Google I/O 2009 - The Myth of the Genius Programmer

good talk in general - the word "programmer" can be replaced with any profession.

Talk all you want on youtube but if you really want to save the planet you have to ram the message into peoples brains.

Some people just can't be told and have to be shown. It's the most frustrating thing.

The real geniuses I believe are those who rose to dictatorships or leadership such as Obama.

the "Human being" is one of the most "sophisticated computers" in the world,  Those who can control those "sophisticated computers" and even cause those computers to serve them..... THOSE ARE THE REAL GENIUSES!

Bush was a genius?

He hid it very well.

you got so out of the theme with this comment! classic smart guy wannabe

Then I can we can all this "Cyber-Communism" hehe

individuality is great if you are the only one on the planet, but if you are using the TOILET.....BREATHING AIR.....CONSUMING VALUABLE RESOURCES.... ETC..(contributing to earth's resource depletion, pollution, ect), It is YOUR DUTY as a HUMAN PARASITE, to work with all the other HUMAN PARASITES to figure out a better way to be harmonious with the earth and the universe!

Individuality is a must. Or else all of humanity becomes one hive mind, only able to think as one unit. No individuality. No integrity. No sovereignty. Being selfless and being selfish are both bad separately. We need both to become integrated.

I agree if individuality is for the sake of creativity, but for political purposes, I highly disagree!

Often in politics compromises are needed between different individual wills. That's fine, but it's only a first step towards integration between being selfish and being selfless. In true integration, the clash of wills is transcended above the friction of conflicts. Easier said than done in practice though. :D
