Jaye Patrick: St Patrick

quote: Henry Miller

A man writes to throw off the poison which he has accumulated because of his false way of life. He is trying to recapture his innocence, yet all he succeeds in doing (by writing) is to inoculate the world with a virus of his disillusionment. No man would set a word down on paper if he had the courage to live out what he believed in. -Henry Miller

Online Social Optimization

Online Social Optimization: "Over the next few months, I'll be presenting a series of videos designed to explore what I and the others who initiated the Public Individual Mastermind Group have developed since the publication of The Art of Memetics in 2008. Suffice it to say, these videos go beyond what I initially released at the start of Public Individual, and reflect two years of study. The core of this mastermind group was the use of the Public Individual Identity Tracker, available at http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pilPmRnL3UZr8_o0bvCimcA&output=html On this spreadsheet we've listed a number of URL's you'll find useful."

Becoming What You Do

Becoming What You Do:

"Things that place one under stress have survival significance to older physiological systems, which is why experiences that are paired with stress are imprinted more strongly into the preconscious mind. As a result, bonds formed in the face of stress are more intense. As long as our responses to stress are fixed and predictable anyone aware of this can direct us like puppets. Yet the goal with stress isn't to eliminate it, but rather to design more appropriate responses to stressful situations; stress, at its most basic form, is readily available energy caused by the situation itself. It is important to have access to useful and necessary immediate reactions, instead of reactions that cripple or completely shut down one's actions." - The Art of Memetics
