The Modern Day “Social” Revolution
As the powerful advocate of liberty he was; amidst a heavy party conflict in 1800, Thomas Jefferson wrote (in a private letter), “I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” Too bad Mr. Jefferson didn’t have a Twitter account! I’d love to pour through those transcripts…
Today, we are witnessing the rapid social, economic and political changes, all of which are implicated with developing technology. Through the hard work of our early and modern day Patriots – we all have a voice – subjective to the world – for all, willing and able to hear (or at at least potentially hear.) Whatever message or statement it is that we want to project.. (e.g. Go STATE or Detroit is really a great place to live and work…) Do these topics really matter to anyone else? I know they do, but not to everybody and anybody.
Final Four - Ford Field - Detroit, Michigan
To sum this up, Jefferson et. Al. led the way for our social media revolution today. Shortly after The Declaration, “The People” set forth our Bill of Rights so that my mind, your mind and all minds are free from tyranny – at least for the moment…
Objectivity vs. Subjectivity
Recently, I was discussing my experience – or rather – listening to a gentlemen objectively explain my experiences to me – from his impartial point of view. His explanation was purely subjective by his own personal judgment from where I was sitting but his “objectivity” was certainly interesting. He reminded me of a few of my favorite lectures from my favorite and professors in college: Dr. Paul Pearsall and Dr. Andrew Barclay.
Both Pearsall and Barclay had uniquely eclectic ways of teaching, which had subjected a positive impact on how I approach my personal/professional relationships and social connections. In fact, the first book that I read by Pearsall (SUPERIMMUNITY) opened my mind to quantum physics and a “Cosmic Code” as the late Dr. Pearsall commonly referred to this matter. Barclay also lectured (in his own subjective way) about a similar existence called a super network. This goes much deeper than Twitter, FaceBook and Social Media (in general) but the large amounts of quantitative and uniquely qualitative data that these technological applications provide – are extremely useful. Just objectively sit back and “listen” to all of the information flowing out there!
“The meaningful coincidences in our lives, seeing without looking, and understanding that there are several ways of “knowing” are evidence that there is much more to us than skin and bones and days and years.” Dr. Paul Pearsall – Making Miracles (1993)
To Doug - Aloha - Paul Pearsall (March, 1997)
