Linkybrains 8 weeks old:)
#Linkybrains
I am going to try and describe what has gone on, and is going on, because every chat, email, call I take raises the same points. Firstly take into account that this “thing” was never defined, there was no plan, there was no goal, there is no money, we did not mean it to happen and it is less than 8 weeks old. Myself, Alex, Chris and Mike are not any super beings we just stumbled upon some thing that emotionally resonated with us.
This thing resonates massively with a certain portion of society, and when it resonates it does on a huge huge scale, everything else in the world seems dull and uninteresting when it happens. It is like your head explodes. This part of society is for some reason wired a little bit differently, maybe due to their background, upbringing etc, maybe born like it, probably a mix. I firmly believe that all people understand this thing in some form if the layers that society have imposed on humanity are removed. Like peeling an onion.
Maybe humanity has developed different twists in people to help us and that is why we have evolved as we have. Like humanity is all connected and everyone has their place and talents. Each one is special but combined is very special.
From the 1000’s of chats I have had I believe everyone wants to do something great with their life. Society has made this “great thing” to be money, build a company, fame etc etc, hence we all chase dreams and the few who make it feel shallow when they have got to the supposed nirvana. Obvious….. but look at what you are chasing now today…..probably useless and will not make you satisfied.
People want to do wow stuff that help other people on an emotional level. I know fluffy shit — yes:) All my life I had always done what felt right, but this is different……it just got straight to my heart and soul. I have great days where someone just say thanks and I sit on my sofa in tears. Then I have days when everything seems to go wrong and I am annoyed and frustrated and think why am I doing this, I don’t need to do it. Then I get up in the morning and I get a random message from someone who says wow. So the emotional roller coaster starts again.
Remember 8 weeks in and noise every where from 1000’s of people, some good noise and some just simply energy vampires who just want to moan ( I am sorry for how your life is but I can tell you pissing on other people’s fire will not make your life better ). As someone said to me yesterday let the noise keep coming, within the noise will be common signals that make things obvious. The obvious piece to me is lots of people want to do good shit:) Good stuff just feel good and every one knows it when they see it.
Chris and Suki started #fiftyfifty this was not on anyone’s plan. We don’t have a plan. It seems to make sense and aligns with the wanting to do good stuff, so looks like we have our first project, wow that was not hard. #fiftyfifty is a huge global thing on it’s own and has just appeared because via this #linkybrains thing, some people who did not know each other 8 weeks ago started talking about an idea that resonated with them. That I find is mind blowing.
The way my mind works I then project forward 5 years and think how many more things like #fiftyfifty are going to appear because 2 people have a coffee and want to do some great stuff. All #linkybrains did was facilitate something that would not have happened as easily. Linkybrains will help find the suitable resources/money as needed and if needed to help if the projects are good.
I see a huge amount of people, the majority who society will have missed and cast aside, wanting to do good stuff. These people will be connected via thin set of virtual lines, with physical sort of hubs, and real people who are also hubs, scattered across the world. People will come help and then leave to do what ever, some people will stick and help the systems work better.
My personal involvement will fall away and people will forget who I was. My gravestone will say “Dad was silly and loving”:)
