There are days when I ask myself why conduct a learning journey online, when I can write to documents on my computer and then have a small collection of connections that are linked to me by email. These are days when I have not slept well and make decisions on the back of insufficient rest. This morning I charged ahead with writing two posts. The first was a spontaneous response to Pascal Derrien's comment thread, which was fine, and then as time was running out in the wee hours of the morning, I put together a buzz called "The Real Evan Almighty" which was a blitzkrieg gathering and thoughts about one of the Snapchat founders.
When I returned home in the afternoon, I opened up both pieces but I was shocked with what I had churned out for "Evan Almighty" - first the opening was a sidetrack about Milo, a digression that had no place in the buzz and then the stream of consciousness was all over the place, and gut reactive thoughts were littered in a pray and spray way - some of which even I had trouble remembering what I was actually thinking. It was by far the worst buzz I had ever written and it required extensive editing in the afternoon. This is one way of putting myself in a straightjacket. The diffference between me and Harry Houdini is Houdini could get out of his straightjacket as a novelty act, but I need to keep my mind returning to the purpose of being here, which is learning. Otherwise this is a fools errand on my part.
This antidote is ironically found in the same way we lose ourselves in media. It is there but we need to take our mentall straightjacket off before we can find the less which is way more. Imagine finding a link on you-tube where even the comments sound sensible, this is the road less travelled but the road one finds when the media does not take us to the shock jock drain.The net result of today's happenings leaves me at this retiring hour - or at least sufficiently comfortable in the bedroom to engage in some last hour thinking - though experts do say that we should ensure we trigger sleep connections with bed rather than use our laptops in bed. That loss of sleep of course then is the very straightjacket that reared itself in earlier on in the morning. The only Houdini tip I have been reminded of today is the golden adage
Less is More.
I suppose it is a good piece of learning to see when my learning journey has derailed a bit.

That Tausif is finding flow between an appreciation of surprise and delight and our energy moving in a virtuous cycle. Too often surprise is viewed as a negative and self-talk moves us into a viscous cycle. Intelligence about our emotions is not emotional intelligence where we have managed to take the whole and cut it into parts - which we then label as particular types of intelligence. The whole includes the positive and the negative flows that informs the colour of our emotions vs. black and white.

Dear Harvey I think I will simply call it Freudian dystopia meeting Seinfeld's Bizzaro World and it is easy to get bound in this straightjacket. Perhaps all of this may transform humanity because as a human race, we tend to go to destructive places before we build constructive answers, as illustrated by the common reality of "history repeating itself". At least there is hope for methodical reasoning produced by Bruce Tuckman - that classic "forming-storming-norming-performing" https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newLDR_86.htm or that other well worn phrase that there is "method in the madness". One thing for sure, more than ever, the lunatics are not only running the asylum, but they are showing the inhuman face of corporate behaviour, a face that is the chief qualm I experience when I see the words "successful personal brand" a.k.a. Trump succeeded.

#2 #3 #4 The irony is bait. We know this guy is throwing out bait because that is what he is saying and that is his chief hook, but I find myself biting and the moment I did, I have entered into this media asylum Look at the New York Times picture of Milo in a business suit - it is vaudeville politics and the threater of the absurd, where the lunatics are running the asylum. The net effect is not unhappiness, it is confusion and immersion into a media quicksand. I do think the New York Times article was interesting but not because of Milo, but it exposes the heightening of this circus and the signal I read in this, is that this is not the ending of this nonsense, it is an escalation point. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/21/business/milo-yiannopoulos-resigns-from-breitbart-news-after-pedophilia-comments.html?_r=0 This kind of media puts me into a straightjacket because the more I dip into the more the impulse ties me to it. I had this experience when I sat with my mom to watch her Indian TV soap shows - before I knew it I was addicted to total nonsense - it took a deliberate decision to jolt me back onto terra firma, because this kind of media is parasitic, it consumes. The redeeming value of this mediation into immaturity is it recalls what Guy Debord said about the "Society of the Spectacle" 50 years ago. Two days ago I am glad to see someone at the New York Times address one my favourite media philosophers [he unfortunately commit suicide] https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/20/opinion/trump-and-the-society-of-the-spectacle.html GUY DEBORD talked about the straightjacket long before I inadvertently found myself in one. The good news here is I want to get back to freedom. The irony is that the word "Milo" is as distracting to me as the words "successful personal branding". Milo has succeeded in this regard.
