The challenge is to be happy NOW, and NOW, and NOW.
It sounds so easy, almost RIDICULOUS, but that's the recipe that Abraham-Hicks gives us.
Fantastic progress in terms of my YouTube video system.
I realized last week that I needed a MUCH improved legal protection, so i had to basically start from scratch and devise a substantially expanded, more comprehensive system before I could release my first video.
So I am taking the "turtle" approach. But I am now quite close to finalizing the "legalese" (another week, perhaps?), to make sure that I can continue being on YouTube for a very long time, practicing MY version of "free speech".
Have a great day!🤓🤓
What a day! It's chillier, and I like it! Feels like the body is working better when it's not so warm outside!
Have a great day!🎐🎐🎐
Why not watch one of AMAZING games in the "China Smash" table tennis tournament? If you like the speed of NHL hockey, maybe this could be for you?
Have a great day!
just taking a look at last weekend's WSL game between Liverpool and Manchester United. Surprisingly interesting to watch, actually!
Have a great day! ⚽️⚽️⚽️
Just ordered Harry Frankfurt, "On Bullshit" (Princeton UP, 2005).
What's this thesis? Don't know yet. Exciting!
Have a great Saturn-day! 😀

The "lesson" from Abraham-Hicks is this: Being on a more positive and emotionally stable platform (on average) is an EPISTEMOLOGICAL achievement.
By this we mean that "being happy" confers KNOWLEDGE advantages for the subjective consciousness that can keep themselves in such a positive and optimistic mood.
In other words, on average, people who are UNHAPPY are NOT receiving the same amount of good ideas as happy people are.
So the happier we are, the better ideas we receive.
Have a great WEEKEND!! 🚗🚗🛒🛒🚡🚡
Real wealth is an abundance of GOOD IDEAS.
If you just get a good idea at the right time, life becomes easy.
And how do you get good ideas? You do it by prioritizing GETTING HAPPY over everything else.
Development of the legal "intro screens" is going somewhat slower than expected.
But taking the "turtle" path is preferable when we are dealing with complex legal matters: we need time to review, rethink, and adjust the parameters and arguments on these screens to provide the best protection possible.
So an extra week for this might be necessary. We'll see.
Have a FUN FRIDAY "out there"! 😀😀
Just ordered Alvin Goldman's old "Simulating Minds: The Philosophy, Psychology, and Neuroscience of Mindreading" (Oxford UP, 2008), where he outlines his famous "simulation theory".
Interesting!! 📚📚📚

What do we do when we get some "error 2104" from Google Gemini, or a message that "your subscription just ran out" although you have 11 months left on it?
We take it easy.
We note that the time is 7 pm (CET) on a WEEKDAY, and say to ourselves: "Gemini just doesn't have the bandwidth to cope with both Europe and the US being online at the same time."
So we prepare some delicious supper, watch some interesting documentary or fun Hollywood movie, and just wait until the typical "traffic jam" period is over a few hours later.
No big deal. It's "business as usual".
So RELAX! HAVE FUN! 🤓🤓🤓
Can we get our first YouTube video out before the end of the week? It's possible, if everything goes according to plan. So it's going to be an exciting week!
Have a GREAT day! 📽️📽️📽️
Also ordered Albert Einstein's 1921 lectures at Princeton, collected in the Chapman & Hall edition from 1967 called "The Meaning of Relativity".
This will be interesting reading, indeed! 😀😀

Just ordered Fulvio Melia's "The Black Hole at the Center of Our Galaxy" (Princeton UP, 2003) which talks about Einstein and a black hole "indeed lurking at the center of our galaxy".
But all such attributions, of course, are nonsense. For Einstein's theory wouldn't admit that. As I argue in my "Emotional Selfishness" book, neither Einstein's framework nor Newton's worldview would admit any of that. You would have to accept an Aristotelian-Ptolemaic system or similar to do it (hello epicycles!).
So it's just another non-scientific, non-philosophical strategy from the cosmologists and astrophysicists to save a "commonsense" universe "out there". 😀😀

Just now starting to design my two "disclaimer" screens for my YouTube videos.
Just to avoid any "misreading" of any of my videos, I am very explicitly stating, at the very start of every video, that this is just "entertainment" and should not be construed as any "counselling" or "legal advice" or "professional advice", etc.
Have a great day "out there"! 😀😀
Fantastic progress today!
1. My coordinated color palettes have now been computed. I have decided to use FOUR color schemes (each using 14 nuances) to implement my "power point" images. All of these had to be computed, after which SOME values had to be re-calibrated to become more "easy on the eyes".
2. The basic Photoshop templates have now been set up with each of these colors, and a readjustment of certain detail was made.
3. This means that the process is easy: for each chapter (2-3 mins of video time), choose a color. Then, whenever a new chapter starts, chose another color. Thus, a chapter is a "color" thing.
Have a great Monday! 😀😀😀
P.S. the pic below shows the potential BACKGROUND colors. Then we also have standardized certain TEXT colors, separately.
I should have said: 3. This means that the process is easy: for each chapter (2-3 mins of video time), choose a color and the Photoshop template document that has this color. Naturally, once you have selected the color, you then have to design the "cards" and "screens" in there.
In other words, selecting color is just the start of the design work. But it gives us a clear workflow.
