Bots Versus People On Twitter?<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n
\n

Who gives a shit? Especially if you know for sure that you can build an audience?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Obviously, nobody wants to feel like their numbers have been goosed. I get that.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But I also know that my core audience are people who DM me, and respond when I DM them – <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I try to share ideas with and for the people who are really engaging with what I create. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And I know I\u2019ll find enough of those people to sustain what I\u2019m doing.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I really think of myself as someone with a core audience of maybe 25 people – and hopefully they read what I write, they care about it, and I write more and more about it as time passes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>Create The World Around You <\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n
\n

Happy holidays, everybody. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

People think of themselves as creative, but creating isn’t about sitting with a typewriter.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Like, how are you creative and your life sucks? <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

it’s something you’re actively doing, in every breath and moment. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

You\u2019re also driving like that through TIME and LIFE. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Your time and your focused intentions are like a craft that drives you wherever you tell it to go<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Your hobbies, your thoughts, your actions, even your food.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>The Chess Masters<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n
\n

On vacation in North Carolina and being a good guest feels like a full time job. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I’m having a lot of conversations about chess.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, you probably know that there are robots that are better at chess than most people.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

AI have \u201cmastered\u201d chess. Deep Blue beat Kasparov. Every move can be broken down\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

ID-tagged soldiers carry ID-tagged weapons, use ID-tagged gear. Nano-machines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control, information control, emotion control… battlefield control. Everything is monitored and kept under control. War – has changed.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now when you think about that, you MIGHT think of a terminator scenario, something really dystopian.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But realistically – chess being mastered by AI hasn’t made the game pointless. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Puzzles and Training<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Did you know they’ve got chess apps with puzzles now?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And these puzzles might tell you to mate in a move, or two moves, or three moves. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Getting these live situations with customer training is way more powerful than just reading a book on chess theory. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A More Precise Game<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It’s really mind-blowing the sheet amount of information you can take in after a game – each piece has its own point value.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And there’s also point differential and values on each play. So a play can be great or suboptimal or a disaster.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We think of cheese being \u201cbeaten\u201d when we say solved, but the entirely of this game exists inside the mind of the computer, like Orwell\u2019s 1984.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And it can help you.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, you can actually chart the levels of improvement you’re making in the game, how you do against different play styles and gambits and stuff?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I really hope that whenever we \u201cmaster\u201d the questions of sustainable human good, we can start with actually fixing the human condition – like you know, human suffering and death and shit like that.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>Power Versus Force<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n
\n

In terms of the math, negative beliefs are energy killers. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It doesn’t always have the same mental sting of just telling yourself that youre no good –<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But it slowly makes a big impact. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Not just on your physical energy (obvious),<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But your mental and emotional energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now, these things aren\u2019t just a feeling of vibrations – you know – your vibes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They\u2019re the actual energy that comes with your thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Check a look at this graph inspired by David Hawkins\u2019 book Power vs Force.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"image\"<\/div>\n
\n

And I want to stress that you should think of these ideas as metaphors <\/em>– please don\u2019t start the \u201cyeah but\u201d game with me in the comments. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s not just the extremes that will leave you in a negative place.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And – I don’t mean the kind of negative beliefs where you fall into a depressive funk.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I mean the kind of negative beliefs that keep people stagnant.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Instead of calling, emailing, waking up early – you’re procrastinating, you’re Huluing, you’re doing little \u201chamster wheel\u201d type tasks for yourself or others. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As a result, you won\u2019t get to enjoy the life of unlimited freedom, fulfillment and purpose that you want.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>Five Ways People Try (And Fail) To Chase Certainty.<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n
\n

If there\u2019s a way to find absolute certainty in life, I haven\u2019t found it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Finding more \u201cfreedom\u201d in life isn\u2019t everything.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There\u2019s always something new to chase. I know so many people who have made millions of dollars and are completely miserable. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They haven’t found personal peace and freedom and they’re struggling with finding their personal purpose. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Certainty doesn’t exist. I’ve had ups and downs I couldn’t possibly anticipate. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But I think quality inner life is all about being able to face uncertainty. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
