This is a permanent work in process

"Adulting" can be thought of something like the young following instructions until they actually become an adult. The idea is that being an adult is more than just age. Adulting a statement of wanting to be a proper adult.

This is a huge and complex topic, but the interest I have is to whittle it down into manageable pieces which can at least be roughly explained. It's likely this will be a zombie project for as long as I'm alive. .. maybe longer. :)

Well-being / Health > Mental health, Relaxation >

(on Wikipedia)

A conscious act of will.
- An inward version is to pursue awareness, mindfulness or the like.
- An outward / practical version is to focus one's thoughts on something -- to reflect on or ponder over. This is the receiving end of point 3, below.
Clearing one's thoughts.
- For relaxation, or to more spiritually seek something akin to Enlightenment.
  -- Variously described: "No mind", "empty mind", etc.
"A Meditation" is a discourse intended to express its author's reflections or to guide others in contemplation.
- This is the "sending" end of point 1b.
  -- Variously described: "Consider this deeply", "Selah", etc.

The first two are components of Enlightenment and often lead to the experience of an Epiphany. Some version is an instinctive aspect of genius, often seen in sharpening the saw.

/tag/intelligence

This often has to do with literal intelligence (learning, memory), philosophy, scepticism, self-improvement or independence, and includes issues of culture jamming or corporate jamming.

NOTE - this is not a particularly serious project, and things get dumped here before being split off into more focused topics.

Ramen noodles: Just because it's edible doesn't mean it's food.

Food preparation.

Eating is a big part of life, but it's something many people don't concern themselves with nearly enough.

The goal of this project is to create lists of recipes which cater to the lazy bastard in all of us. The ingredients will be common and cheap, and the food will be of extraordinary nutritional value.. why? Well, the more nutritious a meal is, the less one has to eat to stay healthy.. and the less one has to eat the more food there will be.. and the more food there will be the less one has to cook!
