Are We Animating the Machine?

Yoga and AI alike invite us to notice how we animate the forms we inhabit—and what parts of ourselves are reflected back.

When Your Past Self Makes You Cringe

The discomfort of remembering our past judgments is evidence of growth, not failure—it shows us the cultural scripts we’ve learned to question.

Looking back at how we judged others reveals how much we've grown in understanding consent, compassion, and complexity. From America's Next Top Model: Reality Check – Shandi's Story on rollingstone.com

The Zero-Sum Trap

The Zero-Sum Trap

Predatory hegemony isn’t strength—it’s avidya dressed up as strategy, mistaking extraction for security and deference for respect.

Stephen Walt’s analysis of predatory hegemony in Foreign Affairs reads like a case study in what happens when avidya — fundamental misperception — drives policy. The premise is simple: if you believe the world is zero-sum, you’ll act like a predator. You’ll extract, exploit, demand tribute. You’ll mistake deference for respect and compliance for partnership. Walt describes a shift from benevolent hegemony — where the U.S.

anyone else find that nidra is the practice they never skip? even more than asana?

This is Ashtanga Yoga Tech Support. Real questions from the yoga community, answered. The Question something I've been thinking about lately I've had an on-and-off asana practice for years. some weeks I'm on the mat every day, other weeks I talk myself out of it constantly. you know how it goes but yoga nidra? every single night. haven't missed in months. it's become the most consistent practice I have by far I think it's because it requires zero activation energy. you're already in bed. you press play. you lie there.
