Creativity

Our minds create reality. Nothing is more devestating to the individual than the frustration of this creative ability. The insidious irony of our current predicament is that so often the real possibilities our creative thoughts produce are obstructed by existing structures, systems and institutions... also created by minds. We use the creative power of mind to restrict and limit. Certainly on the individual level, illustrated by our school system and other debilitating forms of alienation our division-of-labor productions system appears in.
Some interests are always served, but it is the power of conceptual structures, culturally implemented, that facilitate exploitation and inequality. Again mind creating reality.

We require not political democracy but creative democracy.

First blog

Today I start as a blogger. As technological innovations usher us ever forward into an uncertain future, we are more confused than ever, pursuing more meaningless passive entertainment alienated from ourselves and each other. Are you confused too? Too much used to not using your capacity to think, too much adapted to what others say about the world? Is your mind atrophying like so many others?
Don't let it happen. Stop the dumbing down, and start using your mind right now. Question the values you are taught to believe in, question the facts, question authority, question yourself. And imagine your future, imagine your world, imagine yourself, image others.
Be a philosopher yourself, and decide now to decide things for yourself, you've been listening to others for too long.
