I am so delighted to be working with Winslow and our team on this new project!
2) Consciousness is what we are. It's a shame that the most potent techniques for developing our consciousness are squirreled away in esoteric traditions that are neither scientifically validated nor legible to mainstream modern culture. Such techniques should be made broadly

Factory farming is a blight. The practices of industrialized animal farming are aesthetically and morally revolting. These practices can be phased out. Read the new article by @Liv_Boeree (link below):

one of the many great examples of how something seemingly frivolous (an industry focused on “make car go fast”) led to lives being saved once you really internalize the implications of this, you never dismiss anything as frivolous ever
The best F1 partnership ever was when the Ferrari pit crew team helped a UK Children's Hospital improve its ICU hand-off process in the 1990s. A new protocol dropped the error rate from 30% to 10%. How? After reviewing surgery operation footage, Ferrari F1 advised: ▫️a new

Last week I lost a friend. But the rest of the world lost a warrior. A visionary who dedicated his life to healing the sick and relentlessly bulldozing any barriers that got in his way. 1/n @NolanRyWilliams

Hard lesson: strongly negatively update on people and orgs that claim that it is simply impossible for them to do ops using standard best practices due to hand wavy things like value alignment. It is cover for them needing to select for people who will put up with sketchy stuff.

If you'll be near Lisbon in Oct (or want to be!) I highly recommend adding this to your itinerary. Tucker's retreats create space for very deep practice, and his 1-1 interviews have been incredibly impactful on my own practice in the past. Recommended:
I got invited kinda-last-minute to teach a meditation retreat outside Lisbon. It's gonna be Oct 21 - 26. It's at Fools' Valley, which has both a sauna & a swimming pond. It's super cheap, and you can arrive early and/or stay late for longer retreat. https://t.co/v68aXuFhaz

Jeff is one of my all-time favorite people and I highly recommend this episode. Also, behind the scenes, the real story, the goss: on the day this was recorded I ran into @mishaglouberman who was ranting about some jerks recording a podcast in a room where he wanted to run an
new episode with Jeff Lieberman (@xercyn) founder of @sleepawake_camp On rites of passage, overcoming depression, emotional fluidity and a practical map of consciousness recorded in person at @EdgeEsmeralda links bellow 0:00 Intro 0:42 Jeff's 10 years of depression

The closest thing I've seen to this is @JoinEdgeCity Otherwise, if you're into meditation, retreats with Dustin DiPerna or Tucker Peck or Jhourney (among others ofc) have this vibe.
There should be more IRL communal experiences for adults that feel like the best parts of college (in and outside the classroom)
