Been learning more about myself and have decided to accept what I found. I was here to share wholesome ideas and and to network with others doing similarly. But... It turns out I'm not very interested in community or conversation. I thrive in quiet spaces, in stillness, and alone time. I prefer to work backstage, away from the crowd, where I can sit quietly, for as long as I need to. I'm gonna let myself do that, more often now. May all beings be happy and free of suffering.🙏

Civilization As The Gradual Refusal Of Violence Civilization is often described as humanity's triumph over violence, yet much of what modern life depends upon still requires harm, often hidden, procedural, or framed as unavoidable. This book frames civilization not as a finished state but as a direction of travel, a slow and uneven movement away from killing, coercion, and domination as default tools for solving problems. https://zacharyperlman.com/civilization-refusal-of-violence #histo...

Letting it all go, may I be blessed with the end of self-grasping. May I now release all forms of greed, hatred, and delusion. Completely liberated from the bounds of real and unreal. Going beyond all concepts of attainment and non-attainment. I bow to: The Great Perfection. The Great Completion. The Supreme Mandala. #dzogchen #mahamudra #buddhism

The 12 Vows of a Jain Householder are a blueprint for laypeople to lead a spiritually disciplined, ethical, and compassionate life without completely renouncing the world. These vows are divided into three distinct categories that gradually transition a householder from basic moral living to advanced spiritual discipline. https://jainworld.com/library/jain-books/books-on-line/jainworld-books-in-indian-languages/the-jaina-path-of-ahimsa/the-twelve-vratas-or-vows/

My response to substack and others debating the issue of #AI assisted #writing: You say figuring out what's actually worth reading is hard now that AI is in the mix. I say it was always hard. People disagreed about what makes something worth reading long before AI existed. It depends on who's reading, what they know, what they need, etc. Not on who typed it.

BRAGGING: I can't figure out why so many people need Obsidian. Seems like I get to skip the entire productivity software industry just by descriptively naming my files. Takes 10 seconds. Saves hours of cleanup and confusion years down the road. I guess Obsidian exists for the people who don't do that? Example: Projectname-Homepage-HeroSection-July-4-2026-v3.0 Or is it the other features you love? #productivity #research #notes

What remains when the masks fall is not a deeper, truer person. It is awareness with no one inside it, empty and awake at once. This is not a loss. It is the most spacious relief available to a human being. The thing you spent your life protecting was never there, and the awareness that was looking out the whole time was never in danger.

I dream the world as I am. A projection from inside. This division isn't real. Just an ego telling lies.

Most people can't answer a simple question: who holds my data, what are they allowed to do with it, and how do I reduce that? The information is scattered across dozens of accounts and buried in privacy policies almost no one reads. This free open source tool turns that fog into a ranked list of concrete actions and alternatives. PERSONAL PRIVACY SCORE https://privacyscore.me #privacy #opensource #freesoftware

The most dangerous AI at your firm might be the one you drove to work. Modern vehicles collect voice, location, call audio, and contact data through connected infotainment systems. None of those data terms were written with attorney-client privilege in mind. https://zacharyperlman.com/car-ai-confidentiality #LegalTech #AIGovernance #LawFirms #AttorneyClientPrivilege #Privacy #AI #ProfessionalResponsibility #ABAOpinion512
