Scaling transformative educational experiences that help people meaningfully acclimate to AI and technology

so facts. the ceo of my last company used the word “partners” instead of “employees” and to the people that wanted to buy in to the culture it certainly had an ennobling and empowering effect
I think nomenclature in marketing matters so much - a restaurant calling customers “guests” becomes more hospitable. A therapist calling patients “clients” makes their service feel more empowering. “Members” makes people feel part of a group instead of just a headcount. So on

unfortunately (and also ofc) spiritual gifts too are vulnerable to being subsumed by non spiritual values, structures, and aims. esp when your ego is a great capitalist lmao

I did in fact have a trippy dream after reading about the next stage where I was kind of trying on a new way of being. so it works. but, read it before bed.
curious if reading abt developmental stages helped anyone launch yourself into a next stage? I know these frameworks all have their own flaws but I imagine it could help you construct a “View” that scaffolds you as u melt into goo and reform yourself

I reflected on *what my creativity desires*, & I realized it was craving a wild expansive freedom I was not giving it. I partly filter my creative impulses through rational, productive, money-conscious, or brand-aware constraints which change what art I make,

it is very funny to notice areas in life where you are almost comically a victim. like I am so one-shotted by stains of all kinds. years ago I added a front line strategy of “tide to go” but if that fails I’m like oop wow guess there is nothing I can do here. I guess what I’m

kind of feel like a beast now that my old habits of discipline are emerging like jewels after months of sinking into deep vibing, embodiment, and just existing

ooooooooooh crapppppppp part of the lesson in asking for more of what you need from others is finding out where u will be deeply met AND where you will not

excavating and modelling one’s own interiority is its own vast project, but miniscule compared to the next adventure/endeavor of modelling that of others, esp in realtime, and ESP when needing to make good guesses abt their own unexplored interiority

honesty and clarity feel like sisters to me. born to the mother truth.
more of one can help you get more of the other, they like to play :)

after my deep & long health journey I have more health advice to give to ppl but it's mainly in the form of 100x practitioners I've met that live in very specific places
hard for me to express how much health outcomes exist on this crazy exponential

worth saying that sometimes the way to "the work" can take months
currently going through a massive mountain of non-doing and the deeper I've let myself release into it I see shining glimmers of raw desire to create/do emerge, and it has in fact yet to stabilize
took me 4 hours and then going home and crying to me wife that I was a broken man, and then a conciliatory walk and talk with her, before I had stumbled on the right prompt for the day.
but then, like magic, I had the right frame for a huuge amount of work.

if you are thinking of doing something for the first time & immediately file it as "do later" that is a GREAT TIME to pause.
what are the resources that would help do it? is there someone that could help you with it? can you just get honest and admit you're not going to do it?

You can trust your instincts better when you’re in a context of virtue
Religious communities were good at providing these, and to do it as an individual is possible, likely requires years of discipline to form wholesome inclinations and habits
But what is the in between?

desire, playfulness, and eros for the strategic homies
cunning, strategy, and focus for the leaf-in-the-wind homies

A call with a coach yday caused some interesting perspective shifts and re-valuations of various things (work, time for rest, purpose, relationships) despite me thinking abt these topics A LOT
From this I recommend: write the current “story” of your life 5 ways & sit with it
