The personal philosophy of containment: a podcast.

I’ve been busy watching this episode of Tim Robbins and Joe Rogan. Talk about a critic for a podcast a movie or any other kind of media that’s in society today. AI is telling me to use a geometric framework for this particular podcast so I am.

But I’d go so far as to say that AI is a little off track here and I would describe this podcast as being a description like my own because my demographic fits right into theirs. You know there’s an age range here that I’m talking about that you could figure out and there’s also some interesting topics along with AI. The other topics I mentioned that come up on the podcast is some you know some stuff that relates to creativity and a little bit of stuff that is outside of the box you know like when we get into details of other topics that I found of interest as well, but by far the most interesting topic for me was the fact that these two gentlemen and myself have something in common and I think the audience has a lot more in common with these things as they realize what is actually being captured in a podcast like this one it’s about the same length of format as a movie 2 1/2 hours and I break it up into 15 minute frames just because I can digest that a little bit betterbut that doesn’t mean that the audience can’t pick their own frame rate I mean, many of them would probably sit through the entire podcast with no problem whatsoever, and there are quite a few that would only watch bits and pieces of it. I’m sure but the majority of us we get the gist of it and realize that it was well worth our time and effort to watch it and that’s all I’m trying to describe.

So I may be modern and equivalent of a critic for something like this, but I’m also fit in that same demographic as the people that are on the podcast themselves and I just enjoy being a modern critic to describe this for you in the moment it doesn’t do any harm and it certainly peaks people’s curiosities about these kind of longform formats with you know, personalities host, and a guest that transform the information to something that you may not have heard like this in quite a while and in a unique way that demonstrate that it’s entertaining and worth your observation I hope you enjoy the podcast and please make some comments on the site to let Joe Rogan and the people that read your comments. Have a little feedback. Text you soon. 

The Personal Philosophy Practice

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

What is the idea? Is it a way to get to know a better self by loosing bad habits and finding new ones?

Who is selling it and why? There is self care and personal medicine and a way to deal with self help.

People can learn it and practice it for themself or learn it from a philosophical councillor and maybe get it through some research and pick ing it up through self care or all the above. You need to ask for help sometimes.

Doctors try to use “do no harm”, as do may people and we try other kinds of good habits why not as a personal philosophy? Do no harm with self care and you start an entry level personal philosophy right there.

Meditation is a practice that practices philosophy through good intention and awareness , relaxation , meditation and visualization. It is also a way into a personal philosophy

As is any religion and sometimes we find it in the gym and through better living practices.

If a person joins any of these groups through school there is a lot more information and there is even more on the internet.

So why listen to an arrival of something in plain sight? It is abstract and new in the sense that stoicism became popular. Which is still kind of new.

Mental health is a curious way to look at personal philosophy practice. Something like Behaviour Therapy or B. F. Skinner with Walden Two. He kind a wrote a book about it and history records the genesis of it like philosophy or religion. Citywide use seems to still practice community this way.

Fancy ideas like freedom:: accountability and responsibility. And good habits, bad habits and virtues or vices are a similar pathway to a personal philosophical practice and teachers can help with it.

I think living better and more often is the critical thinking habit that makes the practice take hold and blossom into a life long habit.

I like compassionate nonviolence and the abstract idea but get a lot more out of an actual practice.

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.

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.
