u only absorb or adsorb shit.
internalizng vs. learning
boyz & gurlz.
just made the first two versions of the water filter.
tbh, i’m not impressed by ma shit.
i got some experiments from my college that malfunctioned,
and played around with it until i got the concentrations right.
what r they?
i’ll share soon.
but my reactions in the v1 tell u something:
353 days of learning,
were squeezed into one moment.
that’s called absorption.
and not just adsorbing stuff.
wtf r u talking about, carlos?
time for lesson 101 in mat sci:
absorption vs. adsorption.
absorption - gets engulfed past the surface of a material, is inside of the substance
adsorption - attaches to a surface of a material, lies on the substance
simple, ok?
but trust me, there r tons of ppl who’ll never do it simple.
and that’s how lessons are taught.
most of these lessons i preach r not rly original tbh.
they are just personal stories with an experience.
experiences like surgery, Oaxaca, music, filter, etc.
and that experience had absorbed information into my brain.
that’s y i can make these posts that become authentic.
that’s y i bloomed the filter into life.
when nobody thought it was gunna happen, it did.
but when u only retain information for a specific scenario:
the information only sticks for a bit.
and like a post-it:
it falls off.
it loses its stickiness.
that’s y we seek information constantly.
or y we distract ourselves with social media, porn, and “worthless” social events.
it’s just all fuckn pleasure to forget the lack of a mission in our life.
when we don’t absorb ourselves,
we are lacking clarity.
what we do not pay with clarity (or money lol),
we will pay with our attention & time.
that’s when we are adsorbed to information, lessons, etc.
we have heard of them. we know them. we have learned.
but we have yet to internalize them.
y?
no clarity yet… towards how we will use them.
so what am i gunna do, carlos?
imma take a bet on u.
u most likely have twitter.
if u do, great.
if not, open linkedin.
if twitter: check ur bookmarked tweets.
if linkedin: check the posts u liked.
look at the first ten.
then, ask:
why did i take this action?
was it a friend/acquaintance? or was i insecure about something?
or was it a lesson from a respected person i like?
then, ask:
when tf am i not gunna use this?
y am i telling u this?
what i lacked was clarity.
removing what did not get me to clarity on the current mission of ma life:
goes out the window. fuck it, never seeing it again.
only what works stays.
once i win with v3 filter, then i’ll allow myself.
v3 filter is my own world cup final. when i pull it off, i’ve won. my mission has been fulfilled.
just a lesson i wanted to share with y’all after 353 days…
353 days of eating OG 24-karat, gold-plated, non-GMO organic shit!
to get here.
but job’s not done.
same for you, ma brotha /sista.
CJ
know someone in ur friend / fam circle who MUST read this?
