Jeepotel as cheap hotel

This is just a light bulb moment sparked by my frustration with the lack of decent and affordable accommodation when I travel around the country, especially in the Cordillera area.

My first thought was to convert jeeps into some sort of RVs for rent. Then another idea is to make them into expandable mobile rooms. Or as another option, why not just a chain of low cost lodging using the gaudy design of jeepneys as motif.

Personally, I am not a fan of the jeepney as a transport vehicle which I believe should now be replaced with more modern, convenient and rapid modes of transport.  What we should do with the jeepney is to evolve it for other uses  and the Jeepotels is just one idea.

Jeepotel may sound like 'cheap hotel' but so what?

Algorithms as a tool for conquest

Much of history is the history of people warring and conquering other people. But whereas firearms and other physical weapons have been used in the past, in this digital age, a new method of conquest and control of the people have been deployed without most of the target people realizing it.

This weapon is algorithm which feeds the mind with its propaganda until a person becomes nothing more than a pliant and submissive follower.

Surplus population

As science and technology advances, the traditional reliance for manual labor gradually becomes unnecessary. As production of goods turn more and more to automation and robots, humans become superfluous leaving them with no value at all. Wealth is concentrated in the hands of those who have knowledge and machines but everyone else is left behind.

These people become the surplus population and their role is reduced to being carriers of the human code. Is this development the only prospect for Homo sapiens?

My insight on meditation

I have been practicing mindfulness/awareness meditation for some time now - over a year and what I like most about it is that I find that it helps me sleep deeper and better at night.

But despite the long time I have been practicing it already, I still find it hard to keep my mind focused on my breath for more than a few seconds. I am aware though when my brain gets to a dream state and I know that somehow I have gone into a different mental state.

I do not believe in the religious or supernatural aspect of meditation. However what I go for when I meditate is to get it back to a precognitive state when I become simply aware of my environment and nothing more. Much like our earliest ancestors when we were just beginning on our path to be humans.
