Basic would never have surfaced because there was always a language better than basic for that purpose. that language was joss, which predated basic and was beautiful. but basic happened to be on a ge timesharing system that was done by dartmouth, and when ge decided to franchise that, it started spreading basic around just because it was there, not because it had any intrinsic merits whatsoever.
Beautiful Merit Purpose
We talk about social service, service to the people, service to humanity, service to others who are far away, helping to bring peace to the world - but often we forget that it is the very people around us that we must live for first of all. if you cannot serve your wife or husband or child or parent - how are you going to serve society? if you cannot make your own child happy, how do you expect to be able to make anyone else happy? if all our friends in the peace movement or of service communities of any kind do not love and help each other, whom can we love and help?

Career is the stringing together of opportunities and jobs. mix in public opinion and past regrets. add a dash of future panic and a whole lot of financial uncertainty. career is something that fools you into thinking you are in control and then takes pleasure in reminding you that you aren't. career is the thing that will not fill you up and will never make you truly whole.

Part of the concept of the euro zone was to establish a common market. the banks were going to bank across all their countries like we bank across states. but that concept got killed for a whole bunch of reasons that i won't get into. that was a good concept, by the way. it may yet return, because there are huge economies of scale in banking. that's another thing people don't quite get.

Sometimes, when we're terrified of embracing our true calling, we'll pursue a shadow calling instead. that shadow career is a metaphor for our real career. its shape is similar, its contours feel tantalizingly the same. but a shadow career entails no real risk. if we fail at a shadow career, the consequences are meaningless to us. are you pursuing a shadow career?
Real Careers Risk
Public service does not necessarily mean service in the house of commons, and public service is not synonymous with partisan political activity. it comes in a thousand colours, but the common denominator is: it's not about me - it's about we.

The question itself [of ufos] i think is legitimate. it's interesting, it's fascinating. it's mythic in scale and one of the grand questions. it's like the god question or, you know, the meaning-of-life question. it's one of those, on that scale. so you'd have to be made of wood not to be interested and, you know, have they come here? are they up there?
Thinking Interesting Meaning Of Life
You have to really make sure that every moment means something, and that every moment, there's a purpose for it. and then you have to blend it all together without it looking like you're really focusing on it. that, to me, was the magic trick that was most difficult for the film [buried].
