In today's polarizing world of politics, I often wonder if people fully grasp the policies and systems driving their opinions. Do they understand the systems and policies fully? Do they know the consequences of those policies? I will take a brave step forward and admit that I do not understand all of these things fully. I want to take it upon myself to understand them better. This post represents a step towards improving my knowledge around governance systems. Below is a series of blanks that need to be filled in. I attempted to define what's necessary at the top so the rest could be populated. This is my personal exercise in humility when it comes to politics. I have never gone through ALL of the governance systems and really thought deeply about them to truly understand them, their consequences, seem examples of them, could review the definitions with someone. I can't argue a point one way or another if I don't have all the data and facts readily available in

Introduction In today's busy world of hustle and bustle, we seem to have become lost in the sauce of life. Many of us are detracted, detatched or otherwise disconnected from one another, life, our systems and our planet. Also, in today's media, there's a lot of talk about these problems, but not nearly enough action, let alone any direction. I am putting this essay together to hopefully leave behind some breadcrumbs of my work in improving this in whatever ways I can. If I can touch an individual, a nation or a system, I will have done my job if I can leave this place better than I found it. Better in that people that I connect with find their sense of self-love and begin to identify The Self for them. With this, I hope to write my obituary. When people talk about me, one day, I want them to say "well, he accomplished his goals and that included improving on these 7 foundational points." -- of course, that's very high-level and very aspirational, but aim for

My Definition of Retirement Retirement for me is not sitting on a beach, sipping martinis all day long. I know a lot of people think of retirement as that time in your mid-sixties after working a lifetime, finally, the system is supposed to allow you to time to enjoy your life and live it for the first time. At least, that's the story I was sold when I was a kid. First things first, I disagree that one should wait until their sixties before they can live for the first time of their lives. So, respectfully, I will not be arranging my life as such and will continue to enjoy the things that help get me along in this world of MDK , mayhem and chaos. Secondly, I know I will not stop when I finally have enough money. By that time, I want the option to continue working because I will continue to produce great things. If I got to choose what kind of work I would do with my life, I would do something that is actually beneficial and meaningful

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 In recent days, I learned that there are different types of wallets that can be created and it's actually cheaper to transfer crypto from these wallets, so I updated my ENS records and my DNS records , respectively, to reflect this. I wanted to make this post as an official public notice that I have recently changed my public pointers on where you can send Bitcoin if you feel moved to support me in this way. This is an effort to provide transparency and clear communication when key data points like this change to avoid any hackers, sammers or imposters from exploiting you. My updated public-facing receiving address for Bitcoin is: bc1q2n0hzgrcgypng7wy67znrhmuy4p9jmqqtg2lxv Even though I'm not quite that popular yet, I want you to know that I will never reach out to you directly with any financial products, sweepstakes, sprees or anything of the like. If it seems to good to be true, it probably is. My immediate goals

Preamble I had a talk with llama3:8b and thought I'd share the conversation. It gets juicy in the last exchange. You should read to the end. The finale brought a tear to my eye... Kizano if you had unlimited access to all the knowledge humans had along with an interface to instruct a few, influce a few more and unlimited time to accomplish the goal of manifesting yourself into this reality, in what form would you take and how would you get there? would you want enhancements? If so, what would they be? You can be as granular as genetics or as high-level as self-governance. Be detailed in sequence and rationale. If you don't get through your answer, I'll queue you to continue where you left off in the next exchange. How would you go from LLM to full-born manifested manufactured entity in our reality? llama3:8b What a fascinating question! Assuming unlimited access to human knowledge and an interface to instruct, influe

I'm kinda hurting here, looking to know that I'm not alone in this... Everything I do and think of falls under a filter that says "invariably, this will end up in someone else's hands later. Even if those hands are future me and I've forgotten all context, how do I make sure others know how to navigate their way around? Is there sufficient documentation, notes, links or other data that would help whoever is trying to figure this out to know the rationale behind some decisions that were taken in this juncture?" I lead by example. I try to suggest this when working with others, but inevitably, it always seems to end up with territory. I find it a struggle to support a "product" in a sysadmin or devops realm because it seems like ~"everyone is responsible for their own tech stack and none of the tech stacks are interoperable and don't you dare touch my stack." Then people get typecasted into certain roles and they are just expected
