I’ve also enjoyed running various groups. In 5th grade, they asked me to tutor 3rd graders in math. In boy scouts, they had me as senior patrol leader, a 13/14 year old boy in charge of 11/12 year old boys in projects and overnight camping and such. My perfect pitch and piano playing ability meant I was used a lot to play piano songs for things at school and church like plays even when I wanted to be an actor, I had to play the piano instead, learning all the music. I got online in 1989 on PC-Link and BBSs. In 1990/91, I got on the internet (BITNET too), and formed a children’s rights LISTSERV (rights of kids/teens, rights in school and in community and stuff as well as human rights) which gathered thousands of members in its time and ran through to 2001, although I passed it on to others to run in 1995 when I focused my energies on gathering ministers from different religious together in a discussion group online to understand what patterns they all had in common in their practices. I left that after two years to others to run which they did when I joined the Eastern Orthodox church for 6 years, after having spent time raised Methodist, experimenting with Bahai, Unitarian Universalist (which felt like my people), Vipissana Meditation, Quaker, Episcopalian, even almost Roman Catholic. After Orthodox – including some time in a monastery which I really enjoyed and fit my personality very very well as i think it’s kind of epicurean, I was into Osho, which you already have, then became rekindled my interest in physics things which never really left. and now I’m synthesizing a lot of this and you’re helping me tremendously. In the meantime, I also started several businesses which weren’t my ‘thing’ but I was capable. computer repair business and the last 20 years running a company to help my brother have work – I do the business side which is easy whereas he does the work work of it. But prior to that, I was a systems analysis for a pharmaceutical company, their “excel guy”, a job I got starting as a temp, got bored, learned how to automate it using visual basic for applications, and ended up with a nice job from it which I had for a few years before moving to florida. But I’d played the stock market during that time as well, being a “contrarian investor”. I also ran a number of websites, doing SEO for myself during Web 2.0 days, making decent money with that on the side from ads, although its’ not my ‘thing’, I enjoyed the complexity of putting all the messy data together and semi-automating the whole site by using rss feeds through Yahoo Pipes I’d put together. Since 2014, I’ve been collecting all of my writings I could find on a site called icopiedyou.com – which formed the basis of a lot of the ai analysis I’ve been doing since then. I was also a prominent Vine person, getting 12000 followers and having created 15000 little vines. I also ran a Minecraft server for 25 months from 2012-2014, first for my ne but then for random people and I enjoyed that role. It was a creative / role playing server mostly.
