Comment 23w09:  U Not quite panic but in trouble. Apparently, the unchanged way he puts his bed out and back is causing L foot and R shoulder blade pain spots. May have to do strength exercises to strengthen those oldest-age weak spots. Computer jury-rig works, but fan runs simply from typing now — may indicate chip problem beyond iPad-screen fix. When cool, Air seems ok. New computer delivery March 10 in process. Ordered backup heat pad to ensure uninterrupted Tx for foot, back, and shoulder pain. May have to go back to sleep sitting up. Have to run car to handle computer/heat pad Tx load. Continue smooth life operation, not change more routine to exacerbate further trouble, and spend the needed $ for smooth operation. Jean 80yo fell flat on her face while walking away from H2o —scary for an oldest-old with physiology  entropy. W H2o able to turn situation favorable — ice and walker sitting. Foot pain not intractable but a peek at intolerable suicide situation but that’s probably impossible also — “a bottle of Tylenol”. Mobility is threatened. Too busy/dizzy for 85yo. R better “ill” routine F phone ringer just doesn’t work reset phone A even though challenges did not subside panic didn’t ensue. But the tempo for y85 cannot be sustained. A/c use was not spared nor were eats binges to celebrate mid-week partial-solution events. Getting the M2 along was a pleasant surprise. Peaceful car sleep was tolerable, again, without sparing a/c.

Blind Spot.

Book by Clifton (2022).  Brackets {} indicate Kindle location references. 
For Harv, this story is about the birth of the Gallup World Poll as a global study on wellbeing every year {4023}: in a press conference on November 8, 2001 {3982} -- Rumsfeld’s answer ... inspired Gallup to measure the will of the world: "It seems to me that it’s very difficult for you or me … to go down and do a Gallup poll and try to net out the answer … And I am not inclined to chase that rabbit." That day, the Gallup World Poll was born {3983}.
After the Afghanistan era the Gallup conclusion differed from the government's. The most intriguing
finding had to do with how people in predominantly Muslim countries felt about the United States. Officials in the U.S. government had a popular phrase about why terrorists hated America: 'They hate us for our freedoms.' But was it true? {3998}
Muslim countries Gallup surveyed not only didn't hate America for its freedoms; freedom was one of the things they admired most about the West. The only thing they admired more was the West's technology. The main reasons people in these countries gave for why they resented the West had little to do with freedom . Instead, they cited a breakdown in social morals, negative attitudes toward Muslims, corruption, and unfair attitudes about the Palestinian Territories. {4002}
Blind Spot turns the GallupWorld methodology to the topic happiness synonymous with wellbeing {91} and argues for more use of Gallup World conclusions together with GDP when portraying country wellbeing. As one begins to see GDP in terms of personal wellbeing, the closer the opinion makers are to voter sentiment. Are the voters/citizens happier as time brings changes? Economic GDP growth is distinct from personal financial growth. A growing economy may not benefit everyone. Additionally, money's impact on an individual is often examined through their income and not their overall financial situation, including their debt. {1648}
Over all the world, according to Gallup, people feel more anger, sadness, pain, worry, and stress than ever before. {76} While experts seem to count almost everything, they don't systematically measure how people feel. {89}
There is a growing divide between the haves and have-nots of a great life . This is called wellbeing inequality. {100} A term that is different than what leaders understand as income inequality. {99} 
The five elements {136} of inherently {1260} subjective wellbeing ("happiness") {138} are
  • fulfilled by their work, 
  • have little financial stress, 
  • live in great communities, 
  • have good physical health, and have 
  • loved ones they can turn to for help. {126} 
Stated another way {1297} the five aspects all people have in common
  • their work, 
  • finances, 
  • physical health, 
  • communities, and 
  • relationships with family and friends.
Only 300 million in the world have a great job {162}.     Thriving at work even enhances how much joy , laughter , respect, and intellectual stimulation you experience. Having your emotional needs met at work changes everything. For instance, when we surveyed German working adults , 81 % of engaged ( thriving ) workers reported having fun at work in the past week, compared with only 10 % of actively disengaged ( miserable) workers. {1516} The official unemployment rate fails workers for two reasons : It doesn't capture real global unemployment, and it doesn't capture the misery in the workplace . The solution ? Change the metric used for the health of the jobs market. Instead of working to lower the 5.4 % global unemployment rate, world leaders should work on increasing the global great jobs rate, which today stands at 9 %. {1290}    Over 1 billion people are so dissatisfied with their community that they want to leave it forever. {165} Thriving communities are built on trust and people who help each other. {167} Having high physical wellbeing includes being active and eating right. {169} Don't be fussy about your food, and never, never overeat. Don't worry . Work at a job you love, {1289} part of what leads to a long life, but findings also point to what makes a great life. {1295}    A 2021 study by the Pew Research Center spanning 17 countries found that the top answers people gave when asked what makes life meaningful were : family and children, occupation and career, material wellbeing (wealth), friends and community, and physical and mental health {1342}     This book is a primer text on the use of the Gallup World Report yearly product by world leaders and acceptance by the populace whether focused on a specific topic or general comparisons.

Life-long-learning 
2023feb11A6pm. The current wave of AI products is built on a technical breakthrough called generative AI. It allows a computer to create images or words that look like they might have been made by a human. It does this by studying zillions of pictures and text samples, often scraped from the web. To use them, you feed them an English-language phrase telling them what you want to do. Figuring out the right prompt is becoming an art of its own.    Bing chat can be useful to research complex topics, but its responses are often too wordy to be usefulhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/02/10/ai-guide/
2023jan20. The virtual educational session is not a concession to pandemic learning or a stopgap for a teacher who is sick. It is how sophomores are expected to learn geometry this year after the district could not find a teacher. In the Mississippi Delta, where schools have historically been shortchanged, teaching candidates — especially those who know math — are hard to come by.
Harv currently subscribes to "virtual" Wondrium -- topics have been Stoicism and Quantum Mechanics -- as deep or as shallow one wants to take their learning-life-long. https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/01/19/teacher-shortage-mississippi/

Lifespan.

updated 2023jan10T9pm

   Book read Lifespan was recommended 23w02 by Ray. Thank you Ray for causing Harv to circle back into Harv's web-site life-model work now named Control Your Lifetime/life time (CYL) Control Your Life in short -- a familiar ring of the book that began a personal journey, that is, Alan Lakine's paperback "How to control your time and your life."

The book Lifespan by Sinclair (2019) can be of import to one’s thought, via the term healthspan - “the portion of our lives spent without disease or disability” (Location 227 of that book). (Sinclair, David ; LaPlante, Matthew D.. Lifespan: Why We Age—and Why We Don't Have To. Atria Books. Kindle Edition.) 

   For himself, Harv questions when his lifespan hasn’t been at dis-ease or dis-ability (pop victimhood of sorts) — that certainly qualifies Harv to buy the book.

   And, if Harv references his 2022 newfound writer ease/ability HarvOtto.com “web site aim”, he may be able to claim most of his life as dysfunctional ease/ability. Four of his five epochs (84 years total) are identified as the ”chase” for human functionality. A question for Harv then: is Sinclair’s ideal tale of what human functionality could be, just a fictitious tale — perhaps analogous to the promise of fusion energy, as was previously renewable energy, atomic energy, and fossil energy?

   For Harv, the tale of Sinclair’s healthspan seems optimistic journalism at the book Introduction (L82). In harsh terms, healthspan is Best Seller crumbs thrown to mainly urban slaves of the modern global economy where growing wealth disparity affords healthspan to the select.

   The Best Seller trick of the trade for this publish is the cowriter at mdlaplante.com — an excellent resume and due credit.

   For Sinclair, the book is the mere basis for the personal wealth promise of his Sinclair Disclosure (page 294).

   However, before slamming the door on Sinclair, Harv does seek practical ways to increase his newly-introduced healthspan life-quality term as part of his more familiar longevity term. 

   For example, in what ways does Harv advantage healthspan quality from his life time of health services? Then, for his daily lifestyle, what does Harv do to optimize his healthspan?

   Harv knows of his life-long health/psychological service fumbles — personal and specialist. That is Harv’s personalization of Sinclair’s Part 1. Harv also has successes in healthspan before he knew the term.

   In Sinclair’s Part 2  (page 88) “There is great reason for hope on the not-so-distant horizon, but those battling against the ravages of aging right now must do so in a world in which most doctors have never even thought about why we age, let alone how to treat aging.”

   With this limitation in mind, Harv uses the book's Part 2, via his Kindle notes, to reenforce the specifics of his healthspan lifestyle going forward by integrating same into his web-site life-model.

   Back from the Lifespan-read to Harv's web-site-life-model work. Any project has its cocoon that protects the reality of the non-reality within the cocoon as the protected work ensues. Upon project closure, the cocooned results can then be applied to the project of Harv's-real-life, itself a forever-project. Beginning 2022, that project of Harv's-real-life is titled YOUTHFUL SPIRIT (encoded as HarvOtto.com). 'YS' is renamed y84, y85, etcetera but the project is never closed unless fervent-closure-steps are taken, most beyond Harv's grasp. In religious speak this may be entertained as eternal life to pump one's significance. Via human entropy, YS will disappear. Until then, Harv uses YS as a could-be functional model for optimizing his lifetime/life time -- attempting to better visualize the optimization of his daily routine and sundry projects of which, too many are unclosed -- thus a warranted critique of "chaos" existing under the guise of "organized". WILL "YS" BECOME MORE THE MODEL OF HARV'S FUNCTIONALITY? If that is to be so going forward, how will that happen step by step? From Lifespan, longevity steps? From where???   What???   But, perhaps the reading/writing Blogger style exemplified in this paragraph is a progression from its own cocoon, or better described, the work results of several/many intermingled/entwined cocoons.

   Back to Harv's web-site-life-model work and his choice to return to some other activity-thread of sense - seemingly unsuccessful due to his current inability to control his life-time L-T(hours) recently and thus ultimately his LT lifetime/lifespan/healthspan 'happiness'. {Using shift-brackets for emphasis, Harv wrote this paragraph with a first-ever writer-feeling-sensation of using Blogger-software for the human publish/read cycle, knowing that his market target is a meer audience of one, that is his self, and specifically aimed for his betterment therein.} Within his LT  lifetime, he has seemingly come  a "full-circle" of 60 years - 1960s to 2020s.

A future-forward web-site twist

   Harv reinvents his 1960s idea of LT lifetime control. His dissertation narrative needs review -- another of his L-T(hours) snags. To be continued ... This feels like 'book' outline stuff.

Harv sees the old-people-demographic as reassured in their denial-climate as just stumbling ahead on their own demented path, except when those stumbles/denials suppress group quality. Further, Harv sees growing public aggression as major dementia and old-people agitation/aggression as minor.
