Value, market and the web

My view has long been that the web gives you the benefit of easy, wide distribution of information, which for an information product or service should be great! However, of course with such easy also there is more competition, which I also think is great, for consumers, as long as people can find best quality.

Web authority helps there greatly which for most is simply search!

Much to help then in producing great business for information on the web, but where is it?

Considering things as typical on the web now, still appears that money is being used more to try and capture people's attention with an endless war of trying to push ads with mass market approach, which people naturally endlessly try to avoid.

Yet the web has the potential for so much smarter.

Also with my own things have the oddity of global attention in a community way, which has been so separate from money, am finding have to talk it--and solve the problem.

So what is going on?

Well let's say I have a product which primarily involves information, like software or a picture, or a movie, and I want to let people determine quality and pay me if they think is a quality product, how can they?

Relentlessly global systems on the web do NOT give people the ability to pay after determining quality first.

Yet people do that all the time--for purchases made off the web. They even use the web to help check and to help find quality things, to go buy something like at a store.

Where that is so obvious am more and more suspicious.

Who are the people helped by the system as it stands? Money people and people with big corporations where more and more are working to dominate the web.

Where the web can simply push back. Web can destroy any corporation with its current level of power and is getting stronger. Or less dramatically, customers can rapidly find out the truth through the web, and what business can survive if bulk of its customers abandon it?

Like consider movie industry in my country, discovering can no longer rely on made-up arbitrary rules for movies, but needs to make movies audiences actually want. Because social media helps us know.

The marketplace of ideas is coming am sure. But lots of financial misery too often in the meantime for people with quality products and services who try to rely on web primarily now, as keep finding are forced to money people, who try to exploit them ruthlessly from what I've noticed.

The worst, in my opinion, of the money people work to turn those they control to a telemarketer mentality--pushing relentless promotion in demands for attention BEGGING people to pay them for things, or threatening them if they do not PAY UP.

That does not lead to great business experience. And again, notice where can find such business behavior OFF the web, eh? Like where. Will ponder and maybe update. Probably some huckster zone.

Is interesting, so I study. And THAT is the full explanation. The web has the potential but the frameworks have to be established so that once you figure out quality of a product or service FIRST on the web THEN you can pay the person who actually is providing.

Foundations in our new reality

Trying to feel legitimate has been hard for me. So difficult to talk about my daily things with others, and finally focused more on telling here on this blog, as well as some on others. And still is kind of hard, but makes more sense and feels more real to me now.

Like my decision to look for simpler processes with math paid off HUGE, and was so much modular.

Where modular is of course used all over the place, like with cargo ship containers. And also with kitchenware where you can have all these containers nestled within each other, of the same size.

Reached for modular years ago with math, and found out was an underdeveloped area, so got two things as a result: easier and smaller.

Which did NOT go over very well with the math people, and now over 18 years since invented my primary modular approach they will not acknowledge it, nor discoveries made with it. Which is not so atypical.

Like finally realized could look at what is going on with rideshare, have a very verbose post talking meta much where bring up about halfway through near the end.

That helped a lot with perspective as talking about how people take rides. Seems simple enough. Yet consider the battles.

Shifting from there to my own was easier then.

So then was more like, oh, I found more modular with math. Yes, there was modular with math already, but I took to the next level. Which was a key innovation disrupting entire math discipline.

Much easier to process such a sentence for me at least.

Why do not people just accept new when is better? Have thought about much also, and consider, lots of people actually DO, which is what fueled the growth of Uber and also Lyft as two main ones I know. Have actually used Lyft myself.

But yeah, what if taxi companies had simply let people book rides online? And pay for rides with their smartphones? Versus fight Uber?

Is human nature I think when established people see an interloper, crossing into their territory, and get mad, versus, stop, ponder and say--cool innovations!

For me means have global without other as so much other is controlled by the establishment people.

And more and more am like, who cares. I wouldn't, if I had the money thing figured out. Eventually my story goes into the math textbooks and the history books, and those math people like taxi companies simply have to adapt to change.

With simple explanation though, can also ponder: What if such folks won? Well like with Uber and Lyft and companies like them, then you'd simply lose the ability to do things they offer. Am sure taxi companies would be forced EVENTUALLY to allow you to use smartphones for the same things, but history reflects could delay for a long time.

Is weird actually.

With my things was able to casually make math discoveries when I felt like it. The math people still refusing to acknowledge my results are in a doldrums really. But what do they care? Math people still get paid.

Luckily most of the math that science and technology needs is well developed enough. And clearly humanity isn't that excited about what might be missed until the latest and greatest finally gets properly adopted, which will change am sure once people better understand.

May be partly because of how much we have with what already is here though. We have so much brilliant already, thankfully.

So I get lots of chill time for many reasons. Am appreciating it more and more.

Still problem of a paycheck for myself is pushing me creatively. Am looking more at entertainment things and finally focusing my creativity on science fiction.

Where also is really so cool got to experience SO MUCH the global attention without any of so much other as then could carefully figure out what actually goes with it, and what does not. Plenty of times much of the drama felt intensely? Was clearly just ME trying to process and adjust to shift in my reality from MY discoveries.

That is something else. Like so much of who you were gets shattered, and has to be remade, but also is healthy, because is positive change for positive reasons.

So yeah, gets easier to talk as process. And with foundations more firmly set, can also feel better with perspective and a confidence have done things of value for lots of folks, including myself.

Discovery is so much fun. These other things are just part of our human reality and also have learned quite a bit which could help so many people too. Is very cool.

Talking fair advantage

There can be a HUGE problem with arbitrary lines in a society, where I like to define things.

And will admit have many times noticed situations where are competitive, when some person, usually a guy will SUDDENLY talk race, as is clear he has no advantage.

Which is one thing, but if you have been taught that you have race as a fair advantage, and are losing otherwise so think you can psych out another person by bringing it up? Then can be something where you may feel comfortable.

Where I would look at such a person, at times, suddenly smug. He thinks he has won something, and is sad, as is without merit.

Would find myself mentally shaking my head, thinking to myself, yet another one.

Life lessons for such people can be harsh. Where with me, of course remain polite, but no, not useful as a psych-out. But it does help for me that I have encountered it routinely enough, am not surprised by it. Just disappointed.

And is actually pseudo-class as if say, are in the United Kingdom, and someone notes he is a member of the English nobility, guess what? Is a legitimate class position recognized by society.

But here in the US, there is no such class system at all, not even in decline as is there. So that person? Who thinks he can rely on race to overcome his shortcomings? His belief in fair advantage was probably taught to him, by his parents or community, in a nation that does NOT recognize it.

Which yeah can lead to violence.

Few people realize that actual class does involve violence, as failure to acknowledge social rules is not exactly a good way to get ahead in society. And like to bring up the United Kingdom as one of the most famous where no, am confident class is NO LONGER violently enforced, but it was, in the past.

In Old England--insult the king, could lose your head.

Here in the US, you have people with that attitude and they can go on killing sprees. Which has been big in the news last few years. Where it does help to recognize the problem of pseudo-class and pseudo-nobility who can run rampant in a society when not checked.

Merit rules are just better.

So how did the US get this problem? Well that story have talked much! Where honesty is best. Besides it is an interesting story. People who somehow get taught they are innately superior who just go down in flames when forced to actually compete on merit.

Yet there are others who support them, and believe in things that are not true. And to them? Race is fair advantage.

Web disrupts in a very basic way: facts tell.

Is MUCH harder to simply lie about success in our times. Like in the past not only were arbitrary race rules used for some to steal the accomplishments of others, but also they were as has also been more publicly clear, often brutal to women. So yeah, you'd have guys quite comfortable with lack of ability who would claim credit and rewards of success, for things actually done by others.

The web makes that harder to do.

Web enables merit rules with facts shared. Which is a great thing actually.

Out of a shell and public facing

Does feel good to freely admit now was chasing math discovery as a reaction against American racism. Quietly resolved to not only find something that would blow away racist notions, but which could be done without a doubt. Which meant math.

Still am nervous on the subject though. Which I think is understandable.

Focus on math was to get around people fighting to deny the truth. Math has that ability to be perfectly provable.

And was right to so focus! Had accomplished my goal by summer 2002, and beyond my wildest dreams by 2004 with something else, and have done more since! And not surprisingly various systems pushed back so have been slowly teasing them apart, where weirdly enough not all were racist.

Where have explained those systems so here can talk more about other, like what happens to you when you have global reach, which for me was thanks to the web.

It messes with your mind.

People think it is about press and money and I thought so as well, until was dealing with things, and not having those just meant could process quietly without it being all over the press or embarrassing myself in situations around people with money.

Turns out the press just chases after people who get attention, usually. So was like am just one of the biggest they willfully ignored, and at first was mad then was glad! Especially as learn more about the reality of how things work. Usually for even most celebrities the press is a rarer thing which is about promotion, or is about something negative. So who cares?

When was in San Francisco, was often furious too as did not understand what was going on and was worried would not achieve my dreams when already had really but how to know? Also found myself strutting around at times like this huge global figure. Of course was looking not only at web stats which I emphasize but DOING things as well.

Like will admit did NOT directly influence the 2008 election in Obama's favor. But was active around that election in other ways. And have taken a position not to pick political figures, and not to influence elections. Which has been important overseas.

My view is that politicians should earn their positions, which means winning elections on merit.

So yeah, like am fascinated by British politics but by my ideals will not directly interfere with them. DO at times like to help make fun of them, but I know that is part of their culture, with some things just hilarious! Like here in the US we like ripping on presidents.

For nations that is important, so no--my one planet, many peoples and one human species philosophy is also about not interfering, where look at national boundaries as of HUGE importance. It would take quite a bit for me to cross that line and would talk it out much before would do it.

These are the kinds of things that press should have been questioning me on, and they know why, but for others sounds pretentious am sure, unless also know why, and maybe wondered. So no, despite my interest in the area was dedicated to the idea that any person for the presidency should earn the position on merit only. So will not endorse a candidate on something as specious as race, as am ONLY looking for merit. For now will not endorse any political candidate. That could change for the US only though.

Made up my own political party to help me in this area, which is not official so can claim myself as only one following it. Which helps me separate from others in American politics.

For years really went into a shell in many ways, which got worse when got laid off from my regular job doing data entry at a major insurance company. Maybe was more like what one would expect for a global figure. Happened after I decided needed to put my picture up. Decided was my duty to show a Black man in a different way, who had global reach.

The willful lack of discussion around me in certain areas IS deliberate am sure. And am like that kind of thing worked in the past. With me just lets me take you apart without you saying anything about it, if you are certain organizations like press or certain businesses or political people.

And have done it. Have done it many times and it amazes me that people can learn things that worked for over 150 years after slavery which do not work with the web, and quietly go down in flames, knowing am telling them am doing it. I like to let them know ahead of time, you know?

Ever more sophisticated techniques developed for a 20th century world. But in 21st century can simply explain them. And study them with some fascination. In essence were systems working to NOT have merit rules so mostly males who lacked sufficient ability, could be successful regardless.

Now their authority is being checked.

THAT is the part other people maybe do not witness and cannot understand when some dysfunctional yet powerful organization simply crumbles when I told them would do it, where will admit that requires help! And lots of it. And they just implode. Web enables. Or in other words do NOT completely understand how it all happens either just that it is possible because of the web.

Then headlines then around the world, but not the correct explanation.

Is important to admit I do NOT completely understand the process and was a source of much back-and-forth with myself for years. So you reality check, which is the other reason to inform ahead of time. But also found limits. And very important limits with web help in general, especially if was a personal problem, as in, never worked for a personal problem. Seemed to routinely work for global problems, and you can get a vast range of emotions on that one. Like I have this job without a paycheck for it, and realize, yeah, actually I do.

Leaving me with the task of also finding still a paying occupation, which also I learned has to be completely separate! Where for some time seemed so wrong, and now am like, oh, I understand better. Still is kind of thing is better to learn sooner than later--before you become impoverished. And have discussed my current financial desperation on another blog. Yup, talking a personal problem, so yeah DO keep trying. Do talk so many things out now.

And you think then I can simply be moved by being ignored? I think that is funny. Gave me time to process but have pushed myself recently as ponder my responsibilities. Part of me simply wished to just withdraw from the world as much as possible. And for years in many ways did, into a protective shell.

With much progress and the web picking up steam in shredding so many of those prior systems was ironic to note to myself, maybe I never needed my dream anyway. The web by allowing information to flow freely is helping radically debunk delusions of innate superiority of a ruthless and cruel few still left with them.

Regardless feels good that not only DID I achieve my goals, but was right--needed math. AND got to quietly process through reality of high levels of attention, without that making headlines around the globe.

Public facing is very important for me because is a constant thing with my global presence. My blogs and other social media do most of the heavy lifting there though. They are very good at it too. While my global is easily checked by others. And more and more understand a lot more about why certain things are done in certain ways, as reality is, for each of us, how we look public? Matters much.

Guess is real

Have a cool situation which is very hard to explain, though I clearly do try, a lot. Where for years just found it difficult to believe. Part of me did believe but for logical reasons. But getting the emotion there was very hard, because so much seemed so impossible.

More recently realized that I should just accept things objectively and rely on facts, especially those from third parties, like Google, without giving them grief. Is so wacky too. Looking at web stats was like, really? Or are they messing with me? Which went on for YEARS.

Was easier on me as escaped certain emotions and learned some things, like my walk-away test for ideas.

Now when I think I have a great idea I try to just let it go. So I quit thinking about it, and move on to other things.

With some prior ideas that would go on for years, and eventually the idea pushes itself back into the forefront, and with some things realized I was stuck with them. Could not get rid of them if I tried.

Then wondered more about why would I try? And was always about social things.

Web gave me the global attention regardless, but then had to learn how to handle the rest. Where was comforting to simply at times, figure maybe there is nothing. Let that idea go. Make it prove itself. Then push it away again, and again, and again.

So how do ideas push back? Well once shared, like here, they start changing things.

The ideas do not literally push back. Are like really hard as in immutable objects. Ideas are just solid really. Is interesting how people can think different as have pondered why. Am like, oh, you THINK something is an idea, when is some malformed thing masquerading. The real deal well, are like I said, immutable.

Just because some other human calls something an idea does not make it what I call an idea. To me may be some mismatch of concepts where maybe do not even really relate to each other. So will not work.

The real deal ideas can just change things.

They just get shared, and that sharing leads to changes. Then am looking at things, and realize, yeah, is my idea that did it, as people used the idea. Then you start questioning and trying to find some other explanation.

Which is how have spent about fifteen years really, when was sure with one thing by most measures, which was my way to count prime numbers. Then also yeah, you can check social things.

So, guess is real. Am finally at a point where have done all kinds of tests. Have checked things and re-checked just about every way possible. And have deliberately put out ideas to change problem areas in the world. Where then it is very much emotion and logic have to work together.

After all, if am going to change something on a global scale, have to believe I can do it, and believe is something need to do, so emotion has to be there. Logic just tells me when I can, not if I should.

Which is the surprise. Why cannot I have a logical system to tell me when I should use ideas to make some particular change in our world? Because is the feeling that keeps you from coming up with those very logical solutions which are really not the right thing to do.

Yeah that is it. Emotion has to be there to make the right decisions, as try to balance what one can do, with what one...will do.
