Good Morning On Purpose

Everyone came out to walk today! The sun was shining, the air was clear, and everyone was out for a walk or jog with friends and family. Which makes recording audio really hard! In today's episode I discuss the importance of fresh natural food, think on the benefits of macro and micronutrients, and explore the nuances of peoples' varied relationships with nourishment. Enjoy!

Quotes:

"I think that if we want to change the way people eat, we need to change the way they live. We need to create a culture of food that is based on values of community, sustainability, and pleasure. We need to make food a part of our everyday lives, not something that we consume mindlessly or out of convenience. We need to make food a source of joy and connection, not guilt and anxiety." - Alice Waters. “Slow Food Nation: Why Our Food Should Be Good, Clean, and Fair.”

“I believe that good food should be a right and not a privilege, and it needs to be without pesticides and herbicides. And everybody deserves this food. And that’s not elitist. What’s elitist is to say that you deserve it and someone else doesn’t.” - Alice Waters.

“I think that food, like a lot of other things, is a form of expression. It’s a way of communicating who you are, where you come from, what you care about, what you enjoy. It’s a way of sharing your taste, your values, your stories. It’s a way of connecting with others and creating a sense of community. Food is not just fuel, it’s culture.” - Alice Waters

Ask yourself - are you dehydrated right now? In this episode I discuss health, hydration, and hippocrates. I also think a bit about what would happen if we had no computers or internet or access to transportation, but that's certainly not the point of the episode. Stay hydrated, and enjoy!

Today's episode came about from the residual headspace of one of my writing projects. This is something I wrote afterwards, and decided to share it here. I spent a bunch of time this morning reading haiku, but couldnt find anything that fit what I wanted to say, so took a shot at composing some myself. Please interpret it as you will, and enjoy!

In this episode I think about existence, artificial intelligence, multiverses, and infinities. From my point of view, we have to power to impact and influence all of these things. This episode gets pretty abstract and may not make much sense, but certainly ends with a positive message if you can hang in there. Enjoy!

In this episode I grapple with sleeplessness, insomnia, and doubt. In the process of trying to organize these thoughts and express them I spent hours trying to track down the origins of quotes and reading old essays and writings. Take what you can from this one, and enjoy!

Quotes:

"Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother. Doubt is a foundling unhappy and astray, and though his mother who gave him birth should find him and hold him, he would withdraw in caution and fear." = Khalil Gibran

“Now, Kalamas, don’t go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, ‘This contemplative is our teacher.’ When you know for yourselves that, ‘These qualities are skillful; these qualities are blameless; these qualities are praised by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to welfare & to happiness’ — then you should enter & remain in them.” - Siddhartha Gautama

"Dubito, ergo sum. vel. quod idem est, cogito, ergo sum" - Rene Descartes
