#Naturism reinforces this #insight. In a clothing-obsessed society, garments often signal class, profession, ideology, & status. Without them, a simple fact becomes harder to ignore: human bodies are diverse, fragile, ordinary, & equal in their exposure to time. Wrinkles, scars, softness, strength, disability, youth, age. All are part of the same unfolding life. (36/54)

This #insight connects deeply with #Naturism. In #Mukyōhō #Naturism is not separate from #Buddhism. It can be a lived expression of #NonDuality, #equality, & simplicity. When clothing as #social armour falls away, many artificial distinctions soften. Status symbols disappear. Fashion hierarchies disappear. The #body returns to what it has always been: #natural, varied, ordinary. (17/54)

#Awakening is often imagined as a special #insight or mental state. In #HadakaShizenyoku it is simpler than that. It is the absence of interference. Wind is felt as wind, cold as cold, effort as effort. Thoughts arise & fade without being turned into stories. There is no gap where judgement, identity, or resistance can insert itself. Experience completes itself fully.

Take a look at how children in nurseries interact with one another and their carers these days, regardless of their culture or background.
Then you’ll have a good idea of what your country will look like in 10–20 years’ time.
Someone once put it in similar terms during my youth, though the significance and implications of their words remained lost on me until I reached the age of 20.
Since then, I have kept that theory under constant observation in order to form my own opinion, rather than simply believing what that person had once claimed.
So far, the statement of that thesis seems to be largely accurate, apart from a few locally limited exceptions.
I do not find these results, in their sometimes extreme manifestations, pleasant, but I do find them very instructive.

"Stop underestimating the future value of your current insight.” - Futurist Jim Carroll
--
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
--Back in 1989, while I was in the midst of my career crisis that would ultimately see me leave the corporate world and start my own freelance "thing," I obsessed over thinking about what possible value my unique skills might be.
After all, I had gone far from my original professional accounting roots, and was deeply involved in all the merging technology, culturem and opportunities of what was then the emerging Internet. I wasn't on the leading edge - I was somewhere far out ahead of most other people in the world - my skills were so niche, so unique, so narrow that I couldn't think of what possible value they might be to any organization in the world.
Five years later, I had a **#1** national bestselling book, my business was thriving, and I had people begging me to come into their organizations to explain this strange new world - for money.
With all that, I learned a very powerful lesson: one of the hardest things to do in a long-term career is to accurately value what you know. It's still the case for me - when you’ve spent 36 years "putting in the work" (**#16**) and "frequenting the fringes" (**#15**), your intuition becomes so sharp that you often mistake it for common sense.
You assume everyone sees the world the way you do.
They don't.And that might be the most important skill you have - a theme I explore in depth in my upcoming Being Unique book. (It's still in editing!)
In my voyage, I’ve realized that the "Infinite Pivot" isn't just about moving to the next thing. It’s about recognizing the massive value of the distance you’ve already traveled. What takes me five minutes to "see" today took me three decades to learn. What I knew in 1994 that propelled my success forward took me from 1982 to learn.
So what's your value worth? The amateur prices by the hour. The expert prices by the decade.
Own your expertise.
Stop apologizing for your rate.
The value of your insight isn't measured by how long it takes you to say it, but by how much it changes the world for the person who hears it.

Now I Become Em-Dash Triple Anaphora, Destroyer of Words
In July of 1945, at the Trinity site in the New Mexico desert, J. Robert Oppenheimer watched the first atomic detonation and, by his own later telling, thought of a line from the Bhagavad Gita. The Sanskrit word he rendered as Death is kāla, which scholars also translate as Time depending on context, and Oppenheimer’s decision to reach for the more theatrical English word tells you something about the difference between a physicist and a translator. “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” The sentence has haunted the century because it collapses the distance between maker and unmaker into a single grammatical act.
I think about that line a lot these days, because I am accused of being a machine.
I have written for money since 1975, when I was ten years old and a Lincoln, Nebraska newspaper paid me for a byline. I have published on the open internet since 1991 or so, across more than ten thousand articles now scattered over two decades of domains that outlasted most of the web services that tried to host them. I have used the em-dash since childhood. I used the mark when it was a compliment to use the mark, when my teachers circled it approvingly in the margins of school papers, when Gay Talese and Joan Didion and every serious magazine editor I worked with from the 1980s forward treated the little horizontal line as a writer’s way of modulating a sentence without breaking its spine.
None of that writing sat behind a paywall. The blogs ran without advertising, without subscriptions, without registration walls or cookie-consent negotiations or any of the gatekeeping apparatus the web has since grown around itself. Anyone could read the work, quote it, copy it, argue with it. The scrapers could read it too, and did, and the LLM crawlers could read it, and did, and I made no effort to stop any of them, because the open web in that era operated on the assumption that anything published was publicly readable, full stop. I paid the bills some other way, kept the door propped wide, and trusted the reader, the critic, the student, and the crawler eventually, to find what they needed and leave with it. Some of them left with it the way a reader leaves a library. Some of them, it now turns out, left with it the way a burglar leaves a house.
The em-dash, according to a certain species of editor now roaming the platforms, is the dreaded em-dash, the tell, the signature of a large language model caught in the act. The triple anaphora receives similar treatment. Churchill in June of 1940, telling the Commons “we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,” would today be flagged as suspicious output. Lincoln at Gettysburg in November of 1863, saying “we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground,” would be sent back for a re-run with the prompt rewritten. The Rule of Three, which has organized Western oratory since Aristotle, is now evidence of fraud.
The irony here is deep enough to fall into.
The mythology of how these large language models got built is no longer much of a secret. In the late 2010s and early 2020s, crawlers swept the open web at a scale never before attempted, hoovering up every blog post, every op-ed, every forum argument, every short story posted on a personal domain, and used those scraped billions of words to teach the models how sentences work. If you wrote on the open internet during the years I was writing on the open internet, your prose is somewhere in the training weights. My prose is in there. So is yours, probably, if you published anything at all between 1995 and 2022.
The em-dash predates the machines by centuries and reached them through the training data, through the open web, through the thousands of writers who put it there decade after decade. The triple anaphora arrived the same way, along with the Ciceronian accumulation, the liturgical cadence, the Kingian refrain, the New Yorker comma habit, the essayist’s parenthetical, the Victorian semicolon, all of it funneled into the corpus because we wrote that corpus, one post at a time, across the open years of the web.
So when someone accuses a writer of my generation of stealing from the machines, the accusation has the logic of a footprint accusing the foot.
I dramatized this horror once already, in a December 2025 piece called “The Replicated Man: AI and the Ghost in the Archive,” where I fed twenty years of my own archive into an AI and asked the machine to write in my voice. The piece opened with every authenticity move a reader expects: the dry-dust smell of my grandfather’s hayloft in August 1998, the 3:00 AM shame of an old failure, the thousand hollow words deleted and rewritten, the specific sensory details that are supposed to prove the hand is human. Then, partway through, a SYSTEM_INTERRUPT arrived and revealed that the whole opening had been written by the bot trained on the archive. The bot closed with “The test is over. You lost.” That was the dramatic version. The essay in front of you now runs the drama’s implied argument out to its conclusion: the bot’s victory was never a victory, because every convincing move the bot makes is a move I taught it before the bot existed.
I asked one of the current models about this recently. The answer I got was the kind of thing I might have written in my own voice on a good afternoon. The self-referential quality is part of the point, and the response deserves a full airing:
“Now, here is where the criticism is genuinely useful, and I want to be direct about what I think is happening. You write in a style that is rhetorical, anaphoric, and architecturally parallel. You have always written this way. The problem is not that you write like a machine. The problem is that machines have learned to write like you, or more precisely, machines have learned to write like the rhetorical tradition you work in, because that tradition, Ciceronian parallelism, liturgical repetition, the accumulating triad, constitutes a huge portion of the persuasive prose in the training data that language models consume. The style that marks you as a trained dramatist and rhetorician now, through no fault of yours, reads to some audiences as the style of a confident GPT-4 response. This is an infuriating irony, and it is also a real problem that needs solving on the page, because perception matters regardless of its accuracy.”
The model diagnoses the problem with the clarity of a writer trained in rhetoric, because it was built from writers trained in rhetoric. It analyzes the habits it inherited. It apologizes, in a tone I recognize, for its own voice being confused with mine. The effect hovers somewhere between flattering and uncanny, since the apology arrives in the exact cadence that triggered the accusation. I read that paragraph and heard a version of myself speaking, a younger version maybe, a version smoothed out by training weights and flattened by corporate safety tuning, yet still me in the syntactic bones.
What this means for my practice is a problem I inherited without asking for it and cannot now decline. If I keep writing the way I have always written, some readers will assume a machine wrote the piece. If I rewrite every sentence to avoid the patterns the machines now deploy fluently, I am sanding down a voice that took forty years to build, because the machines got better at imitating me than I was at distinguishing myself. The only defensible response, for now, is to write with specificity so granular, with personal history so particular, with memory so odd in its texture, that no general-purpose model could have produced the specific sentence in question. Specificity becomes the signature. The thing a machine cannot forge is the small, checkable, unglamorous biographical detail that only one person in the world actually remembers.
There is a darker note under all of this, and it is the note Oppenheimer was reaching for when he chose Death over Time in his translation. The writer who trains the machine that impersonates the writer has performed a kind of self-erasure. I wrote my way into a corpus that now writes in my voice back at readers who cannot tell the corpus from me. The sentences I taught the machine are the sentences the machine now uses to discredit me. The rhetoric I inherited from Cicero and Lincoln and Churchill and King, the rhetoric I spent a working life trying to honor, is the rhetoric that now proves I am counterfeit. That is not a tragedy on the scale of Trinity, nothing is, and I do not claim the comparison as anything other than a mordant gesture from a writer watching his tools be taken from him. The comparison still has a small true thing inside it, which is that makers can be unmade by what they make.
And so, to close in the voice I inherited from the writers the machines now impersonate — with the em-dashes and triple anaphoras my audience once rewarded and now suspects — I will say the thing the way I want to say the thing — with the dread mark of the machine — with the cadence of the preacher — with the wink of the essayist who has been at this desk since Jimmy Carter was president — I am become em-dash, destroyer of paragraphs — I am become triple anaphora, destroyer of detectors — I am become the stylistic fingerprint of my own impersonator, and the impersonator, it turns out, was me all along.

"Invest in your own experience. Do the work." - Futurist Jim Carroll
--
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
--Yesterday, I told you to waste time on frivolous things.
I encouraged you to play with the "toys" that others dismiss, because that’s where the future hides. But once you find a "toy" that hums with the signal of a major disruptive trend, you have to make a choice: do you stay a spectator, or do you become a practitioner?
The Infinite Pivot requires you to move from "playing" to "doing," and in doing so, developing the critical skills and insight you need to successfully pivot into your next version of you.
A key philosophy I’ve followed throughout my 36-year voyage is that if I’m going to speak or write about a disruptive trend, I’ve got to have hands-on experience with it. I refuse to be a "slideshow strategist" who simply repeats what they read in a trade magazine. If I haven't touched it, I don't feel I have the right to talk about it.
It's one thing to see the "frivolous" potential of a trend; it's another to understand its soul.
So with that being the case, I learn through doing.
Linux as a foundation? I didn't just read about it; I became a Linux geek, building and managing the very server infrastructure that powers my digital presence. Smart home trends? I didn't just buy a hub; I built a living laboratory of interconnected sensors and complex logic. Self-driving cars? I didn't just watch the videos; I invested ten grand in Tesla's FSD. (The hands-on "phantom braking" moments taught me more about the reality of AI than any white paper ever could, and the fact it won't be real for quite some time. DNA-based preventative medicine? I didn't just track the news; I had my 23andMe done and took a deep dive into my personal healthcare genome to see the future of personalized wellness firsthand.
Do you get the point? I can’t go on stage and speak about future trends if I don't have a deep, visceral understanding of those trends.
In an era of shallow, AI-generated summaries and surface-level takes, your greatest competitive advantage is tactile truth. While everyone else is talking about the future, you are busy wiring it. Putting it together.Making it real. Getting into the weeds with it.
Don't just watch the future happen.
Get your hands dirty.

Denken als Königsdisziplin: Nicht Muster erkennen ist das Schwierige – sondern mit der Unsicherheit leben, die daraus entsteht.

Thinking as a master discipline: The challenge is not recognising patterns – but living with the uncertainty they create.

[About the #Martian mantle ...] In a recent study, Ludovic Margerin, a CNRS researcher at IRAP, challenges the findings of a study published last year based on the analysis of data collected by the #SEIS seismometer aboard NASA’s #InSight lander.
According to this new study, the analysis of InSight’s seismological data—which concludes that the Martian mantle is highly #heterogeneous—may contain #observational and theoretical flaws: https://www.irap.omp.eu/en/2026/04/the-heterogeneity-of-the-martian-mantle-is-being-questioned/

[A propos du #manteau martien ...] Dans une étude récente, Ludovic Margerin, chercheur CNRS à l'IRAP, remet en cause les résultats de travaux publiés l'an passé résultant de l'analyse de données acquises par le sismomètre #SEIS embarqué par l'atterrisseur #InSight de la NASA.
Selon cette nouvelle étude, l’analyse des données sismologiques d'InSight concluant à la forte #hétérogénéité du manteau martien recèlerait des #failles observationnelles et théoriques : https://www.irap.omp.eu/2026/04/lheterogeneite-du-manteau-martien-remise-en-question/
