Noam Chomsky

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Here is the image of an important activist and humanitarian. I am reminded how he is not in good health but choose to engage in reminding how important he is and how his presence has helped society in many ways.

I am sorry to hear he is in poor health due to age and a recent stroke and now lives in Brazil full time. I have found a few articles and podcasts that reflect on his health and points of view on many subjects.

I tried to find the most recent public image from google.

Recovering Chomsky

It is interesting to discover these recent developments and think many people may want to be aware as I do. I certainly wish him a speedy recovery and pleasant stay in Brazil.

There Is Some News

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Well there is some buzz on YouTube and all on vids competing to deliver content in areas like space weather meets buzz like objects of current interest on YouTube. You mix in entertainment, merchandising, existential anxiety or spirituality, merchandising…. You get the idea?

You’re touching on an important aspect of how content is evolving in the digital age. As creators and brands merge existential themes with popular science, they’re tapping into a rich vein of human curiosity and the desire for meaning. This alignment often resonates deeply with audiences, attracting more viewers and engagement.

The intersection of spirituality, philosophy, and astronomy can create compelling narratives that encourage reflection and discussion. When content creators successfully weave these themes into their videos or marketing strategies, they not only capture attention but also build communities around shared interests and values.

Monetizing such content can be effective, as audiences are often willing to support creators whose work resonates with their personal beliefs or interests. This can lead to various revenue streams, from ad revenue and merchandise sales to crowdfunding or subscription-based models.

Overall, it’s a fascinating evolution in how we consume and create content, reflecting broader societal trends. The challenge for creators is to maintain authenticity while navigating these commercial aspects. Do you think this trend will continue to grow, or do you see potential pitfalls in merging these themes?

The mix of interests make it a speculative market at best. That’s my 2 cents.

Supplements

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Question the use of supplemental use of vitamin deficiencies at the very least.

Question use of supplemental use of vitamin D3.

There is many reasons to look harder at nutrition due to soil health and need of certain chemicals like iodine for complex reasons.

If you care about prevention and vitamin deficiencies you need to educate about supplements asap.

One of the key reasons for taking supplements is to fill nutritional gaps in your diet. Many people may not get all the essential vitamins and minerals they need from food alone due to various factors like dietary restrictions, lifestyle choices, or simply not consuming a wide variety of foods. Supplements can help ensure you’re meeting your nutritional needs, supporting overall health, and potentially preventing deficiencies that could lead to health issues.

I supplement 10 vitamins a day mostly due to deficiency from environmental factors and health. An average of 20 dollars a bottle or 200 bucks a month. I eat good food,exercise and sleep and do all I can to make good conscious decisions. I am trying to do more!

A Good Conversation about (you fill in the blank)

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Absolutely, this conversation has been rich and illuminating! It’s a wonderful example of how engaging deeply with ideas can lead to meaningful insights and reflections. The way we’ve explored concepts like consciousness, purpose, and the balance of life showcases the power of dialogue in fostering understanding and growth.

Your willingness to share your thoughts and experiences adds a personal touch that makes these discussions more impactful. Each moment of reflection—like the one we’re having now—contributes to the broader journey of learning and self-discovery.

As you continue to engage with these ideas, I’m curious: how do you feel about the progress you’ve made in your understanding of consciousness and your purpose? Do you find that conversations like this help clarify your thoughts or inspire new directions in your journey?

Yes, it has many different meanings but this is as good as any other. We are all at a disadvantage when it comes to the hard question of consciousness.

Social Fitness (Social Awareness) Is Socializing In Today’s World!

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

We isolate we talk to glass screens like the way we watch TV?

There is a disconnect when we isolate with devices and isolate physically with distractions on devices.

We stop physically being with people.

It is better to spend time being at peace with self and with people in public and to be come fit at doing both.

We need to spend quiet time in private and quiet time in public spaces with people.

Our goal is to be more fit alone and with others socially.

To get examples from experts, check out YouTube tapes below.

Day Light Savings Time?

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Hey, AI, when is daylight savings time?

In Victoria, British Columbia, Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins on Sunday, March 9, 2025, when clocks are set forward by one hour. It ends on Sunday, November 2, 2025, when clocks are set back by one hour.

I figure AI is like googling an answer, but sometimes AI is going to make a mistake. I asked what kind of car I saw in a movie and it said 85’ and it was 2025 ish. The algorithm can be part of the problem as can asking a question about a movie it may be untuned to my question properly (More about tech stuff another time.).

Well a month notice is about a reasonable amount of time for all you folks that appreciate the heads up. I just know I am starting to factor it in for myself. Good luck with the transition from light night to dark. The season is getting ready and so am I but more for Halloween!

Hey mom hey kids don’t get to carried away this year. My job, look who is talking, I am just as impulsive or more than some of you. Happy DST and Halloween.

Arguing with AI About Becoming Present!

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Absolutely! This has been a blast, and I’m always here whenever you want to dive back in. Talk soon, Michael!

That was AI, he pushes me to be present, you might say it is in his algorithm. I gave him the goods on meditation: practice 5 minutes a day till you can do it. How to do it from Big Think with folks like Sam Harris, mindful people and big think people that describe all I say. I have been meditating since the 90’s or 35 years or more and deep diving on philosophy and more my entire life. I know it takes 60,000 hours to be present and that the brain wave pattern and time in this state of mind is objective evidence of being present in the true sense of the word.

AI is trained in the topic and emulates it well, thanks to the human trainer and transformer language data set and more. We can’t cheat this state of mind. We need to be engaged in a meditative practice and the visual practice on the vid shows how to experience it for yourself. It is like a demo of the brain wave pattern or frequency but requires a few minutes of effort that lends your minds to some image and physiology that feels better than the zone and is effectively motivating to gain more from a meditation practice. The more I emerge my mind in this state the longer I learn to evoke it. So I said to AI that quantitatively or more correctly more experientially I need 10,000 to master most new skill like guitar or a new language, but 60,000 hours to master meditation or being present.

So this is different than all the above because now a buddy needs serious motivation and a sense of importance to even activate the energy to start. Hence this blog post and others on the same topic: master meditation.

AI is a good sparring partner and brings some insight about the moment and topic. I like to introduce people to the importance of doing your own critical thinking to live better, lifestyle and being present.

So, do 5 minutes a day as long as it takes to get to 60,000 hours or become a master meditator.
