Greasing the Groove: The Smarter Way to Build Strength as You AgeWhat if getting stronger didn't require crushing yourself in the gym?In this episode of The Healthy CEO, Jason Wright kicks off a new series on strength, muscle, and longevity by exploring one of the most practical strength-training concepts he's encountered: “Greasing the Groove,” popularized by legendary strength coach Pavel Tsatsouline.As we age, maintaining strength and lean muscle becomes increasingly important—not simply for how we look, but for how well we function. Muscle supports metabolic health, physical resilience, mobility, and our ability to continue doing the things we love as we get older.But building strength doesn't necessarily mean training to exhaustion.Pavel's Greasing the Groove philosophy approaches strength differently: treat strength like a skill and practice it frequently without exhausting yourself.Jason breaks down the philosophy before sharing Pavel's explanation of why frequent, high-quality repetitions can train the nervous system to become more efficient at producing strength.In This EpisodeWhy strength training should be a cornerstone of longevityThe importance of maintaining lean muscle as we ageWhy Jason is placing a greater emphasis on building strengthPavel Tsatsouline's philosophy of simply getting strongerWhat “Greasing the Groove” actually meansWhy strength can be viewed as a skillThe difference between spaced practice and crammingHow repeated practice strengthens the neural pathways between the brain and musclesWhy you don't need to train to failure to get strongerPavel's concept of using a weight that is “heavy enough to respect and light enough not to fear”Why Greasing the Groove typically uses only about half the repetitions you could performHow frequent, non-exhaustive strength work can accumulate significant training volumeWhy staying fresh may allow you to practice strength more frequentlyHow to incorporate Greasing the Groove into a normal dayWhy Pavel recommends significant rest between setsThe relationship between strength, practice, skill acquisition, and neurological adaptationWhy the goal is the perfect rep, not simply more repsThe Basic Greasing the Groove ConceptRather than performing a traditional workout where you exhaust a muscle group, Greasing the Groove emphasizes practicing a strength movement repeatedly while remaining relatively fresh.Pavel describes a general approach of:Moderately heavy weight.Low repetitions.High-quality reps.Long rest periods.Frequent practice.Avoiding exhaustion.The objective is to repeatedly practice the movement so the nervous system becomes increasingly efficient at producing it.In Pavel's words, you're essentially “greasing” the neurological groove between your brain and your muscles.Over time, the same movement can require less effort—or you can apply greater force and become stronger.A Practical ExampleIf you could perform approximately eight maximum reps with a given weight, a Greasing the Groove approach might have you perform only three or four high-quality repetitions.Then you stop.You rest.And later, you practice the movement again.Instead of asking:“How hard can I train?”The better question becomes:“How frequently can I practice strength while still staying fresh?”That subtle change in thinking is what makes Greasing the Groove such an interesting approach to building sustainable strength.Jason's TakeawayAs we get older, strength becomes increasingly valuable.This isn't about chasing a bodybuilding physique or spending your life in the gym. It's about creating a body capable of supporting the life you want to live.Jason is experimenting with new ways to increase his own strength and lean body mass, and this episode begins a larger Healthy CEO series exploring the training methods, tools, and strategies that can help us remain strong and capable as we age.The message is simple:Get stronger. Stay strong. And practice strength for life.SponsorThis episode of The Healthy CEO is brought to you by Authentic Health.Explore the Foundational Stack—F1, F2, and F3—at shopauthentichealth.com and use promo code JASON for 10% off.Medical DisclaimerThe content provided in The Healthy CEO is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

get strong Get Strong or Get Left Behind | Episode 592 Good morning. It's about 60 degrees and not chilly for once. And today we're talking about something that absolutely belongs in the survival category — strength. Not vibes.Not mindset.Not theory. Physical strength. If general physical preparedness isn't a prepping principle, I don't know what is. Strength Is a Survival Skill We love talking about food storage, water filters, and gear. But if you can't pull yourself up over something, drag weight, or move your own body under stress — that's a liability. There are real-world, life-or-death scenarios where being strong saves you. Pulling yourself up Lifting something off someone Carrying weight under fatigue Defending yourself You don't want to be a weak couch potato hoping your gear saves you. Establish Your Baseline Before you get strong, you need to know where you are. Four lifts tell you almost everything about your strength: Push press Back squat Deadlift Bench press Get your one-rep max on each. You don't need a fancy stat. But those numbers? They're honest. You can't improve what you don't measure. Three Months of Focused Training Here's the strategy. Not “go to the gym and mess around.”Not “move a little weight and scroll Instagram.” Focused, purposeful training. A three-month strength-building phase. Add weight weekly. Two to five pounds per lift if possible. That's progressive overload. You can't just coast forever. But you can: Push hard for 12 weeks Build real strength Maintain it through the year That's sustainable. Pick a real program. Starting Strength is solid. Don't invent your own random plan unless you know what you're doing. Nutrition: The Part Nobody Wants You can't slam Oreos and Diet Coke and expect muscle. You need: Adequate protein Sufficient calories Consistency For me, maintenance is around 2,800 calories. After eating in a deficit for a long time, ramping up to that is going to feel like work. Gaining strength without gaining fat? That's the sweet spot. Too skinny and weak? Bad.Overweight and sluggish? Also bad. There's a bell curve for health and longevity. Moderately strong.Proper hormones.Not obese.Not extreme bodybuilder huge. That's the lane. Why This Matters for Survival If you pack on strength, you can coast. You won't keep every pound forever, but you won't crash either if you maintain properly. Strength: Improves resilience Increases confidence Extends functional life Makes you harder to victimize This isn't vanity lifting. This is capability. If you had to pull yourself up right now, could you? That's the question. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com.DIY to survive.

The world of Peppa Pig is tackling an important issue... Peppa Pig's younger brother George will be revealed to be moderately deaf and fitted with a hearing aid in a new storyline set to tackle childhood hearing loss. Joining Shane to discuss the importance of representation in Children's TV shows is Danielle Mc Laughlin, Director of Advocacy and Communications at CHIME, Ireland's National Charity for Deaf and Hard of Hearing and Lisa O'Sullivan Shaw known as ‘Modern Irish Mom,' on Instagram

China's central bank says it will continue to implement a moderately loose monetary policy in 2026, using tools such as the reserve requirement ratio and interest rate cuts to maintain ample liquidity.

Adam creates a hypnosis session to help a client drink moderately on an upcoming holiday to Italy. Adam helps them think of 1 or 2 small glasses with a meal as their ideal amount, with an option, but without any obligation. This is all about choice, so that they don't feel limited, but empowered to drink a little if they choose to, and not if they don't.

Jacob Ward warned us. Back in January 2022, the Oakland-based tech journalist published The Loop, a warning about how AI is creating a world without choices. He even came on this show to warn about AI's threat to humanity. Three years later, we've all caught up with Ward. So where is he now on AI? Moderately vindicated but more pessimistic. His original thesis has proven disturbingly accurate - we're outsourcing decisions to AI at an accelerating pace. But he admits his book's weakest section was “how to fight back,” and he still lacks concrete solutions. His fear has evolved: less worried about robot overlords, he is now more concerned about an “Idiocracy” of AI human serfs. It's a dystopian scenario where humans become so stupid that they won't even be able to appreciate Gore Vidal's quip that “I told you so” are the four most beautiful words in the English language. I couldn't resist asking Anthropic's Claude about Ward's conclusions (not, of course, that I rely on it for anything). “Anecdotal” is how it countered with characteristic coolness. Well Claude wouldn't say that, wouldn't it?1. The “Idiocracy” threat is more immediate than AGI concerns Ward argues we should fear humans becoming cognitively dependent rather than superintelligent machines taking over. He's seeing this now - Berkeley students can't distinguish between reading books and AI summaries.2. AI follows market incentives, not ethical principles Despite early rhetoric about responsible development, Ward observes the industry prioritizing profit over principles. Companies are openly betting on when single-person billion-dollar businesses will emerge, signaling massive job displacement.3. The resistance strategy remains unclear Ward admits his book's weakness was the “how to fight back” section, and he still lacks concrete solutions. The few examples of resistance he cites - like Signal's president protecting user data from training algorithms - require significant financial sacrifice.4. Economic concentration creates systemic risk The massive capital investments (Nvidia's $100 billion into OpenAI) create dangerous loops where AI companies essentially invest in themselves. Ward warns this resembles classic bubble dynamics that could crash the broader economy.5. “Weak perfection” is necessary for human development Ward argues we need friction and inefficiency in our systems to maintain critical thinking skills. AI's promise to eliminate all cognitive work may eliminate the mental exercise that keeps humans intellectually capable.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Scott Bauer surveys the commodities markets. He is still “moderately bullish” on Bitcoin as it hits news highs but is a “little concerned” about a “buy the rumor, sell the news” event this week. On the U.S. dollar, he attributes its recovery to euro weakness and says there's still pressure to move lower. He previews the June CPI report, released tomorrow morning, saying the market could sell off if the number comes in hot.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

(pronounced Birr Island) This long, slow Devon day, is drawing softly to a close. Looking out to sea, the sky beyond has already fallen velvet black. It's midnight. Scattered lamps shine on Burgh Island. It looks from here more like a dark thicket, afloat on a vast water field. With glow worms, hiding.  The tide's in now. Closed around the island. Encircled it, with rich undulating sound. Filled up the wide sandy beach, for as far as the eye can see, with swirling shallows. Ankle deep. As the sea meets itself coming in across the causeway, it splashes up fingers of crisp white spray.       Some gulls are still aloft. High wheeling, but mostly quiet. Silently weaving between the stars. Riding on the diurnal winds. the off-shore breeze, or land breeze, created by the land-sea temperature contrast that happens at this time of night. * As with all Lento episodes it can take several minutes for your listening brain to properly switch into the soundscape. This one hour segment is from an overnight recording we made in April. The Lento box is perched on a second floor balcony looking straight down the causeway towards Burgh island, which is only about 200 yards from the box. Due to the topography of the beach and how it contours around the island, the sound-shape of the sea is interestingly different to other coastal locations we've captured. The breakers form and gather spatially, often very slowly, with long periods of swirling eddies in between. High tide is reached towards the end of this segment. Moderately strong wind gusts sometimes buffer the microphones. As a recording location it is exposed. We've applied some spot rumble reduction when this happens just to improve the experience for headphone / Airpod listeners.

Content note: This episode includes discussions around intentional weight loss and diet culture, and therefore contains some swearing.This episode is part of a podcast series called The Body Stories. I'm joined by my beloved friend and fellow coach, Ali Shapiro. Over the next year, Ali and I will have an occasional and ongoing conversation about the nuanced relationship with our bodies. These are tender conversations, and at times, I will be in the coaching client seat. Our hope is that listening in will spark your own exploration of your body story.

Dana Lyons, Fund Manager and Editor of The Lyons Share Pro, joins us to share what factors are having him continue to take a moderately defensive posture in the broader US general equities in the near-term. He reiterates that their quantitative models alerted them to go short or reduce positioning in some general stock market sectors back in December.  With regards to relative strength we review the rotation of some money rotation in the markets from growth into value, in a potential flights to safety with the current macroeconomic backdrop. We also get his thoughts on some of the capital flows heading overseas into European stocks.    Dana shares insights on market internals like breadth, sentiment indicators like the put-call spreads, investing flows into inverse ETFS, and survey and the trends in the underlying term structure in vehicles like the VIX.   His models have not signaled the bottom is in yet, but these choppy market movements could be getting closer to a period where they will start looking for a bottoming and turn if things accelerate further the downside in the near-term.  In the medium-term Dana still sees the potential for one more blow-off top move in US equities, and then in the longer-term a more structural bear market that will work off the excesses of the last 15 years of bullish market action to very high valuations and participation.   Next we got into how some of the value sectors like utilities, financials, consumer staples, bonds, and gold have been getting some capital inflows, possibly as the growth and tech sector has cooled off over the last few months.    Dana notes that this situation may not persist, and their models don't show that the bull market in growth stocks is finished yet, but stresses the importance of considering trades over different time frames.   We wrap up diving into some of the capital flows into European stocks, and if he believes it is just a trade or more sustainable.  We also discuss other jurisdictions, notably some capital flows into Chinese markets, and Dana explains why they need more data first to know it is more than a just a contrarian speculation just because they were so oversold.   Click here to visit the Lyons Share Pro website.

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 20The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastNew Discoveries on Earth's Elements, Uranus's Moon Ariel, and the Fate of Comet AtlasIn this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into a groundbreaking study that challenges long-held beliefs about the origins of Earth's missing moderately volatile elements, such as copper and zinc. This research suggests that rather than being lost during the early formation of the solar system, these essential elements were likely retained by the first planetesimals and lost later due to violent cosmic collisions during planetary growth, reshaping our understanding of planetary chemistry and habitability.Uranus's Moon Ariel: A Window to Its InteriorWe also explore the fascinating trench-like features on Uranus's moon Ariel, which may serve as conduits for internal materials. New research indicates that these medial grooves could provide insights into Ariel's geological history and potential subsurface oceans, highlighting the complex interplay of tectonic and volcanic activities on the moon's surface.Comet Atlas: A Dying WonderAdditionally, we discuss the fate of Comet G3 Atlas, which has recently passed perilously close to the Sun, resulting in the fragmentation of its nucleus. As it fades from view, Atlas becomes a headless wonder, leaving behind a trail of debris that will continue to orbit the Sun. This episode also features a look at the stunning night skies of February, including the iconic constellations and celestial events to observe.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 20 for broadcast on 14 February 202500:49 New insights into Earth's missing elements06:30 Trench-like features on Uranus's moon Ariel12:15 The demise of Comet G3 Atlas18:00 February night sky highlights22:45 The constellation Orion and its myths27:00 Exploring the Pleiades and other celestial wonders30:15 The significance of the Milky Way in stargazingwww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

Dr. Matt Chalmers, a healthy living expert, joins Marc & Kim to discuss the findings of a major study, that says moderate drinking actually lowers the risk of death.

I've never been an athletic super star. Decent, sure. Moderately skilled, absolutely. But as someone who spent the majority of her teen years hospitalized and sick, a time when so many of my friends with athletic prowess were engaging in sports at a more serious level, the whole team play thing never really landed for me.  So joining a work team, largely male, whose lens of perspective come heavily from sports-oriented, masculine energy thinking, it's been a fascinating journey to discover what playing TEAM means. There is no “I” in team, but there is … “ME”. That's where I go this week. In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it's time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn't easy. That's why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, each episode invites curiosity.  Curiosity not about what people do, but why they do it. Who they are and what makes them tick. It's about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not. A mix of solo episodes where Cathy shares her insights and experience or Cathy engaged in conversation with fascinating humans doing amazing things. No matter the format - it's unvarnished, radically honest and entirely unleashed.  This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy works with symphony orchestras, corporate clients, and individuals to help them unleash and untether their leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages. #brutalhonesty #radicalhonesty #consciouscommunication #leadership #Conversation #connection #TalkUnleashed #fiercecompassion #UnleashedConversation #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash

Guest: David Heinemeier Hansson, CTO & co-owner of 37signals and creator of Ruby on Rails 37signals CTO David Heinemeier Hansson has organized his life around his passions: Writing, racing sports cars, and coding. “ Why aren't we all doing that?” he wonders. “Why aren't we all trying to optimize our life in such a way that much of it is enjoyable?”Part of the problem, David argues, is that it's impossible to find a creative or productive flow inside of mainstream work culture. Open offices, managerial over-hiring, and sloppy scheduling prevents people from reaching a flow state.“40 hours a week is plenty than most people,” he says. “... So many people today are focused on just adding more and more hours.

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with the latest messaging from Beijing on efforts to stimulate the economy in 2025 and beyond. Topics include: Politburo language that echoes 2008, muted reactions from the mainland markets, why the ultimate policy decisions may not be made until the PRC has more clarity on Trump's intentions, and more. From there: Nvidia finds itself at the center of an antitrust probe, while the PRC restrictions on critical minerals are broader than initially thought, and drone components are now also being restricted from export to the US and Europe. At the end: Reviewing last Friday's verdict from the DC Circuit in TikTok v. Garland, and charting the next steps for TikTok and the Trump administration as January 19th approaches and TikTok faces a ban in the United States.

Вот и наступил последний месяц осени... Настроение соответствующее! Данный микс, наверное, самый позитивный из всех моих техно миксов 2024 года. В нем нет ни одного "проходного" трека (на мой субъективный взгляд, естественно), очень много вокала и мелодики, но скрежет, лязг и кислота тоже никуда не делись - щедро раскрашивают палитру микса на всем его протяжении! Умеренно так... Но достойно! В таком разнообразии и есть весь кайф Peaktime / Driving Techno! Слушайте, танцуйте, наслаждайтесь!!!So the last month of autumn has come... The mood is appropriate!This mix is probably the most positive of all my techno mixes of 2024. There is not a single "passing" track in it (in my subjective opinion, naturally), a lot of vocals and melodics, but the rattle, clang and acid have not gone anywhere either - they generously paint the mix palette throughout! Moderately so... But worthy! In such a variety and there is all the thrill of Peaktime/Driving Techno! Listen, dance, enjoy!!!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Destabilization of the United States: The top X-factor EA neglects?, published by Yelnats T.J. on July 15, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Highlights 1. Destabilization could be the biggest setback for great power conflict, AI, bio-risk, and climate disruption. 2. Polarization plays a role in nearly every causal pathway leading to destabilization of the United States, and there is no indication polarization will decrease. 3. The United States fits the pattern of past democracies that have descended into authoritarian regimes in many key aspects. 4. The most recent empirical research on civil conflicts suggests the United States is in a category that has a 4% annual risk of falling into a civil conflict. 5. In 2022 (when this was originally written), Mike Berkowitz, ED of Democracy Funders Network and 80,000 Hours guest, believes there is 50% chance American democracy fails in the next 6 years. 6. For every dollar spent on depolarization efforts, there are probably at least a hundred dollars spent aggravating the culture war. 7. Destabilization of the United States could wipe out billions of dollars of pledged EA funds. Note following the assassination attempt of former President Trump This is the extended version[1] of my 2022 draft submission[2] to the Open Philanthropy (OP) Cause Area Competition. I am releasing it today because the section on accelerationist events and protecting politicians from assassination seems very salient given the last 24 hours. (Thanks to Woody Campbell for relevant and possibly prescient thoughts on the latter). The overall topic of this piece is also salient for this 2024 election year. I have been pleasantly surprised how many EAs have mobilized this year around the issue of protecting American democracy… I wish this had been the situation back in 2020 or after January 6th or after I pushed this on the Forum and EAGs in 2022. Democracy is jeopardized not because of a single candidate but because of the forces that made the viability of such a candidate possible. Thus this issue cannot be addressed only in election years. The worry I've had this year is that EAs will prioritize this area only until election day and then forget about it after January 20th, 2025. The degradation of American democracy and stability is not stopped only at the ballot box, and the forces/dynamics that are driving that degradation have continued unabated despite every red line[3] that has been crossed to date. And I'm not optimistic that the red line crossed yesterday will be any different. Preface Epistemic status: I have thought a lot about this over the years and was warning about risks to American democracy before the topic entered mainstream and often sensationalized discourse.. I could be more well read on academic literature, however I think it likely wouldn't change my views much on diagnosis and prognosis of the situation[4] but could greatly influence my views of the prescription. This is a topic that lends itself to getting lost in the rabbit hole and alarmism. My greatest hesitation about the gravity of the situation is the fact that many very intelligent people come to very different conclusions than me; however, I have yet to see an argument I found compelling. I think the probability of a destabilizing event rests a lot on people's subjective judgements. Below is an overview of my confidence on a few items in this piece: Very confident that destabilization is more likely than EAs appreciate. Confident the consequences of destabilization make it an X-factor. Moderately confident it's neglected financially relative to severity as an X-factor and relative to money injected annually into polarization efforts (read: culture war). Very confident the problem is quite difficult to solve. Very low confidence in most proposed interventions; modest c...

Today is the first day after former president Donald Trump's historic felony conviction in New York. Trump vows to fight the verdict, and we get reactions from a financial analyst and people on Wall Street. U.S. inflation tracked sideways in April and consumer spending weakened, mixed signals for the Federal Reserve that provided little clarity on whether the U.S. central bank will be able to begin cutting interest rates in September.Tesla is recalling 125,227 vehicles in the United States due to a malfunction in its seat belt warning system that can increase the risk of injury in a collision, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Friday.

Today we talk about the distinction between left and right. Lacan's thoughts on desire. How Capitalism captures desire and identity. I would prefer not to. Moderately conservative communism.

Episode 286  What does it mean to drink moderately?  Hello! I'm glad you're here.  This episode will help you understand what it really means to drink moderately. I will share the latest research, and then we will look at what it looks and feels like to be the moderator of your drinking. I'm going to share my experience with trying to be a moderate drinker and why I couldn't.  I talk about the "moderation game" I played with myself and why just a little alcohol wasn't enough.  This episode is for you if you're working at drinking moderately and disappointing yourself because you can't moderate your drinking and feel bad about yourself that you can't. This episode is not meant to make you feel bad about your drinking.  You are not alone if you are having a hard time drinking less. I'm with you.  Read this episode's full show notes here.  Mentioned in this episode:  Florence And The Machine: Moderation    Do you want help in creating a plan to stay alcohol-free in April?  I will help you create a simple and flexible plan in April and every month after inside my community Team Alcohol-Free.  You are not lacking willpower, but chances are you may be missing out on a plan, and a supportive community to help you see it through.  Join Team Alcohol-Free today!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Raemon's Deliberate ("Purposeful?") Practice Club, published by Raemon on November 15, 2023 on LessWrong. Introduction So. I have a theory of feedbackloop-first rationality. It has a lot of parts. I think each part is promising on it's own, and I have a dream that they interconnect into something promising and powerful. I also have a standard, which is that you should be able to tell if it's helping. One of those parts (I think/hope), is "the generalized skill of Deliberate Practice." That is, the meta skill of: Noticing that your goals are bottlenecked on some kind of skill (or skills). Figuring out what those specific skills are. Figuring out who can teach you those skills, or, how to teach them to yourself. Creating an explicit practice regime. Actually putting in the work to practice. Noticing when your practice isn't working, and figuring out how to troubleshoot your process. I do not currently have this meta-skill. I am kind of betting that it exists, based on reading books like Peak, talking with Romeo Stevens, and reading stories like László Polgár who methodically taught his daughters chess. I think I've made progress in the two months I've been working on it, but that progress hasn't translated into "I quickly gained multiple skills" yet, which is the standard I feel like I should set for "this is actually working well enough that other people should be paying attention." I'm experimenting with using this my dialogue format for journaling my explorations here. I'm inviting a few people I know well to be top-level dialogue participants. Everyone else is welcome to follow along in the comments, and note down their own deliberate practice experiments. This will include a mixture of high level theory, and day-to-day practice notes. Okay, reviewing some of my goals here. Here are things that feel like valuable end-goals in and off themselves. I want to get better at prioritizing projects at Lightcone. Right now I feel very "in the dark" about whether anything we do is even helping. I have some guesses for the subskills here. I want to figure out whether/to-what-degree the Meta Deliberate Practice skill can meaningfully be applied to "research" (alignment research in particular, but also generally). Get better at programming. Get better at emotional regulation. Moderately often, I get somewhat annoyed about something and it makes a conversation go worse (or, builds up some small resentments over time) Get better at sleeping, somehow. Get better at Downwell, (a game that I have struggled with beating for a long time), quickly. (This one is mostly for fun) The actual point of this project are the first two bullets. The thing I feel most excited about "rationality" for (compared to, like, learning specific skills, or other frameworks for dealing with problems), is to solve problems that are confusing, where having an accurate map of the world is likely to be your primary bottleneck. The latter bullets are things I care about, but I'm mostly interested in them right now from a lens of "looking for things that seem genuinely worth doing that feel more tractable to practice." Some particular subskills that I feel interested in practicing, but mostly because I believe they somehow help with the above: Get better at making calibrated forecasts (related to decisions I care about). Get better at Thinking Physics problems (I think of this as a testing ground for some subskills related to research) Estimation (i.e. find concrete things to practice estimating, with an eye for getting better at estimating value of fuzzy projects) I want to make a terminological note that may not be that helpful but it is at least related and might be interesting. I recently read "Peak", which is the pop-sci book by K. Anders Ericsson, the discoverer of deliberate practice. In it, he uses anoth...

There are few theories regarding God's grace in Indian philosophy:1. It is earned through good works (karma)2. It is earned through devotion (bhakti)3. It is earned through renunciation (tyāga)4. It comes as a result of two equally strong samskaras bubbling up at the same time and checking one and another, thus artificially stalling all future karmas from fructifying (karmasāmya) Using some arguments from Abinava Gupta's commentary on the Mālinīvijaya Tantra, we'll show why all of these are absolutely wrong.  We'll demonstrate how:(a) grace comes from the independent, playful will of Divine Mother.  (b) since all this is verily śiva, God is really ever gracing Herself.We will also, Mā willing, respond to a few objections regarding grace:1. If there is such a thing as grace, then, surely God is partial to some and not to others? Why would she keep some in bondage and liberate only a few?2. If God is playfully enacting her will a bondage and liberation, then, why bother? Why go through the trouble of bondage at all?3. If God's grace is the only operant factor in a person's liberation and if God's grace cannot be earned through spiritual practice, why bother to engage in practice at all?Naturally, we'll review the 9 grades of śaktipāta (grace) in Abinava Gupta's classification. This will help us gauge what level of spirituality we are currently at so that we can better enjoy our time as aspirants!Also, we get to talk a little about enjoyment and renunciation in spiritual life and why renunciation is an absolutely natural, easeful and effortless process, like we started talking about last week! (anādara virakti).And finally, if there's time, I want to share some quotes from Utpala Deva's Shivastoravali to show how Devotion is the highest attainment in Kashmir Shaivism (i.e. bhakti is the total ripening of jnana, which is itself synonymous with liberation itself) thereby linking it so Sri Ramakrishna's views on the same!  The 9 Levels of Śaktipāt:1. Tīvra tīvra = Intensely intense = videha mukti2. Madhya tīvra = Moderately intense = jīvanmukti3. Manda tīvra = Weakly Intense = jīvanmutki4. Tīvra madhya = intensely moderate = krama mukti5. Madya madya = Moderately moderate = krama mukti6. Manda madhya = Weakly moderate = krama mukti7. Tīvra manda = Weak but Intense8. Madya manda = Moderately weak9. Manda manda = Weakly weakQuotes from Abinava Gupta's Paramarthasaraādarśe malarahite yadvad vadanaṃ vibhāti tadvad ayam |śiva - śaktipātavimale dhītattve bhāti bhārūpaḥ  ( 9 )  As a face shines forth in a spotlessly clean mirror, in the same way the supreme Lord who is of the nature of illumination shines forth in the buddhi (intellect) tattva that has been purified following the descent of divine grace by the Lord.   paramaṃ yat svātantryaṃ durghaṭasaṃpādanaṃ maheśasya devī māyāśaktiḥ svātmāvaraṇaṃ śivasyaitat  ( 15 )  The supreme Lord's great freedom, which is capable of accomplishing the most difficult task, is called the Goddess Maya-sakti. It serves Paramasiva as a veil to hide Himself.kambukamiva taṇḍulakaṇa - viniviṣṭaṃ bhinnamapyabhidā |bhajate tattu viśuddhiṃ śivamārgaunmukhyayogena  (18)The husk existing on a grain of rice, though existing separately, appears inseparable from the grain. But [the fettered being, who similarly seems attached to his fetters] attains purity by turning towards Siva through Yoga and treading on his path.svajñānavibhavabhāsana - yogenodveṣṭayennijātmānam | iti bandhamokṣacitrāṃ krīḍāṃ pratanoti paramaśivaḥ  (33)Lord ParamaSiva liberates himself from bondage by loosening its grip through the glory of knowledge of the Self. Thus bondage and liberation are his divine pSupport the show

Podcast 357: Stories from the 60s, Part 1 Today's podcast will be a little different. I had the good fortune to be alive in Palo Alto, California during the late 1960s. For me, it was a magical era of happenings, the Haight-Ashbury District in San Francisco, psychedelics, war protests, civil rights activity, cool music, learning about life, and cutting an awful lot of medical school classes! But what I learned on the streets was far more valuable in my later career as a psychiatrist, working with real people with real problems, than anything I learned in medical school. It was an era of magic, to be honest. In fact, to me, California has always had the feel of magic. And that magic is still alive and well, happening every day, at least in my life. Let me know if you like these stories. I shared them at my weekly Stanford training group, and publish the recording of that evening's training session here, with trepidation. Some of the stories are pretty far out. If you like them, and want more, I have a lot more, which I've listed below. Just let me know, and I'll gladly start babbling again. . .  IF I haven't been arrested! If you'd like to see one of the R-rated but gorgeous Larry Keenan photos taken at my “Uptightness” happening, you can see it at this link: Look for the photo called “The Kiss.” https://www.larrykeenan.com/prints Larry Keenan, a brilliant young commercial photographer at the time, attended my “uptightness” happening and took many fantastic photos that day. Larry became a famed photographer of many of the greats of the “Hippy Era,” like Bob Dylan, Neil Cassady, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and a host of others. Sadly, Larry passed away several years ago, but I will always be grateful to him for the gorgeous and now-famous photos he created that day in the infamous but glorious 60's!

Nerd. :) It is funny coming from David and I believe he used it affectionally... most of use won't get away with the term "Chainaman" perhaps Asian American Loved the group tonight n/a Nothing I disliked. My answer of "somewhat insecure" from above was about my comments and whether they were helpful or "good enough." Please describe what you specifically liked about the training? What was the most helpful? Were there some things you learned? I really enjoyed learning from David's stories. Thank you for sharing these personal stories with us. I had been looking forward to the evening's stories but I didn't know emotional and impactful they would be. I was especially touched by David's & Cai's tears and appreciate how much they both shared. It had to be especially difficult to share over Zoom because sometimes it can sound flat. With most people muted it can be hard to hear the feedback from the audience but the connection still felt very powerful. I truly appreciate your openness and willingness to show your vulnerable side. Just like many others, I was deeply moved by your heartfelt tears as you shared stories about the woman you believed would succumb to cancer, your beautiful encounter with your wife Sara, and the journey of creating "Uptightness." You didn't have to let us into those deeply intimate and personal experiences, and for that, I am genuinely grateful. This was absolutely amazing! It couldn't have been more special. Thank you Dr Burns! You are a national treasure and gift to us all. Can't wait for the podcast so that I can re-live it exposure and being uncomfortable with adult stuff so silly but real for me I was touched by the depth of emotion David manifested in telling some of the stories, his deep compassion and humility, and the reality of celebration of sadness. I liked feeling closer to David both from his sharing deep feelings and by his telling about life events like how he met Melanie. It was cool to have stories illustrating powerful lessons and even some that illustrate the mundane (e.g. mostly not a lot happened when David spent a week disclosing every feeling). What a wonderful night. These stories brought that time period alive for me, and having not lived through that era, that was a real treat. The only thing I was surprised about, and a bit sad, was seeing that David appeared to be a little self-conscious or something. David, I hope I can reassure you that even though I was silent and didn't have any questions, you had my full attention. It was like watching a profound and entertaining movie. - Ed W I really loved hearing about the spiritual connections with others that you had, David. I also loved seeing the photos afterward and you showing us who you were talking about in your stories. What a beautiful, magical time! Some very interesting and very touching stories. Made me feel closer to the group and gave some insights into the 60s and the development of TEAM CBT That was beautiful. More and more I'm convinced therapy is art verified by science. This very human tradition of telling stories is so important to our work as therapists/people. I enjoyed this greatly. A two hour work of art I was fortunate enough to have experienced. Thank you, much love. It was mesmerizing and holy God listening to the stories now I understand how he could have come up with such an amazing Tool It was lovely to travel back in time and get snap shots of David's live in the 60s. I appreciated the tender moments of sadness and also the spiritual mystical moments. I like David even more knowing that his calling was to council people, and the journey he has taken to become a conventional healer. It is an honor to be part of this training, almost feels like a type of lineage. I mostly found it just very enjoyable and fun and salacious. But I also liked the tears and the parts about people hiding their suffering and how we all really suffer but often have a hard time showing it. That was beautiful. Fabulous! How wonderful to learn more about David, learn about his "weird" past and shadow side, and share in his authentic expression of intense feelings. He really opened up and it did make me feel closer to him! The desert story was inspirational to me, and Cai's story as well...I, too, love the book Siddartha. Interesting to learn of the origins of techniques such as Externalization of Voices and Downward Arrow. Really contextualizes it for me. Not to mention bringing the "magic" of California in the 60s back to life. Thank you! Left me yearning for more! It was a spellbinding evening, and it felt to me like we were right there with you, David, in the desert seeing the multicolored clouds with our tears flowing, or at the psychodrama marathon crying for the woman who was dying, or on in a field with you and lots of naked ladies at the "Uptightness" event. And now it makes so much sense to me how your methods like EoV and the Downward Arrow all grew out of these experiences you shared with us tonight of tapping deeply into that River of Emotions that you talk about. Thank you, David, for sharing this with us! Seeing David's tears. Love him even more. Learned so much from the stories I liked this evening very much. I felt very close to you, David, and to the others who shared, and I felt honored to be a part of it. There were so many good stories. I think your story of being in the desert and the woman suddenly giving up drinking might be an example of a powerful prayer-- I know it sounds pretty goofy and I would have thought so too when I was an atheist not long ago, but I've had some experiences that have really led me to believe some seemingly goofy things. Please describe what you learned in today's group12 responses It was such a moving & emotional evening filled with incredible stories, some of which seem too wild to be true but you certainly had the pictures to back it up! Even though I'd been working with the pictures they really came to life after hearing the context and learning more about the people in them. Thank you! It was terrific to hear the origin story of the greatest psychotherapy approach ever developed the founding go team cbt I learned it is unnecessary to be uptight except for cinematic purposes. We are all connected and affect each other on an energetic level

Manton talks to Daniel about releasing MarsEdit 5, his excitement aboutthe positive reactions, and his frustration about it not being approved by Mac App Store Review. They grapple with the uncertainty that app review opaqueness creates, and Daniel wonders if he could have done anything differently to make things go more smoothly. They talk about the mind-blowing impact of OpenAI's ChatGPT, and about the implications of machine learning on human creativity. Finally, they weigh the pluses of minuses of AI in general, and Daniel wonders whether he could fake virtually any job with the help of the technology.

We continue familiarizing ourselves with all these teams at the start of the season, with a focus on TOR/MIA, GSW/DEN, HOU/MEM, ATL/ORL, plus some smaller notes on the Spurs, Pacers, Thunder, and Pistons.Plus, Friday Daily Duncs.Friday Daily DuncsRob MurphyThe Pistons are investigating assistant general manager Rob Murphy over an allegation of workplace misconduct involving a former female employee, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Hopefully, the investigation will produce a just outcome.James Edwards III of The Athletic profiled Murphy in August.LeBron JamesLeBron James drew attention to the Lakers' lack of quality 3-point shooting after they shot 10-for-40 (25%) from beyond the arc in their season-opener.Well, they shot even worse – 9-for-45 (20%) – in a loss to the Clippers last night.LeBron:"Our ballclub is our ballclub, and I'm definitely not going to sit here and harp on what we can't do every single game. That's not a leader. What I know we can do: We can defend our ass off. And we did that tonight, which gave us an opportunity to win, and we just couldn't make it happen. But, I'm OK with that."LeBron both tries to be a good leader and sometimes makes passive-aggressive comments. In this case, he has already made his point. The Lakers' roster has a crucial flaw, particularly for a LeBron team. The front office heard that. Not much else to be done at this moment.At some point, LeBron might try to accelerate the Lakers' trade timeline or reiterate what he wants a trade to accomplish.But for now, LeBron is seemingly settling into trying to win games with the teammates he has.Darvin HamRussell Westbrook said coming off the bench in the Lakers' preseason finale "absolutely" could have contributed to his hamstring injury.Lakers coach Darvin Ham:"First and foremost, let me be clear with this. The Lakers, myself, my staff – we in no way, shape or form would ever put anybody – a player, an employee – in harm's way, be it physically, mentally, spiritually. We don't stand for that. We're not about that. That's not who we are."Ham said he and Westbrook had a "brief discussion."Ham:"We moved on. We've got an understanding. And again, as the coach of this team, my staff and I, we're going to do what's best for our team to be as successful as it can be. And I'll just leave it at that.”Ham was hired in part for his ability to hold players accountable. Westbrook is a different challenge. But Ham sounds resolute.Ham, via Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register:"You have to be prepared to do whatever your team needs you to do,” he added. “And that's called being a professional. So, however we choose to use him, there has to be a willingness there to sacrifice for your teammates and the overall good of the team if that course of action is going to lead to success.”The true test will come if Ham decides bringing Westbrook off the bench would be better for the Lakers. And, really, we might not know if that happens. We'll know only if Ham follows through. Assuming the coach does, we'll see how Westbrook buys in – and how Ham responds if Westbrook makes more waves.But for now, Ham can call this latest issue quashed.Christian WoodWhich of Luka Doncic's Mavericks teammates has been the best player? Kristaps Porzingis set the bar while fizzling, which says something about the bar. I'd say Jalen Brunson last year.Tim Cato of The Athletic analyzes whether it might be Christian Wood.Wood isn't even starting for Dallas. But he's darned talented and, as Cato details, has already shown nice chemistry with Doncic. That seems sustainable given the multiple ways Wood can attack the pick-and-roll. If Wood defends a little better – I believe he's capable – this pairing could really work.Santi AldamaDanny's pick for biggest surprise player – Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama – looks pretty good. Starting at power forward with Jaren Jackson Jr. out, Aldama scored 18 points on 3-of-8 3-point shooting and grabbed 11 rebounds in Memphis' season-opening win over the Knicks on Wednesday. The Grizzlies outscored New York by 18 in his 39 minutes (and got outscored by 15 in the other nine minutes).Damichael Cole of the Memphis Commercial Appeal looked deeper into Aldama's performance, including how the slender Aldama held up defensively against the burlier Julius Randle.Victor WembanyamaWant more Victor Wembanyama hype? David Aldridge of The Athletic talked to six NBA personnel people about the presumptive No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft and delivers plenty.My favorite quote:It's not just his skill. It's the flexibility he moves with. It's incredible. It's like seeing a giraffe, but a giraffe that's moving like a completely different animal. And you're going: ‘Wait a minute; that's a giraffe, it's supposed to move slowly.' And, meanwhile, it's like this giraffe that's a predator. The giraffe is hunting you. And you're going wait, what? It's something we've never seen before.It's also interesting how Aldridge's sources seem divided on how to best deploy the 7-foot-4 Wembanyama defensively.One: "He's not a switch defender; he's a drop guy."Another: "He slides and moves so well, if they put him in pick-and-roll, he can switch. There's not a lot of fives in our league that can do that."A third: "He's a four. He's not going to be able to guard threes out on the perimeter all the time."A fourth: "No one that big is going to stay in front of prime-time NBA guards consistently out on the perimeter. But he has enough lateral movement — it's probably the best I've ever seen in anybody that big – that he'll surprise you from time to time on some stuff out there. But the great equalizer, if you blow by him, you talk about some guys that'll be looking over their shoulder as they're going to the basket. You could beat him, and he could be at the free-throw line, and he takes one step and he's pinning the thing."A fifth: "If whoever he gets drafted by ever had some type of conception of utilizing a zone? Can you imagine having a backline (with him) – or maybe even putting him in the top of defenses, trying to see over this albatross of a player?"Pick swapsPick swaps have become the rage as teams look to circumvent the Stepien Rule, which prohibits trading future first-round picks in consecutive drafts. Pick swaps allow teams to convey value in consecutive future drafts by retaining a first-rounder every other year, albeit a lower first-rounder.Think of pick swaps, and the first one that comes to mind is probably Celtics-Nets in 2017. As a condition of the Kevin Garnett-Paul Pierce trade four years earlier, Boston swapped its first-round pick (No. 27) for Brooklyn's (No. 1). The Celtics traded down to No. 3 and picked Jayson Tatum, who has developed into a star and left the Nets (and 76ers, who moved up to get Markelle Fultz No. 1) looking foolish.But pick swaps don't usually work like that.Zach Kram of The Ringer dug into the history of pick swaps and found most don't even get exercised. He determined the average value of a first-round pick swap is the No. 36 pick.Kram's research and presentation are certainly useful. Read his article, and you will be more informed.But I think he underplays the upside of pick swaps. The draft – and therefore, draft picks – are about upside. For many teams, the draft is the best – maybe only – way to get a franchise-changing star. That's more likely to happen high in the draft.A high second-rounder might have the average value of a pick swap. But only an unprotected pick swap has that limitless upside. That carries significant value.At some point, successful teams have all hit big on a player. Moderately positive moves aren't enough. You can keep hitting singles. But in a league with 29 other teams, some of them will hit home runs and surpass you. If you want to get to the top, you sometimes have to swing for the fences – even if you're more likely to strike out.Scoring recordYou probably know LeBron James will soon pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the NBA's all-time scoring record. Do you know how many points Abdul-Jabbar scored? I sure didn't.Finding an excellent angle on such a well-covered storyline, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times looked into how few people know the number and why that is. This is a really cool article.After reading it, I can tell you Abdul-Jabbar's career scoring mark is 38,387 – a number I'm sure to forget by tomorrow.Rudy Gobert/Karl-Anthony TownsNikola Jokic has become an All-NBA mainstay at center. Joel Embiid and Anthony Davis are likely All-NBA players when healthy, which isn't always. Often, it feels like one spot is left for Rudy Gobert or Karl-Anthony Towns. In fact, Gobert or Towns – but never both – have made All-NBA each of the last six years.Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic explored how Gobert and Towns viewed each other while foes and now teammates with the Timberwolves.Thanasis AntetokounmpoThanasis Antetokounmpo actually played a small role on the Bucks last season as a defensive specialist on the wing, helping to shed the image he's in the NBA only because he's Giannis Antetokounmpo's brother.But good luck convincing anyone now.Video caught Thanasis picking Giannis' nose before Milwaukee's win over the 76ers last night.In defense of Thanasis, it wasn't a deep pick. He did the ol' thumb-out move. Though technically a pick, that's barely more than a scratch.In prosecution of Thanasis, it was someone else's nose!-Dan FeldmanMore episodes are available exclusively on Dunc'd On Prime!
