#Dear AI and #augmental unreality (AU) friendly #bods, 🔆
As we suspect #Iappling, the #well known #Gluegall and #MetaWotsNap etc, are #examples of killing apps. #Enabling controlling freaks to push notifications of:
- #Fantasy conspiracies
- Black out the #truth #Fairies
- Monster Prophets for Shear Holdings
Wot to do?
My plan:
- #Dance to a different #rhythm
- Become an App
- Think like a mountain
Sol far, so good!
Dear friends of #unsocial media,
Not only is media madly addictive, it is often a #substitute for #reality. The phone zombie syndrome, soon to be slavishly followed by #augmental unreality.
Fortunately we have opinions:
- Cold Turkey
- #Disengagement
- #Happier? Just a product consumer?
#Meanwhile …
Had a #delicious home made platted #bread and #vegetable and fish soup, with real water for supper. Thinking #Diwali is a good plan. #Planning my next podcast (Invasion of the Body Snatchers FREE)
#Stray Well everyone … (slip on your Freudians)
The situation now is the #propaganda is being automated with AI (Artificial Insemination) of:
- Invested interests
- Next generation #manipulation
- Corrupting people, corporations and #misgovernance
The solution is to not assume, not engage with useless directions #subtle or #otherwise …
Dear #Unlimiting Friends,
As we know, not everyone is the same, nor should they or can they be. Those who want everyone to accept the #veracity of their #limitations, we often do best to avoid. For example:
- I find it helpful to hold simultaneously opposing and contradictory #understanding with no need to #reconcile or be convinced.
- If it is #impossible that motivates its possibility
- Not everyone wants to widen their narrows or broaden and encompass #alternatives.
To put it another way: Every
thing is fine …
My keyboard disappeared, Dear Friends,
I blame A=Apple, as in X=Ex and C is for Cat
Anyway it is back on my TEA=tablet
My gosh, I am a code breaker, breaker. 10-4 rubber duck … 🤣

Dear Friends of #Focus,
Thought I would do a #podcast on different techniques of developing #concentration or #focus,
https://audio.com/lobster/audio/focus
The speaker discusses #different #ways to #concentrate the mind without causing tension. They suggest #focusing on various objects such as a #candle, #flower, or bowl of water. They also mention the option of using images, statues, or #inspirational quotes to concentrate on. Other suggestions include using an oil burner or stick of #incense for fragrance. The speaker mentions the practice of building a #shrine with flowers, fruit, water, perfume, incense, and sacred texts for more focused concentration. They also mention using #letters from different languages or #tarot cards for concentration. #Chanting and mantras are also suggested. The speaker advises trying different methods to see what works best.
Dear Friends of Dance,
As we may know a #mind is too valuable to be filled with #emptiness ...
Which is part of the goal of some #Dharma (#Buddhist and similar #Lore).
What is better? Unhappy garbage or La-La? #Neither.
We can self #discipline nor indulge. We can find a #MiddleWay.
For me this means being in the world but not of the worlds

Dear Friends of #Linux, #FOSS and #Freedom,

As an #independent wer-lobster, I am always pleased to be wrong. I #learn something. Ignorance as used in Buddhism and general #experience is #ignoring
when you are wrong and continuing to waffle elsewhere. In other words it is avoidance of #introspection and #learning from mistakes.
It is why a watch my thoughts for signs of #obsession non-inspiration and conspiring against itself. I would not trust my mind as a reliable AI vehicle ...

Dear friends of Niche/Nietzsche Phliopastries,
#Oops I think that should be #philosophers. My father liked 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thus_Spoke_Zarathustra
I found it interesting enough, like so many #poetic/personal opinions/'truths'
I have always found philosophy just '#alternatives ways to #think' - a bit like the populist. alternative #facts.
I prefer verified #FAQS. Call me #olde fashioned ... For example I #prefer tried and #trusted methods to #freedom from mustaches, mad people. hysterics and book burners.
It is why I like #Peace and #Quiet, rather than annoying my circle of Being. I suppose it is my #philopastry philosophy

Dear Friends of #Relaxing,
Just uploaded my first in many years #simple #led #meditation.
Here is what the AI says about it ...
"In this meditation, the speaker guides us through a #process of #deep #breathing and #relaxation. They suggest finding a #comfortable #posture and #focusing on #directing the #breath to different parts of the body, using the word "relaxing" to encourage relaxation. They also suggest circling the #shoulders and #neck, and using the #fingers to touch and #relax specific areas of #tension. The speaker emphasizes the importance of being gentle and doing what feels comfortable. The meditation ends with a period of #quiet #sitting and a reminder to have a nice day."
Hope it is useful. Nothing too complex. Not too difficult at all ...

🦞Dear Friends of Senile Simpletons #FOSS🤓
As we may know, some younglings are born olde. Some age quickly, like a good whine. Some never grow up.
The useful thing I would guess is finding our besties and berating our beasties. Ideally in the best way unimaginable or better yet beyond imagining.
In other words we find our needs are simpler than our constant consumption. ![]()
