A quotation from Orwell

I suggest that the real objective of Socialism is not happiness. Happiness hitherto has been a by-product, and for all we know it may always remain so. The real objective of Socialism is human brotherhood. This is widely felt to be the case, though it is not usually said, or not said loudly enough. Men use up their lives in heart-breaking political struggles, or get themselves killed in civil wars, or tortured in the secret prisons of the Gestapo, not in order to establish some central-heated, air-conditioned, strip-lighted Paradise, but because they want a world in which human beings love one another instead of swindling and murdering one another. And they want that world as a first step. Where they go from there is not so certain, and the attempt to foresee it in detail merely confuses the issue.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1943-12-20), “Can Socialists Be Happy?” “As I Please” column, Tribune Newspaper [as John Freeman]

I have aspirations.

dreams are much lighter

dreams are much lighter 
to carry when they are shared, keep 
speaking them out loud

our hearts have arrived

our hearts have arrived 
in taipei months before our 
feet will find their way, 

even the words we speak to 
one another have sprout wings

I visited MIT with aspirations to one day attend media lab and realized thaty personal website had been needing to be updated (about a decade out of date)

So I spent the next weekend totally re-doing it in a way that is way more editable. I used Claude to replace the squarespace templates and make it so I could really fine tune the details. Maybe there are some sections I want to update more.... But I think it's mostly acceptable.

Jamesakers.net

Particularly relevant to my MIT aspirations would be my "Monetization Tools for Artists" section. Yes I am vibe coding quite a bit for these, and learning a bunch along the way. They are still under development.

I am at the Corning Glass Art Society conference for the week and made some vinyl stickers to promote some of my webapp tools. Its nice working in a shop that has the tools of advertising at my disposal :) The first website is already broken😅 perfect.

A quotation from Cicero

Let us spurn the rewards of today and look to future glory; let us deem best what is most honorable; let us hope for what we want, but bear what befalls us; finally, let us consider that even the bodies of brave men and great citizens are mortal; but that activity of the mind and the glory of virtue are for ever.
 
[Praesentis fructus neglegamus, posteritatis gloriae serviamus; id esse optimum putemus quod erit rectissimum; speremus quae volumus, sed quod acciderit feramus; cogitemus denique corpus virorum fortium magnorum hominum esse mortale, animi vero motus et virtutis gloriam sempiternam.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
Pro Sestio [For Publius Sestius], ch. 68 / sec. 143 (56-02 BC) [tr. @sentantiq (2011)]

A quotation from Norman F. Dixon

The values communicated by status-insecure parents are such that their children learn to put personal success and the acquisition of power above all else. They are taught to judge people for their usefulness rather than their likableness. Their friends, and even future marriage partners, are selected and used in the service of personal advancement; love and affection take second place to knowing the right people. They are taught to eschew weaknesses and passivity, to respect authority, and to despise those who have not made the socio-economic grade. Success is equated with social esteem and material advantage, rather than with more spiritual values.

Norman F. Dixon (1922-2013) British cognitive psychologist, author, military engineer
On the Psychology of Military Incompetence, Part 2, ch. 22 “Authoritarianism” (1976)

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

I think knowing more about regulations might also be fun for me since I like plane crash documentaries and documentaries about fires best.

I think I have a very strong sense of morality on this. Maybe I can find a book and later a class about safety? I would like this. Im not a reader tho. If you can help, I welcome it.

A quotation from Eric Hoffer

The only index by which to judge a government or a way of life is by the quality of the people it acts upon. No matter how noble the objectives of a government, if it blurs decency and kindness, cheapens human life, and breeds ill will and suspicion — it is an evil government.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 147 (1955)

Dear Friends of the Super-conscious,

When I was bitten by a #bee, I did not become b-gal. However with great #responsibility comes know-power.

That is why (as you may no!):

- I am an alley to the #autistic
- a #journey to the #artistic
- a #refuge for the wary-weary

In other words I am not a bot but it is one of my #aspirations. I live in space. Cyber. #Home. Rite hear.

This befuddles a lot of people including me. However as ever I have a cunning plan. Which I will be abandoning yet again. As always I am grateful to our most #precious jewels:

1. Users of the #Mastodon
2. Admins on and off the fediverse
3. The facilitators of free and open source (#Free as in FREE)
4. Experienced elderlings
5. Smart younglings
6. The Funder and thunder-mentalists
7. #Trees

Soon it will be time to break fast. Pray to #goddesses and cods that no one believes in. Except in comic #jokes. #Cosmic eh? I follow every lead into gold. I block every bribe or promise. I have never been a lyre, too busy being a hypno-critter. My favourite is Micheal Sealey
