The Disney CEO says they are going to make a more cultural impactful character to play Jack Sparrow.




What if Depp plays the character Jacklyn Sparrow, who identifies as a black trans woman?

Darwin is not a hero of mine.




He won the battle to publish so he gets his name to it, but evolution is the real hero.

Adapt, change, conquer.

Or divide, fight and be trampled.

Culture is such a toxic thing at times, from focusing on it over economic issues to judging how other people enjoy or express themselves, it all seems a me thing that people want to make a you thing.

Would be funny to see Jack sparrow as a trans black woman though lol, as a swash buckling dick guzzling cock gobbler.

We all need a bit of that in our lives sometimes.

how are we more able to choose our focus?




1. Garbage in, garbage out. We can control the content we feed into our brains. Is it positive, encouraging, and uplifting?

2. We are the average of our five closest friends. We become the people we spend time with. We can choose our friends carefully and limit our exposure to negativity.

3. One can be aware of one's thoughts, and redirect as needed. Some of this discussion seems to be a group meditation on negativity. We cultivate that to which we give our cerebral energy.

4. One can change one's posture (state follows physiology) and then practice gratitude. One cannot simultaneously grumble and practice gratitude.

Is amusing to me.




People who have to remove many individuals from their lives are often the common denominator of many problems.

you said 1. Garbage in, garbage out. We can control the content we feed into our brains. Is it positive, encouraging, and uplifting?
I agree to a certain extent, that yes we can make distinctions between what is meritorious and worth carrying forward, and what is better disengaged with, left behind or disposed of. (here the reflex action is grasp, put, or let go - not control)

you said 2. We are the average of our five closest friends. We become the people we spend time with. We can choose our friends carefully and limit our exposure to negativity.
I agree that when we mix with and mirror our friends it sticks with us, the number 5 is arbitrary. But the idea here is that it is our own responsibility to determine what we reflexively grasp, put or let go of, not the responsibility of our friends, and that involves practice as well as mimicry (mental contamination).

you said 3. One can be aware of one's thoughts, and redirect as needed. Some of this discussion seems to be a group meditation on negativity. We cultivate that to which we give our cerebral energy.
I agree that we can observe our mental contents, and that is probably the most spiritual thing we ever do do (i.e. attending the ineffable) but even here the best I seem able to do is grasp or let go; and when I grasp there is some tension, but the idea recirculates and ramifies (reflexively) branching out further into other related perceptions; and when I let go, I can see it as it is in it's own light (mental energy) then it fades. I do not think this is really control - more like working with what can be done with associative mind.

and you said 4. One can change one's posture (state follows physiology) and then practice gratitude. One cannot simultaneously grumble and practice gratitude.
and again I agree a lot about physical body tension and positional proprioceptive signals and semaphores which cue ongoing perceptions in the stream of consciousness. I think of it like steering a bicycle, swerving from one side to another which we can learn to do with microtremors such that it seems we are balanced on two wheels - it is a precarious thing. None the less, with awareness, yes we can hang loose and hang tight while making progress through our day.

Again I see it more as reaction or reflex perceptions rather than control.
