It’s funny how we change over time. Acquire new experiences and you interpret things differently. You become better, more nuanced. We start out relatively simple. When I was a kid I remember being afraid of all the complexity of the desktop computer. How on Earth can I know what wire goes where? Long gone are … [Read more…]
The world really is fascinating, no matter humanity’s end. Imagine we wipe ourselves out in the future. Is your life still meaningful? I think a meaningful life comes from combining four fundamentals. The terms may vary but the four aspects of life are the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. Focus on all four at once … [Read more…]
The following is a conjecture of humanity’s possible long-term future. Fundamentally I think the reason to live is to love and have fun. That seems the driving force behind human motivation. We run from the scary, but that’s not a creative urge. That’s an animal fear. Our humanness strives to invent fun and reduce boredom. … [Read more…]
It seems to me that human progress is slowed by the speed that laws keep up. New technologies permit new frontiers. The laws stay old-fashioned. Our progress is not halted by any one thing. Many diverse issues concern people. Once they work to get laws passed, we become mired in the past. Look at the … [Read more…]
I don’t understand default hostility to others. We can all help each other. When you fight another you are fighting yourself. That bad attitude puts you down a derisive path.

Do you lock yourself in an artificial environment? I think we must step back and realize what is true and human. Modern life is not all that man can be. I don’t think civilization must return to nature. I think we must consider nature. The role of the environment should be to enhance you. One … [Read more…]
(Fortunate ty11.10.30d7s) Why do happiness cycles sometimes seem so short-lived? I ponder my situation, how I feel trapped by my own greed, comfort, laziness. That upsets me even more, as if I don’t have control over even the basic things. I know I do; I’m just afraid, afraid of success, of getting tied down and … [Read more…]
Think about the cold and how it reduces action. It simplifies what to do. Think about how being cold impacts how you feel. You shiver and don’t want to move. Neither do you want to create. Your environment impacts how you feel and work. It changes the nature of the game. Set yourself up for … [Read more…]
I’m sorry if I upset you. I’ve thought about it. I don’t feel there is a reason to believe in a soul. Our wonderful and amazing universe is awesome. Does it need another plane to make it more incredible? Couldn’t that reduce our ability to appreciate the explainable? We are our physical bodies. We are … [Read more…]
