Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! Are you following Chip yet? I've been following for years and still don't know if Chip is the human or the doggy. Neither way, These two always show up in my feed ...

Thank you for this recommendation Derek.
I am slowly, and with constant effort, sculpting my feed to be the digital world I wish to live in.

I really appreciate high minded and high vibe people who are here to share in the full spectrum of human experience. And especially those who are obsessively focused on dreaming the beautiful future, we know is possible, into being.

Any more recommendations would be deeply appreciated!!

The reason some people can't stop working is not ambition. It's that they don't know who they are when they stop. The work is holding the identity together. Rest threatens it. This is not sustainable...

As the identity begins to fracture it also threatens every other structural belief about the world. It’s terrifying, deeply unsettling, and with no promise that there is anything on the other side of that process.

So bittersweetly tangible to see this.

Lived in Canggu part time for the last 7 years. Sold our little place last summer, and I spent that season driving my scooter around grieving.

I’ve changed so much since we first started living there, and so has Bali.. a relationship that inevitably and sadly grew apart.

We’ve stopped reading carefully and we’ve stopped speaking plainly, and you can feel what that’s costing us. The good news is both are skills, and skills come back the moment you start using the...

I am actively cultivating my social environment to be ever more direct and productive. To foster expansive perspectives and conversations, even if they are at first uncomfortable.

It’s easier to reshape who I spend time with as far as friends and digital social interactions. But it was far more challenging to navigate this with the moms this last weekend, in the face of generational perspectives on this emerging and confusing world.

What does that even mean have ā€˜abundance’ anyway. We do have abundance in the western world already. Just lazy and lots of dumb fucks who rather complain than work for it (talking and thinking esp...

Yes, I admit my use of the word ā€˜abundance’ was itself lazy. What is a good word for the exact inverse of scarcity? That was what I was attempting to communicate..

Your observation of people becoming lazy in the face of these questions is exactly why I’m attempting to grapple with them. The unknown is paralyzing when we believe we need solid structures to stand on to be ok.

What I’m attempting to communicate is that it’s possible to jump off the ā€œsinking ship of certaintyā€ into the ā€œturbulent waters of the unknowableā€ and still feel perfectly safe. A sense of safety that isn’t tied to any conceptual framework of a physical or social structure.
