Pleasure First Pt.1 in Series: What Blockchain and Crytpo can do in an enlightened society

Not a damned thing! or the same damned thing it can do in a common society.

I mean, really?

We really need to work on that getting enlightened part.

If you’re not interested in a mix of sardonic post urban critique, academic conjecture and metaphysics. Go the fuck away. We go deep.

Three things prompted the writing of this entry:

It’s my time!

Early and deep snows have this power to mute the broadcast transmission of emotional energies, especially the shit that’s un-tuned, de-tuned and improperly modulated. Snow is an obstacle for most land bound prey. Empathy and sympathy have olfactory components that track like footprints in snow. So does technology.

I felt my inner predator leave the bed and building, minutes before my body this morning. I put on my sarong, bunnyhug, boots, got a cup of coffee and followed my seasonal “Spirit Animal” (It’s kind of like hundreds of years ago some dumb ass British collector’s pet Honey Badgers got loose in Walkerville, fucked some Wolverines, had a one night stand lovechild with a witch, who made babies with a few early computing devices, and well, here I am. Conditioned by violence to appear all socially, polite, appeasing, awkward, cute and cuddly, and deceptively well designed for this environment.) Like the “Spoon bender” youth of this generation.

The trick is. if you know your stomping grounds, you don’t need to know where prey wants to go.

Prey has a tendency to look backwards a lot.

In Northern climates, a lone predator’s gotta be oblique, and sometimes appear obtuse in order to isolate prey. Smart prey learns from omnivorous carrion types to understand the benefits of symbiotic partnerships with predators. The olfactory elements of empathy and sympathy play an important role in the lives of prey that cannot change color or hibernate the whole season. They must mask their scent, distract predators or learn to be of benefit to those that would eat their young or them.

In the same way, systems seek to isolate and control the creative mind that seeks to understand the workings of things. Especially things that the people in charge of systems don’t understand.

And here we are on the edge of the proliferation of an economic exchange system that is going to displace representative capital and credit, its predecessor which has been in effect  for our purposes, since the late Bronze age, about 600 years ago.

The people in power are only going to do one of two things. Fight back with all they have or find ways of controlling it. Jeremy Currier and Seth Stephens are examples of their fear.

Now, were I seeking to be in the disruptive set. I’d hire these kids and ship them off to a country where the ban on their internet activity would be encouraged instead of highly oppressed, if they don’t go work for their enemy.  Which I ain’t. I’ve got my own bag of fish to fry and since I am the Western world’s original GMO anomaly gotten loose in the infrastructure, I really ain’t concerned with the politics of ya’ll shit.

The one thing that has not change is, fast food still fights back.

Too often when we project a desired experience onto others, the passion that forms the images that bring those machinations to consensus reality are driven by the present state of pain that we are experiencing, without thinking these pains are results of past actions, and the resulting expression is the amplified projection of more pain, discomfort and dis-ease.

I want you to challenge yourself to alter those projections to embody a different result. I want to challenge you to generate in your self, for yourself, images of an elevated and sustained desire for a shared bliss, joy, happiness and peace.

If you learn that this is not your talent. I want you to imagine the search for someone for you to inspire, nurture and encourage to imagine and produce those things.
