Seems like this started with 'might makes right,' like the strongest caveman controlled the wealth. Then eventually the smartest controlled the strongest. That is the game now. The ones in charge are not only highly educated, but educated in the right way, meaning they are privy to the info that allows them be in the best position to run things and stay out of sight. Until the Tao rules again it will be this way.
But the real treasure holders, of any age, will always be the ones with the most intuition, because that is reward in itself. Unlike might or intelligence, which are tethered with responsibility...

The idea that anarchy equals chaos and violence is the strangest thing to me, because it seems to me that civilization, no matter what form it takes, is nothing other than a variable state of anarchy.
Let's say we start with a typical vision of anarchy; everyone just does whatever the hell they want. Well, in a situation like that you start to get people teaming up in order to defend themselves, assert their wills and stake their claims. Soon you have groups of groups, organizations, orders. Each group will find some set of ideals that they bond over as a guiding truth for their endeavors....

What follows is a retelling of a rather epic dream I had some time ago. I decided to play with the medium a bit, and created a series of serial tweets to relay the tale. The goal here was to not only express the dynamic flow and scope of the dream, but to also encapsulate each little moment, each pass of focus, into a single tweet worth reading on its own.

I am not sure what to think about dreams, but I am addicted. Many years back I undertook it to try and connect more deeply with my dreams, with my dreaming self. I studied and practiced all sorts of the techniques that are out there; journalling, revisiting, sharing, deconstructing. They were all very interesting and definitely brought a deeper access to these enigmatic realms. But overall I would say that it was a hell of a lot of work (on many levels), and that by connecting to my dreams through such effort, I felt I was creating a relationship quality with them that I did not want.

Today I started my very first Twitter sci-fi fiction serial. For an art that is about brevity it sure has a long genre name.
The story is called Genius Underground. It is from an epic dream I had, the details of which I simply cannot forget. So this qualifies as micro fiction, twitter serial, and a dream I suppose. Way to bring it all together.
The story beginnings of the story can be found now @wildharmonic. I will be posting 3 tweets a each morning for 8 days, starting today, for a total of 24 tweets to complete the epic tale ;)
You can always wait until I have posted the entire serial,...
