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...

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...

I need to think about it more (which probably means “ask ChatGPT”), but I’m curious about the technical difference between the concepts of “Rhythm” and “Harmony.”
I like rhythm.
I feel good when there’s a set order of things, like a program, and I “know” what I’m supposed to do next. This is my morning routine, for example. It makes me feel accomplished.
But, then there’s harmony.
There are times, like when traveling for example, when the home rhythm is not possible because, if I tried to somehow force it into my travel schedule, I would not be in rhythm with the larger experience.
Which would be (and is) disharmonious.
So, I suppose, for me at least, the challenge (and the opportunity) is to raise the awareness of the harmonic opportunity with the place, the season of life, the moment in time…and then to create and build a rhythm of activities that synchronizes with this.
I’m not a student of music (yet), but it feels like:
-Identify the harmonic opportunities
-Create a complementary rhythm
Ok, now off to check this against ChatGPT and see if I’m either in harmony, rhythm, both, or neither with what it actually is about.
