my guess is we see economic re-indexing with emotional labor, presence, charisma, and aesthetic taste becoming core capital as well as more rigor / slow-thinking / stoicism as reaction and those top players integrating both polarities

i guess the risks of vibes based coordinations are real, like emotional manipulation at planetary scale but the upside is also great: distributed coherence without centralized authority

"post-truth" and "fake news" were actually marking phase transition from epistemic to affective i guess cognition maxxed out its bandwidth and evolution started switching from mental to emotional processing now, vibes are becoming emergent coordination layer

politics is deeply into 'emotional texture trumps policy details' territory even coding, once requiring precision and rigor, started running on vibes. AI is more attuned to our vibe than to real world facts.

I have a mental illness that makes me think that people will change their minds if I present the correct arguments with the appropriate facts and data.

this has also been running in background, i afraid to report it works
@ceres050 I have a mundane work task to do. I sense into the structure and solidity that task provides a framework for. I relax into that sense of structure of solidity. Exhaling, I release my body into surrender to the task (as opposed to tensing it into readiness) and let the momentum

published my first post on substack. it took ages. here’s what did the trick: - dumped 15 topics I’d love to discuss and connect with folks over - gave myself one hour (!) to publish something turned out all of those 15 topics felt too big, so came up the 16th, done in 65min

The skill is a regulated nervous system that can hold uncertainty Which is the biggest alpha of all
Some sources of alpha that require no real skill: - having longer time horizons than others - being much more focused or much more bundled - believing the consensus thing harder than others - placing no value on status

curiosity that doesn't cooperate and unlearn is like reorganizing the room without cleaning it up

Types of insanity: — You're insane, and don't now it — You're insane, but you do know it That's it. Those are the types.

there’s a self-improvement where we do the work on ourselves as a Project. self is split as both object and subject there’s also a self-“improvement” where the qualities of our attention and intention lead to our self naturally unfolding on its own. self as in “by itself”
Ironically the more I’ve accepted myself, the less I’ve treated myself as a Project, and the more I’ve ditched the idea that I’m “not good enough yet,” the more I’ve been excited to face my fears and self-improve

and I say “shit” with all the love and gratefulness to be able to witness, hold, unburden and reparent those exhiles but boy, some of these energies have been waiting to be released and composted for quite a long time

got surprised by waves of inadequacy and worthlessness took me some time to realize it’s a result of dropping into deeper embodiment this shit has been here all along, floating just below the surface
