Meditations
Digital instant communication has eroded the value of good news that we receive about ourselves. When we get good news, we feel great, and the first thing many of us want ti do is text our significant other or someone else that has an interest in our life, usually, if you examine the intention deeply, in an effort to gain validation from them. When we immediately get that good news; I’m talking the immediate moment that you get that good news—you get that email, you finished that phone call, you get that payment—immediately when that feeling hits, we immediately think about who we can share with. But that in-the-moment sharing dilutes it for ourselves because we're proxying something that is already valid onto someone else for validation, and oftentimes they don't validate it to the level we already validated it for ourselves, which leaves us feeling let down, and the good news feeling is gone. We need to hold on to that isolated, personal good-news moment for longer. Broadly: we need to not instantly communicate more. Instant communication should be as valuable as the Star Trek Enterprise instantly communicating to Earth; they only do it when absolutely necessary. Otherwise, hold onto it for yourself because it can wait, and I guarantee that sitting with that good news alone and waiting to share it with someone when they are naturally available—when you have actually crossed paths—that feels good, that feels real, that feels better, and it doesn't leak or diminish the positive energy you just generated on your own.
Biologically, you are binary. There are binaries in the universe. There is total separation. And one of those things that is totally separated is sexual reproductive organs. You need male and you need female at the extreme polarities, because without them, you can't create life. No amount of political or ideological influence can change that. There is no in-between, biologically. Non-binary is a social contagion designed to encourage individuals to voluntarily dehumanize themselves in the name of identity, belonging and purpose. When you remove the "he" or "she" and call yourself "they" you are removing that which makes you holy, that which makes you divine, that which makes you human. Robots don't have sex organs, humans do. Are you a robot? No. Don't chop up your body. You were born with the right parts, period. Be whatever "gender" you want, just please don't cut into or mutilate your flesh.
Working with my father who is 88 is an incredible gift. Read that again slowly: working with my father, my 88-year-old octogenarian father is an incredible gift. Why? Because he's 88 and still able to work. That sets the tone for what’s possible for me. My father sets the tone for what’s possible. That is part of what our parents are for us, a role model, whether we admit it or not, it's how it works. And while we may need to work on removing some of our parental programming throughout life, we should not remove it completely without pause.
WordPress was getting big. It was actually already a monopoly and the drama with Matt Mullenweg was showing that. Then here comes AI to balance the scales naturally. WordPress had their moment in the spotlight of mainstream media and then 18 months later Claude shows up. What I’m saying is that Claude and AI development agents are gonna take some of that "WordPress powers +40% of the Internet" stat down. My prediction is that it's hopefully down to 30% within 10 years. That way we have a handmade/DIY/independent/autonomous — sovereign camp of another 30%, and then 40% of whatever forms the rest of it.
