jer979Purpose Struggle
Yesterday, I decided that my blogging career should come to an end. I was doing myself a disservice. I told myself that the goal of the posts was to dig deeper, peel back the layers, get down to the core. But by publishing online (or on-chain as the case may be), I was subconsciously writing for others, even if I told myself that I didn't care if others read. So, in an effort to be more authentic, I figured I'd stop publishing and start doing a private journal. Within 2 hours of that decision...
jer979Value. Happiness.
I feel happy. It's fun, it's light, like a feather floating at the beginning of Forrest Gump. But, like the feather, it's not grounded. It can flitter and float away. Value is also ephemeral. We know it when we see it. We feel it, somewhere deep inside. Something connects to us, saying "yes, this is worth it." The "it" that it's worth is energy. Energy in the form of time, attention, money. The things of which our possession is limited. There's a reason why all the great traditions point to "...
jer979Coffee with AI
Every day for the past month, I’ve had a coffee date with AI. I literally sit down, with a cup of coffee, with an appointment on my calendar that says “coffee with AI”. During that time, AI (I’ve used ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Venice) and I literally have a chat, the way I would with a friend. It’s not “write this letter for me” or “do this or that.” No, it’s a chance for us to have a conversation about whatever topic I want. Many days, recently, at least, it’s been about quant...

Crypto. AI. Quantum.
All of these technologies feel like ways of removing friction from the process of delivering value.
What’s value?
In the marketplace, it’s subjective.
But it feels great-at least to me- when more of it is delivered at increasingly lower cost.
This means I have more discretion about where to allocate my resources.
That feels empowering.
Meditation is a technology for unlocking the value in the brain.
By becoming aware of how we think and noticing how we feel without reacting or judgment, we can strip away the “friction” in our lives to connect with the deep value in our souls and our core being.
This is uplifting and feels empowering.
I’m not sure what it is, but digging for value, discovering it, and removing barriers to experiencing it give me a great sense of satisfaction, like I’m somehow getting closer to the goal…whatever that is.
