Revolutionary Thoughts

Revolutionary thoughts are appealing to me. They are something new, an unexplored place and a new tool. A lens to look at old places and see something new. Today I realized that I have some core beliefs, some foundational thoughts that are buried so deep as foundations tend to be that I do not look at them. I can become aware of them if someone outside of me points one out to me. Possibly, if I observe and listen to someone else I can see their core belief peeking through and become aware of my own stance on some subject previously unexamined. Hanging with my friend Ray, I became aware of how suspicious I am of technology in general and the internet in particular. I am wary of something like blogging because I see it as one more foothold of technology in our lives. I feel as if the part of me that consorts with the machines will join up with that same part in others and some new human/machine hybrid will emerge and supplant the living some day. I am no less repulsed by this idea, but I do think it is inevitable for machines to merge with us humans and eventually the internet will be as integral to our existence as a society as the nuerons that produce our indvidual minds. That said, maybe there is a benefit in exposing my ideas and thoughts and linking up with others who are willing to bug out in search of the truth.
