I’m very big on the idea that people need far more mental preapration for leadership and just generally for facing some of the unprecedented challenges we face these days. Distraction is certainly one of them. As Im work with olrofessionals I see that very few (if any) of them, know even basic mental strategies.

I would say that if I am going to scratch my itch that I am going to do it with as much energy and optimism that I can muster, while recognizing that at the same time that it may be my fate to do so.

Fatalism is the great cosmic joke played on all self-consciousness and, as any fan of Woody Allan would tell you, it is worthy of some self-deflating consideration.

Fatalism is also a wonderful starting point for Philosophy and I suspect that some fatalists are actually just philosphers in waiting.

Yes, that is precisely what the fatalist would say. But is it what you would say?

Man began life as a social being in small “tribal” groups, hunting the herd, where everyone was “equal”, no president, no mayor, no sheriff. Sharing was caring, in fact sharing was survival. Funnily enough this is the basis of “true freedom” or anarchy as proposed by Bakunin. No rules, no laws, no leaders, no need ! …the key to the success this anarchist utopia were the small numbers (as opposed to Marx’s anarquism for the “Masses”), as effective communication within small groups is easier.

Unfortunately the bigger the group gets, the poorer the communication and all of a sudden we have to start to define channels of communication, rules, procedures, laws, leaders….and with every procedure, with every rule, we relinquish part of our “freedom”.

But today we finally have a way to communicate effectively within the masses. Without needing a “Marx”, without needing a “Party”, without rules, without laws and…strangely enough without violence (which contradicts Mao definition of a revolution). For me the perfect example is the 15m movement in Spain, although we are seeing it on the global stage in the Arab Spring Movement (Revolution?).

The 15m movement appears in an economically hostile world. Without leaders, without rules, without laws, but with continual communication they (we?) are changing spanish society, spanish politics, spanish banking policies. Without violence (?! that’s the bit that makes the difference) they are paralysing spanish police, spanish debt collectors, spanish bailiffs, spanish media.

Is this is Bakunin Freedom for Marx’s Masses?
Is this true freedom? true anarchy?
Is this a supernova?

….get me my sun cream.
