The last one is tough! That gives me pause.

I’m not sure if this relates, but whenever I’m playing with principles and social games and stuff like that, I try to keep an eye on caring about doing that “software” work while keeping the bettering of the concrete pain and suffering of people themselves in sight, and not get lost in whether the principles I have are “tidy” enough or whether I’m pleasing the big Father Figure in The Sky or not. (People who don’t get software look at us and think we are doing “nothing,” which is funny because it is sort of true.)

Carrying ideas or principles or anything really is just a temporary means to a temporary end… Ideally, humans would need to study nothing, know nothing, remember nothing in order to function in any unfolding of the wholeness that has humans in them. The cheapest and fastest software — for both humans and computers — is no software at all.

Some people[? Citation Needed] worry they will lose their identity and their ideas when they “die,” even knowing that their true self never “dies” because at the level of a self-witnessing auto-creative whole the concept just doesn’t make any sense. Me, I sure hope so, so I can restart with fresh ones that are better fit to whatever viewpoint “I” will be wearing next… “I” go, and my modeling of “principles” can fade off together with the old hard drive. (Medium posts remain, but I won’t have to remember I was the imbecile who wrote them :-)
