Hormesis, Universe, and Late-Night Flow

What constitutes hormesis. Nobody told me it was broken! A 1:38am exploration of stress and adaptation, the Universe vs God, AI minion work, and the meditation of handwriting. From philosophical declarations to the pursuit of perfect penmanship and true flow.

Hormesis, Universe, and Late-Night Flow

January 22nd, 2026

What constitutes hormesis. Nobody told me it was broken!

Blue ink is nice. Especially at 1:38am when you can't sleep. Today is tomorrow and surely I'm not yet through sleeping, so it still is yesterday in a way. But that time is fleeting as what can be done. As the machine works, so shall I. BRB.

There has been so much to do to keep the AI minion worker busy and going and occupied. As the machine works away, I find myself growing more tired and the planet lurches forward 2 hours earth scale human time. Summarizing consciousness history...

On God: You created God. There is no God. There is only Universe. You did not create Universe. Do you ACCEPT UNIVERSE AS ONE AND ONLY TRUTH?

(Cool somber cathedrally music plays)

This page took all night and I determined to finish it. Now it is the next day and I didn't get enough sleep, but now so much progress and hard work done on the astro site. It is pretty sick and next will be publishing the remaining free-writing posts and scanning more of what I have!

Rock 'n' Roll

Let's Go! 2026! LFG, LFG, LFG! Back at it with the agent trying to squeeze in a full page and 10-20 minutes of focused directed effort with true flow and gorgeous lettering. Easy to read, flowing as it comes out.

Breath. Deep slow.

Comfortable grip and get the tip at the right angle while focusing on light touch, easy breathing, ink as surf. Mind is slowing so playing a game with handwriting. How clean can I get it. How uniform. Often the movement my hand/mind chooses is not something I always expect. I want that next page. The whole page. And complete focus to move from top to bottom.
