TODAY'S TOP TEN CHAOS LIST............

The media and politicians are obsessed about the number of ventilators available.  Is this wise?

Obsession is the single most wasteful human activity, because with an obsession you keep coming back and back and back to the same question and never get an answer. An obsession is a way for damaged people to damage themselves more.

What about these ideas:  are they worth considering now?

1. What about the number of people who are skilled to manage ventilated patients?  it is not a basic medical skill?

2. Have you ever contemplated what the sheer quantity of analgesics, sedatives and paralytics needed to treat ventilated patients is in a pandemic?  The public has no clue what a loss of medical capacity looks like much less what it feels like to a person on the front line.  Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance. Ignorance is always afraid of adaptation, because thinking is heavy lifting for the unripe mind.  The data shows us that already our beliefs might be wrong.......about what is really afoot in the world tonight

3.  This year we are told the interventions we use to stabilize folks are not "safe" if have Covid 19. We won't know result for 24hrs due to testing constraints. So in this situation should we deny life saving treatment? In a true disaster-yes. But is this axiom still true in a flattened curve situation? 

4. Instead of black and white situation we're  dealing with 150 shades of grey.  No one has an answer because too few can think about the asymmetry of the situation clearly.   The surreal part of this pandemic, I think, comes when you're thrown into a situation that you've never been in before. It's extremely disorienting to those who expect normalcy.   Right now, many of the patterns we know and love have been obliterated. We can’t go to happy hour, we can’t get toilet paper when we want it, we can’t plan our annual vacation getaway.

5. Highest number of nurses = lowest death rate = Germany.  Note it is nurses and not doctors that are the key to your survival in some areas.

6. The study of the surreal has mostly concerned Dali's paintings and Kafka’s writings. But there are psychological reasons why every day during a pandemic seems so otherworldly.  What happens when all of a sudden the whole world follows the same narrative as the plot unfolds and nobody has a clue what the next scene is gonna be like, or what the end will be?

7. It's like there's no future, because we cannot plan for a future in abject chaos.  People are afraid of chaos.  Few see opportunity in its randomness.  The upending of our normal lives also obliterated the routines, however mundane, that keep the average person levelheaded.  Why do so many shoot for average in life? A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd and their beliefs at times.

8. The imaginary of nature capabilities is what tends to become real in life.  We must begin to realize the black swan event is normal and not an outlier.  Normalcy is so toxic it’s made a majority of people in the modern world “normally” unhealthy, “normally” neurotic, “normally” gullible...long before this crisis.  Normalcy never was, never will be your friend.   QUESTION IT.

9.  Nothing that surrounds us is objective, and all around us is subjective to the environment we have created in the zipcode we inhabit by choice.  We are deluded by routine.  Most believe their routine is the scaffolding of life, because it's how we organize information and our time. And without it, we can feel really lost.  People hate feeling lost.  The truth is stranger than our beliefs.  Just because someone stumbles and loses their path, doesn't mean they're lost.  They maybe acutely lost but they are not lost forever.  There's always time to change the road your on, even in total chaos.

10.  Reality is obtained by Nature by slightly bending physical and chemical laws using probabilities.  This is why quantum mechanics is Nature's language.

Rather than imagining life is a solo performance, Begin to create a tune that becomes part of a vast choral production the Universe has been singing since our primitive ancestors first looked towards the heavens. Realize our lives were part of a vocal symphony directed by a "cosmic composer" who is putting together a grand concert from musical threads supplied by every individual. Living optimally is a team game. Individuals may win the game at times, but teams win championships in life.  We're all in this chaos together.

What is the ultimate cure of all diseases? Increasing your redox power via sunlight. We all need some Purple rain (UV/IR-A) from the sun to come upon us. Never forget it my Black Swans.

Here is the truth about life…..your current situation is never permanent. It is what you make of it from your choices. Life is not solid it is fluid and it always changes.  

Night Swans..........
