About
THRIVENOTES: blog of wu-wei and extropy
WHAT NOW? WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?
At the root of every thrivenote is the will to bolster and exemplify both Wu-wei and Extropy.
Wu-wei is the principle of non-action from the Taoist tradition. It is the opinion of this blog that Wu-wei is vital in our world today where, tragically, we gain knowledge much faster than we gain wisdom; we need a reminder to allow things to flow with such chaos around us.
And, speaking of our progress, seeing the human mind as the ultimate tool-maker, Extropy represents the accumulation of our progress and the snowballing intelligence stemming from our ultimate tools, in other words: A.I. and the Internet, leading to the Nöosphere or the Hive Mind, greater knowledge sharing, and our expanding grasp of both our universe and our place in that universe.
By writing about our drive for improvement (i.e., Extropy) and also our need to balance (i.e., in the Tao), it is my hope to foster in my readers both deep and meaningful reflection and high aspirations for the scale of the future of the human species. Please enjoy and join in on the discussions.

WHAT NEXT? THE ORIGINAL WELCOMING POEM STILL THRIVES?
These words now exposed to your scrutiny balance on a knife’s fine edge.
Precarious, they lean between communiqué scraped pragmatically clean
and backward-fantastical-notional-schemes.
But few words can in fact
pass through the Filter of Lucidity twice
to crack open classical infamy tracks.
Amongst these terms tried-and-true
rare is it indeed to find intact
the lustrously gleaming expression the author had originally intended to trap.
This writing
novelty fully infused
is not to be confused with any existentially tempting blues
any more than you on your quest to find
the needle house in this haywire stack-of-cards you have been led to peruse.
In other words what you find here is yours to reuse,
an invitation not with haste to be refused.
And so lexical textures,
never before by human-literal-agency sought,
came here to thrive
uninhibited
alive.
Nigh one in ten thousand’s immortal,
but the words, self-actualizing,
populate at maximum hue
a satisfaction threshold that you never knew
until that time comes when jubilance decides to quit
for the sake of the emergent posterity’s mood.
This to make room for the blooming future’s comic wit.
The young need somewhere to sit and you a place in which to fit.
May you find it here.
And realize that your reach extends courageously
both past your grasp and whatever-it-is that you think that you lack.
So, let no one deprive you of this:
Your unequivocally-unlimited-and-ferocious capacity to bounce back,
the soul impossible to sack; to you best of luck on this destiny hack.
