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.

Just having a light hearted explore of things in the moment-You were always one of the greatest advocate’s of the importance of conversation, which as a medium of learning, I probably would have avoided, if I hadn’t heard you talking about it, back in the day. 🙏

> “Everyone knows everything, eventually.” That concept terrifies LGBTQ folks in homophobic environments. The fact it doesn’t terrify you means you have privilege. Take a moment to be appreciative of your privilege.…

They resemble : 1. Sooner or later the consequences of my actions will reach me. 2. Nothing is hidden forever, sooner or later it will be known. 3. The more I learn, the less I know.

This is why every question you ask is spectacular 🥹

Have you read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho?

The “key of life is to know nothing” is tattooed on me.

Nice. Here's an AI twist.. 1. There exists a connection between everything. Hence, I aim to be cautious of my actions as they will inevitably have consequences. 2. With time, everyone gains knowledge of everything. Thus, I strive to act transparently and impartially. 3. My knowledge is limited. C...

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

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! 🔥

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.

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. ☸️

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 :-)
