I write the principles I want to live by on a regular basis. They’ve remained fairly consistent over the years.

1. Everything is connected.
Therefore, I want to be mindful that every action I take will eventually come back to me.

2. Everyone knows everything, eventually.
Therefore, I want to be sure I act with transparency with a desire to be fair.

3. I know nothing.
Therefore, I want to be curious and always seek to listen and learn.

I fail at some of these regularly. But it’s been important to come back to them and validate my actions and consider ways to improve.

Beautiful principals, Jack. Buddhist in nature. Curious, do you still maintain a regular Vipassana practice?

foundational awareness amazing

I read one of the books you recommended: the four agreements. They are not bad principles to love by either. 1. Be impeccable with your words 2. Don't assume anything 3. Don't take anything personally 4. Always give your best

You are wise beyond your years, young Jack.

My motto is pretty simple, it keeps me grounded and humble: -I am strong. -I am fearless. -I am one with the universe. -My heart and soul are filled with joy and gratitude. -I move towards my goal with the right attitude.

It’s one thing to have these principals, but another to actually do the work to live by them. Always very impressed by those like you who are able to be intentional with every action you take! 🔥

All are very good points. With Vipassana meditation,it's easy to live all these points . dhamm.org

Are you doing Vipassana 1 hour morning and evening? It doesn't work less than that. I hope you must be doing it already. Telling you as I have realised that recently.

I’m a nobody, Jack. But if you speak honestly then I have equal value just as any Joe Shmoe or…well … a Titan like You. When you say connected, do you mean physically or metaphysically? I’d love to chat about the intangibles.

1. Cause and effect (karma) 2. Truth and reason 3. Humble student ☺️

Good stuff @jack

These new since you left Twitter? No offense, but if these were the principles then, it wouldn’t have devolved into the shit show it became.

What Jack shares every time is so simple and direct, full of wisdom 大道至简 ———《道德经》

And interesting approach. I like...

If everyone knows everything, and you know nothing. Does that make you…. No One? https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_512cb3df1e51bb3eb4a1dec433c370d925d688233a12f2a655c51c3cc121df50.jpg

Understanding this fully requires some buddhist training. ☸️

GK Chesterton responded in an op ed to the question, "What is wrong with the world?" with this pithy gem: "I am." It is a theological fact that in addition to the little knowledge I possess, there is th propensity to screw it up.

I know that I know nothing.

Thanks for sharing this, Jack.

A physics equation that relates to point #1 is newton's third law "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" F₁ = -F₂ Every action we take and all energy we release matters.

Nice and simple. I like it. I shall assimilate :-) I once wrote down my own 10 “commandments” in a similar vein - should have to into into Git to iterate and improve :-)

Don't blame on yourself like that Jack! All i see is it is hard to understand you until is it like guessing instead of thinking and organize of who you really are. And info turned to be so messy in their talks. This is the sys i have seen. You are a good mamnered man your words are always asking for...
