In the spirit of Sufi Buddhism, observe the room's energy when you enter/exit. Replace your snide remarks and ego-driven sarcasm with wit, born of keen observation and compassion. With this shift, you turn from a dissonant note to a harmonious chord in life's symphony.
Sarcasm is but a desperate cry for external validation. It's an unrefined attempt to seize erudition, to assert superiority. It's the ego's poison, its deceitful words betraying intent. If there is genuine disapproval, let it be voiced with courage and clarity.
Contrastingly, wit uses knowledge, expertise, and wisdom to uplift collective understanding. A witty remark enhances, never belittles. In sarcasm, no one is elevated, only diminished. Observe this subtle, yet profound difference.
To learn about complex systems, think about how your body works. You can't gain or lose 10 pounds in a day because your body has rules and regulations. To lose fat, start with weight training for at least 40 minutes. Weight training uses the sugar in your body without oxygen,
which is called anaerobic exercise. Then, move on to cardio but keep your heart rate low. You want your heart to flush your body with oxygen, which won't happen if your heart rate is too high. Aim for a heart rate between 50-70% of (220-your age) for 30-40 minutes.
Take one or two deep breaths every 5 minutes during your cardio. Do weights before cardio to take advantage of your body's energy system. It burns stored sugars first, then switches to fat burning, but only during slow, steady cardio.
What you should do instead of SMS #2factorauthetification is use something like an authy app. @1Password has one built in but there are others. Authy is a mobile and desktop application that provides two-factor authentication (2FA) services to help secure your online accounts.
You download and install the Authy app on your device.
You set up two-factor authentication for your online accounts that support Authy. This involves scanning a QR code or entering a code into the Authy app.
Whenever you log in to a supported account, you enter your username and password as usual, and then you are prompted to enter a code generated by the Authy app. This code changes every 30 seconds, and only you can access it through the Authy app on your device.
The whole #2factorauthetification thing and why SMS is a bad idea.
SMS messages can be intercepted or redirected by attackers, which could allow them to bypass the 2FA protection.
SIM swap attacks can be used to steal a victim's phone number, which would allow an attacker to receive 2FA codes sent via SMS. SMS messages can be delayed or lost, which could prevent a user from receiving their 2FA code in a timely manner and potentially lock them out of their
account. SMS-based 2FA is vulnerable to phishing attacks, where attackers can trick users into giving up their 2FA code by sending a fake login page and asking for the code.
Why don’t people constantly using machines see results? 1) Machines have to be profitably mass produced and cater to everyone. Square holes. Round pegs.
2) Generally a pulley system divides the weight you use. Some machines use 3 pulleys further dividing the load.
It’s how we build things when machines weren’t around. The trade off is you have to pull over a longer distance but the pay off is you don’t have to apply as much effort. If it’s a single pulley, it’s not divided. Anyway. To sell to people, give them the motion.
Let them feel like they are accomplishing things. Even if what they are accomplishing is 1/4 of what they are doing. That beats nothing right? Gyms have a magic problem per @rorysutherland. They need you to feel good even if what you are doing is a waste of time.
Compare that India was forced and given British common law. The underlying structural values mapped onto Hindu scriptures and the Indians forked that which was originated in Greece. You can't force things on to people. People have to question the underlying values
and accept/reject it. The Indians took the democracy kernel forked from Britain and wrapped with APIs from their religious scriptures and made a whole new thing that generates stability and value to their people and serves that nation.
Contrast what the Americans did to Afghanistan. They not only forked the best version of Democracy but they also gave them the ABIs & the fundamental bare metal APIs. What did the Afghans do? They saw the errors of mapping freedom/democracy with their faith and balked.
