Enjoy

Disfrutar means to enjoy in Spanish. For us it stands for Dopamine - Intelligence - Service - Fabrication - Religion - University - Tenency - Assistance - Recovery (DISFRUTAR). It's one of the many mnemonics  to get leads and tips for life.

What do people want? It seems that people want to disfrutar, that is to enjoy life. That may not be a bad thing. You can live your life like it is a grand party. That does not mean to party like a degenerate rock star entertaining deadly vices and gimmicks. It means enjoying life to its fullest as a celebration of an unknown and brief experience that may or may not have a purpose at all.  

What is the purpose of life? No one knows. It could be that life has no intrinsic purpose whatsoever. Life could be a happenstance in the sense of something that happens in energy fields without a deep philosophical reason behind it. Humans look for purpose and meaning in life. That search for meaning and purpose may be a human need and subjective construct rather than an objective one independent of human observance. 

It's essentially impossible to tell if life has a purpose outside of the realm of human intuitive quest for meaning and purpose. Humans come up with stories and fantasies about the purpose of life. It's hard to prove them. In addition, the more we know, the more we need to keep learning. The more we dig for knowledge, the deeper the ignorance hole gets. The more light we shed, the more there is to yet to be seen. 

Life can be seen as the ability of intelligent energy clusters to stay energized by willful agency. Living organisms self regulate internal processes and interact with external processes to stay energized and "alive". We do it by a combination of unconscious and autonomous processes that are inherited programming scripts or instincts plus learned habits and interactive tricks. 

By instinct we engage in activities that lead to our survival. These were the activities that led to the survival of our ancestors, and thus survived in us. We add conscious actions that we take to avoid pain and seek pleasure according the inherited pain / pleasure associations plus the learned ones through life. We do all this to enjoy life, to "disfrutar"

Return to office: a blessing for mediocre employees

Post-COVID Return to Office: meritocracy of mediocrity  The post-COVID Return to Office (RTO) transition brings great employment opportunities for mediocre employees.  Many top performers want to keep the productive freedom discovered during the COVID pandemic.

Valuation No one knows much about valuation these days.
