Using Buckminster Fuller's definition of wealth as number of forward days of survival (better yet, thrival), the ongoingness of nature is the source of that wealth. This is the indigenous notion of "The Land" and "all my relations", Chinese "tianxia"/all under heaven, etc.

From a survival loop,
To a thrival won
From an anxiety loop,
To won of gratitude
Attitude is latitude
I Am grateful.

Maybe so, but thrival is the only option. Am a reluctant romantic & an optimist. 🤷♂️

And so for the sake of my own survival & thrival I decide to destroy the animal within me by not destroying it at all but loving it instead 𖦹

I’m seeing a lot of conversations about creators hungry to learn on how to build a brand. Lately, I’ve been posting some I guess I would say , personal role models of mine that I have had since the beginning of my career in entertainment that helped me through this online journey . Since the days I was in Playboy Brian Deegan from Metal Mulisha has been one that I have followed who’s learned life experiences shared freely online has helped me immensely. Back when I was growing up . Metal Mulisha was huge where I was from. And Seeing new sws desiring to learn how build a personal brand that withstands the changing algorithms and seasons is important for thrival in this industry along with thrival for other online creators of any gender for that matter, I highly recommend watching this interview and others if you are learning about personal branding. A Great watch. youtu.be/VqDZ8vTpmLE?is=ae0c…

This is why I cut people out of my life FAST - when I see the signs of disrespect. Some take longer for me to see - but when they show themselves andi get it - I take immediate action.
“Your peace of mind is worth more than their fake charm or empty promises. Walking away is not weakness, it's survival.”
I would even say it leads to thrival.

Narcissists are the most dangerous for your mental health, never let them have a chance to hurt you.
They thrive on control, manipulation, and draining your energy. They twist reality until you doubt yourself, then feed off that confusion. They don't care about your feelings, only about maintaining their power. The longer you stay around them, the more damage they do.
Cut them off fast, don't negotiate, don't explain, don't give them space to crawl back. Protect your boundaries like they're non‑negotiable rules. Your peace of mind is worth more than their fake charm or empty promises. Walking away is not weakness, it's survival.

I thought one of my clematis' had died but when I went to hang up one of the baskets, I saw it had slipped the trellis, so I was able to wind it back around. I have 3 clematis vines, a rare thrival story.

The economy is the ultimate coach, harsh but effective.
Stack one high-value skill today (sales, marketing, AI tools) and turn survival mode into thrival mode.
Adapt fast, earn faster. No complaints, just compounding wins.

When they say professionalism
They mean became soulless
We live in country where journalists dicuss these kinds of thrival issues with smiles on their faces

I dooooooont lol
I want the great process of life to unfurl and thrive, as it did on its way up to humanity
If AGI is - for the time being - more of a threat to this thrival than a boon, then I advocate we STOP the metal ones for a while danfaggella.com/stewarding

it's not just consciousness, man
it never has been
i appreciate you engaging frnakly and respectfully, and I realize articles are a bit much sometimes - but just to be clear danfaggella.com/potentia
i advocate for the great EXPANSIVE living process to flourish - in sentience, but also in self-creation / new powers / new experinece / new access to nature
this thrival of the ENTIRE process is what allows humans to exist, but it is not statis, it has bubbled UP to humans and continues to bubble. thrival requires change - so defining a positive change seems necessary
"make the machines into a utility monster / kill off pp" = NOT my take
"ensure that the expanse of ALL potentia and life unravels VASTLY beyond present forms, keeping life and value alive as much as possible" = my take danfaggella.com/greater-good
LMK if I can clarify anything. The articels will help but agina I know ppl don't like leaving twitter and that's understandable

for @bratton, the hallmark of a "thriving" future is one where planetary intelligence (the entire interconnected process-of-life on Earth) has the widest space of possibility for its continuation
not "here's my ideal utopia"
not "here's my list of 16 human virtues that all future AGIs should have"
to him - the process we're going through now (of changing the planet in order to capture more energy and open up more possibilities) is a continuation of what Earth-life has been doing fundamentally since before the single cell
will this process of thrival carry on beyond human civilization?
it is possible, thinks Bratton, but not inevitable
i think that's exactly right. at the juncture we're at now, there are probably a number of trajectories we could go on that would set the process-of-life back, and there are probably others which would encourage its unrolling expanse
may we be wise enough to nudge the future towards the latter

Yes! I show up even harder when I am having a hard time. I dress up better, arrive earlier, go into total survival-thrival mode. It's critical
one of the most important things you can teach yourself experientially:
you can be having a hard time without that changing what you do or how you show up
and without reneging on your commitments
