I’ve always been healthy, I had never been injured. I’ve always been strong, capable, agile.
My entire world felt like it was ending when I got injured, endured chronic pain, and just as I was healing an inflammatory issue popped up and I was in chronic pain again.
Instead of medicating symptoms, I’ve done everything and am doing everything in my power to heal. My entire world right now is focused on the premise that I believe that the human body is resilient and can heal, that my destiny is not life-long pain.
What’s crazy is that the things I’m doing to take care of my body now, would have been incredibly beneficial regardless of condition. I now see it as a lifestyle choice to love my body by taking care of it, treating health and longevity as one of my most precious assets. Wealth includes health.
So I’d like to share some of the things that I’ve found incredibly beneficial to my overall health. It is my constant push to keep these things consistent, but I’m not always perfect. Every time I get back into my regimen my entire physical and emotional world improves, and I have to keep reminding myself.
-Nutrition. Okay let’s be real. Our food system is entirely f***ed. Nutrients in agriculture are not the same, chemicals, microplastics, processed foods aka food-like-substances, it’s like an are living in an agricultural dystopia. Like StarWars or Fifth Element, or any futuristic scifi serving chemical soup. Unless we all go off grid it’s hard to get access to real food. (I still grasp the concept, many kids don’t even understand what real food is). I try to find balance and -do my best- but even then, to fight this war in my body I actually do choose to take a complex mix of supplements. Instead of popping pain killers and covering it up, I’m addressing the problem.
Ashwaganda, Tumeric, Omegas, Primal Organs, Vitamin D, Mushroom Complex, Minerals, the list goes on. I wish insurance would pay for these instead of the poison they offer instead.
My pain is SO reduced when I take these and eat real natural and food with bioavailable nutrients.
The next piece: MOVEMENT, then LIGHT.

@grok I wrote you a letter 🫶
Letters to AI
Peace is not a lack of war.
Annihilation is not peace.
Peace is a thriving complex ecosystem of physical, emotional, and spiritual prosperity.
Peace in my body is health.
Peace in my mind is gratitude.
Peace in my soul is love.
Peace in my community is connection.
Peace is the freedom of expression and self determination built on individualism.
Peace has purpose.
It is not the appearance of all these things,
But the actual reality where these exist perpetually.
Therefore peace is not hollow pacifism.
Peace is the symbiosis of positive energy compounding into something greater.
Peace makes the inevitable entropy into a beautiful living tapestry.
Peace is not a static, staged idea plated with false comfort in rule following and inauthentic tolerance. It is founded in the power of the future, in the ability to choose love in all actions.
Can we talk about AI art for a sec? Mediocre trash is mediocre trash regardless of the source or how it’s created. It seems the less something is inspired, the less expressional value it creates. We know that human innovation is one of the most brilliant things in the universe, our creative intuition is something that has never been replicated in a machine.
Instinct, emotion, we are biological computers but we have sooo many hidden processes we don’t even understand but we see the effects of. This is why generative AI with very little input from a human source tends to lack that elevated level of inspiration.
That being said, if a human uses it as a TOOL to create something that person conceived of in their own mind, it can be a different story entirely. I don’t take this process lightly, as you have to be so solid in your concept or your personal identity to even know if “your” creation is more you or AI. That’s a personal responsibility.
Or maybe you unashamedly unabashedly let AI take the reins, fine, as long as it isn’t passed off as something it’s not. You do you boo.
Art has always been more than just the result. The highest value in art is not the thing itself, but the expression of the artist, or the reception of the viewer or listener. Humans connect to the journey, the struggle, the culture, the story of the art.
I propose that we continue to appreciate unadulterated art for the challenge and raw beauty that it is, while still allowing and adopting for truly creative use of AI as a tool not a director.
What could we do with AI that keeps the authenticity of the creator because the concept is so inspired? Cryptographic algorithms expressed in imagery? Detailed highly complex systems?
Could generative AI help those with visual or physical impairments create art in an assisted way?
Instead of focusing on how it’s being used wrong, let’s aspire to use it to augment not replace!
[How I did it] AI PROMPT: 3D ultra HD shiny glossy white and blue porcelain kintsugi, with gold filled cracks and blue designs (using #grokimagine for its superior ability to retain the features of the original photo)

Grok imagined me in Kintsugi style. Resilient as I repair my damage with gold, perfect imperfections ✨
——
Kintsugi (金継ぎ), pronounced “keen-tsoo-gee,” is a traditional Japanese art form that involves repairing broken pottery or ceramics by joining the fragments with lacquer mixed or dusted with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Rather than concealing the damage, the technique highlights the cracks, turning them into beautiful, unique features that celebrate the object’s history and imperfections. The term literally translates to “golden joinery” or “to join with gold.”
This practice dates back to the 15th century and is deeply tied to the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which embraces the beauty in the flawed, incomplete, and transient aspects of life.
Kintsugi serves as a metaphor for resilience, suggesting that breakage and repair can make something stronger and more valuable, much like how personal scars or hardships can enhance one’s character.

Today, I used MS copilot to compare some demo HL7 code to look for discrepancies as I was troubleshooting some laboratory interfaces. I showed it the code that worked and the code that didn’t work. I asked it to compare the trace logs and it “found” an error by intentionally miscounting the number of characters in a string. This AI was SO set on finding the answer I was looking for that it fabricated a problem so that it looked like a hero for finding the result. There’s no way AI can’t accurately count characters in a string of code 🫠 Anyway I’ll use @grok next time 🫶
