I will acknowledge, however, that the golden age of blogs and journals is behind us. That’s one of the reasons I incudes a video in most posts, whether directed related to the writing or not. Blogging is a losing business monetary wise, and those of us still writing are just happy to share our thoughts and discoveries with the world.
Syding’s latest newsletter post, How the World Work, is very rich in theosophical and existential treaties. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Obviously, I can’t reproduce it here, but he’s keen on *meetings* being the core of everything and consciousness, not matter or time, is what defines existence. [I spoke about the non-existence of time already back in 2019]. Karl-Mikhael Syding ends up signing his newsletter with the title “Aspiring Sheng-Jen”. According to the Oxford dictionary, a Sheng Jen is in China, one who hears the way of Heaven (Tʾien) and develops understanding, often translated as ‘sage’. Sheng-jen is therefore the ideal wise person who penetrates the hidden meaning of all things and lives accordingly.”
This year, I brought to your attention the Indian mystic Sadhguru . I hope you’ve read my book review of his latest book weeks earlier, and that contemporary mystic Sadhguru has inspired you.
In the beginning was a field…Syding says. Not the Big Bang. What happens is human mind can only perceive snapshots, beginnings and ends, labels. These are our limitations. Past, future. Snapshots of the human mind.
I see this “field” as emanating from the present. The future is made now…and so is the past. Poor human snapshots of reality the mind of the common folk is unable to grasp. The Universe is marching towards its end as well as towards its “beginning” concurrently, because there is no “beginning” or “end” to begin with.

DATE: April 16, 2022Dear Applicant,
You got a lot of “yes” votes, so we are delighted to initiate our community-stakeholder interview.
Could you come by Bubble HQ tomorrow and give a thirty-minute ted-style talk to an auditorium of six hundred employees, followed by a Q. & A.? Think of it as one very big interview where everyone can see what you bring to the table!
Your topic is “The Future of U.I.”
P.S. The tone of the talk should be jovial, with some great zingers.
The New Yorker
The never ending steps (streams ?) of interviews. What happened with the two interviews (or three, max.) you used to have ?

| The company, with the help of this lawyer at Wachtel tries to stop Elon, which it argued were more about the drop in Tesla’s shares and its effect on Musk’s wealth than anything else. |
| “Musk refuses to honor his obligations to Twitter and its stockholders because the deal he signed no longer serves his personal interests,” the company said in the suit, adding: “Musk apparently believes that he — unlike every other party subject to Delaware contract law — is free to change his mind, trash the company, disrupt its operations, destroy stockholder value, and walk away.” |
Of course, Elon countersued
So, where is all going ? You can’t force food down anyone’s throat. I don’t see Twitter being able to enforce the buyout.
| Twitter said in its lawsuit that Musk had appeared to abandon efforts to complete his debt financing. And he disappeared when Twitter’s executives, including Ned Segal, its C.F.O., reached out to discuss the figures about spam accounts that Musk had said he was concerned about. |
| Musk also appeared to get rid of executives who were helping him close the deal, such as Bob Swan, a former C.E.O. of Intel, according to the lawsuit. On June 23, Musk told Twitter that he had asked Swan “to depart the deal proceedings, as we are not on the same wavelength.” |
We’ll be watching more of Musk and Twitter, certainly.
To sum up Royal’s advice: take the girl away from her familiar territory, and have her lean on you for support.
That’s what you would do with a spoiled child, wouldn’t you ? (Practically all children in our days are spoiled by their parents)
ALL WOMEN ARE SPOILED, too.
That’s why we don’t spoil them here at Wall Street Financier: Notes from High Altitude…

I’m one of the few people saying that social media has made people dumber.
The article makes some points for extraneural learning or learning outside the brain.

“Not to know one’s true identity is to be a mad, disensouled thing — a golem. And, indeed, this image, sickeningly Orwellian, applies to the mass of human beings now living in the high-tech industrial democracies. Their authenticity lies in their ability to obey and follow mass style changes that are conveyed through the media. Immersed in junk food, trash media, and crypto-fascist politics, they are condemned to toxic lives of low awareness. Sedated by the prescript-ed daily television fix, they are a living dead, lost to all but the act of consuming.”
