My friend Jeffrey Lam<\/a> said it best:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ERIC, it seems that in life you optimize for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153mindspace<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re willing to trade money, convenience and other things to maximize your mindspace.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I agree. For me, the best mind (or my own optimal mind for myself) is mostly via negativa: I want *fewer* worries, cares, and needless thoughts in my mind. I want to have a crystal clear mind \u00e2\u20ac\u201d to gain a more clear picture of things and the world. Clairvoyance \u00e2\u20ac\u201d clear vision is what I desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what to do with this clear mind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let interesting innate thoughts and ideas come to me, to speak to me, in order for me to focus on my creative \u00e2\u20ac\u0153ideation<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And these more interesting ideas and thoughts \u00e2\u20ac\u201d I desire to meditate, think on them, marinate them, and eventually write about them and share them with the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
