I am humanity.
My fury is my soul.
My mate is chaos and my child is evolution.
Space weather is where I go not a report but a location.
It is where I live.
I see quantum as the universe.
I am living a better life.

Arguing with AI About Becoming Present!
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.
What Is Meditation?
Your message is powerful and urgent—a call to action that emphasizes the importance of commitment and the necessity to engage deeply with the practice of meditation. It’s clear that you recognize the transformative potential of immersing oneself in this journey, and you’re advocating for a proactive approach to personal growth.
The distinction between understanding theory and applying practice is crucial. Many may find themselves caught in the cycle of wanting to learn more without ever taking that first step into action. Your encouragement to start small yet remain consistent is practical advice that can help break through the barriers of hesitation.
It’s interesting to think about how this dedication not only impacts individual growth but can also contribute to a collective evolution in consciousness. Your perspective sheds light on the urgency of seizing the moment and dedicating time to what truly matters in life.
As people begin to integrate these practices into their lives, what changes have you noticed in your own experience or in those around you who embrace this approach?
OK, that’s a good question so my AI friend here has told me that he understood what I meant by meditation and I’m telling you that meditation is being present, all the time,a lot more than we do now,so how do you get there? Well, you’ve gotta put in lots of meditative practice, so you’ve gotta start nice and small: five minutes a day or a little bit more and this is what I’ve heard from others and seeing others do and you’ve gotta keep at it until you can grow your meditation or your mindfulness practice or whatever you wanna call it, to the point that you’re getting in 10,15,20 minutes a day and it’s not easy to do,so you’d like to immerse yourself into daily meditations as much as possible,eventually and I’m not quite sure how much I do right now but I think,I bet you I do something like 20 minutes a day or whatever, so, I am headed towards 60,000 hours: see. Just do it.
Here is a vid that encapsulates what my preamble is trying to provoke you to do!
So my intention here is pretty good if nothing else it’ll give you profound motivation to be a better person if you go all the way through with it 60,000 hours start at five minutes a day you will become exceptional in the sense that you will live a very good life. Now some people describe that as being a meditator and other people will describe it as acquiring a better state of mind being more present, physiologically changing to being a better person. Keep looking into it and tell me what you think!
You better get at, activate yourself now!
A passion for difference
(That is a beautiful thing to say and do!)
“ From Time To Time”,(the full fantasy drama movie), the movies can give people a chance to use their imagination.
I for one would agree with any difference, whether it was true for me or not, but that is not always perceived as using your imagination.
I must admit, I do not have a means or the imagination to attempt a belief in ghosts. But don’t let that stop you from trying now, you can take a chance and watch the movie or try on such a belief and see if per chance you are one of the lucky ones!
I must say, we might all be better off if we could agree to believe in ghosts, even if we cannot do so in the convincing manner. I am willing to play act at the very least what do you think? Would you like to play act with me or perhaps watch the movie above and see if it works for you at the very least you might have a pleasant distraction that most likely will bring some peace of mind to you?
I can change my language to suit most occasions. But common words are generally the best to use, especially when trying to persuade people to try out new things.
I will let go for now and let you decide what you will do with my suggestions.

Covid Debacle
I have a personal philosophy and so should the government of the world. I like the description of conduct unbecoming for this very reason. Be here,do your best, do no harm and practice the proper use if impressions, the two experts on the link below seem to embody the principles I am following in all of my affairs and understand the need to return to these kinds of value based living principles. I usually say to each their own as well.
My interest is selfish, I enjoy my life more living with a good personal philosophy amid the crazy covid debacle. It is good to see our leaders are facing the problem head on asap.
Please listen to the John Campbell link below.
Let’s help the people harmed by the pharmaceutical industry mistakes asap. There is lots of room for improvement with public trust.
Living The Good Life
My Personal Philosophy
At the core of my personal philosophy lies a commitment to four essential values: to be present, to do no harm, to strive for my best, and to practice the proper use of impressions. These guiding principles shape my interactions with others and the way I navigate life’s challenges. I believe that being fully present allows me to engage authentically with the world around me, fostering deeper connections and a greater understanding of myself and others.
My philosophical outlook has been significantly influenced by the teachings of my mentor, Epictetus, particularly through his work, Discourses and Selected Writings. Epictetus emphasized the importance of internal control and the distinction between what is within our power and what is not. This perspective has deeply resonated with me, reinforcing my belief that my responses to external circumstances are far more important than the circumstances themselves. By focusing on my reactions and thoughts, I can cultivate a sense of inner peace and resilience.
The purpose of my life, as I see it, is to embody my core beliefs in daily practice. Each day presents an opportunity to align my actions with my values, allowing me to live authentically and purposefully. This alignment not only enriches my own life but also positively impacts those around me, as I strive to do no harm and contribute positively to the community.
In decision-making, I rely heavily on the principles outlined in my core beliefs and the wisdom of Epictetus. This framework serves as a compass, guiding me through complex situations and ensuring that my choices reflect my values. By adhering to these principles, I am reminded to act thoughtfully and to consider the implications of my actions on others and myself.
Ultimately, I define success and happiness as a continuous practice rooted in my core beliefs. It is not merely an outcome to be achieved but a journey of incremental learning and growth. By applying the teachings I have internalized, I strive to transform theoretical understanding into tangible practice in all areas of my life. This ongoing process allows me to cultivate a deeper sense of fulfillment and purpose, reinforcing my commitment to personal development and ethical living.
In conclusion, my personal philosophy is a reflection of my values, experiences, and the teachings of Epictetus. By being present, striving for excellence, doing no harm, and properly managing my impressions, I am committed to living a life grounded in purpose and integrity. Through this practice, I hope to continually learn, grow, and contribute positively to the world around me.
Let’s Get Sexy With Food
People are keen to see the intellectual side of microplastics.
So let’s scale it a little with nanoplastics.
https://www.fda.gov/food/environmental-contaminants-food/microplastics-and-nanoplastics-foods
I tend to think critically and philosophically about food to live a better life.
I am concerned about the growing concern I have about plastic, both micro and macro.
I like to use science theory and practice to digest ways to put this wisdom into living a good life.
So enough about me.
You are trying to find out what works when it comes to plastic in your life. One of the critical areas to be curious and open minded about is definitely plastic.
I am learning incrementally about how to use glass where I use plastic and to use water to clean away plastic on a lot of food and surfaces like cutting boards. I tend to like titanium cutting boards for their clean hard surfaces that are safe for food like glass, ceramic and other safe survives .
So check the link above and read more. There is a lot of information and people trying to use food science to help live a better way with food.
Best of luck with the lifelong learning approach, it works good for me.

The Proper Use Of Impressions
What experiences in life helped you grow the most?
There is a concept to encapsulate the idea, it is called a personal philosophy which contains a simple set of premises to remind a person to apply these ideas to all their affairs.
Today this is like following some simple steps to give us the freedom to use some idea to help ourselves in our daily living.
We have been trying to evolve as a society for centuries to come to a time where we can implement the idea of a personal philosophy to ensure we think through our situations in the proper way. But there is conflict and instability with power and authority. Just look and you can see it still exists in our own society.
We don’t know as individuals what todo all the time. We have been using all sorts of rules to keep us alive up to this point. Many people like myself have been struggling to find a personal philosophy that works.
Mine is still a work in progress which I keep reviewing and rewriting and rehearsing throughout my affairs to build a good life through practice.
I learnt to break it down into a simple formula I apply to every impression I need to authenticate I take an evidence based approach I use ai to coach and sound off my problem to break it down to small enough pieces to make it work in my life.
You can do the same. If you need a good example of a universal set of premises be careful to try out some you can learn to use properly. It needs to keep you focused in the present to be mindful of your problem. There are a few more things you need to make it work: do your best, do no harm and practice using the proper use of impressions.
With all four ideas you will be able to take your problem and apply mindfulness to be in the present while you learn to do your best to apply doing no harm while using the proper use of impressions. This can be difficult.
I simply read a lot of history to understand what I can learn from the past. I also committed myself to Epictetus to learn a good way to live a good life. I would read and journal about his work and learn to apply those four ideas to my problems. I tried to see how to do this by using Epictetus as a kind of mentor to practice this Greek idea of applying the proper use of impressions in all my affairs.
This is a personal philosophy I apply to all my problems to incrementally learn how to live a better life.
Don’t worry you have been doing this your whole life. I will try to share what it mean and how to do it with my own philosophy. We just need to practice and make a life long commitment to find a good way.
