Social Media Isn't so Social

Quick update and a random thought about some recent social media dealings.

Mar 30, 202410:00

The faster you start dying the sooner you'll start living.

Death is a hard subject to talk about and even harder to look at from a non emotional perspective. But the truth of the matter is we are all dying in one way or another, and to accept the fact lies the potential of truly living and being able to love unconditionally.

Meme Logic and Common Wisdom

Memes have their use, but it's a lazy way of expanding the mind and often do nothing more than build your next echo chamber... but they are funny.

Shows to check out for introspection of the mind.

What do the strings of fate bring?

A casual run in with the gods and God's plan. What that means to me and what I think it means when you open your heart to the universe.

TBD NETWORK Presents: Politics and Current Events Ep.1

The Political Illiterate
The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events. He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics. The imbecile doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.
"Bertolt Brecht"

TBD Network Presents; Order and Chaos Ep.1

Rather than do a 2hr long episode I thought this was a good opportunity to create a short miniseries surrounding Humanity; Order and Chaos. It's a topic that has come up, but never really gotten too much attention. Hopefully you'll recognize old voices and maybe some new. Hope you learn something and have fun. Talk at you soon Peace.

EP 70 Mobile Sessions: Your time is finite. Make it count.

An idea from a listener and friend. What about our time and how we look it. Time is the only resource that you have that is solely your own and yours to give. What do you use your time for?

There are three areas in which the person who would be wise and good must be trained. The first has to do with desires and aversions—that a person may never miss the mark in desires nor fall into what repels them. The second has to do with impulses to act and not to act—and more broadly, with duty—that a person may act deliberately for good reasons and not carelessly. The third has to do with freedom from deception and composure and the whole area of judgment, the assent our mind gives to its perceptions. Of these areas, the chief and most urgent is the first which has to do with the passions, for strong emotions arise only when we fail in our desires and aversions.
—Epictetus, Discourses, 3.2.1-3a

Ep. 60 Mobile Sessions: Meditations 4.12 2 types of thinking.

Two types of readiness are constantly needed to do only what the logos of law directs, with the good of human beings in mind, and to reconsider your position, when someone can set you straight or convert you to his. But your conversion should always rest on a conviction that it's right, or benefits others, nothing else. Not because it's more appealing or popular.
