The human’s natural fear of snakes is roughly the same as the natural fear of mushrooms, you can’t easily tell the dangerous from the benign. Modern society is becoming much the same, you cannot tell the dangerous from the benign. We are in danger if we cannot figure it out.

Another painting. Bob Ross inspired me on this one.

I’m listening to “Living in a Mindful Universe” by Eben Alexander the NDE survivor. I think he is making a good description of how science and spirituality can come together through quantum physics. And maybe we are tracking towards a fusion of the two.

I’m a dinosaur at 48, but for anthropological reasons I suggest everyone listen to “Nutshell” by Alice In Chains. It explains the existential angst of GenX and the seeds of what lead to our current mental health crisis.

What if when you die all that happens is you take off a super sophisticated VR headset and your friends say “bro, how was the game?”

I don’t really know what Bluesky is for politically but I’d really like to meet people here who are interested in spirituality and learning about the cosmos and new discoveries in quantum physics and things like that. This world has disappointed me beyond redemption.

For anyone who might be interested in binaural beats, I’ve discovered my favorite yet. Sacred Acoustics is heavily recommended by Eben Alexander the neuroscientist who had a detailed NDE and discovered binaural beats after as therapy.

Know how AI could make the world a better place? Have it find a way to deliver letters to people from our past we can’t track down to say things we’ve wanted to say for years. I have so many things to say to my past. Apologies mostly.

Dogwood flower. Down south they only bloom about two weeks a year and the world erupts in a highlighting of white that almost reminds you of winter Christmas decorations.

Orange flower.

Wild potato flower. It’s a common roadside weed but is a commonly used wild edible by a lot of people. It has potato like roots. They are pretty good but hard to dig up. Kept many Confederate soldiers alive as they walked to wherever home was after the civil war.

For anyone interested in meditation but wants a cheat code, try binaural beats. It’s gaining popularity but HemiSync from the Monroe institute is the original. It doesn’t replace meditation but is a bit of a cheat code to see what deep meditation can do but doesn’t last like meditation.

I recently became a stepdad to two youngish boys. I also have a teenaged biological kid. Being a stepdad is about 10x harder than being a real dad. When you see someone that is an involved, active stepparent trying to be a good mom or dad for the kid, remember there are no accidental step kids.

There’s so much debate between religious people and atheists on the internet. I’m interested in how many people out there are really deeply spiritual but don’t subscribe to any particular religion completely.
