I have no idea what you just said but it sounds really impressive!

Food, fitness, family/friends and a chosen focus is my base layer framework. Without food you die. Bad food will induce levels of suffering that are avoidable. The physical and emotional implications of a good relationship with all things food will add significant purpose and meaning to your life. A body that is being lovingly challenged to meet chosen goals has massive implications for meaning and purpose. Putting energy into building and maintaining family relationships, either in service to or in support of them adds another layer of purpose and meaning. If you have no family then make friends. A chosen focus, for the sake of itself (not as a side hustle). Literally anything from learning a musical instrument, art, gardening, a spiritual practice, fishing, chess, yoga. Something that is not related to the first 3 F’s, something that is distinct as a chosen focus that you fit in between the first 3. For those that are worried about meaning and purpose in a world where work is collapsing, I think the 4 F’s offer anyone a decent starting point to make it through the next few years. Adjust as needed.

I stopped trying to figure out why these kinds of opinions about labor are wrong over a year ago. Instead I used time drinking coffee (and other beverages) to find a new framework for meaning and purpose when the inevitable happens. You should too! 🙂

Directionally, this is an absolutely wild perspective on how quickly AI is changing and evolving! Well worth the watch! https://youtu.be/JKk77rzOL34?si=ih35mvRAA4WlNIjR

Hugs incoming 🫂 😄

Spaghetti is under attack! I for one won’t let this denigration gain momentum. Public awareness is key! Help me fight this. SPAGHETTI IS SACRED! 😇

This was in poor taste. Upon reflection, a better assumption would be that applying math and geometry is a low priority.

Offff. What a gut punch! I now have to check the quality of the 9 ingredients in my spag bol recipe. I also have to check if I need to recalibrate my concept of sin 😐

Are all spaghetti dishes created equally?

Flat earth folks must have failed math and geometry at all levels at school.

Doing my best to not sleep through the singularity.
