May 19, 2012 - That's a really interesting and self-aware assessment. As someone who is super future-oriented, your comment is a good reminder on how to communicate to someone who is very different from me. I appreciate it.Although, to be honest, I rather you learn to be more future-oriented so that I don't have the burden of telling you not to make the mistakes I can foresee.

May 19, 2012 - Although, to be fair, life would be less fun without people like you.
CarptheFish Says:
May 19, 2012 - Ah, but I don't know if what you can forsee is actually there. Many "forsee" wrongly. That leaves me with what /I/ can forsee, with confidence...and that's not very much. The things important to me—my friends, figuring out myself, the advance of science, free/open source software, getting a job so I can have real free time—they're not really predictable. So why would I attempt to live in the future when I know nothing about what matters most to me there? I'll live it when it becomes the present.
CarptheFish Says:
May 19, 2012 - Why thank you, though I think one could say more for "people like me" than that. Take the Big Names in science and the arts, for instance: Opened up whole new fields, changed the way we live, usually for the better. I don't think they did that as a means to some future goal. Hell, most of them /couldn't even imagine/ where their work would lead. No, they /couldn't help/ making those leaps and bounds, it was their nature. And crucially, /they were allowed to chase their dreams/.
CarptheFish Says:
May 19, 2012 - Why thank you. ^^ Btw, I'm not saying the future-oriented are riding our coattails; far from it! It takes /tons/ of planning to convert flashes of brilliance into a better life.But it goes both ways: it's true, if cliché, that innovation and entrepeneuership are the greatest engines of progress. But these are risky endeavors: mostly, they fail specracularly. So it takes a certain, disciplined kind of recklessness to make those advances /that you bet on when you put money in the bank or stocks./

May 19, 2012 - Good point. The mistakes I were referring to were the particularly hedonistic ones that afflict our society, and it's true that there needs to be a balance of all views of time in order to be successful innovators, life lovers, and history appreciators. I guess the tough thing for most people to break their bad present-time habits is the fact that it's so dang fun and easy to be reckless.
sleepyballoons Says:
May 19, 2012 - Hm, I'll have to think about that more. I would think that many of the Big Names in science--and I thought the video alluded to that--are more future-oriented. In no way would those who are future-oriented ride on the coattails of those living in the present. Those who see into the future are innovators who create things never seen before--they just, as you mentioned, need a bit of that present-time recklessness and love for the moment.
CarptheFish Says:
May 19, 2012 - (Just noticed I posted two versions of the same reply. >.< )There's a difference, in my mind, between the (future-oriented) planner and the (present-oriented) innovator: The first sees where the trend lines are pointing, plans accordingly, and carries out that plan; they're all about delayed gratification. The second sees the condition currently on the ground, and by responding cleverly to them, creates what then becomes the future; they have made their work and their play one.
sleepyballoons Says:
May 20, 2012 - Ahhh, I see! I definitely agree with you here; however, would you agree that it takes a bit of both (present action, future goalmaking; and while we're at it, understanding from past experience) to be a successful innovator? I wouldn't assign the label of innovator to be exclusive to either. I think a present-oriented person who learns to act for the future can be just as successful of an innovator as a future-oriented person who capitalizes on the present.

What this book says will turn this world right-side up if it reaches enough people. You will see what I mean when you read the first 3 pages.

May 20, 2012 - At the end of this video he is talking about understanding how we spend our time. Time is very important for ourselves. Is spending time with others also important? How does spending time with other enrich ourselves and others? Does spending time together work out problems? Does spending time together save lives?How does spending time alone reguvenate ourselves?Are online worlds and games good places to spend time?Questions to ponder.

May 23, 2012 - Schools teach children to OBEY authority, this removes responsibility from the child and denies them the opportunity to ever understand critical thinking and freedom, replacing it with unquestioning loyalty to their slave owners. Religion and governments, they both teach humanity how to be slaves. People behave differently when authority figures are present, this leads to unconscious slavery leaving humanity with a mere illusion of freedom.

May 23, 2012 - I had an epiphany similar to this a few years ago while traveling in Italy. While walking the streets in Florence, I kept seeing banners that said, "Pace" (pronounced pah-che) meaning peace, in English. Reflecting on its meaning, I thought of the same word in the context of the English language. In English, "pace" refers to rhythm or some function of time. I then realized that an understanding of rhythm or "pace" is essential to an understanding of peace, and how to attain it in the world.

May 19, 2012 - The goal should be to train kids to be more future-oriented; not break the educational system to cater to the hedonist, present-oriented kids.Make the classroom more analog-based, only to act as a transition to purposefully educate students to be more future-oriented.
