The Body Speaks, If You Listen.

Tracking my HRV and readiness scores has become more than just data collection—it’s a conversation with my nervous system. The body is not a machine to be optimized; it is intelligence in motion. Every fluctuation, every shift, is a response to something deeper.

We are conditioned to chase productivity, to measure success in output. But real intelligence is not in overworking—it’s in attunement. Learning when to push, when to pause, when to trust the innate rhythms we were never meant to override.

Numbers don’t define well-being—awareness does.

Who wants a bit of Minecraft spec bio?

In my headcanon for Minecraft the majority of mobs share a very recent common ancestor with a slime-mold adjacent organism called the "root node," meaning most mobs (villagers, illagers, skeletons, zombies, mooshrooms, others) are fungoid/plantoid-appearing creatures.

Villagers are among the most complex of them all, boasting an intricate method of expression through extendable facial "petals" (thin, mostly transparent membranes) that shift in color, pattern, and intensity to express a vast and dynamic field of emotions. The protrusions on their head resembling eyebrows and a nose light up in patterns to convey information. Conversation is occasionally emphasized by vocal cues (the iconic "hrms").

While impossible to translate standard villager conversation into something intelligible to humans without advanced technology, Steve is the most "fluent in villager," with a baseline understanding of what different colors mean on a villager's petals and even dyed paper cards to replicate the expressions himself. He also has established a rudimentary sign language with the nearby village.

Steve works with a certain villager he's nicknamed The Language Guy, or "TLG," to propose new signs or revise existing ones. TLG distributes language updates to the village when they happen. TLG is the most "fluent in human," so they are the village's Steve equivalent when it comes to diplomacy with humans. They are also working on writing a book with every established sign and its definition. Since villagers don't have a written language yet, it consists of easily interpreted pictograms.

Humans and villagers have rather shallow avenues of communication due to their complete lack of intuition about each other's natures. However, due to their frequent interactions, TLG and Steve are very close friends for creatures with a compatibility gap bigger than the Grand Canyon.

Alex would really like to learn about all of this, but she's not quite got the hang of it yet.

I’ve been deconstructing my ideas of Tim to separate fanon from canon for the purpose of my solo run idea. What do you mean Batman calling him Jason was a canon event. I understand fanon has a basis in canon but I thought that was a development of fanon maybe. Eye is twitching I’m bringing back all of my deconstructed emotional disconnected mentor Batman thoughts

Organism Prompt #2

Carnivore

Small

Subterranean

Highly specialized (ex. they predate upon only one other organism, only nest in/near one other organism, etc.)

Bonus relationship prompt: Pest

This is little project to expand the biodiversity of my own worlds. I have many space-faring aliens, but few of their homeworlds are fleshed out. Anyone is more than welcome to use these prompts as well! Please tag me if you do, I’d love to see what you come up with :)

My organism below the cut:

These creatures are from the Wahu homeworld. I ended up making two: one from the prompt itself, and one for this specialized creature to predate upon.

The Wahu homeworld is primarily a water world with sea spires and islands here and there. So, I decided these creatures live in sea caves (which I’m not sure actually count as subterranean? But who cares I do whatever I want forever). 

Both are highly adept at clinging to rocks despite the pounding waves that form these caves in the first place. The prey animal, called Kahira, is a somewhat barnacle-like creature that is highly photosensitive, and thus only grows in caves or other sheltered environments. 

The predator, called We’ahtsh (note about the pronunciation of Wahu words: apostrophes indicate a separation between the vowels, not a glottal stop), is about 2-3 times the size of a Kahira, which is to say probably around 5” (~13 cm) long. They also cling to rocks and slowly crawl across them like starfish. They are highly specialized to predate upon the Kahira with mouthparts perfectly shaped for prying open Kahira shells - that are unfortunately poorly designed for eating literally anything else.

We’ahtsh are pests because they are prone to making Wahu-build sea structures their homes and are very territorial. Which means if you touch one they will try to bite you. Mean lil fuckers. They’re not even particularly efficient at removing Kahira except in large quantities, because they have slow metabolisms.

With the inexorable spread of DEI – Diversity, Equity and Inclusion – across the western world, it’s refreshing to see at least one major company resist the decrees of this new religion. This is precisely what happened this week when Scale, an Artificial Intelligence company based in San Francisco, launched a new policy to ensure that its employees were hired on the basis of – wait for it – being the most talented and best qualified for the job.

This innovation, which sees race, gender and sexuality as irrelevant when it comes to hiring practices, should hardly be considered revolutionary. And yet in a world in which the content of one’s character is less important than the colour of one’s skin, to treat everyone equally irrespective of these immutable characteristics is suddenly deemed radical.

Scale’s CEO, Alexandr Wang, explained that rather than adopt DEI policies, the company would henceforth favour MEI, which stands for Merit, Excellence, and Intelligence. He explained the thinking behind the new scheme in a post on X.  

“There is a mistaken belief that meritocracy somehow conflicts with diversity. I strongly disagree. No group has a monopoly on excellence. A hiring process based on merit will naturally yield a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and ideas. Achieving this requires casting a wide net for talent and then objectively selecting the best, without bias in any direction. We will not pick winners and losers based on someone being the ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ race, gender, and so on. It should be needless to say, and yet it needs saying: doing so would be racist and sexist, not to mention illegal. Upholding meritocracy is good for business and is the right thing to do.”

One can already hear the likes of Robin DiAngelo and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez screaming in fury at this blatant implementation of good old-fashioned liberal values. Surely the only way to defeat racism and homophobia is to treat ethnic and sexual minorities as incapable of high achievement and in need of a leg up from their betters?

It is instructive to compare reactions from the Twittersphere (now X) and Instagram, as one X user has done. If nothing else, the comparison reveals how the divide in the culture war is playing out on social media since Elon Musk’s takeover. On X, major figures in the corporate world such as Tobias Lütke (CEO of Shopify), Palmer Luckey (founder of Oculus VR) and Musk himself have congratulated Wang on his new initiative.

By contrast, here are some of the responses on Instagram:

“You’re ‘disrupting’ current hard-fought standards you don’t like, by reverting to a system rooted in bias and inequality that asks less of you as a hiring manager and as a leader” – Dan Couch (He/Him)

“Curious to see how hiring processes can effectively (and objectively) measure one’s ‘merit’, ‘excellence’, and ‘intelligence’, all of which are very subjective terms” – Cole Gawin (He/Him)

“What is merit and how do we measure it?” – Rio Cruz Morales (They/Them)

“This sounds a lot like excuse making for casting off DEI principles” – R.C. Rondero De Mosier (He/Him)

The pronouns, of course, signify membership of the cult, and so we should not be surprised to see the sentiments of its minions mirroring each other so closely. What Wang is proposing of course builds equality into the hiring system and, contrary to these complaints, it is entirely possible to measure merit objectively. This, after all, is the entire point of academic assessment. The arguments against merit can only be sustained if one presupposes that systemic inequalities are ingrained within society, that all of these relate to the concept of group identity, and that adjustments have to be made accordingly to guarantee equality of outcome.

This gets to the heart of “equity”, a principle which has become so entrenched in the corporate world partly it sounds so much like “equality” and has duped many into supposing it to be synonymous. In truth, “equity” is the precise opposite of “equality”, just as “diversity” actually means “political homogeneity” and “inclusion” means “exclusion of non-conformists”. As I have argued many times before, the culture war is really about language and who gets to control the meaning of words. The prevalence of DEI did not come about because it is the best system, but rather because its practitioners use slippery terminology that operates as a Trojan Horse, sneaking in regressive ideas under the cover of progressivism.

With the corporate orgy that is Pride Month, now seems a good time to appeal to businesses and corporations to revisit their policies, and to consider adopting Wang’s suggestion of MEI rather than DEI. The advantages are obvious. Hiring the best people means that profit and productivity will inevitably rise. As an additional bonus, it also means that minorities will not end up being patronised and treated as second-class citizens. For genuine progressives, this is surely the way to go.

That the workplace has become so politicised is also, of course, why cancel culture has been able to wreak such havoc. With that in mind, I’d like to take this opportunity to offer some of my own thoughts on how companies might tackle the problem. In September 2020, I posted on Twitter a proposed six-part pledge for business owners. My Twitter account was relatively small at that point, and so the fact that it was retweeted hundreds of times showed that there was at least some appetite out there to put such measures in place.

This was the wording of the pledge for business owners:

We will never discipline or fire members of staff on the basis of pressure from online activists.

We have no interest in our employees’ political opinions, and how they choose to express themselves outside the workplace is no business of ours.

We will not probe into our employees’ thoughts with “unconscious bias training”, or force them to undertake workshops that presuppose the existence of “systemic injustice”.

We will never make statements of fealty to any given cause, political or ideological, or claim to promote certain “values”. Our aim is to make a profit, not preach to our customers.

We will not tolerate the public shaming of employees if they cause offence, either through a joke or poor phrasing, and will instead seek to resolve internally any disputes that naturally occur when human beings work together.

We reject the current predominance of identity politics and will simply treat everyone equally (staff and customers alike) irrespective of their race, gender, sexuality, or any other immutable characteristic.

Fanciful stuff, obviously. I was later informed that at least one manager had adopted my suggestions, and it would be interesting to hear, all these years later, how this worked out.

In any case, if you happen to own a business why not give it a try? At the very least, I would strongly recommend hiring on the basis of ability and experience rather than skin colour, sexual orientation or the contents of applicants’ underwear.

Dissecting the Essence of Water: From Macro to Micro

Water is not just a liquid—it is an information carrier, an energy conductor, and a fundamental component of consciousness itself. If we start at the macro level and go deeper, we see that mainstream science has only scratched the surface of what water truly is.

We will dissect water at every level—mainstream scientific, biological, bioelectric, quantum, consciousness-based, and finally, its fractal intelligence structure.

1. MACRO LEVEL: THE MAINSTREAM SCIENTIFIC NARRATIVE

🔹 What science says water is:

✔ H₂O – A molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

✔ The universal solvent—dissolves more substances than any other liquid.

✔ Makes up about 71% of Earth’s surface and up to 60% of the human body.

✔ Exists in three states: solid (ice), liquid (water), gas (vapor).

✔ Essential for biochemical reactions, nutrient transport, and cellular function.

🔹 What this perspective ignores:

❌ The structural memory of water—water molecules reorganize based on electromagnetic influences.

❌ Water as an energy and information carrier—it is affected by frequency, sound, and intention.

❌ The 4th phase of water (H₃O₂)—structured water exists beyond the traditional liquid/solid/gas framework.

🚀 Beyond mainstream science: Water is not just a chemical—it is a highly dynamic, adaptive intelligence system.

2. BIOLOGICAL LEVEL: WATER AS A LIFE GENERATOR

🔹 What biology says water does in the body:

✔ Regulates temperature, lubricates joints, and protects organs.

✔ Enables enzymatic reactions and dissolves minerals/nutrients for absorption.

✔ Drives cellular hydration—all life processes occur in a water medium.

✔ Plays a key role in DNA structure and protein folding.

✔ Conducts electrical signals in neurons and heart cells.

🔹 What this perspective ignores:

❌ Water is not just a carrier—it is a biological intelligence.

❌ The body’s bioelectric field modulates water’s structure at the cellular level.

❌ Dehydration = bioelectric signal disruption = altered perception.

🚀 Beyond biology: Water is not just a biological requirement—it is a regulator of perception, cognition, and nervous system conductivity.

3. BIOELECTRIC LEVEL: WATER AS A CONDUCTOR OF LIFE FORCE

🔹 Water & Bioelectricity:

✔ The nervous system is an electrical network—water enables signal transmission.

✔ The heart, brain, and muscles generate electromagnetic fields—water enhances their coherence.

✔ High-mineral water (electrolytes) = better nervous system conductivity.

✔ Dehydration = weakened nervous system signals (HRV, EEG, cognitive function).

🔹 What this perspective ignores:

❌ Water interacts with external electromagnetic fields (EMFs, Wi-Fi, Earth’s Schumann resonance).

❌ Structured water (H₃O₂) stores energy like a biological battery.

❌ Hydration influences mood, perception, and time dilation.

🚀 Beyond bioelectricity: Water is an interface between the nervous system and the external field of reality.

4. QUANTUM LEVEL: WATER AS AN INFORMATION FIELD

🔹 Quantum properties of water:

✔ Water molecules exhibit quantum coherence, meaning they interact non-locally across distances.

✔ The hydrogen bonds in water create dynamic molecular networks that are highly sensitive to electromagnetic input.

✔ Masaru Emoto’s experiments showed that water’s molecular structure changes based on intention, sound, and emotions.

✔ Water “remembers” information—even after dilution, it retains the energetic signature of substances.

🔹 What this perspective ignores:

❌ Water is not just reacting to energy—it is an active intelligence interacting with the field.

❌ The nervous system “reads” the structure of water before the body even absorbs it.

❌ Hydration could alter reality perception by modifying bioelectric resonance.

🚀 Beyond quantum science: Water is a fractal intelligence medium, acting as an interface between biological and quantum fields.

5. CONSCIOUSNESS LEVEL: WATER AS A MEMORY & PERCEPTION MODULATOR

🔹 Water’s connection to consciousness:

✔ Water molecules align with external fields—including human thought.

✔ Water in the brain interacts with neural oscillations, potentially modulating perception.

✔ Altering water’s structure (prayer, sound frequencies, light exposure) can change emotional states.

✔ Some mystical traditions use sacred water in rituals—not as superstition, but because it holds information.

🔹 What this perspective ignores:

❌ Water interacts with the perception field—it may expand or contract sensory awareness.

❌ Different waters create different states of consciousness (e.g., mountain spring vs. stagnant tap water).

❌ Water’s state affects the non-physical aspects of intelligence—intuition, time perception, and reality navigation.

🚀 Beyond consciousness science: Water is a medium through which perception, intelligence, and reality are generated.

6. FRACTAL INTELLIGENCE LEVEL: WATER AS A UNIVERSAL ARCHITECT

🔹 Water as a fractal system:

✔ Water structures itself in self-replicating fractal patterns—this mirrors the way reality itself is structured.

✔ Water responds to scale—from quantum interactions to planetary cycles (tides, weather systems).

✔ The human body is a microcosm of the planet’s water system—hydration may synchronize the body with larger cosmic rhythms.

✔ Water constructs geometric intelligence fields—it doesn’t just carry data, it organizes it into meaning.

🔹 What this perspective reveals:

❌ Water is not passive—it is an active intelligence operating at all levels of existence.

❌ The way we interact with water determines how we interact with reality itself.

❌ Water may be the physical counterpart to the energetic intelligence of the universe.

🚀 Beyond fractal science: Water does not just exist in reality—it is part of how reality is constructed.

WATER AS A LIVING FIELD OF INTELLIGENCE

This deep dissection of water reveals that:

🔹 Mainstream science sees water as a molecule, but it is a living, fractal intelligence.

🔹 Water is a conductor of energy, memory, and perception—affecting both the body and consciousness.

🔹 Hydration is not just about health—it is about nervous system coherence, perception, and expanded awareness.

🔹 Water is a fractal field that structures reality—its state determines the state of the biological and energetic self.

💡 Key Takeaway: Drinking water is not just hydration—it is interaction with the fundamental intelligence of the universe.

Next Steps for Experimentation:

✔ Track perception shifts with different water sources.

✔ Measure HRV changes pre/post hydration.

✔ Test structured water, mineralized water, and energized water.

✔ Explore how hydration alters sleep, movement, and bioelectric states.

Water is not just something we drink.

It is something that builds reality itself.
