I was inspired to think if something has gone wrong, in the design of Internet-and-computer technologies, when I realised that an engineering problem - how to display certain information on a web-site - could possibly be solved by letting users run commands on the server (as opposed as viewing data on a client) Passwords, levels of privilege, ‘admininistrator-rights’ - don’t all these scream ‘I don’t trust you. I don’t trust others’ Now is that what I want in my life, I ask. Do I want to indirectly say ‘I don’t trust others’ every time I use a technology. Or do I want to spend time building (trust in) relationships that arguably are made and broken by (mutual) trust. Does using technology necessarily mean that I have to give up on trust and/or trust-building. Is it possible we could find a new way to use technology so that we find the satisfaction (and intimacy) that comes from a rewarding relationship with a something. A god. A business-partner. So on and so forth.</p> fifteenth of March 2018: Sunny 2018-03-15T00:00:00+00:00 http://tilde.town/2018/03/15/sunny 10th November 2016: Rainy 2016-11-10T00:00:00+00:00 http://tilde.town/2016/11/10/rainy <p>I’m suffering. They are suffering.</p> <p>How to put an end to suffering? For myself.</p> <p>Others can try out my methods if they want.</p> <p>And of course they have to find out their own way.</p> <p>Kodo Suzuki Roshi said that adults have to become like children, and children have to become like adults, for children to grow. Apparently, he said that.</p> <p>If I were a foster parent of all these lovable children in the world, my impending death is something I have to deal with. Preparations have to be made for other people to help all these children grow, so that my death will not stop their growth.</p> <p>Yes, as Jobs said, death means having to tell your children what you thought you would have the rest of your life so tell.</p> <p>THere is a temple called Antaiji in Japan. The people there practice zazen that is good for nothing.</p> <p>There is a person who is helping people to find a suitable livelihood. She also practises Zen. Her book is a work-in-progress. It is predicted to be published in Fall 2017. Her name is Maia Duerr.</p> <p>There are people who teach Zen in Singapore. Their names are Vivienne and Boey Wah Keong.</p> <p>They will do what I amy not have the time to do. At least, they can do what I may run out of time to do.</p> <p>Zazen is good for nothing. It is the way to liberate-save suffering people-human. Suzuki Roshi said that.</p>
