Are you a rebel?
Definition #2 To resist or defy an authority or a generally accepted convention.
Rebels want freedom.  They want control over their destiny and choices.  They want freedom from authority, rules, and restrictions.  We love freedom and think our democracies would be much better served if we promoted and valued our rebels more.  Marc Emery is a rebel who is currently locked up for selling seeds (a heinous crime indeed).  What rule or authority are you railing against?

Are you a jester?
Definition #3 a professional clown employed by a king or nobleman, esp at courts during the Middle Ages.
We do not want to suggest that you are a pro clown from the year 711 AD.  We do want you to be a person who pokes fun at serious stuff.  Society has modern jesters.  They host shows like The Daily Show or This Hour Has 22 Minutes.  They just don’t get their paycheck from the magistrate anymore (though technically the Queen does dole out the cash to the CBC).  If you like ripping on stuff in a way that is comedic, you are a jester in my books.  No, we cannot pay you, but if you are that funny we’re sure someone will help you go pro! :-p

Are you a believer?
Definition: #6 A person who has confidence in the truth or value of something.
This is our broadest category.  Most people believe stuff, but what we are looking for are people who believe very strongly in something.  If you have a cause, a religion, a conspiracy theory, or an opinion that you want to advance, we need you.  We need you to share that belief, so you can find others who agree, as well as, find where our values diverge.  Our belief is that questions hold the keys to peace.  What do you believe?

Are you a thinker?
Definition: #1 One who devotes much time to thought or meditation.
Philosophers, futurists, academics, and voracious readers.  You like broadening your minds and probably have thought this at least once about yourself: “I think too much”.  We definitely think too much, but meditation has helped. We need thinkers to examine and sift through the values we hold and ask the questions that will drive humanity to resolve our differences.  Without you, we get nowhere.

ACTION STEP:

rebels, jesters, believers, and thinkers by jazzmann91; Encouraging you to Question Everything.

This is in response to the dancing guy commentary posted by @sivers.  Thanks Derek! It is very encouraging, to a nut like me, that this information be provided to potential followers.

I am a nut.  There is no doubt about it, just ask my ex-girlfriend.  I’m more than willing to embarrass myself to make my dream come true, of that there is little doubt.  See my last post, for an example.  I have yet to lead a movement, or a crowd, as dancing guy did, but the time is coming.  Who knows maybe you’ll be my “first” follower?

I highly relate to dancing guy as a leader, because I also enjoy dancing.  I found it very helpful to get advice on how the nut has to keep it simple enough, so a “first follower” has a chance.  If a nut goes for broke, with all the skill he has, they end up a lone freak.  No one can keep up, let alone join in.  This is how I like to dance in nightclubs or on tree stumps in fractal forest.

I’ve been lucky or persistent enough(I can’t tell which) to find my passion and a path has sprung up in front of me.  I’ve been dancing along it, with more and more awareness, for the past 5-6 years, training myself in the way of the nut.  A vision of peace has settled around me that is so moving, I can no longer deny I am on this path and I need others to join me, or I risk becoming a lone freak.

My dance, both at the club and in life, has been largely unfollowable, until recently.  I am working on making it simple enough that others feel comfortable joining in, but it requires a mastery and ease that I am still developing.  I really need to start making videos.  I hope to have a first experiment done in the next month.

Are you a nut, first follower, momentum builder, crowd member, or fence sitter?

Thanks for reading!
