Do you think, dear readers, that our ideas can survive time and space?
I was just watching an episode of the Larry King Live show and the Beatles were on stage (Paul and Ringo). There was a time when these guys were kings of the world, in a way, massive influence, audience etc. They don't like exactly like that now - but they have made their impact.
What I'm wondering is, where is the impact of people live on? Is it on pages, in thoughts, on the internet, or whatever? It's funny to think about how much possibility humans have and how our influence varies depending on the medium.
I'd love to conceptualize this further into like a physics equation - how much energy and connection happens when I do something here, and how much of it gets felt by others when it is written/done in another medium. It is so interesting because now we can actually have better measurements so that we know more of our actions and the corresponding reactions.
It is as if the wolrd is becoming so integrated and so understood on the micro and macro scopic levels that we can actualyl detect, predict, change, choose, and do just about anything - but also being fully aware of actual human limitations.
What that begs is the question - I will survive, but how?

It scares me to think that i could know the consequences of all my actions.
That's why I believe in demons instead. It takes some of the stress off.
Imagine having to accept the state of our planet as consented human choice. Sometimes when i think of it that way, I go into an anxious coma for weeks. I cannot talk to anyone as it is so scary to be connected to such violence. What are our limits as far as being able to cope with human nature?
i think it depends on your area of expertise. if u like to teach, you can focus on your actions as a teacher - and compare them with other strategies used by other teachers (in diff industries.) this way you will have the most informed and intrinsic approach to teaching =-)
