That book looks right up my alley! BOUGHT IT. Initial reading about Appropriate Technology/Intermediate Technology makes me think of a global version of the Prime Directive. And of course my next question is... When is the Internet appropriate?

Also, there is more of a "selling out" vibe when they don't want your skills but actually YOU to be the point of the ad. That is deeper. Paying you for an endorsement.

I like this last sentiment a lot. YOU CAN DO BETTER! I totally agree about moving past stuff. Even at the corporation where I work people ask about old software and t-shirts we used to make... and we're like, "Sorry! But check out this rad new stuf…

"I think you can pretty much keep living and doing things on a small scale by not repressing your records when they sell out, or only booking shows in small venues, or making a bunch of paintings and not really sharing them, or making poetry chapboo…

It's not really a choice. I mean, I suppose I could either quit my job or no longer accept payment, but a corporation is my employer. I could try to work just for people, but most of them, at a certain level of minimal success, decide to incorporate…

Also, I've been taking a break from Kickstarter. I've backed 31 projects for $758.00.

But you don't get to choose to be "underground" or "mainstream". At least not with digital media. If you make a song, book, film, whatever... that starts to get accolades and attention then you will be pulled from the underground to the mainstream…

Wait, why is being underground good?

That's great stuff Marcus (and DrJ).

"Maybe all history is happening everywhere all the time?" This is sort of how I feel. Like right now people (and kids/youth culture/whatever) have a choice to be punk or hippie, or whatever. I am not convinced of his call that this entrepreneurship…

That is a sexy scooter!

really!?!? That's awesome.

I will commit to not reading the book and watch the movie and report back.

Well said Alan. But I'm skipping to 26 minutes and giving it another chance. OPEN MINDED! First question from my friend Jason is great! "So, what's your idea?" His response, "I'm a critic, not a prognosticator." FUCK YOU! He is obsessed with …

Walking to work today I felt amazing. I feel slightly less amazing now as I was not as productive as I wanted to be. But still pretty amazing.

Wow, who WOULDN'T BE!? That could be very rad!

Ungh, I don't like him... "I won't call them hipsters because hipsters don't like being called hipsters." "You know... the hats, the skinny jeans, the wall to wall tattoos." "I'll just call them millennials." His talk seems to be just speaking his…

I'm pretty optimistic you guys. We live in the greatest point of all human history and my only lament is that I wasn't born 20 years later, or 40, or 100. I want to see the FUTURE! Shitty things will continue to happen and if you dwell on those it …

(he can probably bring you a baby koala as a gift!)

It will happen again!

I think I was wrong about the name. :( Just Jefferson’s Reserve Very Old.

Fine, some of them will be public companies.

You also had a fancy bourbon with me.

Whew! That was close.

"So instead of building public institutions, government is nowadays called on mainly to preside over the excruciating task of shutting them down." This seems true. And dark.

Last night I had a rum and coconut, an Ellwood, a RCOF, then a flute of champagne and a fancy bourbon with my oysters, then a scotch with Mikey K. AND I WAS NOT HUNGOVER. But also, I skipped the gym this morning. But just so I could edit video. Wa…

@kdawg Sorry, you can't be. :( @bigmacattack No one knows what caused the Great Depression. But I can tell you what solved it... WAR, and the ECONOMIC PROSPERITY that soon followed. (It turns out that you can make a country RICH by destroying anoth…

You can't be pro-Andy and anti-factorites! They were essential to the whole process! That's like being pro-money but anti-capitalist! @the_owls Of course the end of slavery was a massive part of it. You can't really participate in economic prosper…

I thought the Harlem Renaissance *ended* at the Great Depression and existing during a time of economic prosperity after WW1 known as the "Roaring Twenties"? But honestly I just the wikipedia... I don't know shit. My theory is that everything good …
