There has been a general ‘buzz’ permeating social media this past year. People stuck inside for a year has had us online way too much. We’re reading blog articles and watching videos that we don’t usually explore.

Not only that, but the recent satellite and rocket launches that Elon Musk has been doing almost every week PLUS the Perseverance rover landing on the surface of Mars – has piqued people’s interest in aliens and UFOs (or the new popular term, UAP – unidentified aerial phenomena).

I’m trying to wrap my head around all this. It can be confusing sometimes. Heck, there is even a riff and disagreement between the OGs and young-guns of the UFO-niche community. It’s fun for a newbie like me though.

Which brings us to this question…

I’m not sure yet. Maybe the UFOs are from another country or even some rich billionaire. Who knows. But we are going to find out by summertime 2021, (some of) what the heck the US government knows about UFOs.

Let us know!

Ever since I stopped following major news outlets and reading the news everyday, I feel so much better.

I’ve read the introduction and it was fun. The author, Rolf Dobelli, shares a story of how he was at a dinner party full of journalists, and told all of them that ‘the news is worthless and that their jobs are meaningless.’ It was a tough crowd. But funny.

Perhaps by the end of this book, the author will have convinced me to stop reading the news completely. I’m excited to find out!

I was first introduced to the wonderful writing of physicist, Alan Lightman, about five years ago. I found his book during one of my many autodidact adventures into science.  In that book, Alan Lightman takes his expertise in science and the humanities, and weaves it together with a simple and pleasing writing style.  I was excited (yes I get excited about new books, and you should too) when I saw on Edge.org’s digital library, that Alan Lightman had a new book come out earlier this year, February 9th 2021.  The book is titled, Probable Impossibilities: Musings on Beginnings and Ends https://www.amazon.ca/Probable-Impossibilities-Musings-Beginnings-Endings/dp/152474901X

Today I learned the difference between Asteroids, Comets, and Meteors.

The Headless Way FREE Webinar with Richard Lang and Friends

-I heard of Richard Lang on the Making Sense podcast by Sam Harris (I’m actually subscribed to Making Sense on Apple podcasts)

-Sam’s episode with Richard, is offered in full, which is cool because Sam’s new podcast model is based around a subscription paywall, usually only releasing half-episodes at a time. So this is a treat

-Richard studied under Dougles Harding

-And While listening to the podcast, I remembered that I actually first heard of one of Douglous Hardings works (years ago), in Sam’s book ‘Waking Up’

-The work is titled, “What it’s like to have no head”

-The basic idea of that work is for someone to meditate on the idea of “trying to find your own head”

-Doug and Richard claim that they found their ‘true self’ while attempting to find their own head.

-I have a vague memory of almost achieving this, once, for a brief moment.

-I have to mentioned Richards voice. During the podcast episode I noticed the nice, calm, and easy talking-pace he has. His audiobooks could definitely put me to sleep, in a good way.

-Anyways, I hopped over to Richard’s website, www.headless.org, and found my way to  a page for The Headless Way FREE Webinar, which is on February 10th 7-8pm GMT

-So, I signed up for it

-Here is a brief description of the FREE webinar, taken right from the website "The Headless Way with Richard Lang and Friends. Feb 16th 7-8pm GMT We are going to experiment with offering a webinar – a question and answer session with a panel of friends who will be sharing their experience of living from their headless true nature.”

-I had to remind myself the EST equivalent of GMT, which is a 5 hour difference

-The FREE webinar starts at 7pm GMT so I’ll be watching it at 12midnight EST - a little late but heck it’s only one hour long, and I love me some science learning!

-So if you think you’d be interested in this FREE webinar, you can sign up here at (READ OUT LOUD) http://www.headless.org/news-blog/free-webinar 

-I’ll see you, and maybe your head, there on February 16th!

Today I want to share with you guys some cool news about Elon Musk, and an interesting new technology he's coming out with. I read from an article from Futurism(dot)com. https://futurism.com/the-byte/elon-musk-upcoming-version-neuralink-awesome

Anger

-It’s impossible to stay angry for more than a few moments, you can learn not to stay angry for very long

-Be aware of moments when your mental states fluctuate, for example, you’re sad but something unexpected shifts your mood, and you are now paying attention to something else

-The idea is to learn how to pay attention to negative feelings without judgement or resistance

-Ask yourself, where do you feel anger in your body? How is it arising in each moment?

This may sound a bit too whoo-hoo or pseudo-scientific to some people, but from my experience - just kerning how to be aware of when you become angry is a great first step. A big step to controlling your anger.

Robot Avatars will disrupt entire industries. Maybe all of them.

That's what you call a, 'Secondary Wave': these are the indirect, unintentional consequences of Converging Technologies.  For example, imagine if people had Robot Avatars, they wouldn't need to travel, think of the impact that would have on the airline industry!

Another side effect of Converging Technologies is, crime and violence committed by Robot Avatars - if people could commit violence with their R.A. would it still be their responsibly? What would the laws look like? Let me know!

I'm always on the lookout for cool new science books. I found this one recently titled, "The Future Is Faster Than You Think by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler.

From Amazon "Dr. Peter Diamandis is the Chairman and CEO of the X PRIZE Foundation, which leads the world in designing and launching large incentive prizes to drive radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity." and "Steven Kotler is a New York Times bestselling author, award-winning journalist, founder and Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective."
