Controlled breathing has me carefully managing the beginning of an in-breath, then letting go in the middle, then again paying close attention at the end of the in-breath (same in the out-breath, btw).

I wonder if that pattern expands to all cyclical processes: that the beginnings and endings, when things are slowly accelerating or decelerating, are the moments where more careful form needs to be ensured, while the middle section is to let oneself go.

A day, for instance: carefully starting it, carefully ending it, but letting it carry you during the mid-section.

On even physical exercise where one needs to put some reps: carefully execute the first ones, then letting go, then carefully executing the last ones.

Rewatched E.T. with Fer for the first time, and only this time the religious Christian symbolism was so obvious to me.

Cries Elliott while ET is dying to save him. A being coming from another world, that establishes a deep bond with us (in the flesh of Elliott, with whom we all relate to), that dies for us and then resurrects, only to go back in ascension, leaving us forever touched by his love and compassion.

Yes, surely an allegory that the authors never consciously tried to achieve, but resulted anyway.

I see ultimately two schools of thought: one that ascribes to reason, that believes that our default mode of decision is based on biased tendencies, that our gut is unreliable; the other believes in an inner capacity that goes beyond reason, that presents itself as unquestionable truths, but that cannot be harnessed at will, but by a deep sense of awareness and connection.

Contrast all this clenching and grasping with the spirit of the Japanese tea ceremony, in which the exquisite precision of the ritual is meant to articulate the absolutely unrepeatable, unhoardable nature of the moment in which it takes place.

From Oliver Burkeman in The Imperfectionist

The idea of an experience that is unrepeatable, must be enjoyed in the moment. How far is this from a digital reproduction.

That exploration of death, god, belief and life. The scene where the knight talks about the sensory delights of this world, wondering if that’s all there is, and realizing it’d more than enough.

The capacity of the brain to integrate experience in a subconscious way is far more powerful than it’s capacity to figure something out consciously.

Action is more powerful than thought.

Guilt is feeling that you did something wrong.
Shame is feeling that there’s something wrong with who you are.
Never feel shame.

What matters is the experience of being alive, what else? The intellect will restrain us in many ways; emotion makes living life intense, vibrant. Isn’t that what this is all about?

How is ChatGPT, or AI in general, useful in the validation of hypothesis?

I find myself lately coming up with ideas and asking AI for some validation.

This looks like an interesting distinction of AI versus human intelligence. It seems we’re today waaaay better at imagining possibilities, but AI is waaaaay better at crunching over massive amounts of data to validate the logic of the idea.

Inclusiveness is about abstracting the details to find the fundamental and common. When inclusiveness is about classifying all possible variations of something it becomes divisive and tiring.

There is not a single path. One helps you understand. The other helps you contribute. One must grow in both directions. Stretch oneself larger.

Looking for a more intentional use of devices, I’ve deleted all apps. The point now is I’ve lost sight of the possibilities. Are possibilities good or bad? Serendipity: “ah, I could do this!”. But also mindless triggering of thoughts and FOMO.

I’m going to intentionally lose sight of possibilities.

1. Become aware of your block.
2. Accept it. It’s ok.
3. Sit still. Observe it. Eventually: clarity.
4. Act with precision. Slowly. Taking care of every detail.
5. Be patient and keep going.

Perhaps the WHAT stems from the HOW. WHAT we do is a factor of HOW we are in this world. If I focus on HOW I am, perhaps the WHAT will take care of itself.

How lucky am I to live in a country where “I believe” and “I create” are said is the same way!

We will be ok to act following the instructions of an IA, as long as we feel we’re in control of the target we set it to achieve in the first place.

Is there a case for digital/analog interplay? Seamless, easy, the best of both worlds. Transition should be very transparent, almost magical.

Isn’t a computer a bunch of simple transistors easily reconfigurable allowing for emergent behavior on information? The programming language is our way to easily reconfigure those transistors. It turns into instructions in the processor, those instructions being the building blocks.

A computer conforms to the complex adaptive system pattern, a bunch of smaller components that are easily reconfigurable, creating the conditions for emergent behavior.

Ideas feed on the fire of their confrontation with other ideas.

When the confrontation is extinguished, they decay.

Any friction we experience is mentally induced and self-inflicted.

I can decide to remove it. It’s just a decision.

As we become receptive to more stimuli, through the development of presence and attention, our worldview changes, expands and becomes more inclusive.

This is obvious when observing children’s growth, but even at our level it’s true.

—Tú eres patriota globalista.
—¿Tienes un tag para todo?
—No sé… se llama hablar.

Everybody is teaching us something if we are open to learning.

Treat digital tools as more ephemeral and abstract and idealistic… heavenly.

Analog tools are the tangible, concrete permanent manifestation on earth.

Note taking tools, calendars and tasks. Hybrid system, analog and digital. But analog is the main tool, digital is the assistant. Digital is the archive, it’s the searchable. Analog is the authoring tool, the golden source.

Worldviews also evolve as our understanding increases and our consciousness develop. a realization can literally change the world. We realize by observing, experiencing and reflecting.

Japan’s love for less / small / few might be associated with cutting losses. One way or another, “just enough” is more valued than “just in case”, and that is a mindset worth considering.

Here’s how director Steven Soderbergh describes stealing like an artist: “Just looking at something and going, I like that, and then trying to break down, why do I like that? What is it about that… that I like? What do I steal? What can I repurpose or tweak to make it fit what we’re trying to do? It’s just homework, and the best part of this job is that your homework is watching great movies.”

the power of a system comes more from the relationships among components than from the components themselves

The Unix philosophy is documented by Doug McIlroy in the Bell System Technical Journal from 1978:

1. Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new “features”.
2. Expect the output of every program to become the input to another, as yet unknown, program. Don’t clutter output with extraneous information. Avoid stringently columnar or binary input formats. Don’t insist on interactive input.
3. Design and build software, even operating systems, to be tried early, ideally within weeks. Don’t hesitate to throw away the clumsy parts and rebuild them.
4. Use tools in preference to unskilled help to lighten a programming task, even if you have to detour to build the tools and expect to throw some of them out after you’ve finished using them. (investing time in the right tools can save effort and increase the quality of the work, even if it requires some upfront investment and the tools are not reusable)

One of the things I keep noting is how much athletes talk about not-thinking when they’re at play.

“I have to focus on not thinking,” says Biles.

“If you think about a trick, sometimes it makes it harder,” says skateboarder Minna Stess.

“When I’m skating, the best thing is to not think at all.” Pommel horse champ Stephen Nedorosciktakes off his glasses when he performs: “It’s all about feeling the equipment. I don’t even really see when I’m doing my gymnastics. It’s all in the hands— I can feel everything.”

1. Write 10 goals.
2. Choose the one that would have a bigger impact in your life.
3. Transfer to a blank sheet of paper.
4. Deadline
5. Do a list of everything you have to do to accomplish it.
6. Do something everyday

when one takes a sentence of Coleridge into the mind, it explodes and gives birth to all kinds of other ideas, and that is the only sort of writing of which one can say that it has the secret of perpetual life.

//something to aspire to

 ”Time seems to speed up as you get older. And you wonder—is it biological, or is it because life had more novelty when you were a child? Travel partly answers this question—with more novelty, time slows way down again.”

//It's all about attention priming… with novelty comes stimuli and stimuli triggers attention. Where more alive then.

In the sphere of the mind (noosphere), it is attention that makes something exist or not, grow or disappear.

“The purpose of life is life itself:
to live it at full stride,
to uncover and follow its patterns,
and to ride them in developing our full potential.”

This idea of two way will: inward and outward.

Inward will means the will to do what is best for me, to take care of one self, to be better.

Outward means to do what is needed to achieve your goals and contribute in this world the way you want.

To take care of oneself is a matter of: body, mind, energy, attention.

To contribute is to know what you want to do here and why.

“Anything you do to optimize your work, cut some corners, or squeeze more ‘efficiency’ out of it (and out of your life) will eventually make you dislike it.”

from Taleb’s _Skin In The Game_

The idea of working linearly. You take one direction and just execute in it.

Examples:

• Edit pages in order, trying to bring each to closure instead of leaving stuff for another pass.
• Clean a surface from left to right, instead of by category.

This way, you minimize thinking time and all your focus is on execution. Otherwise, your mind is prioritizing work and the moment I let my mind prioritize, it tricks me into thinking and not doing.

I shall get up Sunday morning and wind the clock, as a contribution to order and steadfastness.

The apparent opposition of the tangible and the conceptual. Mishima found this out and decided to set worlds apart. He would pursue mastery in the world of corrosive words as much as he would achieve mastery over his body, the highest expression of the tangible world.

I think there’s something about consciousness hidden in this dichotomy. Consciousness is the bridge between the two. Between the reductionist power of reason and the unattainable expanse of the tangible. We want to experience fully but we also want to achieve.

When you’re playing a point, it is the most important thing in the world.

It’s like, you really want GOOD things, and then you want those things to be well taken care of, and have their place, and let them give you that sense of possibility.

For all this to work you really need to have very FEW things.

If keeping things in order is a key principle of how you want to live, then either:

• you have few things, or
• a lot of time, or
• a great system.

Probably the 3.

HOW you do things is far more important than WHAT you do.

HOW should we do things, then?

In the best way possible. Not half assed. Not in a distracted way. Not good enough. As good as you can possibly can. Better than that.

The idea of editing chronologically is related to the idea of “make and move on”. It means, I don’t have time to look back, once something is good enough, he moves on.

Should I do the same in the post?

HOW we do things is way more significant than WHAT we do.

What you do can succeed or fail. One way or another, it’s a fleeting event.

How you do it has a permanent quality to it. It endures time and builds on itself.

HOW we do things is way more significant than WHAT we do.

How does one respond to our incapacity to understand human nature?

There’s a certain timing for reviewing.
It’s not immediate.
It’s not the next day.
It’s more like

one week

after you’ve written the none.

The image that you project into the world
influences your environment,
and your environment influences your worldview,
and your worldview influences the way you act.

It’s a powerful feedback loop.

The only value in capturing anything (notes, photos, book highlights) is in reviewing them.

If I don’t review my notes, I could as well not have taken them (there’s an imprint in memory though).

But I don’t set out time to review, though. Reviewing never seems like an urgent/important thing to do. Capture something else seems always a better option. Just like re-reading a book never feels the best thing to do, when there are so many good books I haven’t read.

This is wrong. Reviewing | rereading | rewatching something that has already resonated should take priority.

How to create an environment that treats reviewing old things as a priority in a world that offers you so many good new things?

“my hunch is that really knowing what you like makes you less worried about being liked or likable, which frees you up in your work.”
—Austin Kleon

“Unfortunately you are at the bottom of the food chain here.”

Sam Harris, in his interview with Robert Sapolsky, talks about the very different life that naturally beautiful people live. If you have won the genetic lottery and are naturally beautiful, the world around you reacts in a very different way: people seek your attention, people want to be liked by you, people are nice to you. The environment that you live in is a very different one, and inevitably it must impact your worldview.

That got me thinking. You might not be naturally beautiful, but you certainly can project a certain image into the world, and the image that you project will influence your environment, and that environment will influence your worldview.

If you get it right, this cycle can bring good into the world and into you and into the world and into you.

A stack is not a list. In the stack, the elements on top rely on the elements right below themselves for lower level functions.

Best example of a stack, as always, is the OSI model (Open Systems Interconnection):

• Application: High-level protocols such as for resource sharing or remote file access, e.g. HTTP.
• Presentation: Translation of data between a networking service and an application; including character encoding, data compression and encryption/decryption.
• Session: Managing communication sessions “Session (computer science)”), i.e., continuous exchange of information in the form of multiple back-and-forth transmissions between two nodes.
• Transport: Reliable transmission of data segments between points on a network, including segmentation, acknowledgement “Acknowledgement (data networks)”) and multiplexing.
• Network: Structuring and managing a multi-node network, including addressing, routing and traffic control.
• Data link: Transmission of data frames between two nodes connected by a physical layer.
• Physical: Transmission and reception of raw bit streams over a physical medium.

The trace of a calligrapher takes a second to execute but it’s imbued with thousands of hours of practice. We enjoy the things that are produced with grace and mastery, even when they are done in seconds?

Osmo Wiio was a Finnish researcher of human communication. His laws of communication are the human communications equivalent of Murphy’s Laws.

Wiio’s laws state…

• If communication can fail, it will.
• If a message can be understood in different ways, it will be understood in just that way which does the most harm.
• There is always somebody who knows better than you what you meant by your message.
• The more communication there is, the more difficult it is for communication to succeed.

And I particularly like his observation that anytime there are two people conversing, there are actually six people in the conversation:

1. Who you think you are
2. Who you think the other person is
3. Who you think the other person thinks you are
4. Who the other person thinks they are
5. Who the other person thinks you are
6. Who the other person thinks you think they are.

I’d say he’s spot on across the board.

What to do with a conscious mind and no free will?

Seek the right stimuli, I guess.

The right stimuli for what? For development, for growth, for enlargement, for expansion. (I’m missing the right term here… Utöka, in Swedish?)

Purpose is that which connects you with the outside, in a transaction where you give something valuable and it rewards you deeply.

Possibility is that which expands your boundaries.

While aum chanting, I need to count seven chants. On the third one: “I’m on number three, four more to go, next one will the the four, with only three left.”

By the time I start the fourth one: “Am I on three or four? Or am I on five because the previous one was four?”

Keeping the count would have been so easy as to just think: “I’m on three”, and keep it there. But no, I start making calculations, anticipating the future, making assumptions… creating a mess in my head.

I feel the secret to stop overthinking is trust. Trust that, when the moment comes, you will know what is needed. When you stop trusting, you start anticipating, and then you mix present with future and create a mess.

What a simple lesson to stay present: “I’m on three”.

The utilitarian nature of an artifact doesn’t deprive it from its artistic opportunities. Actually, it is quite the opposite. The fact that we use something constantly for a certain purpose creates an opportunity for creativity and expression. We can bring enhanced qualities to the act of using a tool. That’s how designers of pens, chair or tables earn their bread.

There seems to be a space of opportunity for knowledge workers tools, like TODO apps, notes apps, calendars, kanbans, project management tools… to evolve in this direction.

Tangible Thought. The need to manifest our thoughts in this world.

Only through the materialization of ideas one can manipulate them, transform them, combine, destroy.

What is that physical form? Notes on paper? Drawings on the wall? Post-its on a table? Index cards on boxes?

Bulletin boards, mood boards, police boards.

What is the act of manipulating them? Moving, connecting, reshaping…

Digital ideas come to us as light. Ephemeral, incorporeal, unable to be grasped in a literal way—perhaps in a conceptual way also. They lack something, they are not fully born.

3. Clarity to know what we’re intending to produce.

At the beginning of a meditation session, I adopt a good posture with my spine erect. Then after a few minutes I find I lost it and need to straighten up again. Why is that happening?

I think the breath acts likes waves on rocks, eroding the tight structures and bringing them to the point of least resistance.

Three things from this:

One, nothing is static in this universe, everything is in constant movement.

Two, that movement carries within the power to dissolve.

Three, keeping form, keeping geometry, becomes a daily effort, a constant struggle, an endless exercise of will and presence.

Scribbles are more powerful to engage an audience in an idea.

They abstract the details and create a space for involvement, where the actual implementation of the idea is for them to land.

Our surface of possibility is that frontier between what we are and what we could be, a space that is immediately available for us to take.

Our life’s work is to increase the surface of possibility.

That is achieved by the simple act of occupying that space, through our continuous commitment to become.

2. Open timeframe

And it kills me. I end up in a rabbit hole of one thing after another, feeling frustrated because I don’t see an end, and losing track of time.

So my conclusion is that tasks cannot be double-open. Either I set a target—*“Install neovim”—, or a timeframe—“set up the work environment for 20 minutes”*.
