At first glance, much of my writing might seem a bit 'all over the place.'
Personal development. Psychology. Ramblings on wine. Philosophy. Disruptive technology. Weird tangents and undecipherable creative pieces.
I've struggled for alot of years trying to make sense of the disparity of information I'd been absorbing and avenues of interest I've engaged in, within the context of some sort of coherent package by which I could somehow define myself by in the marketplace.
I'd been a jack of many trades, not quite mastering any, curious about alot of things, yet far from culminating my studies and dabbles into a succinctly-labelled "expertise" of any sorts.
T'was an awkward spot to sit in.
And, that on-the-surface-seeming scatteredness reflected in my writing. Writing that spanned a multitude of topics, issues, and debates.
Yet, as the journey has progressed, there is no randomness.
While topics might seem to jump back and forth to strange places, there is a high level of deliberateness in every small detail of what comes out through "my" writing.
There are themes and lessons weaved within. There are contexts and frameworks being established that might only begin becoming clear upon reading full bodies of work over an extended period of time - though like a holograph, each piece containing a fragment of the whole, and vice-versa.
There are breadcrumb trails tracing back. Pointers and hints at what's to come.
There's a much bigger puzzle, formed through each piece that is a single story here on Steemit...
At the core of my drive, was always this inquisitiveness into the nature of life.
I knew there were alot of things in the world that need upgrading, much broke that needed fixing, much wounded that needed healing.
So I set about on this crazy, obssessive course to "figure shit out." Read hundreds of books. Searched far and wide. Threw myself into all kinds of projects. Failed alot of times. Packed in as much knowledge and experience as I could.
I had the vision to see the potentials. I understood others' visions for global collaboration & contribution. And I had thrusted myself into a hyper-accelerated intensive self-directed learning venture that only a borderline psycho might, seeking solutions and answers like a true O.G. crack addict.
It was kinda intense.
But, I learnt alot.
I learned alot of what doesn't work. Systems. Dynamics. Ideas. Advice.
The whole gamut was a doozy. But, out of it came alot of clarity.
Eventually, I did find what I was subconsciously. Oh boy, I had no idea.
And that is a transformative point.
The change of trajectory from a search for some undefined unknown, to embarkation into completely different realms of creative potential in which to implement what treasure was found in the search.
Two different worlds.
And writing turns out to be the bridge between worlds.
My vision...
An advancement of wisdom, technology, and human capability which enables the sustainable, harmonious development of a healthy, peaceful, prosperous planet.
Except, it's pretty far encompassing with the degree of detail.
Food. Water. Energy. Government. Enterprise. Art. Culture. Education.
The depth of exploration into each system component, each topic, each subsection... the breadth of scope to capture the full spectrum of information required to effectively assess the dynamics of interconnection between them... dude.
Here on Steemit, blockchain has been the common denominator. But blockchain had just come as a means/tool with which the other pieces of the puzzle might be more effectively bridged together.
Blockchain is a means to an end. An end thousands of organizations have been working towards, regarding thousands of different challenges & problems. Each of those areas is a massive quantum network of their own requiring custom approaches to upgrading.
And in this frame of approaching the execution of a global vision to affect transformation sweeping wide throughout countless institutions and industries - thousands upon thousands of separate and interconnected cultural coding programs and systems - there's kind of alot of angles to cover.
Throughout the myriad of facets to address, there are both individual points to address relative to separate topics, and common patterns and themes that work their way through the matrix of interconnections.
As such, some of my writings may focus into certain subjects that don't seem to tie into one another. Though, they'll each probably have deeper layers weaved in - which in turn weave into the deeper layers weaved into other stories, forming a broadening subcontext wherein more deeply-buried gems of insight and wisdom may be found for those who crack the codes.
(And well ain't this turning out to be an interesting topic, following up a steady stream of "wine reviews" - wink wink, nod nod.)
If you're not following me, that's ok. The words are still working their magic.
There's no linear path on this journey. (Either following along with my writing, or life). Well, maybe from one angle.
Evolution requires expansion of senses, abilities and capabilities.
We're in that process.
It's actually rather difficult - if not altogether impossible - to even begin comprehending the scope of what we're playing in. Though if one were to attempt, it'd entail a fully-blown exploration into realm of psychology, physics, genetics, brainwave science, mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, sociology, politics, complexity science, system dynamics, bio-chemistry, economics, history, business, art, and only a few dozen more branches of knowledge to start piecing together a general overview of what and who we actually are and are evolving into.
Not a light subject, really.
And thus, it should come as no surprise that this is one of those explorations that shall be broken into two parts.
So, if you've found this stimulating and are curious to see where this is going next, be sure to carry on with Part TWO
