Being an idiot
Posted by: | Comments
Have you ever caught yourself being an idiot? Or are you one of those who from all personal perspectives move forward undetected. Over the years I have come to not only understand the cause for idiocy, but also I have embraced its relentless attempts to own me. Here are the typical causes for idiocy listed so that you may avoid its subtle attempts to own you.
Self-preservation – relentless attempts to isolate yourself from the sick truth that you are not all you are cracked up to be. Fear of utter and complete failure – Inner tensions aroused by the sick fact that there are some things in life that you will forever suck at doing. Pride & ego – refusal to acknowledge the fact that you are not the manager of the universe. Insecurity run amuck – When your self-preservation meets your fear of failure and they go on a spending spree.
The cure: The cure for this kind of behavior is found deep within your own soul and it will be found behind the door labeled “the truth about myself.” The cure is not experienced because one reads the sign upon the door, but rather when one opens it and goes in. Once inside this tiny obscure room within you, your clothes will disappear. You will be left utterly naked within this room surrounded by mirrored walls, ceiling and floor.
It is the place of agreement. The cure is found only when you agree with your surroundings when within this room. Once the harmonizing of both opinion and feelings takes place and you have come to an arrangement and terms of surrender, only then will you begin to experience true freedom from being a jerk. Now turn towards the door and place all your defensive weaponry on the floor before leaving. Welcome my dear child… both who you actually are and who you hope to be have kissed and made up.
No longer will you pretend to know the things you don’t. No more will you show secret disdain for those who seemed better equipped for life. No more will you avoid the people who remind you of your weaknesses. You are free to live as I… half blind, bald, under educated, impatient, somewhat insecure and loving it all. The creator loves me just this way! What a beautiful thought! I have positioned myself to have to enter this little room every day… it’s now cozy in there… real.
Theoretical minded

I know some very creative and theoretically minded people. They are masters of the rabbit trail. Their idea of fun is uncovering and discovering the undiscoverable. They seek out information that will keep them on the quest forever.
Highly theoretically minded people cannot deal with a simple conclusion and feel like they accomplished something important. I have posted a photo here to help those who need something to conquer as well as give them something to look forward to when they get home… it’s perfect!
An Accidental Increase?

It all began in 1995 with a disagreement. Sergey Brin and Larry Page would debate and argue the value of differing approaches to urban planning. What? Yuck! This was truly iron sharpening iron in the fullest sense of the word, but a relationship forged.
Without going through all the mumbo-jumbo (things we both will never understand about computers and internet’s… lol) the first version of Google was released on the Stanford website in August of 1996, just one year after these two mind freaks met.
In 1997, Brin and page decided to “give it a try…” Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were students at Stanford University first incorporated as a privately held company on September 4, 1998 under the name Google Incorporated (from Googol, meaning the number 100 to the hundredth power).
In ten years they went from a friend’s nasty garage to the Googleplex in Mountain View, CA. This is truly Accidental Increase at work! It appears that nothing is impossible…

On Importance
