'Meaning'

Just thought i'd post this, whilst doing some late night blogging to keep you all on your toes and thinking!


This is a clip of Guy Kawasaki (one of the 'BIG' silicon valley guys who brought us Mactintosh) talking about creating 'meaning'...

...and this is what Pablo has to say about 'meaning'...

'People want to find 'meaning' in everything and everyone. That's the disease of our age...'Pablo Picasso

Kawasaki gives 3 key ways of creating 'meaning':

1. Improving quality of life or of an experience
2. Righting a wrong
3. Preventing the end of something

My fellow masters students have already taken part in a discussion critiquing Kawasaki's theory, so for everyone else WHAT do you think? Is this all 'very nice' but to idealistic and not realistic? How do you determine a right or a wrong? Is Pablo right is it a disease?!

Let me know!
