The “powerful” only have power if you cede it to them.Many will do that, giving up their own #life

Humans love to experience/watch/read/listen to something and extract that which they want to believe/promote. Confirmation-bias is a thing #life #failure

The “boardroom” isn’t named that because of the white or chalkboard in the room. #etymology #writing

Hold those to account whenever they say, “I guarantee…” It’s a life-certainty in their mind, and is not a probabilistic estimation. You should find out what they will do when it doesn’t come to pass and hold them to it. You need to teach them not to guarantee things they can’t control. #life

Kindness, morality, and compassion are not the invention/creation of god. If they were, you would be. #life

Way back when, we had gods of nature and existence. Then, we had gods of compassion. Now, we have gods of money and perceived power and celebrity. We create the gods that benefit control. #life #religion

“When you grow a pair, you’ll have two.” #throwawayline

Things you don’t understand are not things you should revere or to which you should pray. Your weakness/stupidity is their power. #life

It’s one of those days when you fight the flow.

The belief of certainty kills. — ancient proverb I just made up

“What do you do when all of your time is spent arguing with an AI?” #writing #ai

“The king has no clothes.” “The king has no mind.” “No one cares.” #writing

“The developers of AI want to replace themselves, but delude themselves in believing they can control what they create. Money will do that.” #writing

“At some point, you realize you’re the only reality there is, and all you are doing is talking to yourself.” #writing

Don’t go through the motions. You look spastic. #life

Overheard: “In twenty years, there will be no jobs that aren’t tech.” Obviously, someone who knows little about life and tech and treats “tech” as a religion. #character #life

Blocking “senders” is useless when they use disposable email addresses to spam. Apple needs to do something about this. Mail is useless. #apple #spam #mail #failure

Why do I have to block each individual email/sender? Why can’t a block a multi-select at a minimum or a full domain instead? Oh, right Apple wants you to have spam… #apple #email #spam #failure #ios #ipados

Good morning. Try to go through the day without reacting instinctively. Be deliberate for once. Time for the ceremonial coffee.
