omg, aging as a result of the cells no longer having a goal aging not mainly caused by damage, but bcs once the organism finishes growing/developing, its cells lose a clear collective goal w/o a unifying goal, cells gradually lose coordination, leading to degeneration & disease

Just to reiterate, the test for AGI is dropping two offline units into a remote forest and observing whether they generate a thriving lineage.

There's a world of difference between destiny and fate. Fate happens to you. Destiny you move towards.

When we're defensive, we're all similar — rigid, guarded, and reactive. But when we're secure, we're each wildly unique 💫

As much as I can't wait to be done with playgrounds (at least, until I become a grandma), I must admit: ✨playgrounds are BRILLIANT✨

Whatever our politics, perhaps we can admit: there's something refreshing about the way Trump treats ending wars as just an item on his agenda. Like, of course that should be at top of a president's agenda.

Depends on your definition of waking up 😉
Wake up, go to work, come home, sleep. Wake up, go to work, come home, sleep. Wake up, go to work, come home, sleep. Wake up, go to work, come home, sleep. Wake up, go to work, come home, sleep. Wake up, go to work, come home, sleep. Death.

I just realized that if I'm completely still, I can feel my heartbeat through my entire body. A FULL-BODY HEARTBEAT. Try it 🥰

AMEN. Observe your daydreams, night dreams, and psychedelic journeys to see what you've been "training" on...💫
The largest well of repressed material in the contemporary person's unconscious is the avalanche of content they consume while doomscrolling, then promptly forget & can scarcely access later on. They ignore & minimize it as "wasted time" instead of hours of daily mental training

I just discovered the notion of post-traumatic growth. WOW. Totally. In the right conditions, what doesn't kill us can make us stronger 💪💗

I just discovered the wild etymology of two big words: ▫️Mother → mater (mother in Latin) → matter → matrix, i.e. womb or generative CONTEXT of life ▫️Father → pater (father in Latin) → paternal → pattern, i.e. FORM or structure So: Mother is context and father is form?!

What a blessing that AI has brought the concept of "alignment" into public discourse. The mainstream is actively discussing the extent to which we're aligned — and what we should be aligned to! EXCELLENT inquiry 🤓

I'm surrounded by prophets and angels! Among my close friends, I have various Davids and Sarahs, a couple Daniels, a Nathaniel, a Jonah, and a Rebecca. Feeling blessed 🥰

Tonight begins Yom Kippur. It's an annual opportunity to reflect on how we impact other people, and how we'd prefer to impact them. Which is worth reflecting on at least once a year! And is much preferable to waiting until the end of our lives. G'mar Chatima Tovah 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Tomorrow eve begins Yom Kippur. Inspired by Rabbi Lew: God has been watching the entire video of our lives. While Big Brother uses the tape against us, God uses the tape for us, with heartbreaking compassion — waiting to heal us the moment we wake up and watch along 💗

I just had my first outer space dream of my life! I was on a spaceship headed on vacation in Andromeda. (Apparently our closest spiral galaxy, I had to look it up when I awoke.) It was stunning to fly through the stars✨✨✨✨✨ I was especially amazed with the precision

Today is Rosh Hashanah! The Jewish commemoration of the birth of the world — and the cosmic separation of light & dark, and divine feminine & divine masculine. Hence our purpose of divine integration. Very fitting that this year, Rosh Hashanah lands on the equinox — where light

Instead of comparing your creation to the ideal, compare it to the first one you ever made.
Any advice on how to deal with perfectionism? It’s one of my biggest problems.
