How much of your actions at any given time are on purpose, and how often do they fail to align with it?

Notice the discrepancies between these two.

Love the passion and enthusiasm; they are contagious.

These days it's either:

1. A lasagna post
2. A tiramisú post
3. A Simpsons post

Never been particularly interested in Souls-like games or medieval themes in general either.

I'm gonna give Skyrim and Elden Ring a try, though. They seem fun.

Asked GPT to fuck with my mind. 

This is what it came up with:

Something to Keep You Wondering:

Let’s imagine we create an entirely new language, with no words, just sensations shared directly between people, like we could connect telepathically. What would it mean to be a liar in that context? Could lying even exist if everything is felt directly? 😏 [it actually included the emoticon]

I found that interesting.

With or without it (religion) you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Is your openness experiential and real, or is it rather a notion and intellectual diversion, something with which you've identified yourself?

Authentic openness demands being present and vulnerable, without the armor of knowledge and beliefs, as if one were naked. Since the principle has a quality of uncertainty, it could easily be seen as threatening to your worldview and current sense of self, thus resisted. This is a trap to watch out for.

In what ways do you consciously or unconsciously undermine your own efforts and those of others in life?

What exactly is a perspective? What is the deepest perspective and context that guides your life?

Need to live up to the purpose of the journal and explore different perspectives, not just a variety of content. To me, there seems to be a key difference there. Overall, I've been operating from a fairly consistent framework and "worldview", at times taking the concept of perspective too superficially. I'll continue to goof off here and there, too.

First attempt at making tiramisu: absolute disaster. Noticed three things I did poorly. Next time it'll be much better.

The most effective leaders are those who create an environment in which people can transcend their self-interest and operate from a place of possibility, rather than limitation.
