177: Moving The Needle On Your Projects, And Voicing Your Path
episode 177 in the internets
this one inspired somewhat by Isaiah
you want to move the needle on your projects, and not just maintain
we want to have done more today than we could have done yesterday
voicing your path gets you toward there
your voice and thoughts are your direction maker, or rudder
we don’t have room for a path that isn’t ours
a little closing bit on Mac Miller and his departure

176: Avoidance, And The Fear And Issues Associated With It
the things we avoid are the things we get weaker in
bringing attention to a topic is the way to handle it
brushing it to the side gives it more weight than it deserves
we want to keep things light
things that are avoided grow bigger
it represents a fear within
you don’t want to give fear more energy or it can overpower you
you bring your focus like a light to the issue
what is something you have avoided?
is there something you can do about it?
can you target that thing?
who are you afraid will find out about it or will think less of you if they find out?
are you giving those people’s opinions too much credit?
sometimes we avoid what we don’t understand
can you look into it?
episode inspired by Mary

174: Viewing Moments As Their Own Entity, And Creative Input-Output Priorities
on this one I went over a few topics
better to make errors along the way than not do anything
we have times where the thing we did was the last time we would do that
view things as though that time is the only time that matters
including things as part of a group of times can lead to regret
the weight of regret is heavier than any comfort
description about time by the beach in Ventura
input is always lower in priority than output for creative types
your mind is to be kept in mind when doing anything

170: Chapter 1 And Half Of Chapter 2 Of She Has Her Mother’s Laugh By Carl Zimmer
we are in the 170s as episodes go
this one is about the first chapter and a half of Carl Zimmer’s most recent book
it is called She Has Her Mother’s Laugh, and it is about heredity/genes
this section included discussion of many scientists work early on
in the 1400s and 1500s and 1600s, people tried to show off lineage
many kings and prominent families wanted to show their power or clean family lines
inbreeding did not work well to keep family lineage going; forcing something = failure
scientists later in the 1800s and 1900s processed idea of heredity
deVries and Mendel and Darwin are all mentioned here
the book reads very storylike and progresses through time
