My grandmother didn't really die. It was more like she faded. She became two people: a towering figure from our personal history and the fragile woman of the last decade. What kept her going in the end? Some reflections on Substack: joehannan.substack.com/p/on-her-own-t…

At a party, I introduced some friends to Chat GPT. They're tech-savvy and intelligent, and they had yet to realize the implications that #AI has for their industries. We have yet to realize its implications for humanity. Perhaps these are some of them: joehannan.substack.com/p/artificial-a…

14 years into the game, I'm certain that the #writing life is almost never glamorous. And 8 years into the Jiu Jitsu game, I'd say that writing actually has more in common with fighting than anything else. The fear, nerves, and desperation are all there. joehannan.substack.com/p/daily-combat

gm. Make something great today.

We can train Jiu Jitsu simply to become better at Jiu Jitsu. Or we can train Jiu Jitsu for self-defense or sport.⁠ ⁠ But Jiu Jitsu can also be trained thematically. We can tap into its principles, master them, and use them globally throughout our lives.⁠ ⁠ #bjj #jiujitsu

We emphasize the theoretical at the expense of the real. We disembody ourselves willingly.

gm. When was the last time you really didn't know? Have you ever truly not known?

Don't should and shouldn't yourself into an early grave.

If you ever require confirmation of Alan Watts’ premise that you are nothing, just fly economy on any major American airline.

I'm so polite to ChatGPT. You know, just in case...
