and the performance of seiðr [a type of Norse magic discussed below]… were expressions of ways of finding the keys to hidden parts of reality and measuring what was given. The results of divination marked the limits of individual free will and after the divination ceremony strategies could be made for acting within these limits. Hence, prophecies, dreams and dream interpretations, and curses were treated with the greatest concern. … They reveal a tension between freedom and dependence. Nevertheless, there can seem to be a contradiction in terms: the conceptions of destiny could also be viewed as a definition of personal freedom. On the one hand, the limits are set and it lies within the human condition to identify them and act within the given space; on the other, choices and their consequences over a longer period of time is an important theme in the sagas. …

Destiny was in one sense given, but there were still opportunities for developing different strategies… in connection with the fundamental structure of the perception of time.[7]

Magic, therefore, is (amongst other things) the ability to discern fate and work with it to accomplish one’s purpose.

When modern people speak of magic, they often make a distinction between “white magic” and “black magic,” the former being “good” magic and the latter being “evil” magic. This is as common in anthropology as it is amongst the general populace. Such a taxonomy, however, is nowhere to be found in the conceptions of magic held by the pre-Christian Germanic peoples, who had radically different moral standards than those of what we today call “morality.”

Were there any truly indigenous categories or divisions within Germanic magic, then? There were, but we know frustratingly little about them today. The only type of Norse magic that is clearly marked off from other kinds of magic in Old Norse literature is seidr, a form of “high” ritual magic practiced only by women and “unmanly” men such as the god Odin. Men who practiced magic typically delved into the amorphous complex of “warrior shamanism” practiced by initiatory military societies. The Old Norse word galdr, derived from galan, “to crow,”[8]denotes magic that centrally involves the use of runes and incantations, and may have referred to another particularly organized magical system, but, due to the absence of sufficient evidence, this must remain an intriguing speculation.

Magic in the Modern World

Magic was an integral part of the Western world up to and including the Renaissance. However, that “Rebirth” of Classical culture, arts, and sciences was crushed beneath the boot of the fearfully pious and reactionary elements of the European society of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which included the Protestant Reformation, the Catholic Counter-Reformation, the Inquisition, and the Witch Trials. Out of understandable concern for their own safety, philosophers and scientists – formerly among the most likely to be avid practitioners of magic – stripped their crafts of anything that might seem “magical,” rebranding them as the study of inert, mechanistic phenomena. This brought their disciplines into harmony with the dominant strains of Christian theology, wherein the visible, tangible world is an unthinking, unfeeling artifact created by a god who is utterly separate from his creation. Consciousness was dismissed from the world – except, conveniently, from the human mind, but even the workings of the human mind were reframed in mechanistic, as opposed to animistic, terms. Magic had been banished from the world – and, it should be noted, for purely ideological reasons.[9][10]

Or, at least, polite society demands that we speak as if this revolution had actually been successful in removing magic from Western civilization.

Politeness aside, however, the “mechanistic philosophy” of René Descartes, Isaac Newton, and their ilk has utterly failed to erase magic from the modern world, or even to diminish its influence. Magic occupies as prominent a place in modern society as it ever has. We just prefer to call it things like “psychology,” “sociology,” “advertising,” “marketing,” and “personal development” rather than “magic.”

She quickly forms a bond with a wild mustang named Spirit and makes two new pals who love horses as much as she does.

The Sisterhood Training In Detail

~The Sisterhood will continue to expand and refine The Sisterhood Training, with the goal of sharing it with as many women as possible. It is essential to understand that after The Pentavalent itself, The Sisterhood Training is the Most Important Element of The Sisterhood. To use a rather fevered metaphor, The Sisterhood Training is the womb from which the New Matriarchy will be born. Without the efforts and actions of properly trained and motivated Sisters, all the preceding concepts are just so much 'sound and fury'. Because of that I shall go into a considerable amount of detail regarding The Training itself. I have been through a number of Large Group Awareness Trainings [LGAT's] These LGAT's were for the most part beneficial and positively transformative for me and for others. And I did see where they had their own internal problems. The problem that was most apparent to me at the time was that LGAT's tend to 'crack you open' without much proper follow up except more trainings and workshops. They did try to form some kind of community of support – there would be a lot of talk about Relationship and the such – but since the focus was almost exclusively upon Individual Empowerment, that effort usually failed, a few times with tragic consequences. Another issue was the utter lack of any type of Spiritual foundation. A trainer of mine once addressed this with a statement that they, the LGAT, 'were willing to except the possibility that here was something greater than The Universe.' That's a pretty thin metaphysical soup. But the Key Issue with every single one of them is this; they are all ultimately 'part of the problem'. As has been said before in these pages, a primary Operating Motto of ours is a quote from Jiddu Krishnamurti, "It is no measure of good health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society." In the final analysis, the primary outcome of all the LGAT's I have ever encountered is to support you becoming 'more well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society'. They are after all, capitalist operations and, for all the good they might do, they are in business to sell a product and to make money. This also contributes to the first two problems mentioned above, the cracking open without follow up and the lack of Spiritual foundation. Many of their graduates become 'more effective' in expanding the reach and power of Modern Corporate Marketing Culture, the producer/creator of the hologram that now holds most Americans – and many around the world – in its thrall, where we are no longer citizens, or even humans, but merely Consumers of Product and the entire focus of this is to Sell Product. LGAT's are a part of that mechanism. They cannot be otherwise. And their models facilitate the perpetuation of Modern Corporate Marketing Culture. Why do you think so many corporations send 'their people' to these trainings? They make said people more Effective etc, not more Aware. If they really became so, they'd leave the corporation. Some do, but usually only to start some other type of corporation, not to exit the paradigm. The very first thing that will make the Sisterhood Trainings different is that they will be non-profit. That way the entire financial focus is devoted solely to getting the Trainings into the reach of as many Sisters as possible and in the optimum fashion. The final overall structure as presently envisioned would first be the Workshop Series, staring with a Guest Event to provide an enrollment mechanism for the two preliminary extended weekend workshops, a Basic that would run Friday through Sunday and an Advanced that would run Wednesday through Sunday, each designed to be preparatory for the Long Training itself. They each would have benefits in and of themselves, even the Guest Event. For many Sisters they may be the only direct experience of The Sisterhood they are able have at that point in their lives, so these workshops have to be able to be as positively transformative as we can safely make them in that window. Ultimately however, their primary outcome is to recruit Sisters for the Long Training. As such the Guest Event and the two Weekend Workshops would all take place within a roughly thirty day period preceding the beginning of a new Wave in the area in which that Wave was to be based. This would also intensify the experience of those Sisters who can only do the Workshop Series. These workshops will be fully run by the Central Training Operation, a stand alone non-profit educational corporation whose sole purpose is to coordinate, guide and refine the Sisterhood Trainings. It will have a core professional staff which would be augmented with volunteers from the Trainings themselves. The Long Training – which is called a Wave – is the actual Amazon Warrior Priestess Training mentioned above. Each Wave would consist of a dozen to two dozen Trikonai, a bond group of three Sisters which would be formed during the two weekend workshops and would be a mandatory element. [A dozen to two dozen Trikonai would come out to 36 to 72 Sisters.] The only way to enroll in a Wave is as an already formed Trikona, optimally one that formed and bonded during the Workshop Series. The next section, Part Six: The Trikona, will explain why this is necessary. The Central Training Operation will provide support, networking, feedback, guidance, etc. But each Wave will be functionally autonomous. Its own members will run the Wave's specific scheduling and be almost entirely self funding, doing whatever is is needed to make sure that every Sister in that Wave is able to achieve all the goals and complete the Training. Each Wave with be given an overall operational plan and a specific set of goals to achieve. Each Wave can also establish its own unique set of goals and outcomes as long as those do not interfere or contravene the overall plans and goals. Incorporation: To begin with a Wave will establish itself as a Corporation of the type that best suits the state within which it is primarily operating. That will give the Wave a heft and a flexibility that enhances its ability to pursue its goals that no unofficial group could match. Corporate Personhood is the Key to Power in modern America. Note that this is essentially an Event. It happens once and is done. The rest of the below are Process. They will unfold and change as the Wave proceeds. Each Sister in the Wave will be a Voting Member of its Corporation and will be required to have a working understanding of it functions. At the end of the Training Cycle, the Corporation can be dissolved and any assets leftover divided equally among its Members. Or it may continue on as a sub-collective of The Sisterhood, engaging in The Work as its members so choose. Majickal Working: Sisters would not be Witches without it. Operating with The Pentavalent as a guide, all aspects of each Wave will be Ritualized and conducted with some manner of Majickal and Goddess frame-working, starting with the above Incorporation and then through all the various goals and outcomes listed below. This should be done in a reasonable fashion, with Focus and Efficiency in Balance. It will not be about 'getting it right', but about making it work. The goal in this is to use the collective and individual Majickal Talent of the Sisters in any given Wave to create a Tulpa, a manifested thought form that embodies the Wave itself, one that helps propel the Wave forward to a successful and fulfilling conclusion. This will likely be the first real test of a Wave's ability to work as a collective and set the tone for what follows. NLP: [Neuro-Linguistic Programming] Each Wave will complete an entire NLP Practitioner Certification Training over the course of its Cycle, with each Sister therein getting an individual NLP Practitioner Certification. NLP is both a powerful Behavioral Change technology and a very effective Personal Communications technology. It should be self evident how such can be useful for The Temple's long term goals. Impact Self Defense: This is a company that provides a type of self defense training for women that allows them to punch and kick full force, thereby providing a 'body memory' of combat training. Each Wave will contract with ISD to provide a full training to all its Sisters. The purpose of this is to lay the foundation for a real Warrior Spirit, one based upon actual physical violence, not merely some hypothetical exhortation 'to be a warrior'. That is also why this will be undertaken at the beginning of the Wave Cycle. Warriors Fight. Sisters need to Learn that Lesson from the very start or my brothers will break you. Yoga: It is likely that many Sisters coming into The Sisterhood Training will already be Yoginis of one school or another. Each Wave will seek their experience and guidance in embedding Yoga into the fabric of the Wave. Over time the Sisterhood Training will develop its own school of Yoga that best serves the needs of a Wave Cycle. Yoga and Meditation will be the 'off-set' to the Martial Vigor of the various Warrior Disciplines a Wave will undertake. It also will provide a Centering and Grounding Discipline that can used by the entire Wave, a single Trikona, or the individual Sister, thereby providing Harmony and Connection throughout the Wave. 12 Step Work: The 12 Step modality is one of the best I have ever found to examine one's own Self. Though primarily used in addiction programs, it has a universal application. Its key is that with a methodological step by step structure it works upon discovering one's true thinking, which is largely how we get to wherever we are at any given point in our lives. It is crucial for each Sister to understand who she is, what motivated her to do what she has done and how she got to whatever point she is in her life. These are Essential Elements of Self and the work of The Temple requires a deep understand of Self. Each of the comforting illusions that every Sister harbors must be uncovered, discovered and discarded. This work will be done individually, within each Trikona and by the Wave in group sessions. There will a lot of pain in this work, so it must be done with vast Compassion for both one's Self and one's Sisters. Sexual Domination Of Men: As the Greater Goal of all of this work is a New Matriarchy, the practice of a genuine Female Supremacy is at the core of an Amazon Warrior Priestess Training such at this. And at the core of all intra-gender relationships is Sex. Therefore each Wave must learn the art of The Dominatrix. Given its intimate nature, most of this will be done via the Trikonai. Each Trikonai is to engage a professional Domme to teach them the nature and practice of Domme Work. Each Trikonai will acquire male slaves who will support the work of its Wave in whatever fashion said slave in capable of. Becoming Sexually Dominant, even as a 'exercise', makes a profound shift a Sister's basic nature. As with a training like Impact Self Defense, this work 'imbeds' that shift in a Sister's consciousness on a deep and atavistic level. And it is down in those places that Patriarchy has its strongest hold. Dakini: This is the name I have given to a hypothetical mixed Female oriented martial arts system that is still to be developed. What is proposed is a blend of Eskrima, a Philippine martial art that uses simple weapons, sticks and knives, along with hand and foot fighting, Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art which ritualizes it's fighting as a form of dancing and Parkour, a French urbano-centric running and jumping sport. I chose those forms because of their simplicity and their flowing motion. The idea is for more than just an 'effective fighting system'. If that was the goal, we'd just go with Krav Maga. But as with all of this work, there needs to be a Spiritual aspect, one that shifts Sisters all the way into their core. And as this would be a martial art that originates within The Temple, it is also something that The Sisterhood owns completely. Body Work: Due to the rigorous nature of the Sisterhood Training, each Sister is going to need body work done to help them heal and renew. Much of this will utilize skilled outside professionals. But between these sessions, each Sister will be required to learn a basic massage/ body work technique so that she can work upon other members of her Trikona on a regular basis. This will also deepen the Bond within each Trikona. Rock Climbing: This is a perfect all body training and is an outdoor sport can be first learned indoors. It also favors the Female as leg and hip strength is more important than upper body strength. It will support and enhance all the physical training. Weapons Training: Each Sister in the Wave will learn the use of the Staff, the Bow, the Sword, the Handgun and the Rifle. Teachers and training organizations will be engaged to teach the use of each of the weapons over the course of the Wave's Cycle. You're to be Amazons and these are the essential weapons. Sports: Each Wave can pick and choose most of the sports they wish to, but Baseball is strongly urged and Paint Balling is mandatory. Baseball is about Patience, Focus, and Strategy. It can be an excellent 'team builder'. The basic lineup of nine members is perfect for Trikonai. And as America's National Pastime [once upon a time at least] it has deep propaganda and nostalgia value. Paint Balling is an obvious choice, hence being mandatory. It is a high impact form of mock warfare. The skills, gear and much of the equipment are easily transferable to The Sisterhood's security needs. The Trikona is an organic structure for a Fire Team. And as a serious bonding ritual, at some point each Trikona should be hunted by the rest of the Wave simply to see how long they can survive. Equestrian Training: Each Sister in the Wave will learn basic horseback riding skills. There is no need to go for competition level training, just the feeling and ability to be at home upon a horse. Again, this is about being an Amazon. Horse Culture is in the Amazon's Soul. Outward Bound: During the Wave's second year it will engage the organization Outward Bound for a vigorous group 'nature experience'. This will be a bonding experience that the Wave itself does not need to control and a useful place to utilize much of the training and skills acquired in the previous ex-number of months. So, looking back upon these goals one can see that the Sisterhood Training as outlined here is very demanding, especially on a physical level. And that only a small group of Sisters would be able to complete such a Training. They would be fairly young, say 20 to 40 years old, in good physical and mental condition to begin with and be willing and able to commit their time to totally participate in and finish a full Wave Cycle. This will obviously seem unfair and exclusionary to those who are not in that category. And it is. The entire Purpose of The Sisterhood Training is to create an elite of Sisters who are capable of driving The Temple's efforts forward to build a New Matriarchy. Be aware that in the long run some of them will die doing that work. This is not a child's game we are playing here. That said, we also cannot simply write off entire groups of Sisters who do not have the ability to do the above type of Training because they are not 'the above type of Sister'. That is more than merely unfair; it is utterly foolish and totally contrary to our Purpose. Therefore, besides the Maximum Impact Training [MI-1] outlined above, there will also be a Medium and a Minimum Impact versions of the Sisterhood Training. The Medium Impact Training [MI-2] will be for Sisters who could probably handle the physical and emotional demands, but whose lives and/or personal inclinations do not allow for the type of time and energy commitment required by the Maximum Impact Training. How each of these Waves operates will largely be determined by their members. The Central Training Organization will set some basic goals, but from there the specifics will be worked out 'in group', which I have found is often an 'interesting exercise' in and of itself. The Minimum Impact Training [MI-3] is for those Sisters who simply cannot handle the physical and emotional demands of either of the first two versions. They may be too old. They may be disabled. Some could find it all too emotionally intense and need something gentler. Each of these Waves too will determine most of its goals and plans 'in group' along with guidelines from the Central Training Organization. The Trikona will still be the required basic unit however and for the same reasons in each Wave. It is hoped that after a Guest Event and a Workshop Series that one of each of version will manifest. That may not always be so. But whenever there would more than one version underway, the key is that they are all Sisters and intramural support is essential. It is likely that many issues would come up, such as the 'feeling less' and 'popular girl' paradigms that may have plagued some Sisters since their teens. That would be some tough work right there. Some will look at all this and proclaim loudly, and likely hysterically, all this to be a 'terrorist training scheme' and/or an effort to 'build a revolutionary army', so let's address that noise right out of the gate. The Sisterhood utterly eschews Terrorism. Such is the desperate strategy of the weak and the dis-empowered. And terrorists almost always wind up as pawns in someone else's political game plan. Our goals and plans are our own. The Sisterhood also rejects Revolution. History shows that it tends to merely replace one set of grasping oppressive bastards with another set of grasping oppressive bastards, ofttimes a worse collection. And note they're usually all Males, too. We won't play that game either. The essential purpose of The Sisterhood Training is two fold; One, to train a cadre of Sisters to protect themselves and the rest of the Sisterhood. The goal of a New Matriarchy will terrify some into violent reaction and The Sisterhood must be prepared to deal with that. As I have said many times, my brothers will not give up their power without a fight. Two, any Sister who can commit to and complete such a rigorous regime as outline above will never again be intimidated by anything. She will still see how Patriarchy oppresses her, but she will never ever again be a 'victim' of anything. Victim Feminism is a handmaiden of Patriarchy and it will take a Sisterhood of Amazon Warrior Priestesses to truly extirpate such a deeply embedded and self defeating paradigm. And all this is still totally hypothetical. The very first Wave will have no Guest Event or Workshop Series. They'll be a handful of Sisters, maybe only two or three Trikonai, who will work from the above outline to build what will become the Central Training Organization. One day their work will be legendary because of what was stated at the very top of this section; “The Sisterhood Training is the womb from which the New Matriarchy will be born.” From Part Five: “Building a New Matriarchy – Tactical Initiatives”

Before explaining in details the features of this product, my Human Synthesys Studio Review intends to briefly introduce the vendor. Along with his partner LuAnn Beckman and Oliver Goodwin, Mr. Todd Gross has come up with the idea to compile all of the first-of-its-kind video marketing solution

Previously, he has already been famous for releasing lots of helpful supporting tools, including Mugjam, VidSnatcher, Kaptiwa, etc. Personally, I have nothing to doubt this guy since his launches have been extremely successful in the field of Internet marketing.

HONEST HUMAN SYNTHESYS STUDIO REVIEW: IS IT WORTH USING?

This is an absolutely brilliant idea of using custom scripts with “Real People”. And how you implement it online, makes it incredibly easy to create professional spokesperson videos.

Imagine if you had the power to put together Human Spokesperson videos where you could actually direct what the all-human spokespersons say… Imagine how powerful it would be if you could have your own spokespersons on demand” where YOU are able to decide what they actually say!

This brand new form of video creation goes beyond what is currently possible. Finally, you can have real humans delivering the very message you want, line by line

We are talking about having your own professional spokespersons, practically on demand, so that you can build your own video scripts, line by line, by choosing from literally thousands of options, and create professional looking videos, in 90 seconds or less…

We wanted to find a way to truly give you the freedom to create practically any video that you want, using an actual live spokesperson, without having to hire a professional person to record it for you. This will allow you to make incredible, customized videos for your clients.

What is all the fuss about? Well, imagine a bank of thousands of clips that you can automatically choose from that essentially forces our HUMAN spokespersons to say what you WANT them to say!

That’s right! For example you can have Todd Gross as your spokesperson and have him coax someone to opt-into your list about Facebook, or if you want him to be the front-man for a local business… you can use him for that too – and he’ll say what YOU direct him to!

In fact I just made a 30 second Todd Gross product promotional with my feet up and just clicking the mouse in a few minutes. You’ve got a winner that ALL video marketers will love.

The software easily allows you to not only string together full videos by combining clips, but helps you to smooth out the “seams” between each clip, so that the result is exactly the same as if you hired a spokesperson yourself for hundreds of dollars!

You can make as many videos as you want, and as long as you want, although most will run between 30 and 60 seconds, PERFECT for marketing for yourself OR your clients! You see, commercial rights ARE included.

As an example, you can have a video made coaxing folks to find out more about “Facebook Marketing”, and to opt-into your list to learn more! The videos run across dozens of niches including local marketing for offline business as well. You really must see this to believe it!

Let’s take a minute to recap the huge benefits come up with:

#weedismyschool

I love him!

And he loves me!

But it’s different than romantic love. I wasn’t attracted to him for sexual purpose. But we are very very close, like we are comfortable holding each other to sleep, showering together, peeing in front of the other, wearing each other’s underwear etc. it’s very unique.

It’s like the love for a really really good friend, like finding “知音”, someone who floats within the same frequency slot like you, yet from a different way. There are not much polarities so to speak (difference in frequency); but like to like.

It’s a very different form of relationship and connection. It confused me with my sex addiction and marriage fantasy issues; so I was trying to put a label on it, yet failed and suffered. If I have to put us into conventional box, or him into a simple value level, I am still being dogmatic and not fully floating.

Yea, if I really “discovered” the secret, then why would I be wasting time waiting for a bunch of late boomers to become awake? It’s best to play the game and show the world myself, first!

Well if they are interested in learning how later, I can then teach them.

He’s the other joker. That’s why we understands each other. He’s more black and white and I am the one with the colors.

Embrace who you are; not judging it. Manuwavering is perfectly fine in a dry fact based system. It’s all a game. Telling different levels of truth, intentionally misdirecting conversations, leaving important parts of the information — is it the same as lying?

As the system gets more and more complex and we are more and more connected, it’s time our judgements flexibility also raises.

It’s really nice because he’s deep in his view of the outter world; and I am deep in my contemplation of the inner world.

I think that’s why we need each other. To experience and understand the others world, thus expanding who we are, together.

He probably will be a long term partner of some kind, probably business, because the friendship is deep and we are both talented and we adore each other, so why not make something happen together to the world?

Maybe real humans are not suppose to have that many sex in their lives? Most animals only do sex to reproduce, right? Perhaps it’s better to focus attention somewhere else, and not let the society media advertisements induced addictions take over? Most of them are fake knowledges and heavy lying with little regards to human well beings. — typical level 5 stuff, right?

Hey, I do not have real many friends. And probably will limit the access even more once I am at the position of choosing. It is an “opportunity” to be my friend, yes. With the juice of Eric I don’t feel I need to extra socialize with many— they are a waste of time.

We are living— either we work hard together, we motivate each other, or we play together and really have fun and live. We seem to be on the same page and matching steps.

Wow if that’s how universe introduce who I needed the most— a business partner to me, I am truly amazed and grateful.

Theories now become real actions and game plans, while documenting and celebrating along way.

If new art forms can be distorted and weird and still being authentic, why not writings? Why not performance? Being weird is the new cool thing. The majority, or all of us, are somehow attracted to things we don’t know, and we want to know them to expand our consciousness anyway . That’s the real “work” on earth, and should really be priceless. But in the capitalism world, perhaps we can input some price label to make people really appreciate the concept.

It’s best to offer some form of ownership — it’s a cool thing, it’s like, even though I don’t have the time or mental capacity to read books, but I like to buy them

And own them so I feel a sense of ownership and somehow connected to the field and the bigger expansion.

There must be energy exchange, then based on that it’s how much I value the interaction.

Ideally people are willing to pay more for what they like more. That’s one order. Or for whatever reason they somehow paid a lot of money for something, then they would start to like that more simply because it’s more expensive, more energy was given out. But energy doesn’t lose or diminish under physical laws, so as they are doing the exchange, new dynamics are formed and energy are added to both the work and the buyer and the creator.

People are on earth to do their “work”— the expansion inner work as well as the the expansion of outer material world. And they strive for balance. So after some one who made a lot of money in the out world, he or she must have an urge to fill her inner world as well to get balanced.

Hummm

If abstract painting, cubism was a thing to distort a person, and people like it, I wonder if language will also exist not to “make sense”, but to emit “power” and vibes?

It’s good to stay away from all who manipulate you to feel like shit, only stay close to those who make you feel good about yourself— then you can do good. Everyone is manipulating, but the difference is, to what direction? What’s the intention? Is it good for me?

I have a choice about what to follow and what not. Really get to understand who cares and how they care and to what degree.

Under ecology and respecting the other persons world, it’s ok to maneuver to my direction, because it will be mutually beneficial in the long run. It’s a process, wait, the game hasn’t even started.

You have been doing massive amount of prep work, to get you trained, and get you experienced, and more skills, to start the next phase of life.

It’s not about you two anymore; it’s about something from you and bigger than you, it’s about something for the rest of the world who don’t have access to your mental plane. And you, give them the access, and charge for it.

It’s almost like opening up Einstein’s brain and have a tour in his inner world — get to know his thinking process, his emotions, how things interact with him, how he arrived at where he’s at, etc. we have a tendency of being curious about something fascinating and something we don’t know. Thus we read about people’s biographies. But the new way to present a person is probably now both inner and outter— both have work and show the process as well. Something to be put in museums later. Lots of artists got to live for a long time because their inner and outter world still have value to the rest of the world, and thus business people have their shows out of love or profit making.

Yea, can’t stop me from thinking big.

In the “real” world, business people work for true artists, not the other way around. Founders of unicorn companies are some of the biggest artists ever. Then the business people work for them.

It’s about what level what skill you have as an artist, which decide where you will stand in this art-business dance.

Ideas. Concepts. Intriguing. Enlightening. Educating. Empowering.

Or simply beautiful, authentic, even bizarre.

They are things companies and eligible individuals like to own.

In company you work you get paid, quick. With art, sometimes it will take a long time before you see a paycheck that covers generously all of your previous work, known (work came to being) or unknown (the pieces that die during the process). The creation process is part of the effort,and the more you put in, the more that will come back to you in one way or the other — pure enjoyment of it, or even material payment; it’s an adding process.

Con-artists are still artists, they possess different types of skills, the dark triangle of people. If we look at them from purely expansion point of view, and appreciate the craftsmanship, I think we can still derive value out of it. Like a tragedy movie — it still holds emotional value despite not being a comedy, some times tragedy makes people remember it more, and had a deeper ripple for someone who’s due to experience some sort of emotions within him or she.

Ownership huh.

Maybe it’s good to keep things private, first. Before selling for more. Before someone copying things without me being able to sue them back. The criptical currency solve this media plagiarism 尴尬。 it’s helping the art community for sure. Where ideas and concepts all have value, the more closer to the ground the more value it has. Like a tree giving out fruits, but it takes dedication to grow a tree. Yet someone who’s growing a tree with all the patience in the world, won’t be able to if he or she simply doesn’t have the seeds. So it’s critical someone sells the seed in the process. But seeds compare to the fruit, probably won’t be able to charge a lot of money for one, yet can still make a living selling a lot. Wait, or not. Being the only exclusive seed on earth, at least can sell higher than other commodities. You as a buyer are still not sure if the seed will turn into a tree yet, but at least now you own the golden ticket— an opportunity to have a gold tree.

well

It depends on how you look at it.

Usually the more money one has, the more artistic /creative one is, the more “任性” they can become, and the more willing to present more resources for the things they like. And they can simply afford more of their expensive tastes. That’s it.

I’ve been there. Tested it. It feels good. But gotta make sure it’s your own money first. Not so fun to get in debt.

Perhaps being “sick “ was my entire market research effort— by becoming one of the consumers. Yes I shop weird, but there must be people just like me, maybe not the majority, and they will be the target .

Being “sick” is my natural acting, it’s the price I have to pay to get funding through the resources. Who are motivated by obligations and responsibilities. Pay now, enjoy later. No fun though.

It’s also an investment from a business perspective.

Yea he’s kind like Brendon, or John Strait, but a younger more socially acceptable version. 知音。they really love you but not trying to “hold住” 你。

大女人是拿来爱的， 不是拿来hold住的。

They bring the best version out of your self.

Mastery and Mimicry by Sep Kamvar

You have everything you need right here, he told me. Look at it. Good surf, good friends, this sunset. The problem with having a lot of stuff, he said, is that at some point the stuff starts ruling you.

A recurring theme in science fiction is the idea that one day, our technologies will become self-aware, grow their population, and take over the world. Of course, humans will still be around, otherwise there’s no story, but they will be second-class citizens to the tools that they invented.

I've often wondered why self-awareness always comes first. Perhaps it's because it makes for a more interesting storyline. After all, a technology doesn't need to be self-aware to be self-reinforcing.

There is a story of Bill Joy asking Danny Hillis what he thought about the scenario in which humans one day merge with robots. Danny responded that the changes would come gradually, and we'd get used to it.

That's the way it is with technology. We get used to it.

When the mechanical clock was invented, one of its early uses was to set the arrival and departure times of factory workers during the industrial revolution. At the time, people hated the idea of getting to work at a certain time; it felt like the ultimate victory of machine over man. Now, it's seen as responsible behavior.

But if aliens come from outer space and see people wake up grudgingly every morning to the beeping of an alarm clock, they might wonder who is the master and who is the tool.

Inside of each of us, there are about 10 trillion human cells, and about 100 trillion bacterial cells. By cell count, we are only 10% human.

Given how outnumbered we are, it's surprising that we don't die more often from bacterial disease. You might expect that, of the hundreds of species of bacteria that live inside of us, at least a few would have the habit of getting out of line and growing at our expense.

We can give credit to antibiotics for saving us, but I think that would miss the point. Even before antibiotics, a surprisingly small number of people died from bacteria considering how many of them we host. And if we could invent an antibiotic that would get rid of all bacteria, we wouldn't want to. Our bacteria help us digest our food, store our fats, produce our vitamins, and train our immune systems.

The truth is that we are not alive in spite of the hordes of bacteria that inhabit us. We are alive because of them.

Relationships tend to develop a rich texture as they mature, and us and our symbiotic bacteria have been going at this for some time now. I'm reminded of an older couple, where both partners have their quirks, but each knows how far to go, when to pull back, and what to tolerate; where each knows the other so well, and is so dependent on the other, that it's hard to tell where one person stops and where the other begins.

The relationship between us and our tools is newer, like a younger love. It's fiery and exciting, and we're still trying to figure out our boundaries.

Our tools, like most things, have natural limits to their utility. Up to a certain point, e-mail makes us more efficient. After that, the mounds of e-mail in our inbox take time away from our real work. Up to a certain point, time spent on social networks brings us closer to our friends. After that, it takes away from time we spend with them in person.

Our bacteria can offer us some wisdom here. If we want tools that respect their natural limits, we can design limitation into the tools themselves.

If the idea of self-limiting tools seems antithetical to technology and capitalism, let me suggest that we already build them. A search engine is a self-limiting tool. As is an online dating site. When these tools succeed, people leave the site. Video games and TVs, on the other hand, are self-reinforcing. Their use doesn't lead to disuse; their use leads to more use.

The more self-reinforcing a tool is, the more likely we are to use it at our own expense. On the other hand, the more self-limiting a tool is, the more likely it is to die out.

The key is to find the balance.

Gandhi fiercely opposed expensive technology. And at the time, modern technology was expensive technology. If you opposed the factory, you opposed modernity.

But what Gandhi understood is that tools are most useful to the people that own them.

And villagers didn’t own factories.

We use tools to build our tools. We use an ax, a hammer, and a saw to make a cabin, and we use Python, Django, and Apache to build a web service. These upstream tools are crucial in shaping our society. A world with no hammers would have no houses.

The web, for the most part, gets this right. Most web services are built on top of free operating systems, databases, web servers, and programming languages. They are marketed by accessible tools like Facebook and Twitter and Adwords. And they are often funded by accessible funding sources like YCombinator, or Kickstarter, or by sales through App Stores. The pace of innovation on the web, and the outsized role that software has played in shaping our lives, is in large part because these upstream mechanisms for production, distribution, and financing are more available than they are in other industries.

Look for upstream tools that are accessible, and make them more powerful. The recent efforts around JavaScript, like Crankshaft and processing.js, are nice examples here.

Like the sun, our upstream tools should be accessible and empowering to all

When we build our tools, we should aim for the latter.

An individual ant is a feckless creature. It wanders around aimlessly, seeming to have no ability or purpose. But when you get a lot of them together, it's like alchemy. They transform into creatures that astound us with their intellect.

If software follows content, I imagine we'll start to see lots of APIs that do small things. But they will easily interact with one another to together do big things. And if hardware then follows software, I imagine that we will see lots of small devices that do simple things alone, but complex things together. They might remind us of ants.

When we build our tools, we often depend on metrics to guide our development. We keep graphs of unique visitors and pageviews and watch them closely. This keeps us honest. It's hard to convince anybody that we're building a useful tool if our metrics show that nobody is using it.

But we must take care when we use metrics. Metrics can be like the horse in the old Zen story. Once we decide on them, they have a habit of setting the agenda. As the old adage goes, what gets measured gets managed.

It is useful, therefore, to have missions to balance our metrics. Of course, each tool should have its own mission. But if I were to suggest one mission for all tools, it might be this:

Every tool should nourish the things upon which it depends.

We see this principle at varying levels in some of our tools today. I call them cyclical tools. The iPhone empowers the developer ecosystem that helps drive its adoption. A bike strengthens the person who pedals it. Open-source software educates its potential contributors. A hallmark of cyclical tools is that they create open loops: the bike strengthens its rider to do things other than just pedal the bike.

Cyclical tools are like trees, whose falling leaves fertilize the soil in which they grow.

It’s difficult to build cyclical tools because the alternative is so tempting. Cars are faster than bikes.

But you can’t measure the impact of tools on their own. You must measure them by the ecosystems that they co-create.

Our heads cultivate reason. Our hearts cultivate intuition.

Our heads seek opportunity. Our hearts seek purpose.

Our heads maximize utility. Our hearts give gifts.

Our heads think of self. Our hearts feel connection.

Today, our technologies reflect reason and utility and opportunity and self. But this may be an artifact of our time. We could equally imagine building technologies that reflect intuition and purpose and gift and connection. I might say we're already starting.

When people talk of gift economies, often they talk about them as a replacement for the market economy. But gift economies and market economies have operated side-by-side for much of history. Child care, until recently, was exclusively a gift economy — neighbors would babysit one another’s kids. The creative arts and science have historically been gift economies, and to a large extent they still are. And today, free, open-source software sits alongside ad-supported and paid software.

Solo Travel – Why You Need To Go On A Solo Trip At Least Once

Ever heard people who go on trips alone rave about their experience – and then tell you that you have to go on one too? We have. You’d think they are exaggerating, but thinking about it while having the wind course through your palms is a different experience altogether. Especially in times like 2020 – Covid-19 has hit the world by storm, and we are just itching to pack our suitcases again. Taking time to travel alone after so much time indoors with your family might be a good thing – and it’s not as scary as you think! In this article, we’ll delve into why you should solo travel at least once in your life. Of course, group travel has its benefits as well. Companions and conversation are imperative to human life, not just travel. Plus, you don’t have to work on your own, or take all the burden of losses onto your own shoulders. It’s a split of both responsibility, losses and wins. Sharing moments together with people you care about is beautiful and heart-warming, but experiencing memories by yourself can be a spiritual experience altogether. Let’s delve into the benefits and reasons behind solo travel being so popular – and necessary.

1. You Become Your Own Best Friend Travelling by yourself makes you more in-tune with yourself. It teaches you to be in the moment, whilst looking back at it gives you a sense of achievement.  It teaches you how to be responsible for your own actions, as there is no one else to cushion the fall – there’s no one else to share the wins with, either. You are allowed to bask in the glory of every moment, as well as given space to think and deal with your own inner dialogue. You’re allowed to freely catch up with yourself, understand your habits, quirks, likes and dislikes better and more clearly. You’ll learn that not every choice you make has to work out, but when it does, the responsibility is worth it. You may sometimes feel that you’re all alone, but this teaches you how to be lonely – how to be still in your thoughts, allowing the mess to untangle into a satisfying calmness. People generally come back from these trips as those who have formed a deeper connection with themselves – and this is why. This is what’s in it for you.

2. Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone Solo travel allows you to do many things. And in all that you do, you are forced to be aware of your surroundings, your capabilities and your actions. It puts you out of your comfort zone, and into a grey area where anything is possible – and that’s good. Often, travellers tend to partake in thrill activities or adventurous experiences with others they are close to – sharing the burden of fear. When you’re plunged into the deep end alone, you learn to cope and to melt into an experience that is so personal and so gratifying. It is times like this that (you might not know it at the time, but) build your confidence and teach you about yourself. Being in a foreign space by yourself is stepping out of your comfort zone – physically. Mentally, it is an ongoing process that some may feel in the most familiar of places. You might find comfort in the thought of being somewhere where no-one knows you. Or alternatively, in a place where you can get to know anyone. It’s all up to you!

3. Solo Travel Teaches You Empathy You meet a lot of new people on your way in your new destination. You might make many new friends – or just one. Whichever it is, these moments of familiarity with another person forms connections. It builds empathy, and teaches you first-hand. This means that you don’t just learn more about yourself, you learn more about your integration into society and the world as a bigger part. You don’t have to come into direct contact with someone, either. You can be an observer to other’s experiences, and this may also spark interest in you – the lives that those might lead when you’re not looking. The life of a mother taking her child to school, that of a scuba diver and his fishy friends. The life of that taxi driver you were talking to, or his mother who runs a café two streets away. The list is endless – and in the seemingly different ways that locals lead, you may find yourself getting lost in the similarities they have with yourself…

4. Convenience Is Key Let’s face it – solo travel is just. More. Convenient. When you’re on your own, it’s so easy to arrange things – be it a ski trip, snorkelling adventure, or just a trip to the supermarket. When you throw another person into the mix, it complicates the way you do things. Now you have to plan for two, take into consideration their needs and wants, and overall have a shared experience. While it might be comforting sometimes, it might just be a pain at other times. It is much easier to decide things or change plans last-minute, if you realise that something might not be suited to your trip. You can opt out and opt into experiences more conveniently, if it was only you who was doing the deciding. You are also less likely to be disheartened by doing something that you don’t like. For example, you do not have to go to that night market if you’re tired after a long day. If you brought your friend and you went just because they wanted to, you probably wouldn’t enjoy it as much. On the other hand, if you just went the next night instead, you’d probably have a better time because you weren’t being forced into an experience. Were to go, what to buy, what to do – all in your hands. Solo travel is great because you can tailor your trip to your needs exclusively.

5. It’s More About the Destination Imagine this – you’re walking through the cobbled streets of Spain, a soda in hand. You look around and see tall, brick buildings that take you to a different era. Small overflowing carts of a myriad flowers. The smell of saffron wafting through the air; a sign of paella being cooked at lunchtime. Another smell throws you off – coffee being ground and the sound of beans being churned in the maker. A brown pup runs across the street, with a child in tow. They’re both excited: carefree and jumping about.

It’s possible to experience these things first-hand and more clearly when you don’t have someone with you. If you were with your friends or family, you would be too caught up in conversation and laughs to notice these small nuances. Which, of course, is not a bad thing at all. It’s just a completely different memory – the experience when alone becomes more about the destination than the company. Which is why we think you should do it at least once in your life. Solo travel is amazing. And we hope you’ve got the gist of why it is so. As well as what’s in it for you at the start of your trip!

Influences on Fashion Trends

Trends can just start by people copying others, however more than often, there is an initial catalyst that gets it going, which is then pushed by things such a social media.

Specific types of people that influence fashion trends:

Stylists

Editors

Writers

Designers

Street style stars

Stylish consumers

Bloggers & social media stars

Retailers

Celebrities

Costume designers

Models

These people impact the fashion industry massively. Many are what others aspire to be like, which is why if they show their interest in something, people are likely to follow and try themselves.

Celebrity Power

This describes the influence that celebrities have on their fans and the average person. Celebrities are given so much power when it comes to be influential towards the public. 

Once a celebrity wears something, they influence their followers to dress the same. In particular, celebrities within the ages of 13-25 are typically the most influential, due to the simple reasoning that these ages are easily influenced regarding trends because they are the face of the new generation, these ages have grown up with social media and know how important it is to keep up with the latest trends. Anyone below these ages aren't likely to recognise the importance and do not feel the need to live up to anything. Anyone above the age of 25 are most likely to recognise that other things are more important and they probably don't have as much time on their hands to take notice of these things.  

 Celebrities can wear anything, and their followers will hop on the trend to try and follow them. Celebs obviously have a lot more money than the average person, because of this, a lot of high street retailers do remakes of designer items that not everyone can afford. This is to allow others the chance to buy the clothes their favourite celebrities are wearing, for a much more affordable price. This is described as the Trickle-down theory.

An example of this is when ‘pretty little thing’ brought out a black mesh dress, that was shown to be practically identical to a dress from ‘Oh Polly’. The dress is being sold at half the price, which can be appealing for those wanting to save some money. A con of doing this, is you can never guarantee the quality of clothing will be the same, when it comes to price, you are likely to get what you pay for, which is the reasoning behind most brands being that little bit more expensive.

Pretty Little Thing (RRP- £25)

Oh Polly (RRP- £48)

The Little Black Dress

Audrey Hepburn is a fashion icon who still influences style today. She started a major fashion trend classic, the ‘little black dress’. This is a fashion staple that the majority of women have and need in their wardrobe still to this day.

Audrey Hepburn = a fashion icon, continuing to influence trends today

Subcultures

‘Fashion subcultures are historical key influencers that continue to affect fashion trends and choices today.’

1. A trickle - across theory; a trend / style that is accessible for all levels of the market.

2. A bubble - up theory; street culture fashion and consumerism inspiring the designers and the trend predictors at the top end of the market.

3. A trickle - down theory; as people with fame. power, and fortune are able to explore new styles and wear the latest designs, which are then adopted by the public.

The subculture Teddy Boys originated in London, then spread across the UK during the 1950’s. The fashion style of the Teddy boy was taken from the Edwardian era; tapered trousers, long jackets and fancy waistcoats. A very overdressed, smart-casual style, almost seen as work wear.

It was the first young generation to create its own style and make it acceptable to dress up, almost as a reaction to the austerity experienced during the war.

As you can see, the teddy boys are still heavily noticed in this generation, which shows how strong subcultures are when it comes to impacting future trends that continue through time.

Style Tribes

“Style tribes’ can influence the spread and perception of new fashion looks. Style tribes are groups of people united by a distinctive look.” Holland & Jones 2017

A style tribe or fashion tribe is a group of people that dress in a distinctive style to show their membership in this group.

‘Hype beast’- Expensive clothing, big logos

‘Influencer’- High street clothing, basic styles (Prettylittlething, Missguided, Oh Polly, etc...)

‘Towie’- Big hair, Fake boobs, Fake lips, Dark tan, Always looking glam.

Social media

“A fashion influencer is a personality that has a large number of followers on social media. Creates mainly fashion content and has the power to influence the opinion and purchase behaviour of others with their recommendations.Brands endorse them to attend fashion shows, parties, designer dinnersand exclusive tripsand to wear their clothes on social media. If a salary has been involved, the influencer has to label such posts as paid or sponsored content.Before social media "they would have been called 'It girls’”.” 

Social media today has a HUGE impact on fashion trends. With millions of people using social media daily, there are thousands of bloggers and celebrities who have large followings, influencing them 24/7 with what they post and how they look. It is now very normal to become an influencer full time and make a comfortable living out of posting and promoting brands online. This goes to show how big social media has gotten throughout the years, and how big the impact is towards others, which is why people will now pay influencers, hoping to get their brands noticed.

Global Issues

“2020 will define the future of fashion. The industry is already in the process of significant transformation, but now as many parts of the world move into anti-viral lockdown, coronavirus becomes the catalyst for truly seismic change.

The human impact gives a new perspective on consumption habits, so expect your consumer to develop new priorities, from limitarianism to the need for protection and comfort. Whether it's the politically woke Gen Z or newly vulnerable Boomers, customers will be looking for better connections with their products and will spend with greater intention. This is not a crisis we can sell our way out of, we need to design our way through it with thoughtful product. Dedicating more resources to research and development will help to future-proof your business.”- WGSN

The current pandemic that is happening right now, plays a big factor in the trend forecasting industry. With the current circumstances, people are staying home and rarely going out, meaning that loungewear is being released everywhere and is a big hit, due to the high demand of people wanting to be comfortable during these hard times.

Despite this, the current global issue is making the ob of a fashion forecaster extremely hard. Their job is to know what will happen in the new future, they can't do this when the end of the pandemic date, is so uncertain.

“Trend forecasters predict a more trendless future

Most believe that Covid-19 has validated their predictions that the fashion industry needs to slow down and fashion brands need to have more of an individual voice.” Vogue 2020

Discuss the varied trend influencers that have impacted trends historically and today; subcultures, celebrities, fashion bloggers (Ref the lecture 2)
