Increasing Knowledge Increases Sorrow

Alright, after a while the hand started to touch a feather. No rap yet.

The name of the memo is the quote that comes on my mind from time to time. This is a pretty deep one from the bible that might require some interpretation but can be understood when you’re trying to reflect on your life a little. And by that I mean that thinking of experiences you've had so far can be blooming of this quote into a projection of your life.

Let me qualify that a little bit: each of us must have gone through some ups and downs after getting through that, after all, you might have considered that option to rather not be aware what it means to get those experiences. I'll recast this as that some things that can happen to you, you wouldn't wish to anyone else including yourself.

I found myself somewhere settled down between two projects in Brooklyn suffering from hate and anger a lot.

You might hear recently that a rapper and an entrepreneur who you are supposed to trust (I don't trust both though) decided to invest in a so-called crypto-academy that is going to make an impact on education for locals here. You can only hope that's not just a promo to drain their wallets even harder saying how it's easy to get rich doing nothing. All of us have dealt with those stories a lot already, and no one can stop people from making such mistakes since so many resources and efforts are spent to promote easy ways to get rich legally or so.

Why don't these guys come here themselves and deal with collecting garbage or talk to people who they want to support? It never worked in history when money was thrown and the abundance just popped up itself at the place it was thrown down.

Trust cannot be earned when people are making money on preaching of wasting and exploiting lifestyle that based on motto "Came from nothing, now can do whatever I want."

It's no trust to a person claiming that they are almost living for good representing being the fusion of a rebel and meditation masters and stuff; and focusing all their work on better sales. No excuses like, "The board is making decisions, I'm just getting dividends", are valid. That's either lack of taking responsibility or avoiding accepting the fact as they are.

Recent history can give you one similar example of a hippy driven by pure ideals converted to a sales tyrant. When something revolutionary is coming I think the temptation of getting as much as it possible is really big. This sounds vague, but I’m referencing to the phone and by-products such as computers and two music streaming services. In order to get better analytical reports, they harmed (I may dramatize saying excluded) ethical aspects from the developing technology. It means you’re locked in the narrow variety of the gadgets you can use, you don’t have any chance to choose any software but the embedded in the gadgets, and the minimum lifecycle of gadgets is guarantied by the sealing form-factors of the ones; sniffing all possible personal and impersonal information for a sake of better selling, which is keep being confirmed by multiple data breaches and software audits.

This is no cynicism, I'm saying straight, that if you want to do good for struggling people, you have to teach them basics first: what is good and what is bad, what is poverty and what is profligacy.

To the people it’s crucial to deliver the idea that achieve something good, you have to work, but not just to show off the world how easy you can trick on people making it the path just because it easy and seems a real calling.

If I have something else to share I’ll let you know.

Here are the first and second memos.
