PROMPT: Writing
EPIPHANIES.
But, if you think about it, writing is miraculous. In the scheme of gifts that nature grants, it is way out beyond left field. Encoding ideas and images in simple characters in a way that can evoke emotional or cognitive responses in readers is kind of a superpower. (As is reading.)
PROMPT: Live
It continues to offer daily learning opportunities. Plus, the people are friendly and the climate is quite good.
PROMPT: Positive Emotion
Curiosity. I exist in a state of perpetual perplexity. For example, is curiosity an emotion? If so, is it a positive one? I know it includes a feeling that drives me to make a decision or take an action, which would be an emotion by definition. But I don’t see it on a list of emotions. I consider it positive, but I also try to avoid putting value judgements on all things. Maybe it’s neutral. Can an emotion be neutral?…
PROMPT: Plan
Haphazardly with a side of slapdashery.
PROMPT: Emergency Preparedness
1.) Run like hell.
2.) Dive headlong (with perfect timing as the blast begins.)
3.) Sigh with relief as I look back at the roiling fireball.
PROMPT: Word [Overly Used]
“Nazi” and other terms used to hyperbolize the villainy of those who are, at most, moderately villainous. It allows people to dismiss – rather than debate – beliefs with which they are in disagreement, while – simultaneously – it diminishes understanding of the extremes of horror the world has known.
PROMPT: Peace
The Peace Train. [Until it gets to my local hub, from whence it comes on a Peace Scooter.] Sometimes it takes several days for delivery, but other times it’s same day. I guess it depends on whether there is any in stock regionally.
PROMPT: Profession
Nurse. I think it takes a tremendous level of humility and compassion. Also, I suspect it may be among the last handful of human jobs (as we know them now) to still exist once AI-robots start doing pretty much all productive tasks better, faster, and more efficiently than humans. I think long after our doctors are machines, we will have human nurses.
PROMPT: Sell
Experiences and lessons.
