Man Made Mumbo Jumbo

When you think about what humans have managed to build there are some clear winners and clear losers. Winner column could include things like Electricity, Airplanes, Bacon, Sliced Bread, Farming, Vaccines etc. Loser column would contain things like Governments, National Holidays, National Monuments, Politicians, Taxes, Country, Flag, Anthems, Federal Reserve, World Bank, Any religion and its associated paraphernalia like holidays, costumes, prayer books, prayer halls, et al. I submit the thesis that all man made form of control should be immediately abolished. We can start with world governments. Government as defined by those who constitute it in the form of politicians. These happen to be a species that will likely not find a calling in another profession although a case can be made that film stars and ex CEO or C types have made forays back and forth. As far as movie stars go I think they are idiots anyway (at least those that make said forays) and should be ignored. As to the C types I suspect the track record in either profession is not something to gloat about so we can ignore these losers also. What happens is that under the pretext of man made idea of democracy we are asked to choose the best idiot to run an organization made of the country's populace. These people are identified as a President or Prime Minister. As I said before a country is also a man made concept and therefore has no merit and crumbles the whole argument of a democracy. All this mumbo jumbo should ideally be replaced by private enterprise in all forms from a one man business to a large entity like say Boeing. The aircraft company should strive to be fully vertically integrated managing all aspects of air transport for cargo and human and other life. It should build planes, service them, own the airport and associated infrastructure to keep their hardware airborne. They can make a pure profit based decision to outsource work if they cannot staff everything. People can pay for their service in part or whole. Example - the company managing the food on a plane can sign contract with the airline as can the airport management company. Same with the radio towers and all the other man made stuff that you need to keep them planes flying. Everyone trades their service for another. Once you start introducing artificial constructs like local and state governments and then the associated nonsense of elections and parties (make that Pun intended) and radio and TV and other media channels to blab about it you get into murky waters. All this made up stuff can go and real and true private enterprise could solve any problem you throw at it. If it is national security - again a fake man made concept - since there is no nation in my plan there is no concept of national security - you basically have to define a territory owned by another private enterprise and then pay someone to get in or move about. If you force your way in you get shot. End of story. There should only be a planet wide charter that states some simple rules. Do not steal. Do not destroy what is not yours (land, physical property, people someone cares about) Sign a contract before embarking on any deal - spell out what you want and do not want. Do away with fake ideas like marriage and households. Its time has come and gone. Everything works on a contract and there is a large database that tracks all the deals. Break the deal and pay the penalty. No exceptions. Want to go to one part of the planet. Go online and look up what that part looks like and look up the deal that allows you to visit there. Pay the needed fee to the enterprise that controls that area and off you go. Visas and passports and other similar nonsense can end right there. Each and every one on the planet will be forced to put their best effort to get credibility to do a task of their choosing. Education as we know it will change in look and feel. Right now we are all put through a meat grinder that spits out basically similar thinking output. If we switch to a new model designed by private enterprise that enterprise will at the outset ask for individuals to test and learn and a parent like figure (remember that there are no rules that are not in the contract and parent is also an outdated concept) can then steer the young individual to be a thinker and not merely a follower. People will get smarter sooner and carve out meaningful thought that will enhance quality of life for the planet.

On the go(zay masta) in Japan again

Cool cat the Japanese are Tokyo at dusk  My second visit to this land of the rising sun after almost a decade. Back then clearly I was wet behind the ears product manager and likely didn’t pay attention to all (efficient) things Japanese. But today I did and of course continue to be impressed. It is as much the obvious stuff like on time travel that is both clean and comfortable and all that which makes it possible. The impressive landmark and landscapes that these humans have put together despite their cramped (or because of it) surroundings and precarious geological conditions could amaze a novice architect among us. But it’s also the little things that someone had to think about which have a phenomenal impact on day to day lives that make the Japanese stand apart. Below are few random examples- 1. Providing a very fine machined wooden toothpick in every packet of wooden chopsticks. The said chapsticks are simply set on the To Go counter of any food vendor/ convenience store wher...

Presumptive Society

Today's world is hyper connected.  I am not so sure what it means but you hear it a lot.  It is probably hyper but not sure how connected it is.  Sugar (fermented or not) is available in many ways than before and so getting hyper is easy.  It is probably more a threat than cocaine since it is sold legally. And what is this connected stuff?  Most people I encounter seem disconnected from reality.  So going back to this assumption that we are connected there are subtle and no so subtle instances of how brands and companies and middle men try to portray someone - A linkedin profile for somebody working for X years at a place advertises to the connected network that so and so is CELEBRATING X years @ Such and Such Inc. Do we know if (s)he is celebrating or cringing?  Perhaps a better way to portray will be - So and So LASTED X years @ such & such inc. Then it exhorts the readership to go ahead and congratulate them for this lasting effe...

Greasy Dra'ch'ma

With all the furor in the media around Greece for the past couple of years I thought it would be good to list all things Greek that people use in common parlance - 1. Some of us are familiar with Greek history as being where the world's largest organized scam was born - called the Olympics. At the time this courier delivered a message by running a large number of miles and that got converted into a spectator sport. Nobody thought about what this implied? Fedex does not use any of the marathon runners instead relying on bio diesel trucks so not sure where we went from courier delivery to extracting money for tickets to watch people balance themselves on a pommel horse - which by the way is quite different from a Trojan Horse - 2. which brings me to the next invention from Greek mythology that finds use today - except used in the computer virus arena. This innocuos program is accepted by a computer since it looks friendly only to unleash undesirable effects leading to loss of s...
