The newsletter is two days late, so I threw in two quotes. I had some difficulty setting up the wifi in Colombia and I’m excited to get this week’s newsletter out.
REFLECTION OF SELF:
I’m trying something different this week. Rather than write out the reflection, I recorded myself speaking it. See this week’s reflection above.
LATEST AUXORO CONTENT:
The Credibility Of Psychedelic Experiences & Are We Experiencing Different Realities?
EXCITING WORK FROM SOMEONE ELSE:
Meaning of Life | Daniel Schmachtenberger and Lex Fridman
QUOTE TO LEAVE YOU INSPIRED:
Maria Konnikova On Poker
“In every other game in a casino—and in games of perfect information like chess and Go—you simply must have the best of it to win. No other way is possible. And that, in a nutshell, is why poker is a skilled endeavor rather than a gambling one.”

W.E.B. Du Bois advice to his daughter
"The main thing is the YOU beneath the clothes and skin—the ability to do, the will to conquer, the determination to understand and know this great, wonderful, curious world.
Don’t shrink from new experiences and custom. Take the cold bath bravely. Enter into the spirit of your big bedroom. Enjoy what is and not pine for what is not.
Read some good, heavy, serious books just for discipline: Take yourself in hand and master yourself. Make yourself do unpleasant things, so as to gain the upper hand of your soul."
