We wander for distraction but we travel for fulfillment.
Our enemies can deal a blow to us any time they wish. They did not wait for permission to do this. They do not deal a blow with prior notice. They do not take action because they can't.
Getting an audience is hard. Sustaining an audience is hard. It demands a consistency of thought of purpose and of action over a long period of time.
It is even better to act quickly and err than to hesitate until the time of action is past.
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
Take time to deliberate but when the time for action has arrived stop thinking and go in.
As societies grow decadent the language grows decadent too. Words are used to disguise not to illuminate action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.
Work is hard. Distractions are plentiful. And time is short.
As information technology restructures the work situation it abstracts thought from action.
Social networking technology didn't really exist until 2004-2005. I had the idea to use this technology to bridge this gap between a general interest in addressing social issues and the practical action.
Technology has changed the fan/actor interaction quite a bit.
Realize that a Muslim will know that his wife was seen naked in this machine. You know what would be the reaction?... Terrible. I believe there's technology out there that can identify bomb-type materials without necessarily overly invading our privacy.
Technology isn't the enemy it is our ally but only if we adopt a new model that puts people before profit. I realize that we seem far from that model but I have seen it in action and it is a beautiful thing. So I'm not willing to give up yet. Hope is the last thing to die.
I had an almost fetishistic attraction to film technology.
Most technological advances in our life now come from serendipitous discoveries. That is a contraction of rocket technology and computer technology and atomic clock technology.
The moment of drifting into thought has been so clipped by modern technology. Our lives are filled with distraction with smartphones and all the rest. People are so locked into not being present.
Instead of the international police action we had hoped for during the war in Kosovo there are wars again - conducted with state-of-the-art technology but still in the old style.
