In this episode we learn where luck ran out for humankind and if it'll ever continue to lead us to drink from the fountain of joy again. Let's find out what's left when there is nothing left and how the entire world could be found on a street corner in Harlem. A true story of a fractaled young mind that returned from a journey to everywhere. With a special bit from our fellow writer, dreamer, and brother, Taylor Cox, we are in for a ride, folks. As a special treat, here is a link to the...

In my previous post, I wrote about how computers are rapidly becoming much more whatever-we-want-them-to-be, and this seems to have big implications. In this post, I explore some of the practical implications I've experienced so far. I mainly use Claude, since I perceive Anthropic to be the comparably more ethical company.[1] So while ChatGPT users in the spring were experiencing psychophancy and their AIs "waking up" and developing personal relationships via the memory feature, I was experiencing

The Cogitating Ceviché Week in Review (25-39)Discussion via NotebookLMEditorial SummaryFrom Gio Marron’s noir tales to Calista Freiheit’s chilling analysis of mental health and civic responsibility, this week’s selections orbit the collision of narrative and ideology. Conrad Hannon returns in triplicate, confronting both the mythos of satire and the farce of modern digital memory. Meanwhile, the cybernetic, musical, and mythic realms spin their own parables, each one whispering a warning or a

Welcome to Infinite Threads. I’m your host, Bob.This week we’re diving into a theme that touches every part of our lives: awareness.Because choice, as we talked about last week, is the foundation. But what comes before choice? What allows us to even see that we have a choice?It’s awareness.And today, in Episode 188, we’re exploring the wake-up calls that life keeps sending us — the ones we keep hitting snooze on.Most of us go through our days on autopilot.We wake up, check the phone, go to work, do

Haunted by What We Don’t Say is an invitation into the silence beneath your skin.The ghosts you carry? They aren’t always people. Sometimes they’re the words you never said. This episode is about the cost of silence— how unspoken truths linger like shadows, how swallowed apologies and withheld "I love yous" follow us through new cities, new jobs, new lives. But what if the past isn’t really past until it’s spoken? Through story, scripture, and soulful reflection, we explore the kind of

I break down the dipolar structure of play—Now as the static proposition (cue-aporia-trigger) where handlers have initiative, and Next as emergent interaction where dogs lead and handlers must become opportunity.You’ll learn why engagement problems are really Next phase problems, how Next always precedes Now (you enter training through emergent interaction, not static setup), and why traditional training only covers half the cycle. The piece maps Flow Theory requirements onto the cycle—Clear Goals

In Episode 46 Landon Saunders explores the difference between paying attention and being aware -- and how Awareness may be one of the most important concepts when it comes to living a joyful life.

In this episode, we explore the subtle yet powerful Stoic concept of protopathē—the initial stirrings of emotion that arise before reason has a chance to intervene. Often misunderstood as signs of weakness or failure, these “proto-passions” are actually natural physiological responses: a racing heart, a sudden flush of fear, a jolt of surprise. The Stoics didn’t condemn these reactions—they distinguished them from full-blown passions (pathē) that result from poor judgment.

Have you ever felt someone’s eyes on you, turned around, and caught them staring? That moment has always fascinated me. It is more than intuition. It is biology, psychology, and energy working together. In this episode of Seduction Tech, I explore what I call invisible seduction, the science and presence behind attraction that happens before touch, before conversation, before logic even enters the room.Humans are wired to sense when they are being watched.

However, when the moon goes into Aries, we often get distracted. We get distracted because everyone is pulling on our energy from different directions, professionally and personally. Everybody wants to communicate. Everybody feels like their specific conversation, their specific issue is more urgent than others."

My thank goodness for my nefarious gambling tour funds. That was almost like money from your parents. But it wasn't because you don't have to pay it back. So there we go. Saw some great shows, some great concerts, Read some great books. So let's get down to it. Best and worst movies of the year."

I break down the four PLAY+ markers—Inceptive, Expectant, Prospective, and Terminal—showing how each serves distinct functions beyond traditional operant conditioning.You’ll learn how Inceptive Markers highlight coupling moments without breaking flow, how Expectant Markers build drama and leverage expectancy, how Prospective Markers enable dogs to finish skills with intent toward the next action, and why Terminal Markers actually terminate flow.The piece covers how enriched marking provides the
