The Power Of Hi. Curmudgeon’s Rule!
Remember that ad campaign Got Milk? Of course you do, one of the reasons it was so popular, other that brilliantly done was the strategy behind it. Research had shown that people don’t think about milk until they do not have it while eating a snack like cereal, cookies, or a peanut butter sandwich. I hope you are seeing where this is going. It’s a metaphor… And here is the other side of it, instead of telling people that milk is good for them, the ads showed funny, painful moments of being out of milk.
Yesterdays story on Curmudgeon, came in about two weeks ago. I didn’t want to burry it in the middle of the AI ( Alice In )wonderland stuff. It felt out of place, and that in hindsight was the gift of the story, AND the name on the boat. Perfection for the right moment. Oh you think WoodyBoater is just crap flapping in the breeze… Yes that is true, but there is a rhythm to this madness. After nearly 20 years of this, there is a heart beat oddly enough. With the occasional murmur. But you get the idea.

Yesterdays story had a very profound and deep impact after all the loss of reality stories with AI and looking to the future. Back to the Got Milk insight. BTW, none of this was planned this way, It just kinda happened. FOR A REASON. WARNING I AM ABOUT TO GET SPACY TINKLE. And yes so you know its really me. The universe, gives us moments, balance. Looking forward, also requires looking back. Extremes are fun to see, but not fun to live all the time. Yin and Yang!
AI and HI. Human Intelligence, or see it… Hi! A simple Hello. BTW, it ws a typo while writing this, a human error, and a whole new thought came to mind. The emotion is right there staring you in the face. Hi! Always start with Hi, and then go where you want to go. Yesterdays story was a bitch slap in the face reminder of the power of Hi. You can’t have AI without Hi. AI just gathers Hi. OKAY LOOP ALERT, I am gonna stop right here, I am getting all jacked up again, my Cortisol is starting to jack me up again. I need to go to my personal Data Center, The Railway and detox some more. Thank you for allowing me to play in the AI sand. I want to go home now.
