Happiness is a state of mind? Cultivate a positive outlook on life. It's not about what you do, it's about how you do it. It's not about what you have or want, it's about what it means to you. It's not about what you experience, it's about the people you experience it with.

Hearing the clock ticking. History unfolds. What can I affect? Small neuron in a big brain. Actions ripple through spacetime. Liebe deinen Nächsten wie dich selbst.

Let go of the distractions. Ponder what's important. Give meaning to ordinary things. Find gratitude and take agency. Make your inner child proud of what it has become.

No need to write anything. Other things are more important. Time to write is a gift. I'm grateful for that. It calms the mind. With every sentence comes more clarity. On to the next.

Get still for the mental fog to clear. Words emerge to form the next sentence. Enjoy the process. The blinking cursor is patient. Observe your surroundings. It will reveal your next task. Get still whenever needed.

Liebe deinen Nächsten wie dich selbst. We may do as we please, but we do crave for love.

If an AI is average at a task, then it's a great tool for people below average, a direct competitor for average practitioners and maybe a useful tool to increase productivity for people above average. I believe this holds for tasks like writing, coding, drawing, and other applications of generative AI. So I think it's a good strategy to be jack of all trades (below average) and master of one (above average). Like a T shape, shallow but wide and narrow but deep. #AI #career

Is it possible to have private groups in Nostr? Most of my life is neither purely personal nor all-out public. There are DMs for a start, but is something like groupchat possible?

Hello again 🤗 Have a nice christmas season everyone ☃️

Back on plebstr, tried Damus but for some reason I can't articulate I don't really like it.

What is wireheading? It's a shortcut of a reward function. I get pleasure from sex because evolution favors reproduction. Porn is a shortcut. I like sweet tastes because fruits, honey and milk give instant energy. Sweets are a shortcut. I like to go on an adventure because it promises new resources. Gaming is a shortcut. I seek new information to better socialize. TikTok is a shortcut. This are "is" statements, I don't want to derive "ought" statements in general. But for myself I don't like wireheading. They feel like vulnerabilities of the brain that can be exploited far too easily. The reason for wireheading seems also multi-causal. I lack discipline, financial incentives make these shortcuts lukrative for providers, societal norms can make it hard to resist some of these shortcuts. But I want to be aware of them. Reduce their grip on my life. Having agency over my behavior. Posting these notes is probably also a shortcut for socializing. But so far I like it as an addition. Same goes for some of the other shortcuts. Again, I don't want to derive general "ought" statements. So I wish you agency and independence to live your life to your liking. Thanks for reading.

Fuck yeah. Off duty. Chill-out. Time for me and myself. The enjoyment I get is correlated to the rarity of these moments. All time no duty - a life of pointless vegetation. It's not the meaning of life. But appropriate duties keep me healthy. They give enjoyment to relaxation. So cheers to everyone who can relax and kudos to everyone who's on the job.

You may call it fat, I call it cold storage. 🤓

In a world of generative AI that is only limited by the imagination of the prompt, the key skill is to focus and keeping a clear mind.
