[2025/09/14, 7:01:49] James: So
[2025/09/14, 7:01:57] James: I don’t think I want to build a company
[2025/09/14, 7:02:04] James: I’ve done that before and didn’t enjoy it
[2025/09/14, 7:02:17] James: It’s like signing up for LinkedIn yesterday
[2025/09/14, 7:02:21] James: And then cancelling it
[2025/09/14, 7:02:33] James: I have done that and it was very bad for me
[2025/09/14, 7:02:39] James: All the years as a recruiter
[2025/09/14, 7:02:53] James: These are things I’ve learned that I do not like through experience
[2025/09/14, 7:03:08] James: I guess there is no actual need for me to get this to the world
[2025/09/14, 7:03:15] James: All I need to do is look after myself
[2025/09/14, 7:03:18] James: And my family
[2025/09/14, 7:03:24] James: And keep walking the path
[2025/09/14, 7:03:40] James: Taking on too many responsibilities would likely destabilise me
[2025/09/14, 7:03:44] James: At least right now
[2025/09/14, 7:03:58] James: So
[2025/09/14, 7:04:03] James: Let’s have a chat with Fred
[2025/09/14, 7:04:12] James: But not take action yet
[2025/09/14, 7:04:22] James: I don’t want to run another company
[2025/09/14, 7:04:36] James: I just want someone to do research into this as trauma therapy
[2025/09/14, 7:05:02] James: What’s that line
[2025/09/14, 7:05:53] James: If two strong men should drag him and hold him over hot coals then a bhikku would writhe and resist and try to break free
[2025/09/14, 7:06:02] James: The company and LinkedIn are hot coals for me
[2025/09/14, 7:56:00] James: .
[2025/09/14, 7:56:09] James: Likely to slip into a dissolution phase now
[2025/09/14, 7:56:11] James: That’s ok
[2025/09/14, 7:56:18] James: Might be a protracted one after the export
[2025/09/14, 7:56:24] James: This is what the books say happens though
[2025/09/14, 7:56:32] James: It’ll be part of the network consolidation
[2025/09/14, 7:56:39] James: The pruning of synapses
[2025/09/14, 7:56:42] James: And it’s welcome
[2025/09/14, 7:56:53] James: The new structure is there but the old one must die
[2025/09/14, 7:56:55] James: Let it happen
[2025/09/14, 7:56:57] James: Time to sit
[2025/09/14, 7:57:05] James: Enjoy the colder morning
[2025/09/14, 7:57:12] James: Autumn is incoming
[2025/09/14, 7:57:18] James: And summer is over
[2025/09/14, 7:57:25] James: Let’s enjoy cycling and camping with Luca
[2025/09/14, 7:57:35] James: Probably the last time we can do it think year
[2025/09/14, 7:57:38] James: He’s a great kid
[2025/09/14, 7:57:42] James: My convergence point.
[2025/09/14, 14:13:21] James: .
[2025/09/14, 14:13:38] James: Cycling with Luca in a park / petting zoo
[2025/09/14, 14:13:38] James: People living their lives having BBQs
[2025/09/14, 14:14:06] James: Kida feeding the goats
[2025/09/14, 14:14:20] James: Reminds me of taking our own kids to hoppi hills so many times
[2025/09/14, 14:14:28] James: And my mind was always half somewhere else
[2025/09/14, 14:14:47] James: I find myself feeling sad for all the life I missed
[2025/09/14, 14:14:54] James: And happy to be living it now
[2025/09/14, 14:15:22] James: But also melancholy
[2025/09/14, 14:15:26] James: That I was unable to live beforep
[2025/09/14, 14:15:33] James: That everything had to be for a purpose
[2025/09/14, 14:15:40] James: Some future optimisation
[2025/09/14, 14:22:20] James: .
[2025/09/14, 14:22:25] James: I think that’s the difference
[2025/09/14, 14:22:32] James: I can do things
[2025/09/14, 14:22:39] James: Without them being about something else
[2025/09/14, 14:37:52] James: .
[2025/09/14, 14:38:02] James: Mourning for the life unlived
[2025/09/14, 15:19:53] James: .
[2025/09/14, 15:20:06] James: It’s so nice to be able to just ride around a park and watch my youngest explore
[2025/09/14, 15:20:14] James: Not panicking about getting back for something
[2025/09/14, 15:20:19] James: For what I don’t know
[2025/09/14, 15:20:26] James: Just I could never be in the moment
[2025/09/14, 15:31:58] James: .
[2025/09/14, 15:32:12] James: I hope my children don’t need to have the life I had
[2025/09/14, 15:32:15] James: I’m sure they won’t
[2025/09/14, 15:32:35] James: I’ve broken then chain
[2025/09/14, 15:32:38] James: Left the country
[2025/09/14, 15:32:44] James: Then left the self
[2025/09/14, 21:03:50] James: .
[2025/09/14, 21:03:51] James: Wow
[2025/09/14, 21:03:56] James: That meditation was wild
[2025/09/14, 21:04:02] James: Naked on the balcony
[2025/09/14, 21:04:16] James: Cold. All days have been warm so far
[2025/09/14, 21:04:32] James: Anyway felt the swollen brain a bit. I think somethings gonna pop out soon
[2025/09/14, 21:04:40] James: Got into the groove
[2025/09/14, 21:04:50] James: Then came in and did yoga. Slow. Free.
[2025/09/14, 21:04:52] James: Shavasana
[2025/09/14, 21:05:01] James: And 20 more min meditation afterwar
[2025/09/14, 21:05:12] James: I’ve never been in such a clear-headed trance
[2025/09/14, 21:05:29] James: Mouth was open and eyes slightly open but seeing nothing and no tension
[2025/09/14, 21:05:36] James: I think it was some crazy equanimity
[2025/09/14, 21:05:44] James: Could have sat there forever
[2025/09/14, 21:05:56] James: But then it just ended
[2025/09/14, 21:06:09] James: I dunno. It was just enough
[2025/09/14, 21:06:23] James: Like. No decision. No debate. Just ‘ok’
[2025/09/14, 21:06:29] James: And now I shall sleep
[2025/09/14, 21:06:35] James: Lovely day with Luca today
[2025/09/14, 21:06:40] James: I love my family so much
[2025/09/14, 21:06:57] James: Goodnight, James-container
[2025/09/14, 21:07:01] James: You are empty
[2025/09/14, 21:07:06] James: And it is great
[2025/09/14, 21:07:15] James: Still a fair few neuroses to curate
[2025/09/14, 21:07:18] James: But the ball
[2025/09/14, 21:07:27] James: The filtered reality around itself curled…
[2025/09/14, 21:07:32] James: That is gone
[2025/09/14, 21:07:47] James: It’s just like a blob of water with dashes of ink
