Divinity is every version.
A temple is every one.
Worship is your every thought.
Ritual is your every action.
Scripture is your every word.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
– George Bernard Shaw
Irish dramatist & socialist (1856 – 1950)
You came into power by having a platform the public could relate to.
You can win by having a new platform the public can relate to.
Forget about attacking the opposition directly. It is a waste of time and resources.
It was Eisenhower who said, “The plan is useless, the planning essential.”
Planning is about knowing yourself and your competitor. The actual battle is about adaptation and destruction of the competitor’s tools. WE MUST DOCUMENT THE COMPETITION TO GUIDE OUR ATTACK STRATEGY.
Napoleon’s first strike was at night and in the rain.
Martin Luther’s attack was with German and Satirical Cartoons instead of Latin and Religious Debate.
Canada conquered Vimy Ridge, by knowing how to hunt game in Canadian forests.
Germany invaded France by taking a country road around the Maginot Line.
D-Day was preceded by a massive night attack on front line communication, infrastructure and airborne troop drops behind enemy lines.
The Iraq invasion was founded on destroying the enemies’ will to fight.
We have no intent of ever executing a frontal assault against the enemy. It is romantic incompetence.
Our competitive strategey: “Don’t fight like a Gentleman, fight like a Noble Savage.”
We are not seeking the approval of the professionals.
We are developing a language and tools to make the ordinary person extraordinary.
It is called the RECOVERY PLATFORM.
Create a phenomena called the “Personal Corporation.”
Make every Canadian capable of governing every aspect of their own life via the internet.
Abandon Marxism, Communism, Socialism, Capitalism, Liberalism, Conservatism, Racism, Fascism, Nazism.
Create the Manifesto of “PERSONALISM” the politics of the internet.
Sincerely,

I have been having some very interesting conflicts between my business model and conventional business models these days. And the result has been an increase in my resolve to live according to my model.
I have been building my business around my life and the lives of those I choose to help in this world instead of building my life around business. The result is I am seeing the people I help making real progress in becoming independent and self-sustaining individuals with a deep concern for the welfare of those around them.
I have been called undisciplined, unprofessional, unfocused and many other things, however I realize that the real difference is my vision and mission as an individual and as a business person. I am truly putting people first and that scares the 20th century thinkers I come up against. And my life and business are both growing in a way that people want to come on board.
You look at the American economy and it is a failure. Capitalists are in denial. Every political concept does not deliver. Maybe it is time for something new.
Today I read about the United We Serve initiative by President Obama and I feel I am on the right track as a servant leader and a servant business here in Canada.

In my previous post I was thinking about the fundamental components of a business. Now I want to think about the fundamental contexts and the four dimensions of each context.
Over the next few posts I will be exploring each of these contexts and dimensions. Personally, I think current data warehouse design is a load of bullshit. Relational business intelligence is an oxymoron.

So, you use Twitter and are yelling into space that you just flushed the toilet. Who gives a damn? Your boss should.
Twitter is one thing and one thing only: A status reporting service. And that is all it needs to be.
I have analyzed, designed, developed and implemented project management systems over my entire 25 year career. When I look at Twitter, I see gold–not gold–diamonds.
One of the biggest challenges for the project manager is status estimates and actuals. Twitter provides a platform for immediately updating both. It would allow project team members to enter estimates and actuals on the fly in real time. Calendaring and timesheets could become obsolete. Twitter could drive projects, payrolls and billing, inventories, transactions, heuristics and algorithms dynamically by doing one thing, reporting status.
All a business has to do is create Twitter business accounts for all its suppliers, employees, distributors, even customers and then follow their business tweets. Plug them into Project Management: Instant ROI.
Every single Twitter to date has just been a bunch of playing with Twitter technology. But status is at the heart of all business planning and tracking.
Yes, status reporting is all you can produce as a node, however the other product is you can link those nodes and the statuses themselves and statuses are of an array of media types now which can also be linked. I think Barabasi’s book “Linked” is very relevant here: http://blog.grantczerepak.com/2009/01/20/barabasi-scale-free-networks/. Tweets are not stand alone statuses, tweets are now multimedia status networks. Call them “twigs”, “branches”, “trunks” and “trees”. A gaant chart is a means of viewing that network. People, Media, Events, Locations, Reasons, Methods, Currency are an accepted ontology for the types of statuses that can be linked. These could be called “flocks”, “tweets”, “seasons”, “nests”, “migrations”, “rituals” and “eggs” respectively. And they are all in trees.
A gaant chart is a “project management tree”.
But Twitter, to be fully realized as a business application has to develop one thing more, an economy.
We should make it possible for everyone to set the price of their tweets as easy as possible.
If you want to tweet for free, just set the default to zero. However, if you come up with a goody it should be just as easy to set a tweet price, egg value, you want.
If Google can make it possible to display and bid on advertising on the scale they have set up, it would be just as easy for Twitter to make all “flocks”, “tweets”, “seasons”, “nests”, “migrations”, “rituals” and “trees” valuable monetarily in “eggs”.
What is an ad but a tweet?
The result would be a global circulation of capital that would make international free trade in Twitter a major contributor to a new economy.
Twittering does not want to be free. Twittering wants to have the price the market will bear. And you and I and everyone should see the value in gratitude (acknowledgment and credit), sharing (advertising, pro bono and branding for identity) and caring (buying and selling for sustainability) through Twitter.
Need and want are different. There is nothing wrong with taking all you need from the world, that is gratitude. Taking less than you want is sharing. Giving what you want is caring.
You have just had the Twitter future revealed to you. You have seen it here and heard it from me. First.

We have all been had. There are thousands of companies out there telling us our content has no monetary value and then using our sweat to make billions on advertising and claiming they are benevolently providing us a service. THERE IS NO BENEVOLENCE ONLY BUSINESS.
Every post you put on the web has value. Every keystroke, every mouse click has value. Corporations are using it to advertise, analyze markets, sell to you. YOU SHOULD HAVE A PIECE OF THE MONETARY PIE.
The problem is not technology. Sending payment to everyone is damned easy. The problem is middle men. MIDDLE MEN MAKE THE PRICE OF EVERYTHING ARTIFICIALLY HIGH.
We can all profit. Everything we do has worth. We can charge for everything. Everytime someone looks at our content we can profit. DEAL DIRECT TO LOWER THE PRICE OF EVERYTHING, DON’T GIVE YOUR WORK AND CONTENT AWAY FOR FREE. THE WEBSITES DON’T. THE CARRIERS DON’T.
You have worth. You have value. YOU MUST BE PAID WHEN YOUR CONTENT IS DISPLAYED.
Stop being a Tube. Stop being a Twit. Stop being a Face. Stop being a Space. Stop Digging. Stop Gurgling. You are not children any more. YOU ARE THE KEY. ENJOY CAPITALISM. DEMAND PAYMENT.
There is a Fair Global Price for everything and it is not Open Source. THE COMMONS WILL ALWAYS BE A TRAGEDY.
ONE WORLD, FIRST WORLD.
