Re: Worldviews
by

If our view of the world is composed of the beliefs we hold to be true, then it would seem there are abundant volumes of work to advise us on what and how to add new beliefs, volumes of work which exist in such quantities as to at times overwelm. But is more better, or is less more? Look at the smile of an infant, and the practiced smile of a politician. One warms the soul in a way that teases out an near-sacred optimism about all that is, while the other arguably does just the opposite. What does the infant have the polititian doesn't? Perhaps the better question is what does the infant not have. With so much advice on what to believe, where can we find advice on how to let go of the beliefs that frame our view of the world?
As for net neutrality, its all fine and well, but what happens when your VOIP 911 call gets dropped because your neighbor just started watching the latest 'West Wing' on their computer? Drop a few beliefs about who are the good guys and bad, what people deserve and what they don't, and what the internet is and what it isn't, and what it can do and what it can't. Maybe what we need are rules about what traffic really *does* need to be prioritized.
