Neglected pages don't go unnoticed by me. Business is often about wondering what the heck we are doing. This is my retreat blog, where I can write and not many will notice, updated or not, and I am grateful to my few followers, though they may have given up. Other blogs seem serious and must compete with the fine blogs and sites of presses and writers. I don't consider myself a writer. Here I can write without self consciousness, well, that may never truly be possible.
This day I am at the threshold of a list, or an outline, things to do, directions, considerations. Even raves, the damned oath of multitasking, once deemed an impressive display of activity, some look upon as a lack of focus. What is in a definition, especially these days. Chris Anderson rates Wikipedia more highly than does Andrew Keen. Anderson considers it may be as good as the Encyclopedia of Brittan for it's size and ease of updating or correcting made possible by its nature. Though there is something to be said for true scholarship, a shared editorial-ship is to be commended.
One of my conundrums is in this area. For nine years now I have been building and hopefully improving Deerbrook Editions. But it is coming to a point where help is needed. How does one get help, especially these days. A discussion that is open may appear faulty. Wear your heart on your sleeve and even business people start to sound like therapists. Or one may ponder if you are lining a dream within a dream. A curious state even to imagine, and yet imagination is being given more weight these days but we are not in a renaissance.
It would be most interesting to survey what therapists might say about a dream within a dream, if one could afford to pay for any number of therapists to find out. Actually having a dream where one remembers something, but can't remember if the memory was in a dream or in reality is the question of philosophers. Schopenhauer put it down in The World as Will and Representation. What we have is a personal reality projected and processed by our vision brain, the magical mystery tour .
It is rather like trying to explain to me how carbon credits work, or how they are supposed to not sound like they are an invention for corporations to continue doing what they were supposed to fix twenty five years ago. And now we have thieves stealing carbon credits from the electronic holding to sell to the unsuspecting for millions. They are working on tightening up the security system that manages such credits. Perhaps it is less confusing than bankers betting on the success or failure of financial markets, credit defaults, derivatives, or real estate loans. It's amazing what people will come up with in order to make a bundle.
