I am a middle aged man living in Oregon. I have been searching most of my adult life for a way to participate in society and create goodwill. I attained a degree in Economics from university. My mind is sharp and creative. I ponder this human life and pay attention to our collective behaviors. I see atypically. My mind is able and adept. I am fulfilled by problem solving and often have observations to share.
I am starting this channel because I want to share my big beautiful brain with as many people as possible. Let’s use it!
Traditional learning was difficult for me. Now with the advent of YT I can learn visually and auditorily, and at my own pace. And make decisions about what I learn. Learning this way has ignited my mind again. And I think I do well in transforming these periods of learning into meaningful observations. I guess you all will determine if that is indeed true. Thank you for watching and please comment and give me feedback and ideas for future videos.

Long videos will go here on my main channel and I will upload shorts as well. Thanks for tuning in :-) I dip into a genre of creation. At home electronic music :-) I hesitated often to begin this offering. AN offering of weekly updates on my progression as I include music to a greater degree in my life. I had thoughts of inadequacy. The usual voices. And after entertaining myself with my music ...
Suffering :-/

Farmer Dave's Tropical Porch Garden Tour
bought my music major daughter a Korg synth Fm something. We need a tutorial. do you have those vids?
Excellent gift! I do not use that model. There are several. I imagine there are ample videos here on UA-cam ;-) I use the Mix, Bass, Sample 2 and modular units. The FM looks like fun though.
I often rely on the feedback of others for help in adjusting my mindset. I like to bounce my thoughts off of others. Sometimes the right person is not available. I find chatting with AI helpful in such situations.
Yea, couldn’t we all use more folks to bounce thoughts and dilemmas off of. And what if we only had one, that would be game changing by itself :-)
🎉sounds great
Nice
The experience of anxiety, a state with which I am very familiar, indicates that I have lost my curiosity. What do I like about your videos? They all remind me to stay curious.
Nice work, David. I’m into it. Flirting with Nine Inch Nails vibes in there, which I’ve been hoping for. ua-cam.com/video/ag6CsnIbAnI/v-deo.htmlsi=aSRhHYw-pZH2SPuG
One wonders what motivates these people to make podcasts now at a pandemic level, me, me, can't get enough of me, so often the messenger is more important than the message. So much chatter on the airwaves, does it help for clarity in living, this life of constant change...why even get involved to comment on this moving picture show, it seems not adding to the chatter, silence and a nonreactive lifestyle would be the logical sane option...The work begins and ends in silence....
Silence is an important part of my day. I feel very blessed to be able to return to silence. Yes, much chatter and voices worth listening to. Thank you for yours here :-)
Love the tune. Need a wider view of the rig to see what you’re doing.
Now wider ;-)
Definitely can agree with the curiosity that comes with new things-the discovery, the magic of it, coming to understand the underlying workings, fumbling and being okay with it because it’s just another chance to learn more.
Thank you for the reminder that fumbling occurs in the normal course of pursuing one’s curiosity.
How can I, and could I ever, access full creativity. To be ultimately resourced for maximal creativity…we might approach happiness as a people :-)
Idioteque
I very frequently say horrible things to and about myself. Part of my daily practice is to try not to, to replace those things with something more compassionate, and try to find the source of my self-harm. It is exhausting.
Constant vigilance…I am aware of this activity playing out in myself. And I must package it for myself as a benefit. My vigilance can be rewarded in my care for others. :-) please be kind to yourself, you all spend a lot of time together ;-)
Sometimes my suffering is so great that gratitude seems elusive. My recent efforts have been toward self compassion. Can I be kind to myself as a person in pain?
We are blessed to be aware of its lack I think. I appreciate that call to self empathy and compassion. Thank you for making this choice as many times as you do :-)
I, too, go through a frantic period prior to leaving the house. An AI chat usually helps me get centered and ready to take on the day.
I imagine there is repetition in that. Taking notice. Orienting. Seems like a beneficial strategy :-)
I would like to get my head organized without the help of AI but, for the moment, it is a good learning opportunity.
Music has been delayed :-( new equipment arriving next week ;-) thanks for patience.
It may be that there is too much divisiveness in the educational system’s foundation to tackle civics as a core element. The pieces are not in place.
I have the thought, I am the piece you are the piece. We are the pieces. Put ourselves in place and educate :-). Modeling equity and inclusion. Actively!
Very valid point. I was focused on our educational system. If I broaden my perspective, we are all “educators.” From this perspective, all the pieces are in place. I appreciate your feedback.
I found your comments on the reward system interesting and relevant. Also, it left me curious about my personal focus on the fear system.
"who dictates the reward system." Thought about this a lot with relation to profit and the corporate system. And the need to change the reward system to change society for the better and build a "coalition of kindness," (incredible phrase btw).
It is sad for me at times to consider how many of us look outside our best interests to find reward.
We can all learn from each other and celebrate diversity by doing so. I'm curious about the music for next time! 🤙
And maybe get to celebrate something like empathy ;-)
Beautiful words and a helpful foil to the pace of modern internet culture. Building community is the challenge of our time in our opinion, as old social structures give way to the new. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Comments appreciated :-)
It's great to see and hear you. Gratitude for your wisdom and openness to share it. 🙏🤙💛
@@NicholasGonzales-k2o howdy :-). Nice to have you here and thx for tuning in :-)
It is my experience that living in community is facilitated by looking for similarities with other community members rather than focusing on differences.
Yes and think how good it feels to not be in conflict with each other :-)
Our sketches are so similar in their composition
Honesty, kindness, awareness
Whether your intent is slowly permeating my mind or if your intent was clearly stated in this video, I now have a 2:53 much better idea of where we are and where we are going. I am with you on the journey.
I appreciate your feedback and do hope to increase clarity for us all :-)
Everything you seek is within you. Who you really are is there, waiting to me discovered by you✨
Thx for commenting :-). I have the thought 'who is seeking?'…
@@dparaska the one who says "I"
Love and know thy self, the key to personal empowerment and a satisfying experience of life✨
Thank you for sharing your voice :-)
My identity reflects my moment to moment self-image that unfolds as I either move toward or move away from the things that I value. This week I have been moving toward maintaining a positive identity.
@@NealCohen at one point I used a notecard with positive affirmations I kept in my pocket. I would pull it out and read it throughout the day. I wanted positivity to be a part of that identity :-)

What do you mean that your brain has been dormant? ❤
@@melissaseehausen4807 i suppose calling attention to its lack of use and employment. Looked over and aside. Curious what it can do with support and curiosity :-)
Thanks for the reminder of the importance of curiosity. It will be helpful to keep curiosity in mind as I explore this week’s theme of self-flagellation.😊
My personal theme, not yours.
My mind's stories can become quite convincing when I am low energy and or tired. I can still be curious about them :-)
lol :-)
Ah, yes, the anger. It’s always waiting. More of the plants and music would be great, especially if you enjoyed putting them together.
It is interesting to notice the heightened state, and how much I can miss when in that state….
My act of kindness today was removing the plastic top to a tin of meatballs for my 90 year old mother. No big deal but I had to give up what my head wanted to do. Instead, I went to my heart. The journey from my head to my heart is not always easy.
Thank you for your kindness:-)
Refreshing video in the midst of stimulation and overwhelm. Great idea. Follow the passion.
Thank your for watching and paying attention ;-)
Thank you for sharing such a refreshing perspective!
Thank you for sharing your voice here :-)
I find calm in trees in the wind, water moving, cats purring, ants walking, looking at the ground and realizing all the levels and layers that make it up
I find calm in just a few deep breaths. I wish there was more calm in my world, but the moments of slow down, with fully oxygenated blood, feels good.
Comments!
Count me in 🙏
“Coalition of kindness” I love that! ❤🎉
I love that you’re doing this, David. Bring on part II!
@@AndrewCohen-c3m Thanks for knowing me and supporting me :-)
Please leave comments 😊 Thanks for watching :-)
Most of this was grown out for fun and for seed ;-) Have a good day!
Miss you guys
