In his abode, Lord Byron kept: “Eight enormous dogs, three monkeys, five cats, an eagle, a crow, and a falcon” http://neuroticpoets.com/byron/ That was in addition to 10 bloody horses! All those pets (minus the horses) roamed freely throughout the house! Obviously Byron liked animals and the companionship and the ability to observe natural fauna in [...] Something spectacular occurred to me after a few hours of meticulous frustration. I was touching up a portion of my material_items_all list and got stuck on a hygiene component. Specifically a hygiene-travel items. I looked up exactly what was the TSA aviation regulation for non-flammable fluids and, appealing to a precise side of me, was [...] This is easily one of the most important posts (out of over 500) that I have ever written and recorded. As someone who has suffered from chronic indecision and the consequential doubt and incapacitation caused by indecision, this is one of my most personally helpful posts, but anyone will benefit from this. Even if you [...] Disclaimer: I felt it necessary to include this Disclaimer. If you consider yourself to have a modicum of faith in any religion, there exists a high degree of certainty (almost a guarantee) that this and other “Atheism For The Win” posts will either decrease your faith or make you angry. That is not my intention. [...] What’s in store for you in this post: factoids about the boat that transported English Separatists to “America” in the early 17th century details about the inventors of major forms of temperature measurement some interesting rants of ideological evolution finally, the original intention, a mnemonically-helpful presentation of a mathematical formula enabling smooth conversion between the [...] “In the Middle Ages, the time served apprentice went off as a journeyman to gain experience with a number of masters, and then settled down under one master he got on with. Here he would produce his masterpiece – literally, the piece of work that proved he was a master. This recognised by the Guild, [...] [audio: http://www.validateyourlife.com/vylab/vylab_20110823_emotionsnotfunnyekman.mp3] 45:32 Edify on the go! I was going to start by writing that “emotions are funny things”, something trivial, nuanced, minimizing the impact of emotions. But emotions are not funny things. They’re very serious and trivializing them would be like scoffing at an oncoming car while you’re in the middle of the rooad. [...] [audio: http://www.validateyourlife.com/vylab/vylab_20110816_wholisticdoctor.mp3] Edify on the go! The aim and fulfilment of discovering name, identity, and home is a journey only done by the heroic. I identify myself as a preventive wholistic doctor (some people would call me a productivity coach, however, and, indeed, I am a Certified Professional Coach). Back to the preventic wholistic [...] Edify on the Go! Listen to this post in audio blog format. [audio: http://66.147.244.55/~validat8/vylab/vylab_20110614_twotypesoflearning.mp3] or feel free to download this post for later listening at your convenience. There exist two types of learning: learning to understand more of what you don’t know learning that increases awareness of what you don’t know, making you aware of [...] When we create a capacity for knowing ourselves –how we operate and function — we create sincerity about who we really are, and this self-knowledge allows us to apply ourselves with greater vehemence. Science-fiction writer, Douglas Adams points out that we find our images of what we call evil things outside ourselves, in creatures that [...] There are a lot of films these days about altered time, altered reality, and altered identity. Most of the “new genre”, “new theme” films are entering that territory. Regardless of the quality of the film (many of these I have not and never will see, but they are examples): Inception (2010)– entering dreams Source code [...] Introduction I have experimented with polyphaisc, and modified sleep patterns for years. Am interested in structuring that. The longest I’ve stayed up consistently was 85 hours in October 2009. I was doing something quasi-dangerous so that necessitated focus which kept me alert, which kept me up. But I usually just stay up and then [...] I just found this rummaging through an old drawer of room in which I spend some of my fondest childhood summers in Michigan. It was a valentine’s card from my dad to me. I must’ve been about 11? (12? 13? Hopefully not 14 or older!) judging by my writing. What’s funny is This list was [...] I don’t really like focusing on celebrity hype but with the Charlie Sheen thing blowing up I thought I’d share a story of a name-change. And unlike celebrity gossip, name-change stories actually do interest me (although exceedingly not as much as neuroscience, NLP, and other scientific topics). To be clear, the core of this post [...] Computers are freedom for me. I love computers. More specifically, I love programming languages. Even more specifically, I love python. I love how each little symbol is so precise and communicates precisely and that precision is vital for properly-working code. Those symbols of the coding language get instantly interpreted and, you write and communicate [...] Okay 27 seems freakishly older than 26. Not sure why. 3 cubed, half-way between 25 and 30? But it does. Strange how, say, for example, 10 and 20 are years where you want age to accelerate. Finally, 10! Finally 16! and the like, but for 30 and up it seems to have the reverse effect. [...] I just experienced a bit of the old “spiritual chakra” asault of beliefs. I just look at those as NOTHING spiritual but different visualization techniques to effect balance, sense of control, and movement of body and physiological alignment. I feel a lot of my life and focus went to being distracted with chakra junk [...]
I love logic. I won’t ramble on about how much I love logic (there will likely be future posts on this), but I love logic. In logic, mathematicians love contradictions because when a contradiction arises it means something doesn’t work, something must be tweaked and made “correct” and thus contradiction produces a [...]
I just had a coaching session as part of my certification. I didn’t mind the client; he was really upbeat and had a decent structure. Strangely, the few times where there were telecommunicatio ndiffucltes and he couldnt’ understand a word I was saying or I couldn’t understand a few words he was [...]
Bloody hell I can’t wait until Derren Brown’s next book. Kindle version (I don’t buy paper-based books anymore…long story but a good one — saves trees, saves space, saves storage room ,saves shipping costs, easier to organize, etc) comes out oct. 14. Seems like ages away!! I listen and relisten to the [...]
Going all Vegan with Intellectual Subjects I LOVE Eating Vegan. So much more digestive time for the foods I enjoy, savor, and that are healthiest. Best [...] I’ve given this a tremendous amount of thought. No, more. I’ve written chapters in books to this topic. No…More. I’ve devoted many years of my life to interacting with people and trying to treat all people as equal of equal intelligence. My mantra, rubric, guideline, personal manifesto, what have you, was something along the [...] — September 12, 2009 — 3:49 AM DISCOVERED PARKOUR. LOOKS Sooooooooooooo RAd. Agility, Gymnatisc, alacrity, intelligence, obstacle overcoming, Running RAD RAD RAD!!!!!! French terminology. bRiLLIANt. It’s agility. ALL my favorite video games. prince of persia all the games are like free running and parkour. The French terminolgy is brilliant. this is an intelligent discipline. It [...] I am not you, and you are not me. That is the way things are. I like that. As you ponder that, let me explain to you why I find tremendous value in that distinction. Distinctions create boundaries. Without distinctions, everything would be porous and absorbing this information or that information would generate confusion. [...] |
