Yesterday I said to Sanna, “Hey, shouldn’t we get ourselves one or two of those bonus cards that you can use in the supermarkets?”
“Great idea!” Sanna replied.
“Thank you. We should get both ICA and Coop!”
“Nah, why don’t we just stick with Coop? My family always used to buy their food there, so it comes more natural to me. And it kind of means that we owns it together (it’s a co-operative), doesn’t it?”
She certainly seemed to be up to something.

“Maybe, I’m not sure. However, they’ve got the BEST carrots that I know of, so I say OK! Let’s stick with Coop.”
Mmmm…..CARROTS!….

As you can tell by following this blog, I’ve cheated a lot during this challenge. It didn’t fit to write one post a day, I seem more accustomed to writing fewer but longer posts. I believe that quality is more important than quantity.

Quick tips:

* Clean up after yourselves!
* Take responsibility for your self, show your friends that you care about them.
* Hug other men.
* Clean up after yourselves!
* Listen to others. Women and kids especially. The Modern Man listens to others, rather than talking themselves.
* Participate in the household and work hard to learn all the stuff you didn’t learn as a child.
* If you got a family, remember this: You are a father, not a CEO. In that order as well, ok?
* Wear pink sometimes, when you dare.
* Never get drunk around children. If you need to get stoned, or hammered drunk, get a room or travel away. Kids don’t deserve to hang around idiots who’ve chosen to become less conscious about their presence, and it’s just not cool.
* Remember to play. It is as important in work situations as in home situations. Play is key.
* You can’t claim to love another person at the same time as you hurt that person. If you love someone, you don’t hurt him. Try to compare you lovers with your closest friends, what kind of demands would you put on those?

Well, there you have it! A list with quick tips to becoming more modern!

The world never ceases to entertain or surprise me.

As I get closer to anything, the complexity, and interestingness gets deeper and deeper.

Beauty and joy is to be found in our perspectives rather than in our surroundings.

View your act as your avatar and your presence as a player.

Even the saddest parts gets fun.
I’m quoting Shakespeare on this one:

All the world’s a stage.

and all the women and men merely players:

they have their exits and their entrances;

and one man in his time plays many parts…

This trial is harder than I thought as I’m sometimes experiencing frustration. It’s not that I don’t know what to write about, it is just that I get frustrated, tired and angry around my own words.

I sometimes lack the motivation to really explain each concept in a clear and concise manner. It’s not that I don’t have the time, but there really is distractions that disturb me in this trial.

I’m more interested in others writings.
Please continue to write, and so will I.

Sanna posted a really good post yesterday, here’s a quote in swedish.

Varför skall jag vänta ännu längre med att förverkliga mina drömmar och mål, eller slösa bort ännu mer tid på något så idiotiskt som att uppnå ett skönhetsideal som begränsar och stänger inne alla dessa fantastiska kvinnor och tjejer? Jag ställer inte upp på det, jag tycker det är sjukt och avskyvärt på alla sätt och jag hoppas att alla ni som rättfärdigar alla dessa vidriga ideal och/eller profiterar på folks dåliga självkänsla genom att sälja/promota bantnings-tvprogram, skönhetsprodukter, light-ost och mini-crémefraiche en dag kommer att brinna i helvetet.

Well stated.

I imagine a future world were peace, equality and play is a central part of our daily life.

We survived the climate crisis, and came to join hands as we all understood that the economy had to be reevaluated and changed.

The change occurred simultaneously all over the globe.
Entrepreneurs like Sergey Brin and Larry Page, had together with other daredevils taken an initiative to change the world.
In order to inspire other, they changed Google’s internal structure together with their employees. They evaluated different models and came to the conclusion that they would try the Participatory Economics model.

It worked out alright!

Google was more productive than ever but they come to understand that their business model wouldn’t hold in a ParEcon (Participatory Economics) society. So they adapted and came up with some new great ideas that would be of a social value to others.

They talked about this change with great enthusiasm, and released their internal documents which described how they did the change.
More and more company’s tried the same model, and soon, they were a small minority.

Minority’s quickly grow if the information can reach out in the right way.
Just look at Firefox. In a period of three years it has more than doubled it’s market share, from 15 % to 36% and has really put Microsoft up to some tough and hard competition.
That is an amazing accomplishment.

In a few years, ParEcon was the de facto standard way to organize companys, and soon laws adapted and society as a whole as well.

I want kids to learn how to program, in the same sense as they learn how to write.
I want humanity to explore the outer realms of space.
I want love to be a happy addition, not a bonding commitment.
I want science, information and technology to be free, as in free speech.
I want progress and tedious tasks to be joyous for and shared by everyone who is affected by it.
I want to live in a sustainable community were we bond together with nature, in synergy.
I want kids to be prioritized, respected, seen and heard upon.
I want play.
I want to explore psi and the energy that is called Ki in the East.
I want hang gliding to become a national sport, and an acceptable way of traveling.

I want democracy.
