RE: The Mind Owned - The story of traditional music versus the modern music industry staking out the mind as territory

Here's a comment from my friend Omar in California not on Steemit:

desire for power... that's the issue

it's the same desire i saw in self-help new agers

we don't know how to be non-fascist, because whether it is in conservative, alternative or spiritual forms, we still seek the aggrandizement of power

the buddhistic method is one way to jettison the issue of the desire for power... but then there are other ways to channel it - maybe with what you concluded in your blog

i can't really see a truly global-social unified channeling of this type of desire. but for sure i can imagine a network of small centers of such reformulated group-desire...

i like the idea of being ordinary

but not ordinary in the sense of dominant cultural norms
by resurrecting ordinary itself - that being truly ordinary, a divided vulnerable compassionate being, is in essence extraordinary in relation to the anesthetic mode that is spreading now

for example, when i am in villages in 'underdeveloped' regions, i meet extraordinary characters in
ordinary garb"

My reply,

Yes, we can express our extra ordinary in ways that assist all and still receive some credit if that's what we still want, but ordinary in the sense that we must remain on equal terms with those around us to maintain maximum efficiency in communication.

It's true communism really. But it's a pipedream for sure.

Yes, maybe small centres of awareness as outgrowths that slowly shift the stream of consciousness into a less capitalizing version of itself.
