...and that most of all, the universe is rooting for me. It's rooting for all of us.

Today, I will do my best to see the challenges of my life as sacred.

What's harder is believing at the same time, it is *deeply* personal. Believing that the universe knows me more intimately than I know myself. That it knows my karma. It knows exactly what I need to grow, to become less afraid, and to fully express the loving potential of my particular heart...2/

Would be curious about this, too. As someone with tinnitus for 10 years who’s also sat a lot of “silent” retreat, all I can say is I have become very intimate with my inner ringing ☺️

we need AI therapists because we feel lonely, disconnected, and anxious about…living in an unconscious and dehumanizing culture where AI therapy is a thing. Got it.

Still, there are likely use cases where it can be helpful. Both things can be true.

Anytime I read about "solving death" through life extension tech and "digital immortality," I think about these. We should (wisely) develop tech that supports well-being - but let's not get confused. Even if we live for thousands of years, at some point, that will end, too. All we ever have is now.

Thank you! I think I tend in the opposite direction 😄 I mostly worked in the ecommerce space before realizing I didn't care all that much about ecommerce 😂
