Life is short. Be courageous. Poke the bear.

Thank you for your kind words. Trying to get involved with more of this.

Distrust occurs when you sacrifice truth for utility.

If you have to make a hard decision in life, play with your kids the night before you do. You'll know what you need to do.

The authors here completely fail at acknowledging the is/ought problem from David Hume: "Reason is, and ought only to be the slaves of the passions" (A Treatise of Human Nature, 1739) https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/opinion/organ-donors-death-definition.html

I visited that site last summer. Still so very surreal....

Freedom is not an end goal. It's the impetus needed to do what you love.

We live close to my parents, and they buy toys they keep in their house. We definitely create a massacre there as well. Thankfully, my parents enjoy it and take pleasure in cleaning up afterwards.

Yeah. I definitely worry that in 20 years when our house is squeaky clean, I'll miss this.

Haha. I hear you. It's a familiar room for kids who love and are loved...

Less than 24 hours after a deep clean… This is what our family room looks like again. If you have kids under 5, you already know: mess is inevitable. Toys everywhere. Chaos on repeat. But I’ve started to see it differently. A messy house used to feel like an inevitable lost battle. Now, I’m learning it’s a sign of something else—something good. This isn’t just a living room. It’s a lab. A workshop. Ultimately, we as parents build a home not only as a save haven, but as a creative hub for our kids to explore. We create the environment for them to use their agency to imagine, play, experiment, innovate and create. Whenever I clean up my office or desk, I feel clarity of mind to think, write, experiment with ideas and just do more. In the same way, I think when our kids see a clean house, they have increased inspiration to get the toys, papers, and crayons out again and do more with their creativity. The mess comes quickly—but so does the magic. I'm starting to think less of cleaning our house as a never-ending chore, but an opportunity to 'clean up the lab'. It's an opportunity each day for our kids to see an environment that is both safe and bountiful; to test their boundaries and see where their mind can take them. We’re not just cleaning a house. We’re preparing the stage for discovery. #parenting #creativity #philosophy #sovereignty

I've been gradually getting the sense that Nostr provides the space in our modern day for perhaps the highest 'creativity/ego' ratio I've seen.
