    Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:

    Look at YOUR Art:

    Try this: walk around wherever you call home, find a picture/painting/piece of art hanging on the wall, and go look at it…..Really look at it. Take minutes doing this. Sit down and look at it from a distance and then go right up to it and look at its minutiae.

    Do YOU like it?

    Where did it come from?

    What does it mean to YOU/why is it hanging in your home?

    What does it say about YOU?

    What does it make YOU feel?… more “Know Thyself Post #4”

    Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:

    Skateboarders…..

    I think kids that learned/are learning to skateboard are Better.

    They spend hours trying, watching, learning, and most importantly failing.

    Just because they want to.

    I’m impressed by the focus and fearlessness that is necessary to get good at something that physically hurts and takes a LOT of time.

    If I were ever interviewing someone, I would ask them to name something they spent a lot of time doing when they were young. Points would go to the skateboarders.

    You have proven focus and aren’t afraid of failing.

    I’d hire you.

    Makes me think of the things I really focused on throughout my life. Like go-to-bed-waking-up-obsessed-with kind of focus. I don’t remember feeling anxious. I remember being happy.

    What have YOU really focused on throughout your life?

    Skateboarders Rule

    Wouldn’t It Be Cool If Billionaires left us alone more?

    WIBCI: Insurance companies stopped constantly advertising to us? Seriously, if you start to notice, it will boggle your mind, and I apologize.

    Insurance Companies: Please stop interrupting my entertainment to remind me of your company.

    Why not spend the $ your use to sponsor EVERYTHING and spend it on denied insurance claims? That is your purpose right, to insure the lives of people? Why does your purpose seem to be ‘smoke em if you got em’?

    I think insurance companies doing what they were purported to do would be Better for the Most.

    Insurance companies seem to suck

    Wouldn’t It Be Cool If we learned from LITERATURE?:

    WIBCI: AI only did things AI is better than humans at?

    AI should be doing computation and calculation, but that’s about it in my opinion.

    AI could be compared to Big Brother from George Orwell’s 1984, no? When all creativity and individuality was sucked out of human existence and everything was grey, how did that work out?

    I think it would be Better for the Most if we left some things to the humans, forever:

    • Art: REALLY? Art is pain, sweat, tears and emotions. It is the way someone screamed out what was going on inside them. Computers can not do this. If AI creating anything that ‘represents’ you, please replace it with something that came from the mind/fingers/soul of a person. AI will definitely end up charging you down the line, just wait and see….
    • Music: I can’t even.
    • Writing Books: Kill me. Books are the only thing out there uninterrupted by the rest of the world’s opinions, that you can start and stop at any time without commercial interruption. Where YOU picture the characters, admire who YOU want and learn more about yourself, unabated. Can you imagine what a world would be like if only computers wrote books?!
    • Communicating FOR YOU?: Are you, for real, so lazy that you can’t write emails by yourself, take notes in a meeting, or write your own resume/paper/blog post? It is YOU that you are offering the world, correct? Aren’t YOU the best representative of you? If AI is writing/reading/taking notes on anything FOR you, how do you get better at these essential life skills? Do you have to act like and become ‘AI You’ more and more…..that sounds sucky.
    • Customer Service: Humans BARELY do this job well, bots BLOW.
      • COMPANIES, I’m speaking directly to you: I believe it would be Better for the Most, that, if you provide the public a service, you use a human to support that service. AI is very terrible at customer service. It is like companies have a new toy….’AI! Wow, I have no idea really what it is, nor understand the repercussions to humanity and it actually makes my company’s customer experience worse….WOO HOO….sign me up!’

    Please stop, or at least show on your website the % of your customer service that is represented by AI.

    AI is Stupid.

    Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:

    Ever notice when you are in a car waiting to take a left, the oncoming traffic often speeds up (front of the car goes down on acceleration), like they wish to hit you?!

    Is this truly the goal?  Would the oncoming driver prefer to hit you, than have to slow down? Perhaps the intention is to intimidate you to not dare occupy the space in front of them? Don’t YOU know who THEY are?!

    Seems to me, they are dicks.

    Next time you are driving, see if ‘they’ do this.

    Better yet. Notice if YOU do this…

    Wouldn’t It Be Cool If BILLIONAIRES had souls?:

    WIBCI: The Billionaire that owns the largest online retailer and shipping outfit in the US (the fourth richest man in the world), partnered with the Billionaire that owns a US electric car company (the richest man in the world) – and converted the largest US shipping fleet of vehicles to ones that didn’t pollute our environment, you know the kind the richest man in the world makes?

    I think that would be Better for the Most

    Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:

    I believe Focus is Key.

    Try this: Take a walk. Go outside if possible. Focus on consciously utilizing all five of your toes with each step you take.

    How is YOUR posture? Are YOUR shoulders up and scrunched or down and back like your shoulder blades could almost touch?

    If not, try and correct this consciously…. have you noticed how you can actually just tell your body what to do? You can actually make yourself taller, try it.

    Do YOU feel more in control?

    Imagine focusing like this on everything YOU do. What do YOU Think?

    Multi-tasking sucks.… more “Know Thyself Post #1”
