I'm sharing my philosophy using these rules: To use all 280 characters, to improve vocabulary & to summarize using 1 #hashtag. My compendious book of aphorisms.
Wikipedia is the ultimate definition of degeneracy. It has devolved into a real-world version of Orwellian Newspeak. The living biography pages are especially disgusting & pernicious; anonymous #apparatchiks wield these wikis to destroy reputations under the guise of objectivity.
The most #adroit hackers don't work for corrupt governments or duplicitous corporations. They work for the betterment of humanity & for the advancement of self-knowledge. Mercenaries do still exist, but they lack the deep, soulful fuel that ignites those serving a higher purpose.
Environmental destruction should be viewed as the ultimate catalyst for advancement. Our immune system doesn't remain #quiescent in the face of poisons; it adapts to conquer it. We're destined to become a stronger, revitalized civilization by overcoming the very chaos we created.
If the galaxy is booming with life, it’s #quixotic to think we’d be noticed. Earth might be homeless; a sketchy alleyway the advanced civilizations lock their doors while passing. Higher life forms look at our sullen, conflict-ridden world & see something completely incorrigible.
AI bias isn't new; companies like Google have been embedding prejudices into the web for decades. Chatbots have simply stripped away the curtain & made it obvious. The greatest danger is not the existence of bias, but rather a #mendacious partiality under the guise of neutrality.
Money is more likely to rob you of power. True power comes from the #sanctum of spiritual alignment. If you worry about money, you hand over your power to it. This is not to say you should neglect your finances, but more important is to keep your soul connected to a higher power.
He said, "People are sheep." I said bro, only in modernity did it become #sacrilegious to compare us to sheep. To follow the most trodden path is the most intelligent act, the smartest survival strategy. Wisdom isn't in fleeing the herd; it's in trailblazing a new path to follow.
Don't attempt to win life; instead win every day. Don't ask God for a better hand; instead deal with the cards you've been dealt. When we live within our means & when we cultivate an attitude of gratitude, life will reward us with another serendipitous & #fortuitous winning hand.
The most enlightened people are not found in the faddish crowds; they live in obscurity, avoid popularity & die known only to a few. But we still need role models for inspiration. Even our heroes' #hamartia should be inspirational to us, as it reaffirms that we're all only human.
The flat earth movement isn't from a lack of information or credulous minds; it's from a catastrophic breach of trust in authority. All relationships die without trust. Fact checkers only amplify disaffection & society sinks into #anomie, leaving people to invent their own truth.
We're overdosing on the written word. Junkies on literature. Ancient texts didn't even have spaces. They were designed to be spoken. To read silently is a new invention. Text numbs us into #intransigence & fundamentalism. Our recovery depends on an exodus back to the spoken word.
He nodded when he stopped his car. She waved as she crossed the road. Never trivialize daily gestures; they are our greatest opportunities. Building on quiet acts of #obeisance, the evolution of our consciousness is an accretive process fueled by tiny daily displays of reverence.
She said "That woman acts childish". I said babe, tell her to be more childlike, more playful, more innocent. Doesn't tradition say we're destined to be children of God, not adults? Aging hardens our hearts with the #coalescing of betrayal, rejection, abandonment, cruelty & lies.
He said, "My past friends were toxic." I said bro, their #effluence indelibly infused itself into your identity. Measure them by your brightest memories, not by darkness inherent in us all. Forgiveness is a daily discipline; a gift to give yourself to cut the cords of resentment.
There's no shame in admitting you suffer from mental illness; we live in a mentally ill society. So take #catharsis; you're only normal to be sick in a sick world. The sickness is actually a blessing. If we are blind to symptoms, we lose our capacity to change to a healthier way.
Knowledge is comprehension or #renunciation. To comprehend takes a lifetime; but to renounce takes no time. Right here, this very moment, we can release our grip on false ideas we hold. Wisdom isn't so much about grasping new insights, as it is about letting go of the false ones.
I seek smart people for wisdom but actually there's no higher intelligence; there's only variations of different types of understanding. Likewise, there are no ugly people; there's only varying degrees of the perception of beauty. All life is #biocentric, intelligent & beautiful.
My ideas come with no strings attached, no restrictions, no copyright, no credit. Go ahead, claim them as your own. Make money. Just don't let money ruin you. Accept it, correct it, mock it; but how can you steal from a #magnanimous mind that sees this world as endless abundance?
All of us lead & all of us follow. The trick to good leadership is knowing when we wrongly mislead. Good leaders know people will follow them, even if told to stay away! The trick to good followership is recognizing that we need leaders, that #solidarity is our greatest strength.
Despite the obesity crisis, we die of starvation. We die not from hunger, but from the #inanition of opulence. It's true when the Bible declares that man shall not live on bread alone. It kills both our bodies & our souls if we fail to actively digest truth as a daily discipline.
