Alright so I slept on it and I’m more fired up than ever. I think I’m going to build a company which matches generic meds to brain chemistries.
Yesterday I printed out the dhammapada and I plan to spend the next 423 days making knives and meditating on the words of the buddha, and my life. Not just the words; mostly my life and how they relate. It has become very clear that you can sub ‘brain chemistry’ for ‘mind’ in the buddha’s teachings.
Anyway I was the first person to recruit for AI in Japan and helped build many successful companies. I know the best technologists in Japan; as in I know them and they know me and we have probably dealt with each other. They respect me. Unlike those podcast guys ha! But they’re good guys; they just saw someone go loopy because of meds and must have seen it thousands of times before.
Al - if you read this - your one email just ‘click’ and snapped me out of it. It’s what I needed. Because the problem with mania is it builds unless someone disproves it, and the problem with mine is that I was probably right. Then… I’m contacting founders yesterday like ‘is this mania’ and no - it’s not - I have always worked like this.
Anyway.
This is what I want to do. But I only want to spend 1 day a week on it. So I will find deputies. I will be the ethicist. I will not plan; already gone into why. Follow the gut.
Just think of the positive impact you could have if you matched generic meds to brain chemistries. The amount of suicides prevented and wives saves. The number of car crashes and murders and fights prevented. The general improvement in quality of life. Hell… even the prevention of war. This all ties into brain chemistry.
Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought.
If I can alter the mind, I can alter all. This is so self-evident. Every external pursuit is to change the mind. There is nothing else. Mind is all.
And this website - well this is my mind. Welcome! You can have a look around but keep your opinion to yourself (unless I know you in which case… selectively keep it to yourself?)
