Thank you for sharing David. We will be putting this into practice at chefsurfing.com
One step at a time. I suggest getting a job at Starbucks. http://www.memphisflyer.com/memphis/starbucks-to-the-rescue/...

Also I suggest listening to NYC WBAI Radio show "The Positive Mind by Armand DeMille" for anyone reading this. - Archive available here: http://www.thepositivemind.com/tpm/radio_frame.php - Podcast Here: http://itunes.apple.com/es/podcast/positive-mind-wbai-fm-new...

Stop listening to Bob Marley. Listen to Eben Molgen. Youtube: "Eben Moglen - Freedom in The Cloud": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOEMv0S8AcA

Stop going to Starbucks. Send money to The Freedom Box Foundation. http://freedomboxfoundation.org/

Otherwise they may prove Richard Stallman correct.

As you are researching I'd check out the writing and thoughts of Norwegian Philosopher Arne Næss. He has a lot to say about different levels of rationality which are quite interesting. He began his philosophical as a hard-core rationalist with the Vienna school but later in life expanded rationality to include a larger rationality and human feeling. Also Christopher Alexander has insight here about including human feeling as an objective instead of solely subjective part of decision making.

By owning the learning graph. If I know what you're learning, I know who you are in a very important way. Given that, super targeted advertising is just the tip of the iceberg.

There are some interesting/strange "startupy" type ideas on this page: http://www.cd3wd.com/ideas/index.htm

for example: "Sms classified advertising for the 3rd world and developed countries" and "Democracy Promotion - Hit-man funds for elimination of internationally-designated dictators "
