This entry represents something like my stream of consciousness for Wednesday, 3 December, 2025. This is basically like a journal entry that I work on throughout the day and then don’t go back to correct errors.
Update 13.Dec.2025: This post moved to:
Topics in this post:
- Songs
- AI impersonating Alan Watts
- TV programs from my childhood
- Gurdjieff: Most people have no soul
- I struggle with my own ego
Some songs for today:
- The Cranberries: Dreams
- The Cranberries: Zombie
- Sinéad O’Connor & The Chieftains: The Foggy Dew
- The Clancy Brothers: Johnson’s Motor Car
- The Statler Brothers: Daddy Sang Bass
- Anne Murray: You Needed Me
- Disturbed: The Sound Of Silence: Simon and Garfunkel cover that seems to be a reinterpretation of the lyrics with a result that is better than the original.
- No Doubt: Don’t Speak: I saw these guys live once. I could swear that the drummer, who was wearing only whitey tightie undies, tried to throw a stick to me after the show, possibly because he saw me looking at him through binoculars.
- Slayer: Behind The Crooked Cross: I recommend at least the entire South of Heaven album.
I was listening to the following video last night but got upset at about 7:10 when the voice of Alan Watts, who died in 1973 (the year I was born), mentioned texts and then started talking about himself in the third person. It doesn’t make the content worthless, but AI pretending to be someone bothers me. Afterwards, I noticed that the voice was rather flat and the audio quality might have been too good to have been recorded during his lifetime. I think I fell asleep after 10:00 last night and got up around 4:00 this morning.

It’s 5:30. Now I’m having second cup of coffee while working on a piece about Gurdjieff:
Wow, my audio-to-text AI really has a hard time with that name! I saw at least these, and very few of them more than once:
- Gurf
- Gurgef
- GeF
- Gorgev
- Gurgev
- Goref
- Gerf
- Gurf
- Gurv
- Gorge

I always want more time and energy to read and write.
It’s 7:00. I published this:
It’s 10:15. I went to a nearby resort for breakfast and probably had too much Thai coffee. I have a massage scheduled for 12:00. I’ll try to do a few small things before then.
