EGO fighting for Patent. Brain…an open source platform.


Open Source as the name suggests is something that can be openly (freely) accessed or sourced. It also implies that “some things” are available to absolutely everybody to be accessed. These “some things” or “societal open source” include concepts such as language, culture, nature,  etc. When extended, as explained by Matt Ridley in one of his talks “when ideas have sex”, he offers a beautiful explanation about the ubiquitous, compulsory, “not do-withoutable”  interdependence of people …hence also their capabilities…hence also their labor…hence also their inventions and discoveries.

Come to think of it…I am writing this mail but I have not invented the iPad, I have not invented language, I have not invented my surroundings and yet I am availing of all of the past human endeavors to make this email happen.

At individual level, each of us are also continuously dipping into the open source format of the physiology which has evolved over a period of time…reference here to natural human evolution over two million years that has lent its cells/genes the super-computing-adaptive capability. Spare a moment to think the humungous and painful process of evolving …hunting-gathering, prey-predator, tool making, language, gene adaptations, species-wars, nature-understanding, etc.

The Human Gadget that we are, is the most sophisticated gadget on this planet…much more than the material possessions we are longing for. And this gadget is given to us to make a difference in this world…only that most of us spend time in identifying with differences with the world. In fact, we develop an in-house EGO which constantly files for a zillion patents almost every moment…”I did this”, “I deserve this”, …extending the realm of “me”, “mine” and “my world”.

Leaders have a MISSION on hand. They are not leading anything but these powerful gadgets…the open source human brain platform. Leaders are staring at two of the biggest creditor in the History of Mankind ever:

1.  The Open Source Societal & Human Evolution Platform

2. The Nature

The first creditor is crying to develop institutions (for occupation, for government, etc) to bridge the divide between “haves” and “have -nots”, instill compassion-friendliness-joy-equanimity. And the second creditor, The Nature, has already started serving notices for repossession of the planet in the form of tsunamis, climate change, etc.

So what is YOUR EMI? Spare Some moments and Think.

Happy Open Sourcing or Happy Openly “Sour”-cing

The William Forrester & Jamal Wallace in You

Image
A genius kid from low rung meets a prize winning recluse and both transform each other. Sixteen year old Jamal Wallace (Rob Brown) gets an opportunity in a prestigious private school. School's hope pinned high on his basketball ability and not so much in anything else, Jamal accidentally encounters William Forrester (Sean Connery).  Forrester's tragedies in life rips him away from his success (Pulitzer Prize).In course of tutelage to deserving Jamal, Forrester gradually and accidentally kindles his own life. Jamal's talent (for writing) shines and how !!! "Awareness" is the proverbial Jamal here in each of us. It is at the low rung of our priorities and importance. We believe that everything else that awareness is able to do for us, our thinking-feeling-saying-doing, is more worthy of cultivation.  Epiphanies and deep longings and timeless wisdom are the proverbial Forresters in us. Once or few times, having had the grand success of tasting dee...

you are being drafted into a war. you don't even know it .even leaders don't ....

Time and again, us humans have been at war. We certainly do not go to war because one or both or multiple sides feels over-arching abundance.  We go to war because of reasons deeply rooted in lack or scarcity or the anticipation of it . These "lack" or "scarcity" are deeply entrenched in individuals and or groups. This write-up sets out to answer the following questions: How was one drafted into wars in the past? What is the war now? How are you Asymptomatic Carriers of Warlords, thus drafted in the war  already? How can you fight it better or cut-down your participation? And these can enable you into "situational leadership" position if you chose to.  https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/vietnam-draft-dodger   How was one drafted into wars in the past? What is drafting? When a community and or its organizing body or institution went for a war, there was either what is called voluntary participation for fight...

Encounter: Jingle-raaj and Jungle-raaj.

Encounter: Jingle-raaj and Jungle-raaj.  Summary: There is the Black Lives Matter Movement sparked by murder. There is close-home Gangster-Encounter. And in some sense, all of us are involved in daily murders or encounters. At individual level. At inter-personal level. At inter-group level. And that is getting played out in heinous ways sometimes and we feel shocked. Thats because of our own blindspots and our own treadmills. Time for Justice 2.0  Discretion and Weaponization  aren't strange bed-fellows. Some theorists in evolution, civilization, governance, organization structure and development and more would argue its need in society. And they would cite the inextricable need for going beyond process (the very "bureaucracy" that renders many a project ineffective or stalls innovation or "whatever it takes" scenarios). However, what one can surely argue is "is there an adaptive form of discretion and maladaptive forms of discretion?". How can one di...
