“The Tau of Steves: What You Don’t Know Could Fill a Book”

“5” Steve Zahn, 51: “Time to yourself seems like an impractical indulgence, you’re happier and more loving once you’ve tended to your tranquility needs.” Scorpio
I have a love-hate feeling for Facebook, don’t you? It’s what’s been on my mind today, May 17th, on Day 39 of My 1-Year Experiment . Yes, I recognize if I want to attract a better following on social media I need to spend time on it.
But, on the other hand, ever since I read “Who Owns the Future” by Jaron Lanier I grown weary of what he calls siren servers. Someone crystalized his argument by saying if you’re getting it for free, then you are the product.
In my email, Ad Age Digital led with the headline, “Advertisers fear losing consumers who delete their Facebook history.”
Technology experts now began advocating for the break up or dismantling of Facebook, even as the Siren Server bans Alex Jones for spreading hate speech.
Even an early investor in Facebook and a mentor to Mark Zuckerberg has grown sour on its business model.
Give me some mental holiday time, please.

Random ones that make me want change my sign.
Leave it to the double W music icons to tempt me with their Holiday Tau.

Here’s my take on Smith’s Holiday Tau, if I don’t understand the rules I’m sure Emma the Baroness would gladly set me straight, right dear? But, what happens if social media platforms replace intimacy and friendships with fantasy and selfies?
“3” Steve Smith, 30: “You’ll be aware of how the rules change as you move in and out of the various concentric circles that span the realms between intimacy and distance.” Gemini
It’s not enough to become aware of how rules change. The trick is to have “if this, then that” actions sketched out. The best way I can advise is to stimulate your own powers of foresight. Check it out here.
