Finished with Step 1: the "vomit" draft. I got all the stuff out of my head and onto the page in an order that makes sense: 43,259 words.
It'll be fun to eventually learn were all it goes from here 😁
I'm writing a book about the Telos Project. This is my word count so far.

I have noticed that when it comes to #ZenKoans, they are either “brilliant”, or “written by fools” depending exclusively on whether I understand them 😁 I’m sure you’ll agree with me that it’s is firmly in the first category. Thoughts?
I wonder if the #pretzel got its shape when a non-religious baker of breadsticks tried to relate, visually to their coworker, the concept they just heard of called #karma.
In a world where no one is using their minds to their full extent, no one is fulfilling their Telos.
It’s not our fault, we just haven’t gotten there yet. But I believe we will!
#TelosProject
Telos is an ancient Greek word that doesn’t have a direct English translation. It means that a thing is fulling it purpose.
A rope used to hoist something is fulfilling its purpose, its Telos. But that same rope lying in a clump on the floor propping open a door is not.
Reason and rational thinking is just part of what our minds are for, and deep down inside we know that we are capable of doing, and being, more. This knowledge is the birthplace of ego.
Ego is basically us acknowledging that we suck... but we’re not as bad as that guy.
