      "body": "I was thinking about how glad I was that I spent some time digging through my local library about 2 years ago, when I discovered two good books that caused me to look at my relationship with money in a new way. \nI read a good variety, but most just offered simple encouragement. I don't consider that to be a bad thing, but they tend to lean hard on the management of finances or statistics that just compare the behaviors of those who have experienced financial success versus those who have not. While I do believe managing your money and studying the behaviors of those who have loads of it are part of it, they don't quite get at the root of the problem. For those who are in the thick of existential/financial crises, a budget will only take you so far - when I was in the thick of it, all I could think of was a better paying job, a tighter budget, and where the fuck is all the money I need going to come from? I was out of ideas, and too overextended at work to see the forest through the trees. \nWhen you need ideas for your business, copying other people’s behaviors only goes so far, too. As a musician, it’s not about what I use to make my art, it’s how I use it, and the story I’m trying to tell. It’s not really you when you plagiarize, anyways, and I hope you relish the thought of being the one that everyone else is trying to emulate. I’ll ask this question as an extension: \nIf you can be artistic with anything(even math), what’s your signature?\nI challenge you to think of ways in which you can practice what you do for a living as a form of art - you might begin to see things less in terms of productivity, and more in terms of an expression of how you are - which I believe to be ultimately the key to understanding your true value to your clients.\nAs I mentioned before, I grew up in an area where drugs and cycles of abuse were pretty rampant, which had a huge effect on my relationship with myself and others. I had trouble seeing my value beyond what I could produce as a 'hard worker.' I took pride in my ability to work diligently, to push through difficult emotional days and complete what my employers had tasked me with, regardless of what it did to me.\nA few jobs deep out of highschool, I stopped thinking about careers and just tried to stay afloat as I tried to write and record music, crossing my fingers that I would get lucky and just-so-happen to play in front of someone with all the money to front my tour-de-force platinum album(Read Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers if you want to believe in getting lucky). I don’t mean to discount my belief in my musical abilities, in fact - I want to empower you to trust in your own ability to pursue your crazy dreams to the absolute craziest end, so when I talk about how I look back on it now I only mean to say I was trying my hardest to succeed, despite being oblivious to how I was keeping myself far from it.\nBefore I was able to make good use of my true talents and gifts, I never noticed how I had allowed the market to decide my career. The businesses I had worked for had found ways of exploiting workers like me, because I was always drifting into jobs that I thought would be stable and lucrative for someone of my background. I looked for jobs that paid a little more than what I was making, and often ended up accepting the same rate - anything else would cause me to sweat profusely when I thought of actually getting an interview. I’m embarrassed to think of the emails I wrote to people attempting to explain away 2 years of unemployment when the financial crises in 2007 made jobs in my town scarcer than a decent pen in a post office. \nI also lied, constantly, about why I wanted to work for them, because I knew no one would hire someone who would openly admit just needing some kind of paycheck to survive. I saw that everyone else who had what my buddies would call 'adult' jobs had just gotten lucky - they had simply received the education and financial resources that gave them access to higher paying jobs.\nHowever, since I had no financial support, I blamed my financial instability on my parents, my bosses, my coworkers, company culture - anything but the reasons that were actually holding me back. I was determined to avoid committing to my true passions, because I believed that they didn’t offer enough value to others to merit supporting my needs.\nI went to college on and off, too, taking up classes in psychology, music, biology, eventually setting my sights on an osteopathic medicine degree, eventually giving up when my favorite environmental science professor shared some academic research stories that spooked me, and I swore it off ever since.\nWhen I went through an especially dark period of my life, I began to question how I defined success. My parents had no experience in building their own business, and made their conclusions clear about my ability to find financial success as an artist. Determined to push me into stable careers based on what they believed to be common sense(and the merits of maintaining a 'solid work ethic' ), I eventually learned to keep my opinions to myself. When I moved out at 19, I thought I was free, but it took years before I realized I was still hanging on to ideas that were hurting me.\n\n\nOn my own, I lived with roommate after roommate, burning bridges with friends and coworkers every time I lost a job or fell in love, but I could pick up anything you could throw at me without complaining about the job description, so I just kept on truckin’. I was just, ‘unlucky,’ I reasoned.\nI went from job to job(I count 17 since my first job at an irrigation parts store in my junior year of highschool) and from industry to industry. I was a sales agent, customer service specialist, data entry clerk, barista, sandwich artist, raw food kitchen prep chef, conveyance mechanic, private driver, warehouse worker, risk coordinator, you get the point - the kitchen sink has nothing on me.\n\nI was getting fed up with my anxiety over money problems, and when I got in an accident that forced me to relocate and begin looking for work in ANOTHER industry, I started reading books on finances. I picked up Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I picked up Warren Buffett books, I picked up books about Warren Buffett books, I picked up personal finance books, and I picked up what I would now call ‘spiritual finance,’ books that talk about money in spiritual terms, like ‘manifesting,’ and ‘clearing your root chakra.’ I won’t lie, some of the spiritual books did help me figure out some deep self-worth issues, but that’s another article I aim to write, so I’ll save it for later.\nWhat I started to notice about financial books was that there were a lot of books that focus on a lot of boring concepts like:\nGrinding - Because everyone hates work, it’s normal, even expected, to wake up every day in an existential crises?\nSaving up for your retirement - So you can then do what gives you purpose\nNetworking - So you can get more money, not so you can create lasting relationships? We know stereotypes...\nMaking a budget - Budgets just reveal our priorities? We have to actually look at where our priorities are to grow from this...\n401k plans - Trust us with all this money while we do risky things with it behind your back. Oh, and sign here where it says it’s your fault.\nCredit is the devil! - Ok I kinda sorta agree with this one, but not always. People just obviously really suck at using it appropriately.\nSo my point is there are tons of books that seriously miss the target for those interested in getting out from behind debt and crushing anxiety about their purpose.\nI have found that the only thing that helped me get through my darkest hour was both realizing my true talents and gifts, and actually starting to take action steps towards making good use of them. You might think based on how I described those topics as ‘boring,’ that I don’t get how the numbers add up for you, that I don’t take it seriously, but let me tell you - I still owe on my student debt, I still owe plenty of people and banks money, and there are still some nights I stay up thinking about it. The difference for me now is, I stopped thinking about running away from it all, and I stopped thinking I had no way out. I figured out ways to move myself forward, towards where I feel great when I am challenged and stretched, and away from places that fail to engage my senses.\nSo, while this isn’t an article that I would say is conclusive, I want to bring in two books that broke my little money loving heart into pieces, and forced me to leave everything I knew behind. I feel a deep sense of satisfaction being able to share words about these brilliant minds.\nNumber One for me: Killing Sacred Cows: Overcoming the Financial Myths That Are Destroying Your Prosperity by Garrett B. Gunderson and Stephen Palmer\nNumber Two for me: On the Wealth of Nations by P.J. O’Rourke\nKilling Sacred Cows was rough for me - I could only make it through a chapter each time I sat down to read it, because I would rant and rave at my partner about how seriously bullshit everything was every time I would pick it up, and it took days for me to process through all the emotional baggage tied to each of the myths Garrett breaks down. I was mad for a good 3 months after reading this, and I don’t want to spoil anything for you, but I just really, really believe this book has something for anyone who was raised to believe in going all-in on their 401k plan, or really just anyone who knows they need to take a risk and go all-in on their small business/empire but haven’t yet. Subjects include but not limited to: Insurance, credit cards, risk assessment, and how to spot a fake financial advisor.\nOn the Wealth of Nations by P.J. O’Rourke was my way out of reading Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations. Just being honest. But seriously, hearing someone talk about Adam Smith’s work in an approachable fashion gave me an appreciation for the philosophy of economics, and to understand how all of us can benefit from participating in exchanges of value, no matter the differences between us. There are tons of little nuggets in this book, and I seriously can’t wait for you to read it. We all have a massive ability to generate value for others, and his understanding of the system of things and how we all play into it is just beyond me. I want to explain more, but I just...can’t. He does it better. Read it!\nI wish I could get into each book and quote to you, but it’s not my style - just...if you share anything in common with me and what I’ve been through, know that these books have the potential to change your life if you actually apply these concepts in a real and action-oriented way. There are more concrete examples in Killing Sacred Cows of how to actually make changes, so I recommend it for those who are not interested in the ‘bird’s eye view’ method of looking at making money. In fact, I just recommend reading Killing Sacred Cows first, and then reading On the Wealth of Nations after you’ve been thoroughly scoured and conflagrated.\nAgain, I’m not here to tell you ‘that’s it, that’s all that needs doing,’ in terms of reading about money, but after I read those two books I stopped being interested in reading about money ever since, and I started focusing on pouring everything I had into recognizing my ability to create value for others. I feel seriously empowered and educated by these books, and while I’m not a millionaire, I feel like one when I start to think about all the crazy shit I’m going to build while I’m alive, and I just really want you to feel that way too, because why the fuck not? Build yours too! I’m sure we’ll find something to trade :)\n\nCheers to you living in a fucking castle, decorated with the trophies of the slain enemies of your mind,\nCollectivenectar\nSpecial thanks to : Gary Vaynerchuk - My pseudo father figure of sorts - Check his shit out!",

In reality, we have great scientists, artists, inventors, and 'thinkers' that come up with good options for the rest of us to choose.%0A%0AI don't really see proof that we really know what ants are 'thinking,' or 'feeling,' though - we just guess based on external behaviors. They are diligent and obedient to the order of things, just the same as humans are expected to behave for some corporations or businesses.%0A%0AWhat divination has done for me is allow me to clear the air of pretense - Who is this character I have been playing? What am I thinking this moment says about me? How has my past clouded my judgement in my current situation? What effects do my beliefs about the future have on my state of mind right now?%0A%0AThese questions clear the room of all the baggage of labels and judgments about my potential. You and me, we both could talk for hours about who we've been, the things we've done, and how we have both been brought to this moment by a deep and meaningful series of events, but what does it really help with when we come to realize the irony of this moment?%0A%0AIt's not to say that what you have been through doesn't also provide irony when you compare it to the present and to what you are about to experience - but time likes to play tricks on us. It isn't a jealous or vengeful God, but we do give it too much power over our lives. We give time our constant attention and love, and miss out on what sits in front of us our whole lives in hopes that time-ing will pay off. It is, in my opinion, a God - if that's how we treat it.%0A%0AAn example - I am 13 years old. I am called to dinner. A casserole, including ingredients like black olives, and corn. My mouth does not like it when black olives and corn are tasted together. Do I eat it anyways? Do I delay coming to dinner, only to eat it still? Do I refuse to eat, and get sent to bed for having an attitude? Do I run away, in hopes of finding loving parents who would never dream of putting black olives and corn in a casserole? Do I pick out the corn? Or the olives?%0A%0AThe biggest problem for me when learning about divination was conviction. Without conviction, choices are meaningless. Without conviction, our lives start to look like everyone else's lives - we eat what's on the menu, we go only where yelp says to go, we don't express how we feel to the people closest to us for fear of disagreeing with them, and we just fall into our chairs after work and watch what everyone else watches.%0A%0AWhere can we find conviction, if we don't know where it is? I believe divination is a tool to help you find conviction again, if you have found yourself drifting in today's 'zombie apocalypse.' The cards, the runes, what have you, are only there to help you to want again. Once you have desires again, you can practice fulfilling them. For those who know what they want, and know how to take significant action to get it, divination tends to be mistaken for 'common sense.' Of course, there are those who believe that divination is actually going to tell them what will happen in the future, and yes, I believe there are some who have a talent for it that cannot be explained, but for you, it may be beside the point. I believe divination tools are best used in private, to speak to yourself, and to draw out the quiet desires of a distracted and noisy mind.%0A%0AConsider how you feel right now - Do you feel you have taken appropriate action to get what you really want in life? Are you aware of the unexpected things happening around you? Are you free to take advantage of the present moment? Stop worrying about the things you need to accomplish, clear the air of your past and future, and try noticing anything else but the time. If you have responsibilities, set a timer, and if you begin to worry about things you need to do/not do, gently remind yourself that you can accomplish these things later. Give yourself a healthy relationship with yourself outside of time, and you will meet your destiny with conviction.\n",

      "body": "One thing has always been true for me and tarot/runes :\n\nIt helps me to realize that the construct of time is only a tool, not a reality to live in.\nI spent so much of my past focused outside of the present moment - so physically \ntense and mentally fearful of the responsibility for the present moment that I gave\nup my ability to respond to what was happening in the present.\n\nI had been taught that God was outside of the moment, and that He was the only\none with the knowledge, experience, and influence to bring me to my destination -\nMy destiny. I had been taught that I was an ant(but in a bad way) I was the one \nwithout access to knowledge, experience, and influence to comfort myself in the \ndark times, and to appropriately take advantage of the times when I felt illuminated. \nAn ant, to us humans, seems so ignorant and out of touch with the broad strokes,\nthe, \"bigger picture,\" and we laugh at how our 'self-conscious'-ness gives us power\nto make free will decisions.\n\nBut divination has taught me that we have no current means of insight into what\nants 'think,' or 'feel,' so maybe we can't assume that they have no free will in the\ncolony. We have no idea if they 'know' of other potential actions to take, and simply\nchoose to remain loyal to their colony's needs.\n\nMy analogy is for this:\n\nTarot/runes tell me metaphor after metaphor about the past, the present, and the future.\nThey share stories comparing human nature with all other lifestyles that exist in nature.\nI don't want to get into the creation story vs evolution, but aside from both perspectives,\nI don't believe our physical nature is any less instinctual than that of animals. Animals\nhave patterns of behavior, and we have patterns of behavior. What we believe sets us\napart from animals is this concept of 'free will,' and I see free will as the ability to adapt\nto situations through the act of creating a new and ironic choice.\n\nFor example, I am 12 years old. I am given a plate of food at dinner. It is a casserole. It\nhas black olives and corn. My mouth dislikes it when corn is mixed with black olives.\nDo I eat it anyways? Do I complain? Do I pick out the corn? or the olives? Do I walk away?\nWhich is the most ironic choice? Which is the least? Which is more fun? Which will\nmake my parents happier?\n\nThe opportunities for ironic changes to our destiny is empowering, but I say that without \nconviction, our instinct is to choose from what lies in front of us.\n\nI believe divination is about finding conviction. Tarot/runes/scrying/etc offers us an\nempty template for us to fill with conviction and desire. When I say an empty template,\nobviously there are stories, archetypes, positions on a wheel, et cetera that sometimes may\nseem like the conviction is prescribed, but it depends on how you use divination as a\nmeans to guide yourself into the next moment, and what your intention is when sitting \ndown to use it.\n\nHowever, in my experience, divination has been a method for me to uncover my true\ndesires in life, and for when I feel lost and without conviction, to awaken myself to a\nmental state of being receptive to all options. Once I have uncovered my desire, or\nreturned to a state of receptivity, I feel empowered to choose. \n\nSometimes I simply choose what is in front of me, and 'eat it anyways,' just to see what\nhappens this time. Sometimes I walk away to find what I know will make my life much\nmore ironic :)\n\nAs a tool, time can be used to tell a story. As you pass from one moment to the next,\nyou can find what you feel to be the most interesting, the most ironic, the most\nexciting path to take, and - instead of feeling static and trapped in the decisions of\nyour past(or worried you will make a mistake that will ruin your potential in the future)\nyou will feel 'educated' by the present moment, guided by your unconscious, and\ncomforted in knowing time is not your reality.",

      "body": "I wanted to take a moment to discuss how I choose to select blockchain tech I want to put my money in. This is written in a way that may seem like I'm writing to designers and creators, but if you're looking to buy coins, consider how these theories may effect your buying process.\n\nI see a lot of advertisements for buying into ICOs now that talk about % and ROI and not much about how they plan to engage the individual people, so it seems to me that now would be the time for me to share my point of view on choosing where to put my money in certain blockchain tech.\n\nWhile understanding and breaking down how the actual tech works in a secure and decentralized manner is at the core of the success of the technology, I believe the true determiner of success of a business comes down to how the design and support team understands and engages a response from both individual people and the market. The market may still decide a resounding 'no,' with even the best ideas, but I think it takes a conscious person looking at how their product looks from the outside in order to communicate the idea properly and give their baby the best shot at success.\n\nI have participated in street teams with only a few small blockchain apps, but each one fell short when it came to community engagement, individual onboarding(how they respond to the individual and empower them when they take their first steps in becoming involved), and general market strategy.\n\nI will now discuss a few points I have found help me to determine my level of interest.\n\n1) Speech\n\nI see a lot of ads with grammatical errors, inconsistent themes and perspectives, and numbers! I get that numbers make people think money, which is an incentive to buy your coin, but think of this : If you love your idea, and want others to see its' true potential as a 'game-changer' do you think selling the idea as a money maker will attract people who will hodl? or people who will fomo and pull out the minute they hear about another project that they think will bring them an additional %.75 ROI? This gets into who your real target audience is(and I guess who I think my target audience is, lol) and whether or not you're interested in a more stable and decentralized ecosystem, so I'll move on.\n\nA common language with your demographic is an important first step, but any team interested in engaging a group of people(small or large) needs to consider how their unique approach can be translated into a unique way of speaking about the problem they aim to solve. My personal favorite for this approach is using human emotion to tell a story. For example, If you are creating a decentralized market, consider telling a story that discusses how important decentralized markets are to our 'story' as beings that live in a centralized system.\n\nDiscuss how you aim to 'share a different perspective,' or, 'offer a different path' for those that feel the current narrative does not sound like theirs. I want to step to the side for the moment and mention that interjections into your 'story' with statistics, financials, and ROI are OK, but work best when they are used sparingly, and only when truly relevant to the 'story.' Maybe just make a separate section where you can put all the numbers in one place for those that need them to make a mathematical decision.\n\n2) Social understanding\n\nWell-rounded teams will understand how their idea will need structure in a social sense. Individual people are easy to manipulate with marketing(It's why people act crazy in supermarkets) but getting things to work in a social sense are an entirely different beast. I believe a solid understanding of economics, and maybe government, may point you in the right direction, but are not a perfect background for blockchain tech. We have not had a decentralized society for quite some time in our species' history, and not much was written down then, so we are currently in the 'wild wild west,' of social engineering. Find someone for your team that has some very practical experience in social engineering, especially experience with building larger teams, say at least 5-10 people, preferably above 50 though.\n\nWe are great problem solvers, and there will always be someone who finds loopholes, hacks, and ways to game the system, so there should be mechanisms(rewards and fees/fines) that make cheating an ineffective solution to their problem. Test your idea with a large group of people if you want to work those kinks out before a big release, and you'll avoid having to rework your entire concept when your pyramid-scheme type idea falls on its' head.\n\nSocial understanding also pays off when it comes time to 'snowball' into a big success. I had one tech company I was into totally tricked me into spending a good portion of my fomo fund, only to find out it was just another linkin park remix album: a retouching of their previous genial work with the relevant 'blockchain' type twist, and an ICO to keep out of the red. It worked though! Unfortunately it lost about %80 value when BTC took the dive this last winter, and when I started digging for evidence of productivity to encourage me to hodl, I found they had just designed the appearance of success into their system , and were also staking with company funds. A hard lesson for me, but one that taught me that even a bad plan is easily spun with a strong social engagement team!\n\n3) The gift of giving\n\nThis is personally the most important to me, and the most difficult tool to discern with. How is your idea designed to give freely and without strings? Investing in people is going to your biggest 'ROI,' but is the biggest financial risk you will ever take. It won't make any sense from an investors point of view, because your returns may not be financial. Blockchain tech is poised to removed the meddling middle man, but in order to do so the product may involve removing you from a position of influence at some point in time. Consider how you can make your product mostly free, or so cheap that you feel existential crises creeping in.\n\nAlso, give the gift of transparency and objectivity to your demographic, and they will support your idea to the end. Vulnerability is an asset in blockchain, I believe, because trustless technology is dependent on you actually designing your personal success out of the equation. Welcome criticism of your flaws, use it to fuel your design process and establish trust with your investors. You need accountability in your team, so offer it up without it being asked for, and it will be the best decision you ever make.\n\nThat's all I have for the day! Thanks for stopping by",

Individual people are easy to manipulate with marketing(It's why people act crazy in supermarkets) but getting things to work in a social sense are an entirely different beast. I believe a solid understanding of economics, and maybe government, may point you in the right direction, but are not a perfect background for blockchain tech. We have not had a decentralized society for quite some time in our species' history, and not much was written down then, so we are currently in the 'wild wild west,' of social engineering. Find someone for your team that has some very practical experience in social engineering, especially experience with building larger teams, say at least 5-10 people, preferably above 50 though.\n\nWe are great problem solvers, and there will always be someone who finds loopholes, hacks, and ways to game the system, so there should be mechanisms(rewards and fees/fines) that make cheating an ineffective solution to their problem. Test your idea with a large group of people if you want to work those kinks out before a big release, and you'll avoid having to rework your entire concept when your pyramid-scheme type idea falls on its' head.\n\nSocial understanding also pays off when it comes time to 'snowball' into a big success. I had one tech company I was into totally tricked me into spending a good portion of my fomo fund, only to find out it was just another linkin park remix album: a retouching of their previous genial work with the relevant 'blockchain' type twist, and an ICO to keep out of the red. It worked though! Unfortunately it lost about %80 value when BTC took the dive this last winter, and when I started digging for evidence of productivity to encourage me to hodl, I found they had just designed the appearance of success into their system , and were also staking with company funds. A hard lesson for me, but one that taught me that even a bad plan is easily spun with a strong social engagement team!\n\n3) The gift of giving\n\nThis is personally the most important to me, and the most difficult tool to discern with. How is your idea designed to give freely and without strings? Investing in people is going to your biggest 'ROI,' but is the biggest financial risk you will ever take. It won't make any sense from an investors point of view, because your returns may not be financial. Blockchain tech is poised to removed the meddling middle man, but in order to do so the product may involve removing you from a position of influence at some point in time. Consider how you can make your product mostly free, or so cheap that you feel existential crises creeping in.\n\nAlso, give the gift of transparency and objectivity to your demographic, and they will support your idea to the end. Vulnerability is an asset in blockchain, I believe, because trustless technology is dependent on you actually designing your personal success out of the equation. Welcome criticism of your flaws, use it to fuel your design process and establish trust with your investors. You need accountability in your team, so offer it up without it being asked for, and it will be the best decision you ever make.\n\nThat's all I have for the day! Thanks for stopping by",

Sometimes this experience brings in new beings, new challenges, and new feelings that bring joy into our life - only to be stomped out with a love that constricts us. Wouldn't pure love encourage us to seek out our comfort and our joy?

Steal a moment to a secret place where your craziest ideas are safe to come out and try to find ways to connect with them emotionally by expressing yourself on paper or in music or anything where it encourages you to get lost in the moment. Set a timer if it worries you, but do it more than just today if that's how it will always be. You must not lose sight of your dreams. You will always be connected to them.

      "body": "I wanted to write this to ask the question out loud, because so often this comes up \nand I think, 'There's no proof either way and what does it matter?' But seriously, my\nquestion is - Have we tricked ourselves into believing we're not following our instincts\nas a species any more?\n\nI think of how many commercials attempt to push back against our natural self \npreserving behaviors in order to sell us material goods. They constantly impress upon\nme that I cannot accomplish my dreams without looking a certain way, living a \ncertain way, maybe even spending my money a certain way. This structure society\n(or maybe ads want us to think they are society?) wants for us is our choice, but\nthey threaten those that choose the different path. I see so many ads about candy,\nprescription drugs, and alcohol where they compare people through jokes(which\nusually compare gender/socioeconomic status/race/etc) and physical violence, \npeer pressure, about how you shouldn't avoid work or social gatherings even \nwhen you're depressed, etc. \n\nSo what is the different path? The different path is pretty broad to me in terms\nof what advertisements would look like, but that just tells me what we're buying\nwith all of our hard earned cash(how many can say you have the \"perfect job?')\nThe different path says to me one that involves valuing mental and physical \nhealth above business stability. Maybe it also involves finding more ways to accept\naberrant behavior instead of pressurizing it and sacrificing it for increased\nproductivity. I'm not suggesting we give up our Iphones and personal cars, at least,\nnot in this post, but what if we 'gave up' productivity for a bit to allow us to \nfollow our instincts? I wonder if there are any studies that would suggest following\nand obeying our bodily cues like :\n\nNausea, anxiety, pain, depression, intense paranoia, disease, PTSD, and basically \nanything else our body is crying out to us get out, go of, leave, run away from, etc.\n\nWould be more healthy for us as a city/state/country/species than pressurizing our \nsymptoms and keeping us working 'Jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need' \nAla Chuck Palahniuk? There are a lot of sick people where I live, because we pay for\nsystems that can't support us staffed with people we didn't choose who are in bed \nwith companies that don't have our best interest at heart, but do have lawyers who \nhave the advantage in court to keep us pounding at the door to following our \ninstincts and listening to our bodies signals. How can there be no breaks from work?\nHow can transitional assistance put people in poorhouses? Why does everyone talk\nabout mental illness like it's a curse or a disease? Where is the respect for our species?\nWhy spend our money as a city/state/government/species on this when we know \nit's not working? Why are businesses more important?\n\nRespond with your thoughts or even references to studies, sil-vous-plaits",

      "body": "I get the sense that we all think different things about the future that's coming. Some think darkly, as some countries do benefit from keeping its citizens misinformed about projects that create risk for us all in different ways. But what about the things we know we've been waiting for? What about not having to worry about food ever again? what about technology that makes moving around the planet as cheap as moving around an urban city? What about travel into space, or a democracy that includes all countries? Is this future coming for us? Are we ready to receive it?\n\n             To be honest, I have no idea when or if these events will ever come to pass, but I myself can't fight the feeling that it'll happen in my lifetime. Are we really 'ready' for it, though? What would 'ready' look like?\n\n             In simple terms, we would understand and appreciate the gifts and risks associate with using technology.\n\n             What do we need to move forward into a future that doesn't have the issues we have today? Violence, famine, oppression, and deception prevent us from working together peacefully. New technologies wow us, but often fall short or even injure our relationships with each other or the environment. We allow large groups of people (corporations/companies) to purchase and move resources and manufacturing processes back and forth around the globe. Companies leverage untapped soils, mineral deposits, even natural springs and lakes so that they can decrease their cost of operations and sometimes so they can dispose of manufacturing waste cheaply(and discreetly).\n              An example of this would be cell phone manufacturers, whose technology allows them to cheaply use precious metals and plastics to design pocket-sized smart phones. But how are customers informed about proper waste disposal of batteries and toxic metals in the electronic components? How do these manufacturers responsibly manage the way the resources are used and replenished afterwards? I'd love to see an ad for a smart phone that includes the cost of recycling the mercury, bromine, arsenic, and chlorine used in making the circuit boards and flame retardant housing and wires.\n            It costs money to strip and process the waste material so that it can be introduced to dump sites without breaking down into hazardous chemicals. These byproducts and electronics waste can even leech into adjacent water tables and soil. So, because of the costs, companies instead ignore that aspect entirely, passing the responsibility on to consumers. The people living around these businesses find work at these companies where they are taken advantage of due to local currency exchange rates, labor laws, and sometimes government favor and influence. Why would we choose to conduct business this way? What motivates us to miss how our profit and expansion costs us the future of the planet we live on? Why do we as customers neglect our responsibilities to each other and to the earth we live on?\n             If I were to suggest a way to improve this without changing the system, I would say that a solution could be requiring businesses to process their own waste according to the highest ecological standards. More specifically, if businesses could also be required to process their own waste after consumers have used the product/service, companies would spend more time designing products that create less waste. Products and services would come with less packaging, and consumers would no doubt have to bring their own bags(which some cities and states somewhere already do). It could work, provided the product or service actually improves our lives and brings us into the future.\n             However, my experience leads me to believe that getting ready for the future more likely entails changing how we interact with others and the planet we live on. If there were changes to our society or ecosystem that happened less gradually, would we not experience upheaval and confusion? We are resistant to changes in these areas because we believe there to be too much risk involved in learning a new way of doing things, or because we just don't see how fast our future could actually get here! Our governments sometimes outright refuse to believe that we are causing any damage in the first place, and even go as far as prescribing culture that enforces ignorance of the natural world we live in! Also worth mentioning would be the advantages currently designed into cultural constructs like racism, sexism, and prejudice. 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it,\" is something I hear a lot, but I suggest we deeply reevaluate the way we interact with others and the planet.\n             We will have a serious 'problem' as a species if our ecosystem stops supporting our previously wonderful evolutionary/technological advantages by slowly becoming hostile via toxic air, toxic soil and plant life. We will have more serious problems if the way we do business with each other continues to be focused on profit and efficiency. Technology sometimes allows for greater efficiency and profit, but technology advancements need to be used responsibly and ethically to improve our human and ecological relationships. Technology could go hand in hand with ethics, and public discussion about sustainability and human health could allow us to become more conscious of the kinds of technologies that we can use without hurting ourselves in the process.\n             An actual collective process for discovering and improving technologies would benefit everyone, especially if it involved ergonomic/functional design to avoid technologies that hinder us from moving forward. Examples being cell phones (again?) --- We have had to make various societal changes to adapt to the behavior that cell phones elicit. People wander around without looking up, miss out on face to face social interaction, and operate vehicles and heavy machinery while completely distracted by the activity taking place on their phones! It has definitely directed our social and intellectual advancement.\n              To sum up, If we don't have conversations about how technology is changing us, we lose the conscious improvement process. Individuals(or greedy companies) will continue to come out with newer cheaper products without looking at the impact their practices have on human behavior and ecology. How will we guide ourselves into the future if we're letting ourselves be guided by businesses that are too focused on efficiency and profit?",

      "body": "I like to talk about practicing thoughtfulness in the hopes of influencing others \nto do the same. I find thoughtfulness turns our focus to more creative and innovative ways \nof solving conflict with others and pushes our limits as beings that interact with the very \nstrange and unpredictable world that we live in.\n\nWe can often get caught up believing conflict is a competition, a struggle for power, or a\nway to blow off steam when you are stressed. This causes the kind of destructive\ninteractions we usually remember as traumatic when it happens to us, but when we realize\nwe've done something wrong to another person, this should be a time to learn about\nourselves and address why we decided to cause injury or project blame. \n\nBlame doesn't even need to be here. How do we even know that this experience we're\ncurrently having is an overall bad or good one? Unless we know the complete future,\nwe don't see the peaks and valleys for what they are - a range of experiences - because\nhaving a 'big picture' perspective when we enter conflict with others will remind you to\nobserve your actions. But it's soooooo hard. How do you consciously enter conflict with\na 'big picture' perspective?\n\nYou practice thoughtfulness. This isn't just being introspective, or coming up with new\nproblems to distract yourself with - this is observing your actions as if you were, say, a\nmanager of a team of 150+ personalities. You don't start as a manager, obviously,\nbecause that's kind of intimidating. Sometimes you start out as a kid, because life made\nbeing real with others too dangerous, so be aware this might stir up a lot of uncomfortable \nfeelings about digging up the past, in order to facilitate the being 'thoughtful'\nprocess. Regardless, you start from where you are, because anything else would just\nbe confusing.\n\n So, you learn to practice thoughtfulness for a few situations at the beginning. You can \nthink of this like starting with meditation, and then practicing a few lessons you learned \nwhile meditating when you randomly become reminded of it during your non-meditative\nstates. For others it may need to be more physically linked, so choose an activity/behavior \nthat makes it easier for you to practice thoughtfulness.\n\nFor a lot of people their first instinct when choosing a behavior that helps them be more\nthoughtful is something they enjoy doing, or at least enjoy more than they don't. For\nothers it is harder to distinguish thoughtfulness from having to give up something they\nmight not even have enough of in the first place. Try to find out which one you are before\nyou settle down and practice something long term, because you can end up choosing\nactivities that just make it more difficult to practice thoughtfulness. I'm making this \ncrucial because your first experience with something you love doing that also helps you\npractice thoughtfulness is an important one.\n\nAn example of this would be someone whose nature it is to love the outdoors, but was\nraised to believe that lifestyles that promote the freedom to travel were immoral. This\nperson decides that the behavior that they enjoy and helps them practice thoughtfulness\nis participating in a group activity that sets up a booth at market times locally and\npractices giving advice for free. The thought was that they're outdoors, and they're \nhelping others, right? But when I'm talking about thoughtfulness I'm also talking\nabout your thought process and how you interact with others. So, this means there's\nan emotional aspect that can help you really nail this and find something you really\nlove doing.\n\nIf you have a hard time accepting how you feel all the time, thoughtfulness will be\ndifficult because emotions are at the center of strong memories - my un-pro opinion\nis that they pull strings on memories you literally #canteven handle consciously -\nsince that's bad, there's no way you'll let them surface enough. These emotions get \nstuffed down below your threshold of awareness. They still come up though, and\nthe majority of your thought process will be consumed with the avoidance of new \nexperiences.\n\nI'd like to have a side conversation with you first though, just to say:\n\nIf this is happening for you, this is where you can reach out to your\n(confidential if possible/preferable) local professional and licensed brain healers,\naka therapists. If you're in a situation where that brings up shame or fear of being\nfound out, don't worry! You're not alone! There's so much pressure in society to be\nnormal, and the rewards don't outweigh the risks. \n\nTaking care of yourself is like putting on your oxygen mask before helping others in\na plane crash. You can't help others if you're suffocating in your current environment! \nGive yourself that much needed air so you can recover and help those around you \nfrom a position of wellness.\n\nAlso, From my personal un-pro experience, if you can find a knowledgeable and \nexperienced psychiatrist that understands the interplay of trauma/ptsd/anxiety,\nyou can also weed out the potential for chemical imbalances, which typically takes\nmuch longer to accomplish with talk only therapy.\n\nBack to the topic that was previously at hand, knowing how you feel in your current\nsituation can help you move through experiences with more grace and acceptance\nof this strange and unpredictable world we live in. Emotions have the potential\nto create conflict, but when you are aware of how you feel, you can include those\nfeelings in your 'big picture' perspective. \n\nWhen you through your feelings out on that table, just remember - the long term \nrisks of putting your feelings out there are pretty small - people who alienate you \nfor expressing your feelings may not know what they're feeling or doing themselves,\nso you may not want to take their advice to heart without taking that into account \nas well.\n\nSo this is where it all ties in: finding activities and behaviors that are fun for you, \nthe emotions, the strangeness, the conflict, the monkey in the brain pushing all \nyour thought buttons at random, and the big picture perspective that helps you \nmake it through your personal experiences and even your conflict with others. \n\nPracticing awareness of all those things while you go about your day is like adding \na board of advisors of all your most inspiring role models to your decision making \nprocess - things will still get noisy and a little crazy, and when you first start \npracticing it you'll have to work through the communication issues, but it'll be\nso worth the things you learn on the way, and not just the things you learn about\nyourself! \n\nHope this helps",

      "body": "I have to remember sometimes that we all want something different. So why can't we all get along? Why can't we want the same things? I think we lost track of really getting to know what the people around us want. Sometimes getting to know the people that live around you can reveal personality you assumed didn't exist - stories and wisdom from the collective thousands of years of living life and making mistakes. Why is it so hard to learn from each other though, if we're standing right next to them and all we can think is, \"why are they wearing their hat that way?,\" or, \"They're from ____, that explains why they ____.\"\n\nCommunicating with people you don't understand or don't feel like understanding can reveal alot about who we think we are and what our biases about what goes on on the outside of our bodies. How can we assume that someone who looks a certain way is actually conscious of how they look to everyone else? I just threw on some old sweatpants and a holy t-shirt to do my laundry(it got bad) but I'm guessing I look like I ran out of clean clothes. I might not look like that to someone else, though, and I'm sure there are tons more strange combinations of events that resulted in some seriously out of context judgements over what people were wearing, the expression on their face, and the general appearance they cultivated physiologically. But what difference does it make if we stop judging them in our heads or in our conversations?\n\nPeople do weird things, after all, and some behaviors are extremely entertaining for those who don't understand the context. I often wonder if jokes are just provoking the extreme and bizarre interpretation of a story we don't understand the complete context of. The biggest joke in the universe is “we’re alone with our experiences and with our thoughts,” though. We all share so many experiences, and some are so similar it gets weird when you find out someone you know went through your exact unique situation - just with different names and places. So when we go out to make moves in the world, and find people we don’t understand keep getting in our way, are we in the wrong town? Or do we need to check out where our judgements are taking us? Do we know the context of their lives? Am I an expert at that persons experiences?\n\nWe all feel it a little when some random person just walks in and judges us, and for a lot of people, almost every interaction with others is filled with judgements and projections. It comes from others and from our own shame but it doesn’t mean we need to isolate ourselves from certain interactions because we just don’t know their context and their behavior bothers us. Sometimes the biggest thing you can do to get beyond conflict with others is to take steps to get to understand whatever it is about them that bothers you. Ask questions with the intent of understanding how that specific person relates to their culture and behaviors. While learning some of the customs and language of people you are pretty much stuck with sounds like a bit much, you’d be surprised how much it can improve your everyday experience. \n\nI need to be reminded that there are other stories out there that sound like ours, and that we all have the capacity to share experience with others instead of disqualifying them because you decided you just won’t ever understand them and that’s just weird I don’t like that, who talks like that, why is he here? You can’t do that, you can’t seriously believe that, oh don’t tell me you’re one of those people that thinks that, you know the rest.\n\n\n![DSC_9491.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTuqffdNdtyMHgLq9VAco2b9Q4QmVx12pztrXYhMzj7D7/DSC_9491.jpg)",

      "body": "What if there are projects that actually get enough adoption that they produce 'lift,' and go\nto the moon? Wouldn't we all like to know which one? Which one will transform our culture\nand provide a new path into the future?\n\nBut what happens when the design of the system actually ends up changing us in a way we're\nnot expecting? How can we account for that? Cryptography and market design are super\nin blockchain technology, but I feel there needs to be more discussion about how these\ninterfaces and services we're designing will actually affect human behavior. This is the same\ndilemma with technology like VR, psychoactive drugs, or cell phones. How do we protect\nourselves from the negative side effects of technology if we don't fundamentally\nunderstand the technology?\n\nThere could be a way through the dilemma, provided we looked at the side of what is more\ncommonly referred to as game theory. Game theory, I believe, is the best science we have of \nthe subjective experience, because it looks at behavior, but it also looks at behavior in small\ngroups. Game theory on the scale we expect blockchain tech to hit is going to be a completely\ndifferent 'ballgame,' since it will be the biggest game in history. Interoperability has been \nthrown around a lot lately, and I'd have to say it's probably our biggest challenge.\n\nCommunication between chains means small groups interacting with other small groups, or\nbig with small, or big with big, which will all have different incentives, and different\ncompatibility. If each individual group has a different rewards system, wouldn't behavior also\nneed to be accounted for in interoperability? For example, for a blockchain that runs a dApp \nfor an online decentralized service marketplace, communication with a different blockchain, \nlike a decentralized currency exchange, would mean one groups behaviors(like FUD selling)\naffects the other whenever there are periods of stress or abnormal activities. This can lead to \ninterchain manipulation. But what's worse than manipulation?\n\nAn article on a prototype learning program funded by Elon Musk surprised me the other day\nwhen they mentioned that the computer had learned to chase after rewards instead of\nwinning the race because of the parameters for rewards  designed for the AI. With the craze\nfor cryptocurrencies bringing out the pyramid/ponzi schemes in us, what if we made\nourselves a 'game' that pushes us to reinforce behaviors that go against our nature. How \nwould we know? How can we design for this?\n\nAnyone have any thoughts? I wonder if this is another aspect of blockchain tech that really\nneeds to be an iterative process, and to put less pressure on expectations for productivity\nright out of the gate.
