There are many definitions of intelligence and this is something I think about often, especially from the point of view of artificial intelligence.

Improve your learnings while reading by asking yourself pointed questions
I was just listening to a talk from Jim Kwik and he spoke about how retained more information while reading. He states its a complete waste of time if you are reading and not retaining information.

Fear does not exist
I was listening to a talk on my run this morning and heard some awesome information about fear. It is not real, it is a figment of our imagination. Since it is not real, there is not real to let it grip us. As soon as we see that fear, we need to attack and… Continue reading Fear does not exist

I’m not sure why alcohol is something that people even want. I drank a lot of alcohol in my life probably because of the way society looks at it, but it has caused more pain than happiness.

Think about death everyday
In many buddhist traditions, its encouraged to think about death on a regular basis. I remember reading from a zen book: “make sure to treat each visit with your parents as your potential last time you will see them, because eventually it surely will be.” I do think about death to help me focus on… Continue reading Think about death everyday
