creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

Joining already existing game limits one’s influence and potential to  bounds of that game. Much energy is lost on adjusting to structures build for anyone but you. There is power struggle. 

By building something new we build it for ourselves and those alike. We put most energy into creation, not struggle.

Imagine you live in the 15th century, and instead of fighting and haggling with the Persians, the Venetians, the Mongols for the rights to use and trade on the Silk Road, you say fuck it and search for a way to India yourself because why not 

Put energy into creation, not fighting the status quo

Nietzsche would approve.  Affirm life, don't negate it. Ignore the dialectic. Say yes and! 🙂

I love this! I feel like it is extremely easy to get caught in either the "burn it all down" or "change it from the inside" attractor states of under performing systems, but building an alternative system that out competes is a more positive sum goal

Thats where politics come in. One build new ways and others fight the existing ways. They help each other and often join forces because of the common goal. But we often see them fighting once the goal is accomplished. IS there a solution to it?

In the words of the great late 20th century Poet, 2Pac:

“Everybody's at war with different things... I'm at war with my own heart, sometimes”

The quoted cast feels like such a great response to "Don't hate the player, hate the game"

Haha this is true, and big ! 
It is my philosophy too : directly create the world you want to live in. 🙏
