Harv’s life as perpetual-problems-solving can be seen as (1) separated challenges and (2) unseparated(complex) challenges. If the problems are understood, then the problem-solving-time spent can be short, and considered personal GROWTH in an ‘old’ sense, which includes the ability to step time-spent to the next personal self-interest — subject to boredom and life.flow theory. However, living a liquid modernity is problemS and thus complex unless seriously fenced and thus not freeing. Harv seeks continued freeing. Quick links to this blog’s unfenced highlights — directly below. Trying to “put his complex all together.”

My life.living.means are presented as an MO — based on functional health.  If not a healthy self, then its preoccupation defaults to being the return to functional health — not to reinvent a historical replication, but to put a functionally organized self into real-time operation.  What are those “nice alts” to be / become ?

Liquid Modernity
Bauman, Zygmunt
Foreword to the 2012 Edition: Liquid Modernity Revisited
Note - Location 208
As I sought a retirement state of life, I moved my wealth to liquidity. Then in the 2020s I was free of the residual IRA distributions — a financial freedom to go along with my other lifetime freedom struggles. You could see my lifetime as “wack-the-current-mole” — even to this week of 2025w15 — I had a 7-day breakdown. Not quite the “Zen Motorcycle” catatonic breakdown but frustrating enough for me to report the number of days. I had planned to enjoy the resorts of Walt Disney World beginning the prior weeks but illness and mystery compounded my action of WITHDRAWAL. Then as in previous weeks of my 87 years, a spark ignited yet another new thrust to add to my HarvOtto.com mess that I hold close, in hope of explanation, perhaps as my virtual lifetime in retirement.
Foreword: On Being Light and Liquid
Note - Page 1 · Location 458
In my imagination, my 7-day breakdown bore the fruit of a connection to liquid modernity — not because of it, but at in the same time frame. My media glean process was the same the previous seven days. So, the connection happened. My glean did not cause LM, but rather discovered it — discovered the potential parallelism of others in the field of LM. Thus his self grows. It’s freeing expansion of his pie-of-life — the pie perhaps being the pleasure of that mouse’s brain sample.

Psychological 7-day breakdown, based on previously reported breakdown days, broke into the realm of liquid modernity [lifetime fluidity] — perhaps a parallel to my recent decades of lifetime.  Thus no need to mire in breakdown detail —many micro solutions were had and a better health condition adjudged — physically, emotionally. intellectually, socially sociality.

The U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration early Saturday to halt the deportations of at least 30 alleged Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.
“The Government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court,” the order reads.
Two justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr., dissented. 
….
The Supreme Court ruled this month that the Trump administration had the authority to deport migrants under the act but said the government must first provide detainees an opportunity to contest their removals. Those challenges, the justices said, should be brought in the court districts nearest to the detention centers where the migrants are being held. That set off a flurry of activity in federal courts across the country as immigration advocates seek to locate and identify migrants targeted for removal and quickly file individual cases on their behalf in front of multiple federal courts.
In a Friday court filing, the ACLU said that “officers last night told class members that they will be removed within 24 hours … upon information and belief, individuals have already been loaded on to buses.”  https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/04/18/aclu-alien-enemies-deportations-trump/?utm_source=alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=wp_news_alert_revere&location=alert

If you’re sedentary, you officially need about 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight, according to the recommended daily allowance set by the government’s Food and Nutrition Board. This translates to somewhere between 45 to 60 grams of daily protein for most people who rarely exercise   https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/05/24/protein-weight-loss-muscle-facts/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F4228ca7%2F680278c809671829d6cd43ef%2F598b051fae7e8a68162a1429%2F16%2F52%2F680278c809671829d6cd43ef



When life becomes organised into familiar and manageable categories, he argued, there are always social groups who cannot be administered, who cannot be separated out and controlled. In his book Modernity and Ambivalence Bauman began to theorise about such indeterminate persons in terms of an allegorical figure he called, 'the stranger.' Drawing upon Georg Simmel's sociology and the philosophy of Jacques Derrida, Bauman came to write of the stranger as the person who is present yet unfamiliar, society's undecidable. In Modernity and Ambivalence Bauman attempted to give an account of the different approaches modern society adopts toward the stranger. He argued that, on the one hand, in a consumer-oriented economy the strange and the unfamiliar is always enticing; in different styles of food, different fashions and in tourism it is possible to experience the allure of what is unfamiliar. Yet this strange-ness also has a more negative side. The stranger, because he cannot be controlled or ordered, is always the object of fear; he is the potential mugger, the person outside of society's borders who is a constant threat.[33]  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygmunt_Bauman
With many individuals, everything strange is rejected via fear in contrast with freeing their self.





Using a speck of mouse brain matter the size of a grain of sand, scientists have created the first precise, three-dimensional map of a mammal’s brain.

The map details the form, function and activity of 84,000 neurons, branched structures that fire off messages down a long arm, called an axon, and then through more than 500 million synapses, as well as 200,000 brain cells. The tiny piece of tissue contained 3.4 miles (5.4 kilometers) of neuronal wiring — nearly one and a half times the length of New York City’s Central Park.

The work is the culmination of almost a decade of research by 150 scientists at 22 institutions led by the Allen Institute for Brain Science, the Baylor College of Medicine and Princeton University.

“One byproduct of this whole project shows us just how incredibly beautiful the brain is,” said Dr. Forrest Collman, associate director of data and technology at the Allen Institute, in a video shared by the organization.  https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/15/science/3d-brain-map-mouse-mammal-breakthrough/index.html

After years of high inflation were cured by a punishing recession in the early 1980s [my mid-life crisis “you will be punished for sickness”(psychiatrist 1983 based on Elaine interview)], the Fed and other central banks around the world sought and were granted considerable operational autonomy, or “independence,” by their governments to set interest rates with an eye toward the long-run good of the economy. Central bank independence also insulates politicians from taking the blame for unpopular steps to corral inflation.  https://www.wsj.com/economy/central-banking/trump-has-for-months-privately-discussed-firing-fed-chair-powell-628d3d79?st=fmQYMz&mod=djemwhatsnews
