In my view, the mind of multicellular organisms is the most complex part of any lifeform. The body is mostly a standardization tool (eg, arms, drinking, eating, head, legs) to protect and support the mind. In my view, the soul is the linking pin between individual and universal consciousness. Might the complexity bias of the mind be heading towards being part of...
According to Wikipedia and many business articles (eg, Forbes), there are 5 criteria for effective goal-setting: (1) Specific, (2) Measurable, (3) Achievable, (4) Relevance, and (5) Time-based. Goals are omni-present in our lives (eg, home, school, sports, work). How do we - or Artificial Intelligence (AI) - determine that relevance?? My answer would be: I know it...
My thought above also appears to be a quote by Charles Dederich. Initially, I assumed it applied to someone whom I had just met online.

Dating appears to be a game or a leisure activity rather than anything serious. Perhaps, I’ve given up although I doubt that. I’ve just accepted reality. If anyone serious...
Last Monday’s blog mentioned the apparent emptiness of existence that I seemed to witness during my Italian trip. It scared - and still scares - me. Actually, I had already felt that notion during my 2014 trip to the Dominican Republic, my 2017 blog. As far as I’m concerned, the emptiness of existence results from an absence of remaining goals in life. Hence, you...
