  • Understanding AI Psychosis – A Reality Check

    AI psychosis is in the news. Apart from those predisposed to it, delusional thinking can affect otherwise healthy individuals but doesn’t have to. Scrutinize your beliefs, apply critical thinking – be wake, not asleep.

  • In fine form

    When busy work takes over, you can lose touch. Good for flow and hyper productivity but there are downsides. Check in on yourself. Writing helps – like I’m doing here. Attitude is key; fight for your passion but don’t deceive yourself. Have a fine day! I’ve experienced equal parts of this state recently. This post…

  • The perils of overdoing and an ode to being

    This is also an ode to human ingenuity, sense making, mindfulness and critical thinking. Especially at this time of year and point in time. This time of year being post festive season and holidays. When you have hopefully de-stressed from the past year’s hard slog and have a clear mind and before you get sucked…

  • Is Intention running the software in your head

    This is an alternative take on what I have written about before, Choose carefully how you spend your time. In that piece I riffed on Annie Dillard’s famous quote: “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” By that is ultimately meant, you become what you spend your time doing and…

  • Mental Workout

    Discipline yourself or be disciplined. This could be a mantra for our times, when distractions abound. Without it, devices will master you, social media will. Whims will waste your time, goals will always be an illusion away. You wont get anything worthwhile done. You wont be the captain of your ship, the creator of your…

  • DharmaHacking at its finest

    Discovered this Japanese Zen Buddhist monk and live-looping artist, Yogetsu Akasaka. He live streams on YouTube. This is one of many. I could get into some seriously cool meditation to some of these tracks, this one in particular.

  • Hiking adventures to combat lockdown malaise

    Some pics from a few days away in Cornwall on the South West Coast Path, one of the finest walks I have ever experienced (this was my third time I love it so much). Nothing like some gorgeous outdoors by the seaside to combat lockdown malaise, lift the spirits and make you feel alive. The…

  • Hacking humans – welcome to the new frontier

    Yuval Noah Harari, author of Sapiens and Homo Deus, among others, makes a powerful commencement speech in this recent video. As a Dharma Hacker I subscribe to the view that we are hackable. It’s how its done and to what end that is important. Some more thoughts on that and the video, in addition to…

  • Wise words – morning inspiration

    There are certain days which seem to cry out to be filled – mornings that plead for action – the atmosphere vibrant with expectancy and high, heroic challenge, and this was such a morning. From Mr Pye by Mervyn Peake – Filed under Literature/Poetry/Prose

  • Wise words – glittering end to the weekend

    Life [exists] only because of a myriad of synchronicities that bring us to this particular place at this particular moment. In return for such a gift, the only sane response is to glitter in reply. Robin Wall Kimmerer – filed under inspiration/death

  • The battle for the self and the essence of being

    The other day in a meditation session I arrived at an insight – roughly represented in the doodle. In my best sessions when I can get to that calm place, insights arise. Finding that place of calm, focus and insight is difficult and not always achieved in a meditation session. Sometimes just getting to calm is…
