    Know Thyself through SKATEBOARDERS:

    I said I would occasionally resurface posts from last year, if I still found them relevant.

    I still believe in this one from 5/18/2025:

    Know Thyself Post #3

    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. When I remember feeling in these moments, I don’t recall anxiety. I remember being happy.

    What have YOU really focused on or willing to fail at throughout your life?

    WIBCI women weren’t historically persecuted for their CUNNING?

    Wouldn’t It Be Cool If people were celebrated equally independent of sexual organs?

    Throughout history successful, intelligent, and ingenious women have been oppressed for being better than men.

    If a woman uses the resources available to her to stand out, help others, earn excessive amounts of money, to have (dare I say it?) power = she must be destroyed. If this powerhouse also imbibes empathy and/or inspires the underprivileged to improve their lot in life = she and her memory must be annihilated.

    According to one website I found: “In the Bible, “cunning women” typically refers to those who use deception or manipulative skills to achieve their ends, often found in contexts highlighting moral corruption or societal decay. For example, in Ezekiel 13:17-23, they are depicted as false prophets leading others astray through their enchanting but deceitful practices.”

    So women who achieve ends must be considered, I mean, they can’t have just used their brains, there must be evil magic involved.

    This website is called Death of Hypatia® and is based on the coverup of her murder, one of the biggest snow jobs in history.

    Hypatia of Alexandria

    Her ideas of inclusion and equality got her killed, and killed in the most horrible of fashion because her ideas flew in the face of the end goal of Christianity. Cyril, the man most believe responsible for her assassination, became a saint. They said she was a witch. If you want to learn more about Hypatia, you are at the right website….

    A common practice for white men throughout history. The native Americans celebrated the healers and truth sayers of their tribes, they did not think they produced or were propelled by evil. It wasn’t until the Colonists came that ‘witches’ were burned at the stake on this continent.

    Leonora Dori of France was deemed a witch when this once courtier fell out of favor with the new man on the throne and was executed. She had way too much power and epilepsy and therefore ruined and killed.

    Joan of Arc:  ‘is a patron saint of France, honored as a defender of the French nation for her role in the siege of Orléans and her insistence on the coronation of Charles VII of France during the Hundred Years’ War. Stating that she acted under divine guidance, she became a military leader who gained recognition as a savior of France.’

    later she:

    ‘was put on trial by Bishop Pierre Cauchon on accusations of heresy, which included blaspheming by wearing men’s clothes, acting upon visions that were demonic, and refusing to submit her words and deeds to the judgment of the church. She was declared guilty and burned at the stake on 30 May 1431, aged about nineteen.’

    When she worked for the government, she was invincible, when she proved mortal, she was expendable.

    Think of all the women murdered throughout history for being better.

    Imagine all the better women who stayed in the shadows.

    Think of all we lost since we have yet to learn the lesson provided by the Death of Hypatia®

    WIBCI if the concept of Better For the Most was taken up by the ladies? Imagine allowing these glorious beasts off the bridal, of the places we would go.

    Know Thyself through your Sixth Sense:

    Many people believe that horses have a Sixth Sense, intuition. Apparently we have this sense too, but our world, our forms of communication, have overrun our ability to hone this sense and it has atrophied over time. Per SAMcef.org:

    Therefore, they (horses) listen a lot more, pay more attention, and are more aware of their surroundings.  They are more attuned to the energy around them and what’s happening around them.

    In the wild, that helps them tell if a predator is near or if the weather’s about to change. In our midst, it helps them assess our relationships with and attitudes towards them.

    In fact horses are so good at this that for the past 30+ years horses have been used in Equine-assisted therapy or EAT which has been known to help:

    Wikipedia: neurological diseases or disorders such as cerebral palsy, movement disorders, or balance problems. It is believed the rhythmical gait of a horse acts to move the rider’s pelvis in the same rotation and side-to-side movement that occurs when walking; the horse’s adjustable gait promotes riders to constantly adjust to encourage pelvic motion while promoting strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, posture, and mobility.

    EAT has also been used to treat other disabilities, such as autism, behavioral disorders and psychiatric disorders.

    EAT: Equine-assisted therapy (EAT) encompasses a range of treatments that involve activities with horses and other equines to promote human physical and mental health. Modern use of horses for mental health treatment dates to the 1990s. Systematic review of studies of EAT as applied to physical health date only to about 2007, and a lack of common terminology and standardization has caused problems with meta-analysis. 

    Horses have sixth sense just like we do.

    However, it’s normally a lot more intense than it is in humans. I believe this is because they don’t talk like we do — they aren’t always busy chit-chatting as we are.  Therefore, they listen a lot more, pay more attention, and are more aware of their surroundings.  They are more attuned to the energy around them and what’s happening around them.

    In the wild, that helps them tell if a predator is near or if the weather’s about to change. In our midst, it helps them assess our relationships with and attitudes towards them.

    In this post, I’ll be talking about a horse’s intuitiveness and how horses respond to humans’ emotions and energies. This should help you get an idea of how to build better relationships with the equines you work with.

    Isn’t that amazing? An animal, arguably simpler neurologically speaking than ourselves, but with the ability to read a room and  our feelings can get us humans to slow down, listen ourselves, and heal a bit?

    Why don’t YOU take a moment today to slow down and listen to yourself?… more “Know Thyself #153”

    WIBCI our Country STOOD FOR its EMBLEMS?

    Wouldn’t It Be Cool If our SYMBOLS gave the RIGHT impression?

    Per Wikipedia: The Great Seal of the United States: 

    is the seal of the United States of America. The phrase is used both for the impression device itself, which is kept by the United States secretary of state, and more generally for the impression it produces. The obverse of the Great Seal depicts the national coat of arms of the United States while the reverse features a truncated pyramid topped by an Eye of Providence. The year of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, 1776, is noted in Roman numerals at the base of the pyramid. The seal contains three Latin phrases: E Pluribus Unum (“Out of many, one“), Annuit cœptis (“He has favored our undertakings”), and Novus ordo seclorum (“A new order of the ages”).

    Largely designed by Charles Thomson, then secretary of the Continental Congress, and William Barton, and first used in 1782, the seal is used to authenticate certain documents issued by the federal government of the United States. Since 1935, both sides of the Great Seal have appeared on the reverse of the one-dollar bill. The coat of arms is used on official documents—including United States passports—military insignia, embassy placards, and various flags. The seal of the president is directly based on the Great Seal, and its elements are used in numerous government agency and state seals.

    ‘Out of many, one’, this is in direct reference to our basis in immigration. The fact that this symbol that should represent what is best about us is what the seal of the Pressie is based off of.

    We are this symbol and the impression it gave, gives, and will continue to give in the future. Think about the words, symbol, emblem, and impression. What does this seal embody? Does our current administration embody these traits?

    We should be accountable when we stray from this keystone of our country, at least that’s how I feel. YOU?… more “WIBCI Post #152”

    Know Thyself through REM

    This amazing song written by Michael Stipe in 1987 and to me, rings true today.

    Please listen to the song and read the lyrics as you go, and think what YOU think: It’s The End of The World

     

    “It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)”

    That’s great! It starts with an earthquake
    Birds and snakes, an aeroplane
    and Lenny Bruce is not afraid

    Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
    World serves its own needs, don’t mis-serve your own needs
    Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no strength
    The ladder starts to clatter with fear of height, down height
    Wire in a fire, representing seven games
    In a government for hire and a combat site
    Left of west and coming in a hurry
    With the furies breathing down your neck

    Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop
    Look at that low plane! Fine, then
    Uh oh, overflow, population, Common Food
    But it’ll do. Save yourself, serve yourself
    World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed
    Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right, right
    You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light
    Feeling pretty psyched

    It’s the end of the world as we know it
    It’s the end of the world as we know it
    It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

    Six o’clock. TV hour
    Don’t get caught in foreign tower
    Slash and burn, return
    Listen to yourself churn
    Lock him in uniform and book burning, bloodletting
    Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate
    Light a candle, light a votive
    Step down, step down
    Watch a heel crush, crush
    Uh oh, this means no fear; cavalier
    Renegade and steer clear!
    A tournament, a tournament
    A tournament of lies
    Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives
    And I decline

    It’s the end of the world as we know it
    It’s the end of the world as we know it
    (It’s time I had some time alone)
    It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine
    (It’s time I had some time alone)
    I feel fine

    It’s the end of the world as we know it
    (It’s time I had some time alone)
    It’s the end of the world as we know it
    (It’s time I had some time alone)
    It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine
    (It’s time I had some time alone)

    The other night I tripped a nice
    Continental drift divide
    Mountains sit in a line
    Leonard Bernstein, Leonid Brezhnev
    Lenny Bruce, and Lester Bangs
    Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly beans, boom!
    You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, but neck, right? (Right!)

    It’s the end of the world as we know it
    (It’s time I had some time alone)
    It’s the end of the world as we know it
    (It’s time I had some time alone)
    It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine
    (It’s time I had some time alone)

    WIBCI the advertisements (we are constantly bombarded with) weren’t created for the lowest common denominator?

    Wouldn’t It Be Cool if everything weren’t dripping with condescension and they understood we are not as stupid as they think we are/wish we were?

    I personally found the following ‘commercial’ insulting. I do not believe Americans need to the services provided by the following ‘firm’, nor do I believe vast swaths of Americans are unintelligent enough to find comfort and wish to employ anything shrouded in such patronizing language. You decide:

    This commercial for a ‘law firm’ is one continuous shot of a man that purposely speaks and looks very much like a parody version of Johnnie Cochran on some uppers with an unsettling mustache and hostile arm gestures. He is standing in-front of a poorly executed courtroom Greenscreen with red captioned lists that continue to aggressively splash across the screen.

    He begins:

    ‘If you were in an accident that wasn’t your fault, your favorite attorney has a message for you…” (red arrow on screen points to the caption stating the obvious that ‘the speaker is not a lawyer.’)

    “Collision? Calamity? Catastrophe?” (I believe I once thought alliteration a good thing, read on and you will see why this is no longer a conviction of mine)

    “Are you: innocent? Faultless? Above reproach? (the redundancy hurts my educated brain and anyone who believes they are, ever were, or will be above reproach is not good people, so let’s stop reinforcing entitlement, no?)

    “If you want money, you need an attorney.” (not justice, financial relief, or morale redemption…..no….just money)

    “You need a bulldog, but finding an attorney is: laborious, strenuous, stupefying.” (now you are pissing me off, please stop talking to all people)

    “That’s why you need to call the # on your screen now. They’ll connect you with a legal expert. You have questions, they have answers. They know: the legaleeze, the lingo, the jargon, and the argo.” (if they meant ergo, which means therefore, than they should have explained the pronunciation better to the actor and the closed caption writer. Alternatively, giving them no credit, I believe they just made up the word ‘argo’ which Webster only believes is a large former constellation in the southern hemisphere.)

    “They will tell you how much money your case could be worth: $300,000? $2,000,000, $86,491? All sorts of numbers.” (yeah, I know those are numbers, patronizing dick.)

    “Slips and fall, work accidents, car, truck, bus, motorcycle, motorbike, e-bike, tandem bike; these bulldogs will make sure people pay, and if you don’t get paid, the attorneys don’t get paid, and I don’t get paid. So I compel you, I implore you, I beseech you to pick up that phone and call now to see what your case could be worth.”

    Grrrr-oooosssss I’m insulted and feel dirty, what your case is WORTH?! Does this shit actually resonate with the American public at large? Can’t you see that they are aggressively making fun of the very people they wish to call and employ them?

    Know Thyself through LITERATURE:

    Steppenwolf, can you sadly relate? Part III:

    The finale in the triumvirate following;  Know Thyself #133. and Know Thyself #142.

    The two previous passages talked about regretting wasting your present and the sweet recollections of those amazing moments in your life, the times when you truly lived. To me the moments that are the whole point of living, the goal of our lives. The previous posts about the passage from Steppenwolf discussed how fleeting and far between these are, and I asked whether YOU related.

    Here is the concluding post, #3:

    continuing with the theme of ‘moments that will be remembered as those tender pictures in your mind’s eye’:

    ‘Once it happened, as I lay awake at night, that I suddenly spoke in verses, in verses so beautiful and strange that I did not venture to think of writing them down, and then in the morning they vanished; and yet they lay hidden within me like the hard kernel within an old brittle husk. Once it came to me while reading a poet, while pondering a thought of Descartes, of Pascal; again it shone out and drove its gold track far into the sky while I was in the presence of my beloved. Ah, but it is hard to find this track of the divine in the midst of this life we lead, in the besotted humdrum age of spiritual blindness, with its architecture, its business, its politics, and its men! How could I fail to be a lone wolf, and an uncouth hermit, as I did not share one of its aims nor understand one of its pleasures?’

     

    Ugh. And this is on page 30-something! I have discovered not only that I can sadly relate but also that I need to read Steppenwolf in doses….tis heavy.… more “Know Thyself #151”

    Know Thyself through LESS

    Simplicity clears the mind; kindness opens the door

    -May Sarton

     

    I’ve thought about this quote and I agree.

    Less is always more. The shorter the lists of worries and things to anguish over the better. I really like playing the drums, but I am not good at it. It is an incredibly difficult instrument, each of your four appendages is doing something different than the other three. For me, being somewhat decent requires complete and unbreakable focus. I cannot think about what I did or didn’t do, nor what I still need to do. I cannot think about the questionable tone someone took, how annoying the general public was, nor how terrible the world has become. Plus I get to bang on things. After an hour of doing this, I feel amazing, not just the high you get from exertion, but I feel clear, smart, alert; like I could ace a test. In those wonderful moments, I feel no malice, I do not covet what others have, I do not feel sorry for myself. I feel grateful and kind.

    WIBCI if HUMANS wrote all the magazine articles?

    Wouldn’t It Be Cool If AI stuck to calculating and quantifying and left human expression to the humans?

    On Jeopardy there was a category entitled: Two Word Magazine Names the ‘answer’ that appeared for 300 involved the naming of two supermodels, which of course gave away the ‘question’. While reflecting on how smart I am, I had one of those….wait, what was that moments and rewound. Listening to the entire ‘answer’ I found it quite disturbing, the part that said: ‘This magazine has been creating AI generated articles since 2023….’

    Um, come again?

    Sports Illustrated has been around since 1954. I would imagine its most important commodity are its journalists, those individuals who get personal, truly know the athletes, agents, family, friends, trainers, coaches, etc. The humans who have spoken with the greats in the sports world one-on-one over beers off the record, people who know what grandma’s meatballs taste like, people who were once athletes themselves and know why sports are important and need to be promoted, those with blood in their veins and thoughts in their head.

    Know Thyself through your LIKES and DISLIKES

    Per Wikipedia: Love on the Spectrum is an American reality television show. Based on the Australian show of the same name, it follows autistic cast members as they explore the dating world.

    You are introduced to a handful of autistic individuals looking for love. You meet each person documentary interview style and you learn quickly that they quite aware of who they are, what they do and do not like, and what they want their partner and future to look like. I was also impressed with the certainty that each one of them had a gift; the inability to lie.

    Point Autism.

    When each of them goes on a blind date, the audience meets them. You see them grinning on camera interspersed with a montage of images revealing their very specific likes and dislikes. And I mean specific. In the realm of…damn-you-REALLY-know-yourself specific. In fact, I was so fascinated by this bit that I watched every single episode and noted each blind date’s likes and dislikes which is in its entirety at the bottom of this post.

    I find that although these would not be at the top of MY list, I do agree with quite a few.

    For example I also LIKE: animals that eat with their hands, good vibes, walking on dry leaves, heavy metal music, the smell of roses, rubbing a dog’s belly, the smell of popcorn, the sound of pigeons, eating competitions, and opening presents.

    Likewise I concur and I DO NOT LIKE: clowns, styrofoam, clowns, aggressive birds, clowns, country music, clowns, celebrity obsession, clowns, people being rude to waitstaff, clowns, men wearing high shorts, clowns, people getting eaten in movies, or clowns.

    I find I’m not 100% in agreement as I cannot get on board with being psyched going to the dentist, rats, the smell of cow pastures, nor Nascar….and I DO like pineapple on pizza.

    What this exercise did do was try and get me to like my Love on the Spectrum-esque likes and dislikes and here is what I came up with:

    WIBCI Americans had more BALLS?

    Wouldn’t It Be Cool If more people were like Bruce Springsteen?

    The Boss was the musical guest on Stephen Colbert’s 2nd to last show (whose contract, after over a decade of ‘success’, was not renewed, allegedly due to political pressure aka people not having balls nor a sense of humor).

    “I am here in support tonight for Stephen, because you are the first guy in America who’s lost his show because we got a President who can’t take a joke. And because Larry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want. Anyway Stephen, these are small-minded people, they hot no idea what the freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about.

    This is for you.”

    Then Bruce Springsteen sang the only main stream fight song anyone of any generation has had enough balls to write under the current monarchal administration:

    The Streets of Minneapolis

    Through the winter’s ice and cold, down Nicollet Avenue
    A city aflame fought fire and ice ‘neath an occupier’s boots
    King Trump’s private army from the DHS, guns belted to their coats
    Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law or so their story goes

    Against smoke and rubber bullets, in the dawn’s early light
    Citizens stood for justice, their voices ringing through the night
    And there were bloody footprints where mercy should have stood
    And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets, Alex Pretti and Renee Good

    Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice singing through the bloody mist
    We’ll take our stand for this land and the stranger in our midst
    Here in our home they killed and roamed in the winter of ’26
    We’ll remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis

    Trump’s federal thugs beat up on his face and his chest
    Then we heard the gunshots and Alex Pretti lay in the snow dead
    Their claim was self-defense, sir, just don’t believe your eyes
    It’s our blood and bones and these whistles and phones against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies

    Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice crying through the bloody mist
    We’ll remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis

    Now they say they’re here to uphold the law but they trample on our rights
    If your skin is black or brown my friend you can be questioned or deported on sight
    In our chants of “ICE out now!” our city’s heart and soul persists
    Through broken glass and bloody tears on the streets of Minneapolis

    Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice singing through the bloody mist
    Here in our home they killed and roamed in the winter of ’26
    We’ll take our stand for this land and the stranger in our midst
    We’ll remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis
    We’ll remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis

    WIBCI we celebrated our own MILESTONES

    Wouldn’t It Be Cool If we recognized not just where we are, but where we started?

    It is one year today since I began blogging, this was the official launch of Deathofhypatia.com, and I have since successfully trademarked both the name and the logo since its online inception.

    Therefore I’m going to try something new in year 2, this year’s blog posts MAY include a look back at last years, aka year 1’s posts. Of course this will only be in practice if A) I do not have a new and burning subject to blog about and/or B) last year’s post was leaning towards lame. *Note, I of course can only do this because the world, without the aid of social media, has yet to become acquainted with this website and therefore no one will tire of a recap of what wasn’t read to begin with:)

    Therefore in honor of our anniversary, below are the first posts for both WIBCI and Know Thyself:

      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”

      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 your sense of ENOUGH:

    Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough.

    -Melody Beattie

    Enough is a big word in the Death of Hypatia world. Realizing this concept is a cornerstone of all I’m asking you to think about.

    Per the Dictionary; ENOUGH: /ee–nuhf/adj/:

    1. adequate for the want or need; sufficient for the purpose or to satisfy desire.

    What positive things do YOU have enough of in your life?
