I am reading Richard Dawkins’ The Selfish Gene. The genes that use humans as vehicles, and are only interested in procreation, and not in the life experience of the vehicle.
But, as I have said before, there are 160 intangible capacities, mostly dormant, in the human DNA. The ones that we are going to look at in this article are the capacities (genes) of generosity (altruism) and trust.
Trust and generosity seem to be at odds with the selfishness of the genes… but they don’t have to be.
We all want to be loved. It’s hardwired, because being loved is the surest way to be fed, as a child, get sex as an adult, be promoted or helped as an adult.
Its purpose is survival.
The organism wants to survive, desperately.
We don’t know what that love is, but we want it. And some of us want to earn it.
I just followed a link that introduced me to Chris Farley, a fat comedian, who died… because he could not live without that love. ((Chris Farley is the fat guy

For those of you who have been making ever tightening circle around the secret, you may call it the truth, this is first a big let-down. A disappointment.
But when you look again, it gives you your life back, your ship is again under your command… you can become a finder instead of a seeker of the secret.
“The secret of growth” you’ve known but wished to be different is this: find something th
People who have meaningful work, want to work more… they work willingly, study willingly, grow willingly. ((Meaningful work means you see the results of your work readily.))
What could you do to steal meaning into your life? So you can have a meaningful life?
The new year is coming. It is customary to make inventory, and to set direction for the new year around this time of the year… even though you are busy planning for Christmas.
Christmas is the right time… With your Observer, with your Witness, watch your level of abundance, your level of grace and ease, your level of love wit
There is a huge misunderstanding that most of you are the victim of: thinking that you need to be ready to do something, that you need to get rid of fear or discomfort to do something.
One of my clients is dealing with an issue. To solve the issue, I asked him to talk to people in the same kind of business as his, to pick their brains what to do in the winters when there is no snow… i.e. there is no business, no revenue… and he still has to pay his employees.
He is afraid. I get that. But he is not doing wha
Some 10 years ago I did a year long course, called Partnership Explorations. It was intense, incomprehensible, and difficult.
Yet, it had an aspect that caused me to have an insight that was directly responsible for the breakthrough that you live with me, now.
The course was some talk, and a lot of collages.
A collage is an artwork… normally. But in the Partnership Explorations course it was a tool to get a new insight about life, about ourselves.
In one collage I wanted to show that I was locked out. I was locked out of the kind of life I saw people enjoy: parties, kissing, love.

Real is sciences, reasoning, math, physics, geometry, chemistry heavy. Humanities… lots of words, I think. I chose “real” for myself. I was bad at everything that talks ABOUT stuff, and great, sometimes exceptional in the non-verbal subjects. Architects don’t talk either. Don’t listen either. So, in that regard it was a good match, and yet, I wasn’t happy. I guess I wanted to think with words too. In every project I was chosen to w OK, here is the article: There are no Aliens. But there are alien-like bugs. When you search on google for alien bugs, you see bugs like you are used to, legs, eyes, pincers, and then something added… The imagination of graphic artists, movie makers, com Asking what those capacities are, those seven is a little dumb, but just think about it. What does everyone who went to school has to have as capacity? Reading, using language, i.e. writing ans speaking, adding numbers, recognizing faces, smells, sounds, telling the time, basic stuff. You may be able to cook. But they are not capacities: they use capacities, but they are behaviors… Parents The conversation was an utter and total failure. Capacities, abilities, is a whole new concept, and he wasn’t even getting a glimpse of what I was talking about. Very interesting. It seems that the mistaken belief is that you can learn anything… including being an investor like Warren Buffet… that is a total illusion: you cannot learn anything that you don’t have the capacities for. Most types of learning, like classes, coaching, etc. don’t take you to a place where the capacity missing would turn on, because you are ready for i Locked in? locked out? limited?
In Hungary, in some high schools, you can choose, at age 15-ish to pursue “real” or “humanities”. There are no aliens. But there are alien-like bugs
This article will make you angry, or scared… And neither being angry, nor being scared is a good sign… they show that you have only a few human capacities active… and I probably can’t help you. Your best choice is to leave… Unsubscribe if you are a subscriber.There are no aliens.
What if you only have seven capacities? Or eight… or even nine?
The less capacities you have the closer you are to the bottom.
You may be able to clean.
You may be able drive… Could you learn to be an investor like Warren Buffet? If you had the time, the teachers, the money?
I shared a few bits here and there today with my chiropractor… He has 13 capacities used.
