He's a treasure! To have that much knowledge much less talent, humanity, humor. Undervalued in popular music, but revered as a Master nonetheless. He's a musician and orchestrator, communicator and teacher. Hell of a skill set eh? It was really good too.

Well described! This happens it seems to a great many who were all about #open then got InterNET Worth. And probably jail time. This is not my utopia ;-)

Don't like censorship four page b.s. and seek to #openEverything. I have nothing to hide - #OpenSource #OpenGov #OpenMinds, we do need to bring about integrity for #whistleblowers. Assange shows narcissistic characteristics IMO. Whistleblowing is for the many, not one or the few.
Now is the time to observe the situation of Julian Assange in real-time and to be ready for action. Frequently check for updates by @Wikileaks on the escalating situation and let your friends know too. We must #ProtectJulian if telling the truth is supposed to be the right thing.

Based on what kind of algorithm? That would be fascinating but already there are a lot of problems that still need addressing. Like voice input for #a11y :)

My mother was great in adulthood, terrible at nurturing. My father was the nurturer, as was my husband! :D
We must now ask. How do you teach that to children with unusual behavioral traits who grow up to be adults with unusual behavioral traits? LOL (serious question)
I also picked up the English habit of saying "love" and "mate" in casual conversation. Is that rude too?
Ah fuck it. As a great man once wrote "I yam what I yam."
(points for source!)

What's your line on affectionate gesture versus contact which can be considered weird by some? I used to hug everyone! As a child, I'd hug strangers and tell them I loved them! I'd stare for hours at people and chatter constantly, all once considered "bad" and we got spankings.

Fact check: Frederick Trump was from Germany. He is DJTs grandfather. Fred Christ Trump (the father) was from the Bronx. Both known to be very cruel, selfish men without sympathy much less empathy.

Tax #BigPharma, get rid of middlemen, use the Medicare/Medicaid systems as they are somewhat Federal and can be molded. Kafkaesque alright.
Remember Ben Folds? I had no idea he was a real musician as in knows his stuff and is passionate both. People are never just one thing. I remember him from pop, not classical, but he is at heart a true orchestrator no matter what.
My mind was blown. You?

FWIW, it took a long time for me to realize that I needed to speak to myself with the kindness and respect I can show for others. It does not come easy to most of us, but if I find myself going down that drain of "I couldn't save the world" I remind myself life is bigger than me.
