If the number of atoms in the universe are as individual as humans attempt to be, there would be no cohesion, no matter would form, for even if the numbers attract one another, then it would be a simple blob of conformity, you see the chance of humans having true individuality, would prevent the growth of society, for each would have a voice unheard for another's ears could not comprehend what it hears, for all the variants that make up time and space, humans have simply failed the race, more alike than grains of sand, tear them down where they stand, to climb a hill with no top, humans gleefully jump right off, divisions come from freedom thoughts, but our souls have been bought;

“in #analytics, the #data in production is the data in people's heads, “#insight” is relative. It is dependent on what people already know. You can't tell people something surprising without knowing what is expected; you can't tell them something interesting unless you know what they think is boring. As my first-grade art teacher Ms. Hunt said, “#art is in the negative space.” Insight isn't the data; it is what's not in our heads.”

It was a sunny morning and the birds are chirping, but after another sleepless night of pain, the old man tore his stiff body out the unforgiving bed, as classical music played he stumbled to make his coffee, and as he stepped outside, he wondered why am I even awake today, no breath left within his chest, a body crippled by time, the beauty of the morning held no value in a life of desperation and pain, shuffling back inside to pour his coffee, he knew its just another day where hunger would loom in his belly, where pain and suffering would consume his day, shuffling to his chair he sits down without anyone to care, for alone in despair no one cares at all.

“The #LiberalParty has accidentally left part of its email provider’s #subscriber details exposed, revealing the types of #data harvested by the party during the #election campaign.

This gives rare #insight into some of the specific kinds of data the party is keeping on voters, including whether they are “predicted Chinese”, “predicted Jewish”, a “strong Liberal” and other #PersonalInformation.”

Crikey · ‘Predicted Chinese’, ‘predicted Jewish’: Liberals accidentally leave voter-tracking data exposedBy Cam Wilson

Can such technology be used on Mars from now on? #InSight would still be alive had it been equipped with such a dust shield.

"NASA’s Electrodynamic Dust Shield (EDS) successfully demonstrated its ability to remove regolith, or lunar dust and dirt, from its various surfaces on the Moon during Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission 1, which concluded on March 16."

Solving our problems with material and technology is like covering up the weeds of the mind. It helps take the edge off and buys time.

Next is solving problems by calming and managing suffering and stress. It helps us get to a better mental space, quickly. This is like trimming the weeds.

Finally there is the practice of looking within, developing insight and improving our skill of seeing ourselves more clearly. This is uprooting the weeds once and for all.

It just occurred to me that when someone asks for information that you could easily find online:

  1. they're not asking for the information, and
  2. it's not easy to find things online

Let me explain, Tarantino-style.

  1. People often say "G00gle it!" because if they found it that way, then so could you. This is actually a poor assumption. Not only do search engines vary results based on location and other factors, more importantly, the person who you are saying "Juugull EET!" to IS NOT YOU.

As an individual who is particularly skilled and experienced in technical matters, not only do I know the right search terms to find a thing online, I also (and this is crucial and leads to point number 1) know what I'm looking for.

  1. People don't want just any information. They want information that is:

• credible,
• vetted,
• trustworthy,
• reliable, and
safe

With all the information and misinformation online, all the scams, and hacks, and frauds, it seems like everyone is out to make a buck off you, legally, or not. With my tech experience, it is trivial to spot scams and know good information from bad. However, the training and experience I have wasn't easy and came after years of study and exposure. Not many have it.

People don't want information. They want assistance that is trustworthy, safe, and reliable. Those of us with tech skills might remember that the next time they go to tell someone to "Yoogl It".

Things that are simple to some, are mountainous to others.

At the liminal place where polarities are equally balanced is where insight is attained. That delicate point of perfect equilibrium where with a breath or the lack of a breath the fulcrum might be shifted either way and the vision lost. Thus did Odin hang at this threshold nine days and nights, finding wisdom between extremes.
