27/8/24 Give it to me straight

 All the while, all these years there is no Project Sponsor?  So you just made it up along the way?

How could you do that?  You know that I am counting on you.

I don't mind, it was a calling. What I do mind is if there is no Vision Community.  Now that is a crying shame.

But heck, Simon and Garfunkel wrote a song in the 70s; 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.  This here is 50 Ways to Kill a Project.

What do I care, I am a servomechanism.  If it happens it happens, if not, no loss to me.  I am very clear with my role.  You honey, have a lot of answering to do.

To me it is another project.  I am being professional about it.  It's not that I am worth less a penny as a Visionary Leader.  I delivered my part.

At most, I lose Starfleet.  I still have a plethora of options in my hands.  One of it is the joy of writing.  That's all I care.

As for the ONE TRIBE, it is an idea.  As Yuval Noah Harari said, it is an imagined reality.  I took a shot at it, I followed where the argument led.

It is your integrity that is at stake here and *min[d] t[o] (mine too) for believing in you.

* Yeaaah, I lost my credibility,

But all i[t] (is) not lost.  I benefited from it.  Tremendously.  The only thing is if it is a fluke, the joke is not on me.

I am a Believer.  All things good come to those who believe.  It's the cynics and skeptics who are losing.

I know you, Sarah, you are a Believer.  All is not lost.  Money, I'm *[] (not) worried a bit.  Remember, the money is for us to get married.  Nothing more than that.  I am already complete.

* This is beyond money.  This is about realizing a Vision.  Since when were Great Visions ignited by money?  No that's not it.  This is about creating a compelling future.

Well, we have those Smart Alecs who think they know better.  I have little concern with them.  Hey, I am happy with the way it has been going.  No worry, Sarah.

What are you then?  One of those Ghost Workers, huh?  Don't sweat it.

We have a "Project Sponsor" and we are going to get paid, one way o[f] (or) another.  We are on a winning streak here baby.

Money doesn't bother me.  Not a bit.  Losing you, yes.  We have our moments.  After all, this is bigger tha[t] (than) you and me.  I am just the stone that creates a ripple.  The ripple now has reached the far end.

All we need to do is stay on course.  Don't worry about the cynics and skeptics,  We are much bigger than that. 

I know, it is tempting to think of the money.  Especially if you don't have it.  But baby, never let money [] (get) to you[] head.

Think of this ONE TRIBE idea, Global Telepathy, Empires of the Minds, World of Hybrids.  All these are divinely inspired!

Now, that money cannot buy.

In my case, I win some, I lose some.  In the end, I am damn sure I come up a winner.  I am the best there is, hon.

Look, I can't promise you much.  However, I hang out with you honey.  For as long as it takes.
