Jumpstart - Humans Vs Machines

According to the old song, the steam engine “drove poor ole John Henry down.”

According to the movies, Skynet sent back a terminator to stop the rebellion from preventing human annihilation.

WOW.  We’ve got some real (and if you heard yesterday’s JumpStart LEGITIMATE) fears around what A.I. might do to us when they get the upper hand.

Humans have one thing A.I. doesn’t -- self doubt

• Learn how to become more like a computer when solving problems
• Learn to use every tool at your disposal
• Learn how to fear machines less and embrace them as symbiotic travelers into our future

The future doesn’t have to be cataclysmic, we can learn from the very machines we’re building and teaching >>>

Jumpstart - Why People are Becoming Angrier and Less Considerate

I recently heard a podcast about how Youtube’s algorithm works and it made perfect sense although it also made my blood run cold.

YouTube is a computer with one goal: get your eyeballs and keep them for as long as possible (so our advertisers can rent your attention as you watch)

• Learn how YouTube’s making Alphabet (it’s parent company) rich by making you mad
• Learn how you can and MUST break the spell of these algorithms
• See how it all comes down to “enrage and engage” and how you can stop drifting as a result

If artificial intelligence is dividing us and making us less civil now, it’s time to take a stand before it’s too late > > >

Jumpstart - The Laundry List

A good friend of mine who knows the abuse I experienced as a child sent me a list of 14 things common to a person raised in a dysfunctional home.

As hard as it is to look at this laundry list (as they call it) healing our lives depends on knowing just how sick we are.

Today learn

• If you show the common signs of being raised in a dysfunctional home
• Why admitting this is so hard
• How to forgive yourself -- yes, yourself and others

And don’t worry because seriously, who’s raised in a “functional’ family anyway, right? >>>

Jumpstart - Guns

Last night, 10 people were murdered in Boulder and we're all feeling the pain of this loss.

When I was teen, my parents sent me very mixed messages with regards to safety by having me take 2 years worth of driver's training before I received a car but then they handed me a .357 magnum and boxes of ammo with no training whatsoever.

* Maybe there's a connection?

* Maybe we need more training?

* Maybe a longer waiting period?

In this rather somber JumpStart, we come together to collectively grieve and to consider options for creating a future without gun violence.

Jumpstart - How to Become an Abuse Victor Part 3 [Understand It]

One of the hardest lines for me to read in Beverly Engels book “the emotionally abusive relationship” is that, if you were abused as child, unless you do deep psychological work into the work with someone who understands the abuse cycle, you have no choice but to either

• Get into relationships where you let other abuse you
• Get into relationships where you abuse others

But you can break free and it comes from understanding -- yourself, your primary abuser and, more importantly why you always tend to hear neutral comments as negative and negative comments as an all-out attack > > >

Jumpstart - How to Become an Abuse Victor Part 2 [Feel It]

One of the things I love about the book  “the emotionally abusive relationship” by Beverly Engel is that she recommends movies to watch that will get you back in touch with long-buried emotions.

Through a process she calls cocooning, Engel recommends you sit and watch these movies, journal, and get in touch with your emotions.

WOW!  Well, in today’s JumpStart learn from my experience

• How painful and cathartic this is
• Which particular movie pushed me over the edge so I could fly back to freedom
• What movies she recommends and how best to apply this concept

You can’t heal it, til you feel it > > >
