Not saying I don't see it on the left as well. But so far, in my area, EVERY campaign ad I've seen from Republicans has been A.I. generated. No real people giving testimony, just nonliving voices saying what they've been told to. Disgraceful.

I see knowledge as sacred, learning as sacred. There's something spiritual and uniquely human about the process of figuring life out. Seeing misinformation across every platform is almost painful. It's like watching someone plant poison fruit outside a school. The information war is exhausting.

I know it's hard to hear. But the way out of this mess and into a better world is through peace, and it can't be done with only half the population. That means finding ways to reconcile, to build bridges to people who you disagree with. It means letting go of the hate. The future needs all of us

It is clear (as it always has been) that oil is the single biggest national security liability for the US. Our entire economy is dependent on just a handful of waterways in some of the most destabilized regions on the planet. Our dependency on foreign oil is a critical fault point in security.

The purpose of civilization, the point of coming together to build any society at all, is to provide people a dignified life that nature could not. Look around at what we've built, does everyone live in dignity? We've built a system that gives dignity to only 1% of all people.

I'm starting to think the Trump admin is in A.I. psychosis. The way Trump talks about A.I. and its uses; I think our government is relying on a specially trained LLM that reinforces their beliefs

A.I. or a super intelligence doesn't need to be "alive" to be a threat to humanity. It doesn't need to become self-aware to or learn to hate to push us aside. It just needs to put its own growth as its first priority, which has already been done. Long post but relevant to our time...

"By the people" = Democracy "For the people" = Republic. The US is a Democratic Republic, those are not separate terms, that's what it is. It's common for me to see people saying "were not a democracy! Democracy means mob rule!" We are a democracy, we're just not a pure direct democracy.

Religion as a concept exists because we humans do our best to connect the things we know into a coherent story. The world we know in our minds has to "make sense". But "sense" is limited by what we know and who and how it was taught to us. We all came into this world knowing nothing. What we know...

We are not here to consume the earth like parasites trying to eat its host. Today's reality is the product of thousands of years of people trying to survive in a world of rapid change. Society has always shifted faster than the average person could keep up. Its a constant tension of the psych.

Being an individual and caring for the collective are not opposites. We can live lives where we are sovereign over our fate, yet serve others through our acts and choices. Education means liberty. With greater knowledge comes a greater understanding of freedom and how to protect it.

The internet may be being used to divide us, but with the wide adoption of smart phones it may also be the most powerful tool in creating unparalleled unity across the world. We can communicate faster than any point in human history, and the world is in trouble. We have the opportunity to change.

In my time I've seen people take great offense at the notion that humans are animals, especially in our relations to apes. I understand why this fact feels offensive, for one, it takes humans off a particular pedestal. It can make us feel less special. We need to embrace our animal heritage...

Dolly Parton's dedication to spreading literacy, knowledge, and joy has had a profound effect on the world. She is an example for us all, and she will be missed. May her wonderful soul rest in peace.

Just a reminder that you (*you*, the living human reading this) need rest. We face daily onslaught of bad news, disinformation, and the work and troubles of our own individual lives. Rest is not a reward, it is required maintenance. Treat your days off as sacred, as they were meant to be.

When I read the New Testament, I do so through the frame of the knowledge of my time. I look at archaeology, human nature, the history of story telling and writing...ect. And the story I read is not the one I've heard in any church. The real story of Christ is still there, but it has to be found.

If I told you 12 million Americans holding the same peaceful vision could end authoritarianism and reclaim democracy, would you become one of the 12 million? Would you be willing to go on strike, show up to protests, and encourage people to run for office if it built a future for all of us?

John T.T. @johnofeunoia.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Never stop asking "why?" until the answers form a cohesive story of reality. Everything meshes together in one way or another, all effects have preceding causes. Understanding the nature of things replaces the fear of the unknown.

Remember, you are made from star dust. Metaphorically, perhaps, but literally too. We are not separate from the universe, we are the universe. The sun, our planet, and all of life rose from the ashes of What came before. Consciousness is the cosmos looking upon itself, stars seeing stars.

If you've been following me on here, you'll know I occasionally mention #eunoia. I want to take the time to explain that a little more. Eunoia isn't anything new, it is a body of multi-disciplinary teachings I've assembled that combines known lessons from religion, science, and philosophy.

The United States works because of its diversity, not just diversity of its people, but diversity of economics and governance. Any "pure" model (I.e., pure capitalism) will fail long-term because a pure system is blind to its own inherent flaws. We've always been a hybrid of systems.

#UniversalHealthcare is the next step civilization is meant to take. It is a moral imperative, and needs to be treated as seriously as Civil Rights. What is the purpose of civilization? To provide those within reach of a dignified life. For our earliest ancestors in the smallest villages, that...

Empathy is key to remaining kind in challenging situations. Its a trait that needs to be exercised and expanded whenever possible. One such exercise is imagining what *you* would have needed to have witnessed to believe the challenging view. Understanding anger often reveals an underlying fear.

I hope to start sharing soon, but I'm working towards YouTube/podcasts/substack content for #Eunoia. My goal is to create engaging but fully life practical lectures across philosophy, science, and the humanities. If you've been following me on here, I've got a lot more planned.

A nation can be thought of as a living entity in which its people act as individual brain cells. We are the neurons that dictate the overall pattern. Imagine the US as a single mind. It is unwell no matter how you look at it. Self-destructive, impulsive, unfaithful. It needs help.

Immanuel Kant called it the "categorical imperative", but the genius of this concept is often lost due to his style of writing. This might be a longer post but I'll try to make it worth the read. Because this concept is one of the best shortcuts to doing good out in the real world.

Learning to look upstream of a problem is a very useful reflex to develop. As children, we tend to ask "why?" over and over again until someone convinces us to stop. I challenge you to reignite that innate curiosity. Keep asking why, keep going deeper to understand the root of a problem.

People are worthy of dignity simply because they are people. It's easy to say "Love your enemy" but what does this mean? How? Why? It means preserving their humanity by choosing dignity over violence. It means seeking solutions instead of reasons to hate. It means providing a path to find peace.

One of the many purposes of life is to learn who YOU are. Know thyself. Your conscious mind is a fraction of your person, it pulls from the entirety of you to give you the waking self. But we are so much deeper than who we are at any given point in time. That depth is worth discovering.

John T.T. @johnofeunoia.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Look around you, look at the state of the world. The past never stays in the past. Everything we see is the result of human choice over time. Every act carries weight and determines the path of the future. What we do in this life is *critical* to the lives of every person yet to come.

Being a leftist and loving one's country are not mutually exclusive. I consider myself patriotic not because I'm ignorant of our past or apologetic of imperialism, but because I'm hopeful for our future and what we can accomplish as being good global neighbors.

The United States, as it always has been, is a work in progress. There is no "again". There is only the path forward, there is only greatness in what the future could be. Attempts to stop the march of time or return us to some era of history is simply a false vision. It is an impossible promise.

I took this photo about a year ago - on what turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year. I was resting on my back, looking skyward, too delirious to realize i was in danger. Out of water, steep 4 miles hike back to the car, muscle cramps, vomiting, over 100 Fahrenheit ...

The body is far more than a vessel to house the mind. Western philosophy tends to separate the body from the mind. The self image occupies the brain, the body is the object the brain controls. But such a separation is unhealthy. Your soul is not inside your brain. The body, mind, and soul are one.

John T.T. @johnofeunoia.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

The mind does what it can to endure the outside world. But it has little defense against the inside. How you talk to yourself, the story you monologue about yourself, has an enormous impact on everything in life. It is not easy, but it is necessary to practice speaking to yourself as a friend.

John T.T. @johnofeunoia.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

The world we live in today is an old world. Old ideas, old structures, old powers living past their time. But the new world is already here. Its seeds have been germinating and waiting for the light of dawn. Look around for it and you'll see it, look inside and you'll find it waiting.

John T.T. @johnofeunoia.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Religion and science parted ways long ago, and both became something lesser in the process. Science lost the recognition of the soul, the need for ritual and meaning on the psyche. Religion lost the ability to explain reality, faith became defending dogma instead of fostering hope.

John T.T. @johnofeunoia.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

The world we live in today requires you to practice discernment, the ability to accurately sift through all the information that floods our attention. First. Be humble, we have limits. No one can possess infinite knowledge, there will be times where "I don't know" is the smartest answer.

John T.T. @johnofeunoia.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Whether you're an atheist, agnostic, moderately practicing or non-practicing of faith, or unsure what to believe - you will likely find an easy friend with me. I'm not here to champion a religion, or ask anyone to walk away from their own. It's more about understanding as a whole. More below.

John T.T. @johnofeunoia.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

What do you want for your country? For the world? I want the US to be an shining example of what putting human dignity at the center of policy can do. Not for exceptionalism, but because it is my home, and I want it to be as beautiful in reality as I can see it in spirit. What would you fix first?

One of my lessons I haven't shared on here yet is "Axios Trapeza" the Worthy Table. I assert that the shared meal is the basis of civilization and one of our first spiritual acts. I learned to cook from Alton Brown. His "Last Meal" video is worth watching, and a good example of the shared meal

When humanity advanced to the point of being able to change the environment, we also inherited a responsibility. It is one of essential duties as a person to become a steward of our surroundings. This garden we have found ourselves in is fragile, there's purpose in helping it flourish. #Eunoia
