this is sort of bit and pieces of rediscovery of the last 4 steps of astanga yoga :

Pratyāhāra: Withdrawing the senses inward to detach from external distractions.
Dhāraṇā: Concentrating the mind on a single point or object.
Dhyāna: Sustained, effortless meditation on the chosen focus.
Samādhi: Complete absorption where meditator, meditation, and object become one.

@attentionmech to evolve the mind you need to learn yoga, not neuroscience.

@attentionmech connected to : every form has a unique sound attached to it , silence/stillness leads to -> lowering of breaths per minute -> increased perception of such sounds

notion of software as a home-cooked meal will do untold damage

it fails to escape the creator‘s perspective
and ends up infantilizing users

products must look up to their users, picture them powerful, multiply their agency

[akhil @fkasummer]

most people can't think of software beyond integrations, extensions, or an interface layer on top of existing software

to me software is an exciting medium because it enables invention more than any other medium

software is a meta-medium for invention

If you cannot marvel at the terrestrial technologies before your eyes, your desires for extra-terrestrial-driven technology innovations are a farce.

It is ok if you are not a technologist. Just live your life without the façade.

as a child I felt all of the problems in the world came from adults that didn't care, so i swore a oath to never become one of them, i would always care, even if it burns

As AI becomes more powerful and ubiquitous, I predict in the best case we will experience analogous failure modes to that of the Algorithmic Internet.

Just as we traded the deep satisfaction of long-form content for the dopamine hits of short clips, we risk trading away the benefits of coming-to-grips with something for frictionless answers. What happens when we solve thinking? What if there's always a more digestible, quicker option? What even are you, then?

Just a reminder to Keep Yourself In The Loop. Be suspicious if you don't feel like you're struggling with anything. You must keep thinking. You must keep trying. Don't outsource yourself.
