Screens can never replace a life spent in your body
You must experience the world in all its physical beauty and share it with the children as well. Grass underfoot, breeze in your hair, the sound of rushing water in your ears and the cool feeling on your feet.

The World of Rhythm Called Rituals - Book by Jayant Burde
When someone mentions rituals we usually think of religious rituals such as prayer, puja, marriage ceremonies, sermons and so on. However, if we introspect a little, we realize that we spend most of our life in performing rituals of one type or another. Most of our activities from morning till night are ritualistic. This book explains how rituals are closely connected with verse, music and dance. It asserts that like music and dance rituals belong to the world of rhythm. By ritual we mean any stylized behaviour that recurs. Rituals abound in all walks of life: social intercourse, military affairs, law and politics, education and so forth. In most rituals rhythm is manifest and loud. In a few rituals which have a slow tempo, some analysis is necessary to detect rhythmic patterns. The author beautifully portrays the types of rituals and the rhythms they generate from the babbling of a child to a band parade or the chanting of a mantra. He explains the initiation and completion of patterns that form the rhythm.

Neural hydroponics as qualia engineering
- Thinking about our peripheral nervous system as a root system. our sensory experience as the nutrients.
- With hydroponics, we can fine tune the nutrient mix to grow better plants. need the equivalent for our sensory system and the mind.
- "Qualia is all that you perceive, engineering is how to transform that space". neural hydroponics as qualia engineering.
- "Are psychedelics the short-term neural hydroponics?" They’re one of them also, the media you consume, people you spend time with, places you frequent longer-term: meditation, environment, values, beliefs
- I like the idea of being intentional about the sensory experiences (qualia) that help you grow
also what frameworks and technologies could assist with this.
