Hi everyone. With the marking of a new year comes an opportunity to hit the pause button from the hustle & bustle of it all & reflect more deeply on what we find meaningful. From those we've lost along the way to those we keep close to those we have yet to meet, places we have yet to see, & experiences yet to be lived, I'm grateful to be here with all of you & share in the mystery of the cosmos. As dark as the world can get sometimes, there's also the light we find within ourselves & each other & I'm thankful for that. I wish all of you health, hearth, & prosperity.
Here’s a new song I’ve been working on to kick off 2025. Salut to a new year!

@AdamMGrant Not saying it’s right necessarily, but the human mind is fascinated by extending its schema of the world and social media, for good or ill, does that rather efficiently. An endless stream of consciousness that doesn’t ever really turn off. Breadth over depth…

And it may take multiple generations before these folks figure out their own contradictions and hypocrisies (i.e., their emic birth of “science”). For now, seems they’re still forming belief-bonding practices centered on their DEI gods of justice in the name of their objective identity, rather than by integrating emic and etic perspectives that uphold the authenticity of the latter when all is said and done.
@elonmusk At this point the polarity is too strong & neither side can afford to give an inch. Insert a third option to offset the power differential & we'll see a shift in the right direction. Nothing is guaranteed but too few have too much and folks at the bottom are getting crushed.
Being rational doesn’t mean simply being intelligent or logical—it means the capacity to reflectively become aware of self deception and systemically intervene it
You use your intelligence to systemically (on many levels) overcome self deception
Now you want to coordinate all of the rationalities (so that they don't conflict) and they instead are coherent and afford each other
So you get a rationally self transcending field of rationalities
That long phrase can be replaced with:

Family deserves a pass. They openly denied the main allegation against them that they received money to buy a new house and other big ticket items. All I hear is a family still in shock with how to move forward. Nevermind national attention brought to their doorsteps but also having to process what their son did and hoping the courts spare his life. This is a tragedy for us all.
@JDHaltigan All Douglas had to say was that there's a responsibility to have experts in the room when a platform reaches a critical mass of viewership and influence. I didn't hear that in this clip.
