Purpose 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...

Value. 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 "...

Coffee 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...

Teslas have a really cool feature by which you can see a holistic view of the traffic around you.

It’s pretty remarkable because it gives you such a high level of situational awareness.
I wonder what it would take to develop the same capability for ourselves.
Imagine having a 360 degree + view of what’s going on around you, not just physically, but energy wise.
This guy is high energy, happy. That lady is low energy, sad. That guy is high energy, angry. That kid is high energy, scared.
Developing the sensors to extend our attunement to the feelings and the energy flows of the people around us and figuring out from there where we “fit” into the overall fields.
That awareness, of how our actions (the swerve of our Teslas, if you will) might impact or “crash” into others, would be remarkable.
Now, if only I could figure out what I need to do to make that happen.
