@RichardDawkins You lumped their god in with all the other silly fictional ones.

@philiprosedale I believe we’d have to start with a new language. English, but with new words. New terms.

And with those terms develop an ethos.

And a system to let the ethos evolve.

Pick any messiah you can name. You can bet that man’s first wife did not think he was the messiah.

The poem that is in every Weekly Accounting proposal that we send out is "Intention and the System."

In a speech set to music by Akira, Jordan Peterson explains how to use the concepts of Weekly Accounting in your own life, day to day.

There is no way to stop it
The Word extracts its price
Defining Us distinct from Them
Was Our only vice.

Evolution: A poem about the Metaphysics of Quality

Born in garden sunlight.
In harmony with spring.
Living off the landscape.
Like every living thing.
‍
Rivers smooth the mountains
Animals trim the trees
People help each other 
In the evening breeze

[John Zdanowski @johnzdanowski]

Lessons passed through generations
Sharing information slow
Communication speeds up
Ending status quo
‍
Stories group the people 
Ideas swarm like bees
People fight each other
For imaginary needs

@philiprosedale Robert Pirsig tested this and wrote about it in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. He didn’t grade college students. They freaked but in the end… A students did A Quality work. B students did B Quality work and C students did C Quality work.

@philiprosedale I love that we were the Lindens

[Norgard @BrianNorgard]

There are three levels of knowing:

1.Simplicity—the child’s view
2.Complexity—the adult’s view
3.Informed Simplicity—the enlightened view of reality

The beautiful part of arriving at Informed Simplicity is you get to travel.
