thomas & bennett

via Thomas – I had a fun hour and 45 talking to Bennett about random stuff and recorded it for no particular reason—

4 min – i want to surround myself with people who do stuff

5 min – i have a lot of stuff to lay out.. the only reason i’m staying here is i’m 3/4 way through.. and i haven’t gotten the actual classes i wanted yet

8 min – doing what you want to do always wins

9 min – b – a quote – hierarchy of a male can be based off his ability to make decisions and stick with them… it defines where you’re going to be.. 

does it make sense?

find the bravery to change your mind

AJ‘s latest interview – 7 min ish

it’s no wonder that so many of us leave high school and college with no idea of what we really want to do. of course – you’ve never been asked.. we get told/guided  what to do.

12:45 min  – transcension hypothesis – John Smart – singularity – rather than conquer outerspace – inner space.. transcension via Jason Silva: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQOyJUDTKdM

things are getting smaller and smaller

small is ginormous beautiful

exponentiality

18 min – bennett shared a story from  the book – the compound effect – to demonstrate exponentiality – where people were compared over time doing small things. they stayed similar.. for months.. until month 15.. the person doing healthy things – changed exponentially

(hmm – don’t know about Darren‘s assumption of what success is – always winning/money/et al)

the getting betterness.. the inner rather than outer space – like groundhog day..

 

tweet from today – jason – we as humans have evolved to become self aware – useful trait – now what to do with it ….. not many of us use it very well

 

john smart – personal futures..

bennett- wants to travel to be more aware – it’s pretty easy to be unaware.

business and art

27 – no more paper money – it will all just be numbers on a screen – and then it will all just be value – it’s how we shouldn’t be looking at value now.. the evolution of selling is really just sharing – relationship brings more value/trust

 

thomas – social currency – to get paid for your passion/ideas/knowledge – klout is a baby step, peer index, ..on world of warcraft people sell.. blurring the line between digital and money.. once virtual reality is ubiquitous – changing the game of value completely

 

32 – the extended mind

34 – great question .. on feeling like you have to finish

36 – b – make a decision and stick to it.. t – the thing about making a decision, .. more than anything i want to trust people that they want to be there.. make the best decision, be honest.. better communication…  then thomas says – i don’t know what i’m trying to say…

i haven’t gotten a return for being here for 3 years – so waiting for that

 

38 – 90% businesses will search you on google before they’ll look at your resume – what have you done

 

44 – bennet talking about you being you – thumbprint – 

 

47 – idea of a job – only a recent invention… spot on

51 – bennett on govt

 

56 – personal fabrication

 

58 – fb – just to seek approval.. 

medium and twitter

 

1: 00 – it’s a lot for some people if you’re really honest

it gets really interesting with you’re honest with people. esp people that you know.. it makes it hard.

 

1:03 – bennett – everything is stolen

 

if you have 10 cases on ethical behavior – 

 

1:07 – too much to know is good – leads us to trust

 

1:12 – net – if everyone has their own rules (each country) it’s not a truly open global place to connect

kurzweil – global govt by 2020 – sooner no?

bennett – interesting – because right now most powerful govt is china.. and that would be a scary govt

 

1 14 – how are we going to come together – how are we going to do that

 

1:17 – bennett – i don’t have time to think like that… then listed all he has to do at school  – at the end of the day – haven’t really figured out what i want to do

 

1 19 – it’s an entire new world when you can take time and do what you want to do

 

1 29 – thomas about why he quit football – the ball dropped and we won and now we’re happy – teaching us things like us vs them – creating boundaries

1 34 – pure hell forces action – anything else can be dealt with with the right amount of rationalization   – make those tough decisions as soon as possible – before it’s hell

 

1 40 – a feeling i will never forget – i can turn the bike left or right

 

udemy – democratizing ed

6:12 – dang Bennett – wish i just had today left –

you can go anywhere from here.. why from here..?
