The Perils of Day-Light-Savings: A Calculated Look at Sentience

I love Philleas Fogg, Meridians, Space Sciences, Concepts of Time (like Time’s Arrow the Time’s Arrow star trek episode wasn’t that bad either) and albeit somewhat pseudo-science philosophical concepts of physics such as reverse-causality, and all that time-based Dr. Who jazz.   Unfortunately, this article is very un-Dr.Whoesque and quite bland.  But nevertheless, the DST thign was something I wanted to scrutinize upon tinkering with some awesome desktop clock gadgets and wanted to make sure the nuances of time zones and how GMT is perpetually free from the daylight-savings insanity, was lucid.

It’s useful for me to frame things in temporal to London.  Chicago is always LondonTime -6 (because during this DST period, London is UTC+1)  In Spring to Fall, Chicago is London Time (BST) -6, only  because all clocks are moved forward.  And in Fall to Spring, London is GMT/UTC/Zulu And Chicago is that- 6 (because the London time goes “back” to normal), but of course so does every other timezone (Chicago goes back to GMT-6, Sydney to GMT+9, and so on.  During DST it’s a headache a +1 gets added to all those London GMT+1, Chicagy GMT-5, Sydney GMT+10).   Fall to Spring (non-daylight savings time) LondonTime (Chicago time being, now (BST) -6), and now London Time coincides with GMT.  I reckon it’s a good clarification and also headache that GMT timezone DST fluctuations never occur; zulu is always UTC.  In other words, right now, it’s BST 11:02am, CST 5:02am, and GMT 10:02am.  So it’s annoying that half the year all time zones deviate in their relationship to GMT.  London is GMT+1 or GMT, New York is GMT-4 or GMT-5, Chicago is GMT-5 or GMT-6 (in respective DaylightSavings and Non-DayLightSavings Months, respectively).

It’s interesting to note that time and time zones are mere derivatives of man-made sentience placed (or sort of dumped, rather) on longitudes.  And then again, longitudes are geographical trigonometric man-made units of measurement as well. (more…)

Moving Away From What Don’t Want, Towards What Want.

Here’s  the Translations of the fields of study that I eliminated to their present and future and these may likely slightly fluctuate but meh.

I’ve evolved my past 5 studies to more uplifting, validating, clarifying studies.  The transduction are as follows:

  • Psychology —> Video Games!  Simply the opposite of psychology. Instead of imprisoning one self with self-dialogue “snares” , actually just doing things in a game or real world.  Escaping prison of mind.  This one’s complex and I fully don’t understand it honestly, but it’s something along the lines of gamers are a community, they’re a niche (or “we” are a niche really).  We help each other out.  Friends are the best shrinks, psychologists, coaches in teh world and better. So gamers are friends, thus gaming (via the community of gamers) eclipses psychology completely, replacing it with something progressive, fun, cooperative, exciting as, and full of tons of free expression within the uplifting confines of a great game.  There’s room for passion and interacting but always the forward-moving, measurable progression in game.  Both those (the progress and passion) create massive clarity and peace.  This sounds a bit “zen huey-looey” but hey, I reckon I take gaming seriously.  I’m serious enough about it and the gaming community to recognize that hte best “therapy” one could ever provide or receive occured with mates!  Heck, I even consoled a mate about his dad’s cancer on vent once!  Bloody hell! I don’t expect gaming community to be that intense, but video games are moving in the right direction: involved, not paralyzed behind a 4th wall, and not to mention fun and structured.  Most of all, I LIKE video games!  I get charged with a group of gamers cooperatively working together in a player verse player basis to meet a goal that can only be ascertained with such cooperation!  Rockin’ good time!
  • Computers —>  Neuroscience and Mnemonics and NLP and a few “conditionals” to conduct social interactions.  Utilizing the mind with it’s far-more-advanced technology than a computer as if it were a computer that’s always with you! Mnemonics has been a massively reoccurring interest in my life.  I studied it extensively after returning from my trip in the Mexico Yucatan in 2002.  I had the lobes of the brain on my desktop throughout college (this is also because my computer(s) basically are my brain(s) haha!), and NLP can create some aligning visualizations and NLP is great for anti-persuasion, so I only make choices that are keyed in with what I want and need not because someone else is effective at sales or persuading me off center.  NLP has some interesting hypnosis trance stuff which I may be trying to avoid but at least learning about it is effective.  The computer science moving towards social behavior deserves some explanation.  In fact all of these transmutations, uncertainly deserve more explanation, but hey, one step at a time.  Using computer science for social conditionals would mean setting up, for example, and if statement so that:
    • if (xyz_conditional) {
    • do_abc_expression;
    • }
    • which would conduct and organize my social interactions producing more flow, greater ease, heightened simplicity, and less anxiety because it’s all “programmed”!  This could be imprisoning in once sense, but when you’re constantly worried about what to say or do, this creates a very stabilizing ease.  Excellent!
  • Drama        —> Music, namely classical, and Math.  ufoMathematical, auditory, some music has “performance” but is so much more precise, it makes drama look like sludge.  A comparison I think would be a commercial is to drama as a great feature film i to music.  That aside, some talented performers are very musical in their performance even if labeled “drama”.  Drama, especially with Eric Berne’s “drama triangles” with social “transactions” is the exact rubbish that I am moving away from.  Perpetually hold the adult title and discard the time-consuming and confusing states of stagnation and stuckness that produce quagmires of social confusion.  Math and classical music are the respective left and right brains of crispness and clarity. Quality times.
  • English       —-> Voice work.  Not stuck trapped communicating through keyboard-pecking and expressing self though voice but WITH the structured composition learned from writing is marvelous and unquestionably an advancement.  I just spent about an hour photographing for digital archive, my book…that I wrote…that was basically notes on self-help book rubbish…and (it was called Validate Your Life) and get this utter blithering insanity…I actually took notes and highlights and bloody MARGIN comments on my own book!  So I photo-scanned all that in and put all the crumpled paper in a bag to burn, discard or just rummage through for remembering of how pathetically stuck my life was in the past withe self-help rubbish and religion infecting my thoughts! Math, anatomy, games, all of these new transmutations have revealed to me that illusion spell I was under in writing that self-help rubbish which was just regurgitated self-help rubbish I had previously read.
  • Politics        —> Honesty and Journal-writing and Sharing!  Additionally possibly aquatic, swimming workouts, health.   The antithesis of politics.  My goal is not to be invulnerable, but vulnerability makes you incredibly solid and strong and connected.  To quote an unsophisticated source, Ferguson says “if you’re honest, you’re bullet-proof”.  I’m interested imperfection.  Conveying my faults, my problems, my confusions, my anxieties.  That’s being real for me and that leaves politics in a pathetic useless mangled dusty pile of rubbish.  Journaling and sharing that is clarity.  Also I know a lot of aquatic fun is tied in with these transmutations.  Maybe swimming and aquatic snorkeling and whatnot would be the antithesis of politics because there’s absolutely no red-tape (assuming you’re allowed to swim where you can) and there’s no political sticky rubbish.

Parkour!

— September 12, 2009 — 3:49 AM DISCOVERED PARKOUR. LOOKS Sooooooooooooo RAd. Agility, Gymnatisc, alacrity, intelligence, obstacle overcoming, Running RAD RAD RAD!!!!!! French terminology. bRiLLIANt. It’s agility. ALL my favorite video games. prince of persia all the games are like free running and parkour. The French terminolgy is brilliant. this is an intelligent discipline. It requires TREMENDOUS finesse. It’s fun, it requires massive planning and problem solving. This would be GREAT something to train for. Training “for women” is REALLY gay, retarded, and falalcious (because you’ll end up a pissed angry stupid person). Training for parkour would be excellent and great. I REALLY like this because of the mental and physical discipline (present in things like jeet kun do) BUT also it’s non combative and all about physical and mental personal development. It’s non-competitive which is briliatn and I love the french language directly infused iwth parkour. I REALLY like that. awesome. Awesome on so many levels — physically, linguistically, intellectually. brilliant aND it’s (of course) big in uk and europe. this is awesome. This is an inspiration to train. I’ve had a lot of training for it with all my swimming, my marathons, my biking, my martial arts, my surfing…yeah. This aligned with and congruent with the following pre-existing interests: French language Rogue Agility class gymnastics lightness mental and physical discipline GENUINE (not bullshit tony robbings) personal development overcoming obstacles problem-solving Spatial Awareness dance. looking at urban terrain not as place to be cuibcle rat, but as a playground. health closest thing to video game as rl Thus it is VERY moving forward.

Electric Agenda: The Equation for Taking Ownership of Your Time


(this needs serious work organizing but the Electric Agenda: Reclaiming Ownership of your Temporality   is DEFINITELY PRINCIPLE that I MUST ABIDE BY!!!!! YES!!!)

I recently saw the Fantastic, utterly incredible movie In Bruges.  It was incredible because of the Irish component, great acting, fantastic direction from McDonough, Ferrel was A+ and his exchange with Gleeson (all three Irish dudes, mind you) was beautiful and humorous rapport)….BUT but but! But the most prominently cool and awesome part of the the movie was it’s seriousnesss and incredible depth!  That movie was deep!  And it had a reoccurringly profound theme of the necessity of abiding to principles.  I won’t give away the shocking ending, because you don’t want to spoil anything, but the relationship with allegiance to principles was an extremely strong message.  If you’ve seen the movie you know the concept of “principles” definitely defines the shape of the path the characters have in the movie.  Actually in the movie, disastrous things occurred because people were obdurate with sticking with principles.  So the actual message of the movie was kind: “You have to look very closely at detail to apply a potentially good principle effectively.”  But the whole brew-haha about got me thinking about how everyone has these upper-level, high-level principles and beliefs.

So that’s what this Validate Your Life “Linguistic Code” ebook is about :  Defining Principles that install the changes you want to occur and the freedom you want to experience.

Sharkwater FTW

Sure there’s a few rare incidents of them attacking humans

but the same is true of lightning

and lightning strikes are actually more frequent than shark bites.  If Spielberg had created Zappers instead of Jaws, about how frequently people get struck and killed by lightning would there be a greater fear irrational fear of the atmospheric discharge of electricity and indifference to our cartilaginous friends?  I think so.

Sharks are beautiful. (more…)

I Don’t Use Beds

One interesting fact about is me that I don’t sleep on beds.  Since 2003, I haven’t slept on a bed.  I started this practice while studying spider monkeys in the yucatan jungle of Mexico.  Obviously, we slept in tents in the yucatan and there were no mattress beds in the tents — just the refreshingly simple jungle floor.  I continued this.  Sleeping on the floor is better for:
My back.  Mattresses encourage odd vertebral curvature, the floor does not and my spine has been noticeably more aligned and even spinal elongation has occurred since I started this practice.
My energy.  I got groggy sleeping in beds, but I feel refreshed and clear sleeping on the floor.
My simplicity.   As part of my productivity and organizational coachign, I’m an anti-clutter freak and while it may seem overly-meticulous to focus on not having bedding clutter to worry about, having to make a bed, deal with undersheets, comforter, mattress sheets, versus just one blanket that I use to cover me while sleeping on the floor, greatly makes my life easier, simpler, and more clutter-free, when you add up all your belongings (and they do add up!).

Yeah…I’m Totally 100% I Followed Movies in order to Coach Actors

http://www.yahoo.com/s/1081179

Carradine’s death and Heath’s death in early 2008 (both suicides) shows that actors are unhappy. They need and are lost and confused. I’m 100% convinced that the reaons for following film and studying acting for a bit was to eventually Coach actors in areas of fulfilment and health and performance and meaning. It’s simple. Actor’s have a lot of money and little happiness. I have a lot of happiness and little money. I can teach the happiness; they can give me the money. Both parties happy. :D !!

This makes you realize that Hollywood is truly just a massive Cult of Marketing and ploys nad disillusionment tied in with the media to create the illusion of the “glory of fame and stardom” etc. Well Hollywood went down the tubes. Seriously. I’ve been living 20 miles west of “Hollywood” the past year and the place is like a vacant ghost town when I visit it (seriously). Additionally, the silver screen pictures and that whole era from a sales/business point of view is completely wasted and gone. Youtube, private casts, internet “films” are now reality. So the Cultu of Hollywood is slowly dying.

Boy has my thought evolved rapidly the past years!! Only three years ago I was fascinated with and enthralled by actors. Now, after discovering some truly clear thinking rocking bodacious people (DB, Dawkins, etc). I’ve realized, sure, some actors may be genuinely cool, great people, but their profession is the biggest kind of cult disillusionment mass hypnosis possible. Tahts’ why so many off themselves because their profession is so warped and disillusioned and they’re a servant for “product placement” in the films! They likely have very little sense of self after playing characters and roles for many years of their life.

Coaching is the opposite of that. I spend YEARS of my life writing books on discovering exactly what I want to know and who I want to be and I discover that! I was interested in spirituality and when I was, it was exciting but various things (prosetylizatio in Costa Rica on multiple occasion, reading up on cults and witnessing identical similarities between cults and major religions etc) emerged and I evolved out of that. Now science and atheism are rivetting. TRULY rivetting. But the truth of the matter is. They’ve ALWAYS been rivetting! I’ve ALWAYS been this nerdy, scientific atheist. I watch home videos of me as a kid and I see that and know that. “Devout Atheism” (:D) is what’s true for me. Kiekegaard says “I must find a truth that’s true for me”. Well, soren, I did just that and it’s refreshing and incredibly MASSIVELY empowering!! Wow. So empowering to honor my genuine LOVE for science! Three kinds of symbiotic relationships, Stomata on plants, cellular respiration I love that high-tech jargon and better yet the fact that it’s linked to real things in nature. But physics is like some of the most absolute truths of all tied in with the precision of math. I’m very interested in physics especially. Sweet!!

Schwarzenegger: Keep Our Beaches Open! Move Towards At Least Commensualistic Symbiosis

Dear Governor Schwarzenneger,

(From John Thomas “Kooz” Kuczmarski)

I’m a strong believer that the purpose of a city should serve Nature. Nature — wildlife, animals, we homo sapiens ARE Nature — should be the intention of anything municipal, or city-based. Therefore the idea of actually closing beaches, closing a way for humans to enjoy nature (the ocean and beaches) would be undermining the very purpose of a city.

Do you really think people will stand for not being able to access beaches? Have you any idea how ludicrous that sounds?

I think anyone who believes eliminating parks-nature-Beach funding for the purpose of redirecting those funds to something non-Nature-based needs to re-evaluate their mission, don’t you?

If the significance of Nature (the oxygen we breath from the botanical plants of parks) and the body of water that keeps us alive (planet earth ecologically could not survive if it were not for it being covered with over 70% water) is eclipsed, all is lost for EARTH and humans. This sounds extreme and that’s because it is. If anything, funding needs to be redirected to opening MORE beaches and parks to remind us homo sapiens that we are just highly-evolved primates, elements of nature and truly do deserve to connect with Nature readily and frequently.

I think one problem with American government is that it HAS too much funding!! IT has so much funding that it redirects it’s energies, finances, and time away from the absolute necessities (nature, oxygen, planetary perpetuation and survival).

Is Everything for Romance? Even with Successful Careers



just woke up, just water, wore black (Great), no food, no coffee before, energizing awesome convo. good. I saw a darren brown and david tennant clip (for darren’s tv show) and I relized that they went out into public to have a woman draw a picture and david was supposed to have predicted what she’d draw, but the interesting thing was how it almost seemed like david and darren were competing for the woman’s attention to impress her! LOL these two HUGE awesome dudes and names (darren brown and david tennant) with huge massively successful careers, were almost primarily focused on this woman’s attention. I mean i have a ton of respet for david, but my reverence for darren (he’s just so gnalry) is off the charts, so seeing both these two extraordinary guys doing very unextraordiariny stuff (trying to impress a woman and have
vulnerability in that — or maybe that is extraoridinary too!! ;D) was an eye-opener.

I mean Tennant is THE Dr. Who! How much more cool and successful and impressive is that from a sci-fi POV. And Darren….well that guy’s just unfathomably cool and he represents the apex of all the skills in which I have been and currently training. So DB just operates on this unimaginably awesoem level of success. But so here were these two amazingly successful people whom I have massive respect for, doing something very common and normal — kind of “flirting with a woman”!! :D These guys were just doing what any normal guy would do — flirting with this woman! I mean I guess I figured at some level of success I erroneously thought you wouldn’t have to worry about those htings (flirting, courtship, etc) but while I’m sure those guys don’t worry about them, they still DO them. Romance is alive for every person regardless of their level of success. In many ways I htink romance is kind of the common denominator that makes someone’s career or their image etc, operate from a baseline: yeah we are all human, we all have human emotions. Cool! But it was something to which I could relate. I could only look up to their careers — wow, db’s nlp skills insane! etc — but when I saw them flirting with this woman, I was like “Hey!! Hey! Hey, I’m on the same level with them in that regard at least!!” :D

Heroic Journey of My Coaching Process

First off I noticed that the ICA Coaching Process Diagram resembles Joseph Campbell’s Hero of a Thousand Faces 12-phases of the heroic Journey. Joseph campbell is an author of mythology and kind of mythological dissection. He went back and scrutinized myriad myths and plugging in some Jungian archetypes extracting some archetypes, he extracted these 12 stages that occur in almost every myth be it 1970s star wars or a 500 bc folktale. And the phases involve a departure, encountering obstacles, tests, helpers, return, seizing the elixir and others. so the coaching process resembles the heroic journey that a client will go through and experience!

The most fascinating connection I saw was that in 1998 I made an abstract self-portrait that strongly resembles the ICA coaching process! Except that mine utilizes more color, which I like. I have a confusion, dark cloud on the left side which is where the client starts — from confusion, muddled doubt, fear, and its a rough, grey-black textured part of the abstract canvas. Then there’s an up and down energy line which reflect the heroic journey and the end result is this warm smooth, red and yellow chunk that represents the achievement, the kindness and love. ST. Ambrose said, “Faith is in the beginning and love is in the end.” On my coaching journey process, Love is truly the the end result of the coaching and the energy-heroic line has greens, reds, blues, and many colors of change. What’s interesting is that instead of pillars I have 3 slivers of red and yellow surrounding the main sphere (the client’s core and their compassionate reservoir which always stays the same and contains their infinite potential). Those slivers represent passion, love, and joy that are ALWAYS with hte client throughout the entire journey!! Unlike the pillar where they’d go through the truth-telling and listening phases and then a questioning phase, my model of coaching (that I painted 11 years ago) has these empowering qualities ALWAYS with the client throughout the entire journey that they can and should and do draw upon!!

So the Beginning of my client process starts at “muddled confusion and doubt and fear”

All Hail the Aussie Party God!

I seriously thought the reporter was acting. how could she be so serious and controlling and almost hostilely reprimanding?? wtf?!!! lol. have people become so foully political that a good party is severely scolded? WHERE the hell do you have raging good parties where you can be LOUD (and everyone’s safe, all good stuff, etc.) did people forget how Read Moreimportant actually having fun is? Is everyone like this? Where are the people who embrace the occasionally extremely lively party?!! IF there’s so much time for hush hush, there has to be time for loud, uproarious good solid awesome parties too! :D lol.

Sure, doing this every night would be too much simply because people couldn’t sleep. So a little discretion there, but really, it’s something that should be heralded in many respects.

While calling this kid a savior, may be a teeny bit far-fetched, he’s damn close to it! Due to conformity, fear, lack of identity, and subversion into politics, people have completely forgotten and neglected the meaning and the act of a good party. I thought the parents and the reporters were seriously “actors” because their reactions (shock and outrage) appeared so unnecessarily inflated. hahaRead More!! Thank god there still exists people like corey in the world who choose to listen to their inner voice and their own “iron string” instead slipping into delusions of what you’re supposed to do. This kid is a walking example of Emersonian self-reliance. Long live aussie corey!! haha! Self-reliance!

21st Century Mythology: The Best Hero is Flawed, 2-Sided

Recently read this great article and it sparked some interesting ideas. Superheros are only identifiably heroic when they can connect to other humans! Otherwise, they’re just alien. The most secure way of making that connection, honestly, is flaws. Batman’s troubles over his dead parents, Ironman’s drinking problems, Maxwell Smart’s stupidity and bumbling, all those flaws make their great deeds identifiably humanly heroic. Cool stuff. Otherwise they’re just mythological!

Yeah, that’s awesome. Superheroes who are perfect without flawed are just myth. The stories of Neptune and Jupiter from Ancient Rome helped Romans understand their mysterious world and answer some of the questions that could only be answered with scientific breakthroughs millenias to come. Same goes for the Zeus, Posieden, Athena stories from greece. Those mythologies embodied flawless, “inhuman heros”. A star contrast from the very human and flawed, but exceptionally heroic characters in many of todays films.

Maybe we have re-invented mythology into a global flawed mythological superhuman superhero. The kind that is a little bit closer to us than Zeus on Mount Olympia, or Neptune beneath the sea. Modern culture has crafted “gods” (superheros) that blends the myth into our reality because we recognize elements of each of us in the our 21st century heroes.Link

Society Vs. Culture

In his famous book, “Future Shock”, Alvin Toffler wrote, “Society is a wave. The wave move onwards, but the water of which it is composed does not”. In other words society is warped; something about it isn’t natural, it isn’t right. Waves cross thousands of miles of open ocean fetch expanse, carrying water from storms on the other side of the globe. That’s what waves do; they carry water. The societal wave does not do that. It is a mutant “wave” of stagnant immobility. It’s a distorted entity that has forgotten its core roots. Society has forgotten it’s heritage.

Society is merely progeny of culture. Culture is infinite, while societal is constructed, man-made, materialized. In short, society is finite. When you think of society you think of restrictions and permissions of what you can do and what you can do based on the amount of prizes you’ve “earned”. Of course you don’t earn the prizes in any way different than a preschooler earns a gold star by coloring in the lines. Culture, carrying myths and stories and history from the end of time, is boundless. Society is a hierarchy with no personal history. Joe Schmoe and Abraham Lincoln carry as much importance in humanity in culture; for they are both humans that lived. In society, however, Joe Schmoe’s life — his challenges, accomplishments, trials and tribulations — go unacknowledged. Society, therefore, is the naive child of the grander scripture, culture. Society is various parts and linearly components that myopically function together. The stories, myths, traditions, and heritages compose parts integral to culture, but together, the cultural components create a gestalt. Society blandly constructs parts to complete a whole, while the infinite culture is the grand picture, synergistically larger than the original painting.

By the way, if these words irk you, dear reader, then read on, for these truisms exist for you. They exist not to rile your bile, but to stew you to eschew that vacant grasp on what many call “society”.

An essential component of of all societal citizens is to forget their culture ancestry. People living in society have abandoned their roots for the sake of finite prizes, titles, bureaucratic shenanigans. Society thrives under the veil of false necessity. Citizens become deluded into thinking they need society, when all they need, all their intrinsically interact with is culture. Society is the maya, the illusion, concealing the infinite boundaryless culture. Why has this sham perpetuated? Simple, society awards prizes (titles, honors, prestige, which lead to new finite game titles) to those who perpetuate the veil of society. We’re made to believe that the president of a corporation, or president of a country, or some grand Nobel award is something worthy of a life devotion. In reality, such belief — devoting your life to a relationship with society — is about as pragmatic trying to shake hands with a shadow; you’re left with nothing but emptiness.

True Love Is Psychotic

True love, that genuine rare art form, is ultimately psychotic. Learn to love the wild. Embrace the rifts, tides, and currents of that change. Create your unknown and then live to understand your reality. Truth is subjective; discover your own wisdom and comprehend the desires of your intrinsic beauty. This should function as a wake-up call for all your music. No more snooze or booze; time to use your capacity for that rhythmic sagacity.
