    Health trackers are nanotech now that can live in your bloodstream and give instant data on stress levels, your body’s response to what you just ate, whether your brain is getting enough glucose for the presentation you’re about to give, etc. The data is analyzed by medical AI, and the accuracy of diagnoses skyrockets. This tech revolutionizes preventative care, replacing mammograms, colonoscopies, blood draws, etc, and there are specialized bots that can pinpoint chemo and/or radiation to cancer cells only, leaving the rest of the body healthy. 

     

    There’s a cultural norm not to obsess over the minute details the tech gives, but to first sense into yourself and then occasionally check the data to help tune your sensory compass. 

     

    Doctors and medical professionals give the highly personalized aspects that technology can’t handle, like hugs, healing touch, and empathy.

     

    Bed mattresses have a sub-structure that can analyze the position of your body, spine, muscles, and fascia, and make micro adjustments to your body throughout the night- straightening your spine, putting you in subtle positions that slowly release your muscles and fascia throughout the night, giving pulses that improve bloodflow, etc.

    I think the only problem here is that capitalism wants to make a profit over the story of "X product will help you" versus it actually helping you....

    I want a new archetype for libertarian well-being activist. Maybe it’s an old archetype and some German philosophers have been talking abt it for centuries…

    My climbing gym is called Crux; the original location is moving because the rent is too high, and the landlord won’t work with the climbing gym…

    The gym is in a part of the city that used be considered south, but now is centralish. I think all of austin loses when we lose places like this. We lose our character and our well being.

    I want the landlord to be the libertarian well-being activist. My mom does this for the Relateful Studio. I didn’t ask and no one makes her; hardly anyone knows and she doesn’t get any tax benefits; we still pay her a good bit each month but it’s under market. She’s doing exactly what she wants to be doing with her money and investments: supporting her son’s vision.

    The climbing gym landlord isn’t a bad guy, probably. Maybe he has loads of debt; maybe he has a wound from childhood that he’s trying to heal, but
    Is the climbing gym landlord doing exactly what he wants?

    I want endosymbiosis activists; where what they do is good for the whole and them, and they sacrifice neither. I want this to be a meme, that people strive to be. I want them to brag about it in their hearts, and try to remain undiscovered. I once heard that in Judaism the best mitzvahs are the ones no one knows you did.

    to be clear I’m fuzzy here. Not in any way against capitalism, or market forces putting businesses out of business, just want a fuller grounding into what it’s for

    to add specificity, I think these are the missing steps that lead to "capitalism for the win" being good for all: Crux is barely scraping by Crux is unwilling to increase their prices or cut their costs Landlord thinks his space is worth way more money than Crux is willing to...

    To add a bit more about the profit-driven perspective: inside "capitalism ftw", everything is working perfectly if Crux is barely scraping by Landlord thinks his space is worth way more money than Crux is willing to pay Landlord reaches out to ABP, and ABP says, "yeah, we’re...

    I think where I’m at, from reading just what you wrote and linked, is here: re: integrity: I think what the landlord and ABP are doing is in integrity, unless they’ve tried previously to present themselves as mission-driven, caring first and foremost about the Austin climbing...

    How do we realign the incentives in Healthcare to actually support wellbeing? Currently, there are many conflicts of interest and misaligned incentives in the Western medical system. For example, Doctors by default fight for their patients to live as long as possible, even when that’s not what might actually benefit the patient’s overall wellbeing (or even when it contradicts the patient’s stated preferences), because they rightfully fear litigation for not doing enough.

    In general, the medical system is full of multi-polar traps like this. Collaboration and humility and vulnerability are devalued, because unless everyone simultaneously were to adopt them (which would actually benefit everyone), then individuals suffer for adopting them.

    True. It’s currently aligned mostly with capitalism and fear-of-death.

    Spiritual Promiscuity, do I need a condom? I’ve discovered something about myself that I knew, but didn’t allow myself to acknowledge. I have a natural and lifelong delight in transgressing boundaries playfully, and a fear of abusing that ability.

    When I consider this, I come up with the following as a statement of intent:

    The art of promiscuity applied to the challenge of evolving empowerment to empower evolution tickles my soul in profound ways

    As I’m leaning into this as in intention for myself and letting go of my own arrogance, I find the lifeforce behind the joyousness of Leela (Hinda Gamefulness or playfulness) in transformation, and I want to invite other children to knock down sand castles of late stage capitalism, not with malice, but fully in delight (and not taking oneself too seriously).

    Am I a gift or a curse?

    jordanSA•...
    That said, I got a great insight and increased ability to love people when you clarified on the video that the way your saying it is about how "late stage capitalism" got in you, and you’re kicking down the sandcastles of its structures inside of your psyche....

    I love seeing you claim this lifelong delight and allow it to play more. You’re right, it’s been here all along and now we can delight in it together much more openly. :) I dont fully understand the statement of intent....
