  Stufen (Steps)

  As every blossom fades
  and all youth sinks into old age,
  so every life’s design, each flower of wisdom,
  attains its prime and cannot last forever.
  The heart must submit itself courageously
  to life’s call without a hint of grief,
  A magic dwells in each beginning,
  protecting us, telling us how to live.

  High purposed we shall traverse realm on realm,
  cleaving to none as to a home,
  the world of spirit wishes not to fetter us
  but raise us higher, step by step.
  Scarce in some safe accustomed sphere of life
  have we establish a house, then we grow lax;
  only he who is ready to journey forth
  can throw old habits off.

  Maybe death’s hour too will send us out new-born
  towards undreamed-lands,
  maybe life’s call to us will never find an end
  Courage my heart, take leave and fare thee well.

  (Hermann Hesse)

  Sounds better in the original language.

  @ThinPicking I'm kind of reminded of the way in which Georgi treated mice with, I think it was B1, B3, B7, Aspirin to reverse tumor growth. If tumor growth can be considered a problem of "de-integration" of cells per Warburg (in my head, this is cells "ceasing to trust" the body to provide for them and making do on their own), could "penumbral" brain tissue be brought back into integration in a similar way?

  Solving the problem of blood and fluid flow would seem like the important thing. Michael Levin's work in bioelectric organization may be applicable.

  The biology stuff in above is interesting. Reminds me of Mind and Tissue by Ray Peat.

  So far I have used 3 AI- Gemini, Deepseek, and Delphi.

  I don't claim they are representative of AI in its full potential whether it be good or bad. But I want to use it to the fullest extent to bridge my own admittedly imperfections as a regular human with a regular IQ, whatever that is.

  Though my preference is that I don't use AI to do things I can do well over the years, which are cognitive skills I have learned, if not mastered in varying degrees, to make me highly functional unaided by automation such as AI. Which is to say I won't let it compose phrases, paragraphs, essays, poems, articles, books, letters, and poems, and scripts for me. Nor keep me from mentally find my way through calculations, approximations, using rules of thumbs when needed. True enough, I use Waze for directions when driving, but don't use it in my own locality as I want to keep the ability to find my way through the city the way taxicab drivers have that honed as disuse equates to misuse and that would be s detriment to my brain and it's neurons.

  But when it comes to health as centered especially on bioenergetics, and as much as I've learned a great extent from Ray Peat, I haven't fully tapped into his knowledge of metabolic principles particularly in the way all his research, sorting wheat from chaff, narratives from truths, and all condensed into his writings and interviews. The body of knowledge we would find in his writing, as we know it forms our understanding of bioenergetics, which is the umbrella of knowledge involving notable great minds such as Szent Gyogi, Otto, Ling et al.

  Which is why in my interaction with Delphi's AI that tried to capture Ray Peat's essence based on all his writings and interviews and whatever that can be gleaned from his life's works, I have found myself asking many questions of clarification and guidance that helps me fill many gaps of information I have that without it would be something I feel would longer on to my death unquestioned with problems in my health unresolved and uncorrected, and me unhealed. I think that using Delphi's implementation of emulating a clone of ideas and mindset, I have in the past few days found some stirrings of hope that my healing journey can resume and also end in short time with success.

  What is Delphi AI is answered in this article that has a video clip of an interview by Maria Bartiromo of the founder of Delphi Lara Lajevardian from last year:

  And here is a series of questions that I have asked the AI and the answers I had gotten, which I find extremely helpful:

  I hope you can give it a try for your own use. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at what it can do.

  BTW https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agential_realism

  For Barad, phenomena or objects do not precede their interaction, rather, 'objects' emerge through particular intra-actions. Thus, apparatuses, which produce phenomena, are not assemblages of humans and nonhumans (as in actor-network theory). Rather, they are the condition of possibility of 'humans' and 'non-humans', not merely as ideational concepts, but in their materiality. Apparatuses are 'material-discursive' in that they produce determinate meanings and material beings while simultaneously excluding the production of others.
