No matter the labels or how many we carry, each of us fills a key spot in the mosaic of humanity. In our various communities, here on Anchor, and in the whole of humanity. Revel in your differences, they make you, you.

Yesterday's positivity conversation continued today. We talked: binary communication; time & value; fear of vulnerability; consequences; the role of social media/tech; certainty vs uncertainty & unpredictability; and efficiency vs the importance of hard work, the struggle.

We've witnessed and sometimes been part of the divisive culture of the past few years. While it's still alive and well, some people seem to be reaching for a polar opposite approach to life.

In the next 5–10 years, cars could be reading our minds to steer the wheel, or step on the brakes or gas pedal. After learning a bit more about how the brain work’s a few weeks ago, I’ve got questions!

It's more than 'hard work will lead to success.' Each decision to make life easier now, affects our route and time table for reaching our goal(s). So, what do you value?

I do enjoy the SciFi & Fantasy genres, but I like the stories I consume to at least make some sort of sense. This is true of any fictional genre, really. So, when script writers get lazy, it's particularly annoying. 😂 I dissect a recent scene from Blindspot that was all kinds of ridiculous.
