Just be excellent and mean what you say or don't say it.
you will be tapped if you have quality capability or style or both.

We're all in that boat though. I think the age of internet anonymity is/was temporary. We may be on our way to a culture of inescapable transparency.

What are the ways out? Learn to be silent? Own one's history? Depersonalize/disown one's history?

The fleeting narratives are made public and permanent. What a great opportunity to learn and revise our views on identity!

^this. As I have mentioned elsewhere, this 'inversion' of sorts that's going on won't result in what many expect.

Take a look at this article, wherein millions of viewers can gaze voyeuristically into the internet posting habits of a man who was on television for probably less than a minute and whom no one will give a shit about in approximately two days.

I am becoming so paranoid about having any kind of career where I brush elbows with anyone remotely powerful or any force that might have reason to discredit me. I'm paranoid that all the things I've said on the internet will be cherry-picked and used to make some kind of case against me.

It's not, I don't think, an unnatural reaction given the way things are.




No reason to be.
This inversion movement will be crushed by its own weight...

I'm afraid I'm behind practice on being excellent and meaning what I say.

I'd rather just retreat to a place where what I say doesn't really matter, and I don't say it to anyone on the internet.

I'm just become more and more paranoid and I can feel myself breaking down as I try to make something of myself, so to speak.

no matter how old or paranoid you are you can begin again.
it's always beginner's mind that works best.

Well, yes, I'm sure that's great if one's 'identity' does not involve doing things which are against the 'law'. But unfortunately, as many of us can vouch for, being where we are an all, the law is very much a thing that is against us for expanding our minds and stepping outside of social norms, good people or not.

I see a more Orwellian future coming to pass, but then I have always been quite misanthropic by nature.

Little by little ... man, by their own hands, inches closer


Satellite, I'm watching you
I'm one step, ahead
Satellite, I'm part of you
I'm inside, your head


Quite frankly
All you have to do is let go and be free like you've always been ..

None among man maintains any power or authority to judge another for all of man is flawed. Given this truth, you also wont be able to blame another man for your actions/inaction in this life.

If anyone tries to judge you, remind them that they are without the power and authority to do so and keep it moving. To live in fear is to be resigned to death.

Have you been playing with a Ouija board?  It's like Icelander possessed you :whoa:

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

You want privacy? You may have it for a bit of know-how and some elbow grease

I agree, but there are forces pushing to infringe on said privacy. How long until all the know how and elbow grease aint enough?

I certainly don't know, but it sure looks and feels as though we are hurtling towards that line.
If people continue to care and and learn and innovate in the name of privacy, we just might maintain it.
