Addiction

You can be whoever you want to be. That's the enticement of role-playing video games. Has anyone ever told these addicted gamers that they can do the exact same thing with their own lives? You are in control of your life. You make the choices. You can pick your career. You can build the body that you want. You can be whoever it is that you really want to be, and the best part is: it's all real.

If you find yourself wishing that you could be different, don't just wish it. Do it. Be whoever your really want to be, and don't look back.

Thoughts and Opinions

Put this to practice.

Here Comes Everybody

The world turned on its head, or so you think. That's what happens when the economics of daily human interaction change. "It's all that new technology!" you say. "It changes everything!" Yes and no.

The world is an aggregate. It exists only as a result of our existence. To perceive the emergence of technology in the world as an event rather than a decision is to err. When technology catches hold, a key set of individuals must decide that such technology is in their favor. The novelty will either propagate or tumble over itself. The deciding factor? Us. We are the ones that change, and we bring technology with us.

Human interaction is at the root of it all. Everyone decides to accept the rules of social interaction or be swept up in the tide of what everyone else accepts. Technology comes with it, and enables it further.

Technology Discrimination

Does "Equal Opportunity" mean equal results? I just read a few articles about encouraging women to participate professionally in the sciences. While I agree the industry ought to be open to anyone, I don't think it's necessary to entice people of a specific demographic unless there is a direct correlation to their ability in the field. The best solution: Make it equal and open to everyone, and let people's natural tendencies flow their course.

Give it to me Straight

To the Media: STOP SEASONING MY NEWS. Please and thank you.

Today's daily events did not call for a half cup of your opinion, two and a quarter cups hype, and a tablespoon of misinformation. Give it to me straight: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. Don't be so cavalier with your influence of my opinion. Information spreads too rapidly and misinformation spreads even faster.
