Rants for Peace

A new spreadsheet to work on? I'm so exicted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't really remember what this was about. Ironic!

I asked AI to write an episode description. I gave it the transcript. It was far too salesy, not 'me', and well ugh, just not what I wanted. I don't have the energy to edit it or write one myself. Sorry. It's 2:21am. You have to listen to find out.

If you had 10 minutes to yourself, undisturbed, to just... relax - with no devices people! - would you enjoy it? Would you be able to... relax? This may be question of our times! Find out more by listening to today's compelling, irresistible, and (third adjective) episode!

'Making the world a better place' requires a revolution. It's not going to come from science or technology or economics or politics or crafts. We need to move beyond where we are today at a fundamental, foundational level: re-evaluating the role of thinking in our lives.
