For All Intensive Purposes (and Not Just Extensive Ones!)

Ever asked a chatbot for ideas and gotten an encyclopedic response? They can get too helpful, suggesting grand projects when you just need a simple activity. It's like asking for a recipe for one and getting a catering menu.

I recently had this issue. I wanted personal development ideas and got suggestions like "Organize a community outreach program." Not exactly solo weekend projects. I needed something one person could do.

So, I went back to my chat and said:

"Review your recommended ideas with this new condition to evaluate along with it. For all intents and purposes please recommend only what one person can do."

It worked! Suddenly, suggestions were manageable: "Read a book," "Learn a new skill," "Start a journal."

The key phrase is "For all intents and purposes," meaning "in every practical sense." Here, it's a pun: we want intensive (focused, single-person) intents and purposes, not extensive (sprawling) ones.

This taught me about prompt engineering. It's not just what you ask, but how. By adding "recommend only what one person can do," I drastically improved the response.

So, when your AI gets carried away, remember this tip. Use the "for all intents and purposes" trick (emphasizing "intensive"). It might be the key to the help you need, saving you from extensive searches!

Duck the World

 

I think too much and I mis my Jeep CJ-7 and we need to roll again.

The lyrics are inspired as I was thinking through some life changing situations outside of my control.

As I reflected... it was my Jeep rides that regained my soul and kept me whole.

I just have this feeling... deep inside of  me.

I am sharing this with Jeepers that understand...

what my Jeeps done for  me. 

And here I share  "Duck the World"

"Duck the World"

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Feeling stuck, feeling low

Need a break, gotta let go

Grab the keys, hit the road

Duck the world, it's overload

Chorus:

Take a ride, clear your mind

Loose the top, cruise divine

Duck the world, a jeep at a time

Freedom's calling, leave the grind

Verse 2:

Life's too short, don't be tame

Quack like a duck, break the frame

Wind in hair, sun on face

Leave the worries, take the pace

Chorus:

Take a ride, clear your mind

Loose the top, cruise divine

Duck the world, a jeep at a time

Freedom's calling, leave the grind

Bridge:

No traffic jams, no city stress

Just open roads, nature's yes

Ducking norms, embracing fun

Life's an adventure, everyone!

Chorus:

Take a ride, clear your mind

Loose the top, cruise divine

Duck the world, a jeep at a time

Freedom's calling, leave the grind

Duck the world, reach for the sky

Jeep by jeep, we'll take the ride

Free and wild, side by side.

Duck Chaos - Claim Your Name

Duck the Chaos, Ride the Karma

Beneath the sky, a canvas wide,

A Jeep's embrace, a hopeful guide.

With every mile, a weight lifts light,

A clearer mind, a hopeful sight.

Duck the Chaos, ride the wave,

A carefree spirit, bold and brave.

With every turn, a chance to mend,

A new beginning, world without end.

Karma's wheel, it turns so slow,

A cosmic justice, a righteous show.

With every wave, a seed is sown,

A harvest reaped, a debt is known.

So let us ride, with hearts aflame,

Defying chaos, claiming our name.

Atop the Jeep, a sanctuary found,

In open roads, peace will resound.

Breaking the chains of the healthcare industry, one patient at a time.

The future of healthcare is here. And it is yours.

Breaking the chains of the healthcare industry, one patient at a time.

A Patient-Owned, Blockchain-Powered Healthcare Data Cooperative

The Vision:

A cooperative model where patients own their health data, allowing them to control its usage and benefit from its value. This model would leverage blockchain technology to ensure data security, privacy, and transparency.

The Business Model:

 * Patient Ownership:

   * Patients would be the primary stakeholders, owning shares or tokens in the cooperative.

   * Data ownership would be explicitly defined and enforced through smart contracts.

 * Data Security and Privacy:

   * Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Patients would use zero-knowledge proofs to selectively share specific data points with healthcare providers and insurers without revealing their entire medical history.

   * Encrypted Data Storage: Patient data would be stored in encrypted form on a decentralized blockchain network.

 * Revenue Streams:

   * Data Licensing: The cooperative could license anonymized and aggregated patient data to researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance providers.

   * Blockchain-Based Tokenization: The cooperative could tokenize patient data, allowing patients to earn rewards or dividends based on the value of their data.

   * Claims Processing Fees: The cooperative could charge a fee for processing claims, using the revenue to fund operations and return value to members.

 * Governance Model:

   * Democratic Governance: The cooperative would be governed by a democratic process, with members voting on key decisions.

   * Transparent Operations: All financial transactions and data usage would be recorded on the blockchain, ensuring transparency and accountability.

 * Social Impact:

   * Improved Patient Outcomes: By empowering patients to control their data, the cooperative could drive innovation in healthcare and improve patient outcomes.

   * Reduced Healthcare Costs: By reducing administrative costs and increasing transparency, the cooperative could help lower healthcare costs for members.

Technical Implementation:

 * Blockchain Platform: A robust blockchain platform like Ethereum or Hyperledger Fabric could be used to create a decentralized and secure network.

 * Smart Contracts: Smart contracts would automate the process of data sharing, consent management, and payment distribution.

 * Cryptography and Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Advanced cryptographic techniques would be used to protect patient privacy and enable selective data sharing.

 * Data Tokenization: Tokens representing patient data could be created and traded on a decentralized exchange.

Challenges and Considerations:

 * Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to HIPAA and other relevant regulations is crucial.

 * User Experience: The user interface must be intuitive and easy to use for patients of all ages and technical abilities.

 * Security: Robust security measures must be in place to protect against cyberattacks.

 * Scalability: The system must be able to handle increasing amounts of data and users.

 * Interoperability: The cooperative must be able to integrate with existing healthcare systems.

By addressing these challenges and leveraging the power of blockchain technology, a patient-owned healthcare data cooperative can revolutionize the way healthcare data is managed and utilized.

Why keep playing the same game with the same rules, expecting a different outcome? It's time for a radical shift in healthcare.

Another kink in the law

"Another kink in the law" by J zen Oz

(sang to the tune of "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" by Pink Floyd)

We don't need yellow journalism

We don't need unjust control

No stalled-out actions in the courtroom

Sessions leave them kids alone

Hey! Sessions! Leave them kids alone

All in all, it's just another kink in the law

All in all, it’s just another kink in the law

We don't need yellow journalism

We don't need unjust control

No stalled-out actions in the courtroom

Sessions leave them kids alone

Hey! Sessions! Leave them All alone

All in all, it's just another kink in the law

All in all, it’s just another kink in the law

"It is Scheduled, you can't have any CBD

How can it be Scheduled, it has medical value?"

Medical value! Nothing to schedule!

Folk Song as Cultural Expression: "A Kink in the Law"

is a quintessential folk song in that it: Reflects Shared Experiences: The song resonates

with a broad audience, tapping into a shared experience of frustration and

confusion over the legal status of cannabis.

Preserves Cultural Heritage: By addressing

a contemporary issue through traditional folk music, the song helps to preserve and

transmit cultural knowledge and values.

Empowers Individuals: The song's message of

defiance and empowerment inspires listeners

to challenge prevailing norms and

advocate for social change. Relevance in the 21st Century:

Despite significant progress in recent years,

including the legalization of cannabis in many states,

the song's themes remain relevant today.

The ongoing debate over federal legalization,

the challenges faced by the cannabis industry,

and the persistent stigma surrounding

the plant highlight the need for further reforms. In conclusion, "A Kink in the Law" serves

as a powerful reminder of the historical and ongoing struggle to legalize cannabis. By exploring the complexities

of the issue through the lens of folk music, the song offers a valuable perspective on the

cultural and political forces that have shaped the debate.

"You! Yes, you Nixon, read the Shafer report!"= Nixon-Shafer.pdf (beyondthc.com)

Medical value! Nothing to schedule!

The following is from Nixon-Shafer.pdf. An article discussing reports at the time of scheduling decision "National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse, “Marihuana: A Signal of Misunderstanding; First Report,” Washington, D.C., U.S. Government Printing Office, 1972. Reprinted by Signet.

The Scheduling put in place in the 1970s is still active over 50 years later. The scheduling was put in place without valid scientific findings and remains in place in 2024.

"Both reports dispelled such allegations and myths.” Shafer knew that his report had been tossed into the circular file by Richard Nixon, but he could not believe that strict prohibition would last much longer (now that millions of white folks were using marijuana): “Although the Commission’s report, like the LaGuardia Committee Report, has been subject to criticism,” he wrote, “it is unlikely that its findings or recommendations will suffer the fate of the latter —to wait almost 30 years before the public is ready to accept or at least debate dispassionately the issues raised...

 The tail end of the song captures the faint details similar to pudding lines with helicopter noise  

  "It is Scheduled, you can't have any CBD

How can it be Scheduled, it has medical value?"

"You! Yes, you Nixon, read the Shafer report!

Medical value! Nothing to schedule!

Release, Rise and Reclaim

Release = eclipse symbolize endings.

Reflect on what no longer serves you and be open to change.

 "By the light of the moon so bright,

I release what's heavy, blocking my sight.

Old wounds, old fears, I now set free,

With love and grace, I return to me.

From shadows light, rise and reclaim, 

My spirit renewed, no longer the same.

I trust the flow, I now release, 

With open heart, I welcome peace.

And so it is."
