AI

Had this weird thought. One day, not far away, AI will scrape all articles and blogs and be able to classify the personality into one of sixteen (or more, who knows) kinds. I am not talking about LGBT activists, atheist bloggers of Bangladesh, reformers of Middle East but people with certain traits. What could be these traits? It could be any indication of trouble to the regime of that time. In fact, it could be insurance companies marking people, banks betting on people's personality, maybe someone will create a socially conformable "score out of 10" off it. These could be subtle traits that make you "undesirable" or dangerous. I have been told Black Mirror already has a certain take on this, lets see, time will tell. I actually feel vulnerable writing more here but it is not like I live in the shadows, any agent with malicious intent can go through the online footprint and the craft my persona out anyway. Here is another dilemma, would you rather survive fighting in the dark or die fight in the light?

Spontaneity

I wonder what its like being spontaneous. I've been sick past couple of days - I HATE being sick. I don't know, I like how I feel with my body so I don't like these weird (no good) changes. How about I get a superpower for a couple of days?

Anyway, one good thing to come out of sickness is I get to take time off work (and myself). There is no self imposed pressure of working, or doing XYZ, fulfilling that random ambition. It's all lackadaisical - an underappreciated life trait by me. Allows me a lot of time random philosophical musings or what you really want in life (oops, I did miss her then but that's different). All I did yesterday was a 30 minute call, but it could well convert into a sale. And here I was thinking last 2 months over how to market and get clients. How did I end up with the 30 minutes? Because I just wrote a simple message to this guy. How did I end up writing to this guy? Because I took a left turn from what I had planned to do for this week and just thought I'll drop this one message. Clearly, my well oiled calculated step of actions didn't get me what a moment of spontaneity did.

I am a planning oriented guy, but I feel as thought sometimes I plan too much. Maybe, I need a break from being myself from time to time.
