Sanity Check

This is a very interesting area of tao. Is intuition something that can be trained without specialized knowledge or source material.

Prior to microsoft becoming the tech giant it is today. Bill Gates tried to trade all of his microsoft shares for a stake in lotus. Lotus declined. Hence Bill Gate's prior title: the world's accidental richest man.

"Computer viruses are as mythical as crocodiles in new york's sewers." --Peter Norton (Before going on to found Norton anti virus)

Bobby Brown claims he was mounted by a ghost. Back when he was filming Ghostbusters 2. He says the creepy house he was living in was responsible. He moved and it seems never had issues afterward.

Stranger things: The epic of gilgamesh suggests massive floods were necessary to reduce human overpopulation. What would zarathustra think about this, I wonder.

The Tower of Babel might also hint at man's development being lopsided. In terms of God creating division of language to slow scientific progress. There might also be another angle to support this but I can't remember what it was.

The above quotation could shed light on one of Enoch's narratives. Angels share knowledge of metal working & science with humanity and are punished. This knowledge was shared prematurely causing man's development to become lopsided in the way MLK Jr describes.

That sounds a lot like me. Worked hard and played hard for years. Younger appearance than biological age. Etc. I don't get it, either.

I guess the focus of the discussion is: Are we as people capable of making exclusively perfect choices that are both optimal and constructive. Or are we capable of making bad choices that are extremely self destructive in nature. People are known to have cut down more than 50% of the world's natural forests since emerging as dominant species. What percentage of forests can we cut down before we run into serious problems? If you say that only 10% of dry land is occupied by people. Then you must believe that 100% of dry land can reasonably be occupied. With 100% occupation naturally translating to 100% of forests in the world being cut down. Does this sound like a good idea when its put into perspective? 3x human population expansion is a result of bad decision making and self destructive policy. 50% of forests gone is bad decision making / self destructive.

When I was around 7 years old I saw a book in school that said kung fu monks would train horse stance while reading a book to train the body & mind. Later as a teenager I realized TV was something like a waste of time. Ended up exercising while watching TV. The contextual element of a fictional story might stimulate the mind, while exercise stimulates the body. Later watching documentaries while exercising. Then later audio lectures and audio books while exercising. Although its hard to find good audio content I don't bother with it, usually. Experimented with different exercise trying to create my own routine. Some of the things I did might have helped train qi & qi meridians accidentally. I didn't realize until recently. I used to have issues with overthinking everything. To a point where physical labor becomes enjoyable. Being engaged with physical tasks, there's not much room to be overthinking anything. As I don't mind that type of work and can enjoy it to a degree. I wound up doing physical labor 16 hour days x 7 days a week in worst cases. I wouldn't pace myself, I would try to sprint the entire 16 hours to complete exhaustion. Then wake up the next day and do it all over again. Due to this, I might have a little more qi than average. Although I got lazy at some points and made bad choices. Now. Trying to improve and refine my routine. Although I have no real goals or aspirations about anything.

Human population in 1950 - 2.5 billion Human population around 2024 - 8 billion Triple 3x growth in 74 years is not sustainable. Sometimes in seeing old James Bond films from the 1960s. It can be felt how much healthier and more balanced the earth and people were in that era. Now we have a million psychological disorders and addicts overdosing on sidewalks everyday. And its not up for consideration that we may have taken a wrong turn somewhere in our development? I know there are some who say many deserve to die for destroying the earth and nature. I'm not one of them. I like japan's declining birth rate as a solution.

Googles anprim... Anarcho primitivism. I suspect many taoists view industrialization and modern society as sup optimal. Which is why many dislike wheat for it allowing massive over expansion of human population(?).

I saw magic & sorcery etsy shops selling revenge shrink your exes penis spells for around $100 each awhile ago. There appears to be a market for that. Plummeting sperm counts, shrinking penises: toxic chemicals threaten humanity Thu 18 Mar 2021 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/mar/18/toxic-chemicals-health-humanity-erin-brokovich ^ It may even be a global epidemic.

What's cool about today's technology is the chance of independent parties DNA testing those supplements. Colonel Sanders unique recipe of herbs and spices along with coca cola's secret ingredients were all unlocked by DNA testing and chemical analysis a long time ago. I would expect to find ingredients that shrink the human penis while enlarging the human ego in there somewhere.

Ducks as well, it seems.

Many farmers are retiring. With no one interested in taking over their biz. There are some food items that are grown in reduced quantities every year for the past 50 years. Food production is actually somewhat deflationary afaik.

I'm learning basic farming & have thoughts on this. "Everyone wants to be a lawyer making $100k / year." "No one wants to get their hands dirty pulling weeds." "Except me."

People say money doesn't grow on trees. But food does and yet we still have shortages?

Stimulate the body to stimulate the mind. Aka exercise.

She is attempting to retrieve doomsday protocol, nuclear launch codes? Else its difficult for computer code written during the cold war to have that type of gravitas.

In terms of thermodynamics, good decisions require more energy than bad ones.
