postlinearity: The Virtue of Selfishness, the Value of Selflessness

  • perilla · 11 months ago
    Very interesting point of view.

    You are right. The basic concepts of marketing and branding currently in use have been around for some time. All that new technologies, internet and web20 added was an edge in speed/accessibility of sharing/delivery of information and style/interface of the message/idea. However, in its essence, marketing and branding campaigns are not all that different from the olden times, the end of 19th century, when as a result of mass production on industrial scale, the need arose to differentiate and identify products/services with similar offerings - the origins of marketing and branding.

    The new realities of 21st century where the entire world shrank and became not merely connected but interconnected and interdependent brought an entire paradigm shift in mentalities, expectations and aspirations of humans.

    It is time that perhaps, as you suggest, product/service identity/message/information be based more widely on the values that the modern world (ideally) is promoting and aspiring to achieve - values such as integrity, trust and selflessness as well as passion, compassion being few of those.

    Interestingly, seva or 世話, in japanese also mean the same : caretaking service.
    " Start giving, and end up being part of everything" .... so very true. The recently deceased Nobel laureate Dr. Norman Borlaug came to my mind when I read this. Not only did he research on a sustaining wheat strain, but also helped diseminate his work to Mexico and South-Asian countries like India and Pakistan, war-torn at that time(1962-1971) and also under a bleak regime famine and hunger. His work led to the saving of 250 million lives...

    The conversation has already begun and spread everywhere, as soon as you open your mouth to speak. You cannot guide this conversation. Your intrinsic merit and value are clear for all to see.
