• Woke up early today, as Luciana had an early class. I enjoy the peace and quiet in the early (for me anyway) morning -- at least once in a while.
• I'd love to have a way to pull in the [[agora]] context from within [[foam]]. I wonder how hard it would be to start an [[agora]] extension that pulls a web view with the right Agora page for each note. Probably not very hard, but it feels a bit under-stimulating how the same work would need to be done for every client -- or at least also for [[obsidian]] and [[logseq]].

(eight hours pass)

• Just got out of work -- it was a sleepy day, not super productive but getting at least some things done.

Me gusta la estática [[I like static]].

• [[machine learning]]

• When someone misses an [[attack]] that has [[power]], it puts them off [[balance]]. How may you let someone miss?
• [[Muay]] [[kru]] Kem says you only need to go about 70% effort on strikes. 100% is enough power to generate a lot of [[tension]], and that tension will disrupt your [[balance]]. He suggests [[meditation]] after every training session to learn to improve your ability to [[predict]] your opponent. [[Sylvie Von Douglas-Ittu]] says you rush when you can't predict what is happening, which creates tension.
• [[Balance]] is a [[transport]] network for [[speed]] and [[power]].
• Use the [[strikes]] that you've landed as your [[feint]].
• Throwing [[strikes]] immediately left then right forces [[balance]]. You cannot do this if you're off balance.
• Keeping [[balance]] after you are attacked changes the [[narrative]] of how people perceive that [[attack]].
• To [[command]] is to bring inside. To be an [[empire]] is to bring [[inside]] and put in a [[line]].
• It should be possible to build [[robust]] models of [[culture]] from [[plant]] [[growth]] [[models]].
• Being [[demanding]] makes sense if you think the [[group]] is [[dying]]. If you believe in the group, you will attempt to [[give]] as much to the group as possible.
• The [[inverse]] [[problem]] of [[motor]] [[control]].
• To be in [[pain]] is to [[pay]], to be [[punish]]ed with a [[fine]] or a [[penalty]].
• When you [[create]] an [[object]] by [[naming]] it, drop it.
• To [[soothe]] is to [[prove]], to [[certify]] and [[witness]] that someone is.
• [[Pain]] is an avenging [[punishment]], the price of living.
