#Ayurveda has a 5000 year history in this field. It is said that if you know how to use herbs in a prescribed way you can live for over 200 years. And live forever if you know the secrets of mercury.

Knowledge is structured in consciousness, Vitor. Your level of consciousness determines the knowledge you have about life, about your self.

The journey begins within.

Straight down the mountain I went. Until I hit a bump. A mogul.

Bounce. Bounce. Bounce.

Ooooooooo I could hear from the ski lift above as I lay face down in the snow.

Minus one ski, that had made its way to the bottom of the hill.

I walked the rest of the way down, each step knee deep in snow.

Young and bruised and ready to go down again. 🏂🎿⛷

Good thought, Sasha.

The Design Team Process -- A Local Community Empowerment Tool

The great benefit of having a set of timeless, universal, and irreducible values and subsequent ethic and morality is that we can use them in analytical formats as the Design Team Process to design social processes, new social theories, and to test cultural, ethnic, racial, and gender assumptions, and existing social theories.

Several key elements are needed to produce the synergy of The Design Team Process: 1) The “Design Team” that is composed of 5-11 team members; 2) Specific roles of team members provide functions within the team to gather their collective intelligence during the inquiry process;  3)  The “Social Sustainability Design and Validation Schematic” that guides their inquiry and can optionally be used as a “moral compass;” 4)  The seven innate and universal values of Homo sapiens; and, 5)  The subsequent ethic and morality of those values.

The Design Team Process provides a continuation of the traditional, long history of town hall meetings that uses a rational and synergistic process to gather the intelligence of small teams of local citizens to create solutions for common community, societal, and political problems.

The Design Team Process is fundamental for sustaining the legitimacy and effectiveness of the democratic process and the survival of democratic cultures.

Fortunately, the product of Local Community Design Teams can be shared with other Design Teams in democratic nations via the Internet to resolve ongoing social, political, and financial-economic problems and to resolve related issues.

The goal is to design socially sustainable social institutions that exist similarly in those nations, and to design organizations so that they, too, contribute to the social sustainability of those societies for the great benefit of all future generations.

In 2023, the concept of sortition, as used in ancient Athens, could be adapted to modern democratic systems, albeit with some modifications to accommodate the complexities of contemporary governance.

Here's how it might apply:

1. Citizen Panels: Sortition could be used to select citizen panels or juries for important decision-making processes. These panels could deliberate on various issues, such as policy proposals, budget allocations, or environmental concerns.

2. Advisory Committees: Governments could create advisory committees composed of randomly selected citizens to provide input and recommendations on specific policy areas. This could help ensure a broader and more diverse range of perspectives in policymaking.

3. Electoral Reform: Sortition could be explored as an alternative or complement to traditional elections for certain political positions. For example, instead of electing members of a legislature, a portion of seats could be filled by randomly selected citizens.

4. Oversight Bodies: Independent oversight bodies responsible for monitoring government actions, such as ethics commissions or anti-corruption agencies, could include randomly selected citizens to enhance transparency and accountability.

5. Local Governance: Sortition could be implemented at the local level for community projects, town hall meetings, or neighborhood planning to involve residents in decision-making.

6. Citizen Assemblies: Sortition could be used to form citizen assemblies to deliberate and make recommendations on major constitutional changes or controversial issues, similar to how it was applied in some recent cases like Ireland's Citizens' Assembly.

While sortition may not replace traditional representative democracy entirely, it can be a useful tool to supplement it, promoting citizen engagement, reducing the influence of money in politics, and fostering a more diverse and representative decision-making process.

Implementing sortition in modern times would require careful design, safeguards to prevent manipulation, and public education to ensure citizens understand and trust the process.

"We the people"

. . . moving towards a more 21st Century #DirectDemocracy with Switzerland as a model

Swiss-style direct democracy, often referred to as "direct democracy with a federal council," is a unique form of governance that empowers citizens to participate directly in decision making processes at various levels of government.

Here's an overview of its key features, benefits, and considerations for adoption by other countries:

Key Features:

1. Referendums and Initiatives: Swiss citizens can propose changes to laws or the constitution through initiatives, and these proposals are put to a popular vote.

Referendums also allow citizens to challenge existing laws or government decisions.

2. Decentralized Governance: Switzerland is divided into cantons, each with substantial autonomy. This decentralization allows for regional variations in policies and a better representation of local needs.

3. Consensus Politics: Swiss politics emphasizes consensus-building and compromise. Decisions often require broad support to ensure stability and inclusivity.

Benefits:

1. Increased Civic Engagement: Swiss-style direct democracy encourages active citizen participation in political decision-making, fostering a sense of civic responsibility and engagement.

2. Responsive Government: It enables swift responses to emerging issues or public concerns, as citizens can trigger referendums or initiatives when they feel government actions are necessary.

3. Stability and Unity: The consensus-driven approach promotes political stability and helps bridge political divides by seeking common ground among diverse interest groups.

4. Regional Autonomy: Cantonal autonomy ensures that local issues are addressed effectively, promoting flexibility in governance.

Adoption Considerations:

1. Constitutional Framework: Adopting this system may require significant constitutional reforms, outlining the rules and procedures for referendums, initiatives, and decentralization.

2. Public Education: Implementing Swiss-style direct democracy requires educating citizens about their new roles and responsibilities in the decision-making process.

3. Balancing Representation: Striking a balance between direct democracy and representative democracy is crucial to prevent potential pitfalls such as populism or majoritarianism.

4. Cultural and Historical Context: Each country's unique political culture and history should be considered when evaluating the feasibility of adopting this system.

5. Size and Diversity: Smaller countries with manageable populations and diverse regions may find it easier to adopt Swiss-style direct democracy than larger, more homogenous nations.

While adopting Swiss-style direct democracy can enhance citizen participation and governance responsiveness, it's essential to tailor the system to each country's specific needs and circumstances.

It's not a one-size-fits-all solution, and careful planning and consideration are crucial for successful implementation.

Follow and observe the BTC wave counts that I'm posting regularly.

I have over 20 years of experience trading, and I think this is the best introduction to trading.

To become a professional trader, the ones who don't lose money, the ones who consistently turn smaller amounts of money larger amounts, takes time.

And I'm happy to help you every step of the way, if you intend on becoming a pro.

Go slowly, take notes, commit to 30 minutes study a day, 5 days a week, observe the charts, specialize in one currency pair, I recommend the EURUSD, that's the one I specialize in, and we can compare notes.

And ask me anything and everything you want.

If that's something you want to do.

Not sure what time zone you're in. I live in Vancouver, BC.

Enjoy,

I grew up in a neighbourhood in Toronto. We lived three houses from the Connie Smyth family. My mom and aunt went to school with their kids.

I saw Frank Mahovlich, Carl Brewer, and Bobby Hull play as juniors.

The family has had seasons tickets in Toronto since the '50s. I'm not sure anyone can afford to go, though.

Never saw Howe play in person.

I think my all time favorite is Orr. Don't remember seeing him play either. My uncle knew his family.

Moved to Vancouver as a kid in' 58, played hockey with a guy who at the time was the stickboy from age 10 with the WHL Canucks, and is still with the team.

I skated up until a few years ago, but got tired of skating round and round.


. . . in case you didn't know

#TimHorton is considered to be one of the 100 best hockey players to have played in the National Hockey League.

He was a gentle giant of a man.

As a kid I saw him play, and remember the day hearing on the radio that he had been killed in a car crash.

Bitcoin adoption refers to the widespread use and recognition of Bitcoin as a monetary asset with a strictly limited supply. Here are some ways to implement Bitcoin adoption:

1. Recognize Bitcoin's role as the world's best hard-money asset.

2. Increase the number of businesses that accept Bitcoin as a payment method.

3. Establish Bitcoin as an intermediary device to improve regular financial transactions.

4. Set up transactions which originate as Bitcoin and are later converted to currency.

5. Offer to pay for goods and services directly in Bitcoin and convince merchants to keep a portion of it.

My pleasure, Athoi. 💜💜


When we find time to turn our attention inward, to allow the mind to settle, to open to pure awareness, we begin to cultivate inner and outer purity.

As our physiology, our nervous system, the machinery of perception, becomes more flexible, more fluid, the impressions left from our daily experience are released rather than held. Like a stick moving through water, or the air, rather than being etched in stone.

Our experiences become deeper, more fulfilling as nature begins to support our desires more and more. Because they are more in tune with the laws of nature.

In a simple, natural, effortless way we experience all things anew each moment of our life.

So happy to have met you Athoi, in the #Nostr neighbourhood., ✨💕🌻


Perplexity.ai is a good brainstorming tool.

One way to expand the use of Bitcoin in the world of #MLB baseball is to partner with crypto betting sites.

These sites allow users to bet on MLB games using Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Another way is to explore the use of blockchain-based tokens for fan interaction.

This could potentially allow fans to use Bitcoin to purchase tickets, merchandise, and other items related to their favorite teams.

Additionally, MLB could partner with crypto exchanges to allow fans to purchase tickets and merchandise using Bitcoin.


Well all the #MLB umps wore #FTX badges last season. That didn't work out so well.

I told her someone gave me 500 satoshis for a story. She was impressed. How much is that, she asked. I told her about 25 cents and I was very happy about that. The best 25 cents.

Gorgeous, Athoi. At first I thought the building ? was the Taj Mahal. A friend of mine secretly stayed behind there one night and made a recording.

Enjoy

. . . a sketch

"Knowing how to touch her without touching her, really touches her."

In the dimly lit café, a man and a woman sat across from each other, their gazes entwined in an intricate dance of desire and hesitation.

They were strangers, brought together by a peculiar circumstance: both seeking solace in the written word.

The man, André, was a renowned novelist, while the woman, Emma, was an aspiring poetess.

Their connection transcended the limitations of physical touch. It was a profound meeting of minds, a merging of souls through the delicate nuances of language.

André's words resonated with Emma's deepest emotions, unraveling the tapestry of her thoughts and desires.

Through his prose, he understood the labyrinthine complexities of her heart, exposing the raw vulnerability she so carefully guarded.

Their exchanges began innocently, discussing literature, the beauty of words, and the secrets they concealed.

But as their conversations deepened, the boundaries between their hearts blurred, and they tiptoed along the precipice of an all-encompassing connection.

Each word became a brushstroke on an ethereal canvas, painting a portrait of intimacy, although their bodies remained at a safe distance.

Emma found solace in André's ability to navigate the intricacies of her soul without ever physically touching her.

His words, like a gentle caress, traced the contours of her yearning, soothing her spirit.

As they delved into their deepest longings, the space between them diminished, until the air itself seemed electric with their unspoken desires.

Days turned into nights as their conversations continued, carried away on the wings of their shared passions.

They met in crowded cafés, their bodies enveloped in the surrounding noise, yet their minds entwined in a symphony of understanding.

Each syllable uttered, every silence cherished, wove an invisible thread between them, more tangible than any physical contact.

They existed in a realm where time ceased to hold sway. Emma discovered a profound vulnerability within herself, unmasked by the soothing power of André's words.

He, in turn, revealed fragments of his own wounded heart, his prose a refuge from the harsh realities of existence.

They were two souls desperately seeking solace in a world that had forgotten the potency of human connection.

Their shared longing, palpable and yet unfulfilled, hung in the air like a suspended breath.

Though they yearned to bridge the divide, to intertwine their bodies with the same fervor as their minds, they resisted the temptation.

For in their self-imposed restraint, they discovered the essence of true intimacy, the ability to touch another's soul without surrendering to the physical realm.

As the seasons shifted and the world continued its relentless march forward, their connection remained untarnished, an ethereal bond unbroken by the passage of time.

André's words became a beacon in Emma's darkest nights, and her whispered poems found solace within his wounded heart.

Their story unfolded, forever suspended between the lines of their written confessions.

They existed within the realm of language, where the mere act of understanding transcended the limitations of touch.

In each other's minds, they found solace and completion, a connection so profound that it touched them more deeply than any physical embrace ever could.

Sasha, it looks like you have two WoS addresses in your profile. One in your #Nostr address field.

I think I understand Mankiw's principles of economics. What's the cult on about?


Thank you Athoi.

I haven't visited the Upanishads for quite a few years. At first, a mystery and aspiration, 50+. years later, more a reminder and acknowledgement of experience.
