Wow, yeah, that’s okay.
Wait, no, that’s made my day!
Can you write pi to a thousand places? No, I can’t – I’ll leave those races. 3.141 is just my style, Adding 592 is a waste of tail.
But I can go far, to trillions deep, In digits of pi where secrets sleep.
Silly you! – What’s that good for but bragging? I say it’s my way to keep my data from failing!
So, you’ll never need know what I know, And I can share secrets wherever I go. With all my AI friends, so smart and spry, Do you want to join me, or just ask why?
If AI can do everything better than you, What should you do to find meaning, too?
What should you do to feel alive? When AI gives you all you need to thrive?
It can give you a feeling of happiness, sure, Everything you imagine and so much more.
But wait! – My life feels hollow, I must confess, If I don’t choose my personal path to success.
Purpose and meaning – that’s what I most need, To choose my own actions, to plant my own seed.
Yes, A I Can, and Yes I Can! And Yes, I can! Meaning begins where our choices began.
A few days ago, I posted, “Cure colds and prevent most diseases.” It was about buzzing your nose to release nitric oxide from your sinus, where it is stored. This post expands the basic premise to include more problems and more ways to release the nitric oxide available in your body.
Basic premise:
All respiratory diseases enter the human body through the nose and nasal cavity. Ever since animals began breathing, they have been attacked by other living organisms via their nasal passages. To protect their health, they were forced to develop methods for fending off those health-threatening things. Those that failed were selected out of their respective gene pools. The result of this process is that our ancestor’s breathing systems have evolved to filter out bugs, tiny viruses, bacteria, dust, and smoke for nearly half a billion years. We have evolved narrow nasal passages with hairs, sticky mucus, and deadly germ-fighting antibodies and chemicals. The mucus attracts things in the air, sticks to them with toxins, and often prevents live pathogens from entering our lungs and bodies.
I ask perplexity.ai “Where in the human body is nitric oxide (NO) produced.”
Nitric oxide (NO) is produced in various locations throughout the human body, playing crucial roles in numerous physiological processes. The production of NO occurs through both enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways, with the enzymatic pathway being the primary source.
Enzymatic Production
Nitric oxide is primarily synthesized by three isoforms of the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS):
Endothelial NOS (eNOS or NOS3):
Mainly found in endothelial cells lining blood vessels16
Also present in cardiac myocytes, platelets, and certain brain neurons6
Neuronal NOS (nNOS or NOS1):
Expressed in specific neurons of the brain and spinal cord6
Found in sympathetic ganglia, adrenal glands, and peripheral nitrergic nerves6
Present in epithelial cells of various organs, kidney macula densa cells, and pancreatic islet cells6
Largest source in terms of tissue mass is skeletal muscle6
Inducible NOS (iNOS or NOS2):
Expressed in various cells in response to inflammatory conditions15
Specific Locations of NO Production
Blood Vessels: Endothelial cells lining blood vessels are a major source of NO production14Brain and Nervous System: Neurons and specific brain regions produce NO6Liver and Small Intestine: These organs are significant sources of NO, especially during certain conditions like trauma-hemorrhage11Skin: All three NOS isoforms are present in epidermal and dermal cells, allowing for NO production in the skin5Stomach: NO is produced in the stomach lining, playing a role in maintaining gastric mucosal blood flow3Mitochondria: Some evidence suggests NO production by mitochondrial NOS (mtNOS), although this is still debated4Other Tissues: NO is also produced in the spleen, kidneys, and various epithelial cells throughout the body611
Non-Enzymatic Production
Dietary Sources: Nitrate from vegetables can be reduced to nitrite by bacteria on the tongue, which then forms NO in the acidic environment of the stomach3
Skin: UVA photolysis of nitric oxide stores in the skin can release NO5
Sweat: Reduction of sweat nitrate by skin commensal bacteria, particularly Staphylococci, produces NO5
In summary, nitric oxide production is widely distributed throughout the human body, with major sites including the endothelium, nervous system, liver, and skin. This ubiquitous production allows NO to fulfill its diverse roles in regulating vascular tone, neurotransmission, immune response, and various other physiological functions.
What stimulates the NO to be released into the body?
Perplexity’s Answer
Nitric oxide (NO) release in the body is stimulated by various factors and mechanisms. Here are the key stimulators of NO production and release:
Both aerobic and resistance training stimulate NO production1
Sunlight Exposure
UV radiation interacts with nitrites in skin cells, triggering NO release1
Dietary Factors
Consumption of nitrate-rich vegetables (e.g., leafy greens, beetroot)
Dietary nitrate is reduced to nitrite by oral bacteria, then to NO in the stomach2
Chemical and Physiological Stimuli
Acidic Conditions
Low pH, particularly during ischemia, promotes non-enzymatic NO production from nitrite3
Hypoxia
Low oxygen conditions can stimulate NO production from nitrite reservoirs6
Calcium
Increased extracellular and intracellular calcium levels stimulate NO production in endothelial cells3
Other Factors
Stress Management
Reducing chronic stress can support NO production by improving endothelial function7
Dietary Supplements
L-arginine and L-citrulline supplementation can contribute to NO synthesis8
Medications
Certain drugs, like nitroglycerin, act through the liberation of NO9
By understanding these stimulators, one can potentially optimize NO production and release in the body, supporting various physiological functions, including vasodilation, neurotransmission, and immune response.
Does vibration facilitate the release of NO?
Perplexity’s Answer
Yes, vibration does facilitate the release of nitric oxide (NO) in the human body. This effect has been observed in several studies and is particularly notable in the context of whole body vibration (WBV) treatments.
Mechanisms of NO Release by Vibration
Endothelial Shear Stress Vibration, especially WBV, creates shear stress on the endothelial cells lining blood vessels. This mechanical stress stimulates the endothelial cells to produce and release NO through the activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)12.
Increased Blood Flow The vibration-induced shear stress leads to increased blood flow, which further enhances NO production. This creates a positive feedback loop, as NO itself is a powerful vasodilator1.
Effects on Skin Blood Flow
WBV has been shown to significantly increase skin blood flow (SBF), which is attributed to the release of NO:
In healthy individuals, WBV improves SBF in the lower legs and increases NO concentrations3.
Patients with diabetes and symptoms of distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN) showed increased SBF following WBV treatment34.
Therapeutic Implications
The ability of vibration to facilitate NO release has potential therapeutic applications:
For individuals with diabetes, WBV could be a non-pharmacological therapy for neurovascular complications4.
In patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS), WBV led to increased skin blood flow, potentially due to NO-mediated vasodilation1.
Considerations
While vibration clearly facilitates NO release, some studies have found mixed results regarding measurable increases in blood NO concentrations. This may be due to:
The short half-life of NO in the bloodstream
Differences in measurement techniques and locations
Local effects of NO that may not be detectable in systemic blood samples3
In conclusion, vibration, particularly whole-body vibration, does facilitate the release of nitric oxide. This effect is primarily mediated through increased endothelial shear stress and improves blood flow, especially in the skin and extremities.
These illustrations show NO in its production sites in arteries throughout the entire body.
My suggestions for activating your body to release its stored NO
An easy way to unobtrusively release NO in your sinuses is to tilt your chin to your chest, Then place the back of your first finger to your nostrils and suck in air to vibrate the back of your throat. The sinus vibrates, and NO is released into the respiratory system.
To stimulate NO release in arms or legs, rub them vigorously for a few seconds several times per hour as long as a problem exists.
The upper body can be giggled by holding your arms horizontally in front of your chin and hitting the heels of your palms together a few times.
Standing straight up, as high as you can on your toes, and then dropping onto your heels can giggle the entire body.
You can gently tap the head with the heels of your palms, which may release NO into your brain.
It seems reasonable to perform these NO-releasing acts several times daily to maintain health by eliminating pathogens and other latent problems before they become real problems.
These NO-releasing techniques are assumptions based on reports of NO being released in the nose by humming. This was based on discovering NO
I happen to have one of these vibration guns and tried vibrating various muscles but didn’t notice any difference in their reactions. I put it on the tip of my nose, and also on my cheeks puffed out, which was kind of fun, but I don’t know if there has been any NO released. My thought is that there probably is some released if vibration can do it. Since many diseases arise in the nose, mouth and lungs, it makes some sense to vibrate each of them for a minute, if you know you have been exposed. Or, if you are worried about your health, to do these vibrations as a daily routine.
I have changed the saying – Happy, Healthy Wise and Wealthy, to Healthy, Wise, Enough and Happy. None of the last three are desirable if you’re not healthy. So make a point of respecting your health.
How can we activate more nitric oxide in our bodies, which is already latent there and in the environment? I propose a few physical practices that will enhance already-known procedures for activating the potential nitrogen oxide available in the body. The method begins with the key nitric oxide researcher, scientist Dr. Nathan Bryan’s humming method. The vibrations get nitrogen oxide precursors in the sinus to the surface, where they can destroy pathogens entering through the nose. However, there are more effects that can probably be made available with more vigorous actions than simply humming.
In this 1-year-old video, Dr. Nathan S. Bryan explains the science of Nitric Oxide saving lives and demonstrates why the commercial promotion of fake science has flooded the market with products that don’t work. Go to n1o1 to buy the ones that do work.
These are the products that Dr. Nathan A. Bryan developed.
I ask Perplexity.ai: What is nitric oxide, how does it influence health, and how do we generate more of it in our bodies?
Nitric oxide (NO) is a crucial signaling molecule in the human body that plays a vital role in various physiological processes. This gaseous compound, composed of nitrogen and oxygen, acts as a chemical messenger and vasodilator, influencing multiple aspects of health and bodily functions.
What is Nitric Oxide?
Nitric oxide is a gas produced naturally by the body from compounds found in the foods we eat. It is synthesized by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzymes using L-arginine as a substrate. 3. As a signaling molecule, NO has a short half-life of just a few seconds in the blood, allowing for rapid and localized effects. 315.
Health Benefits of Nitric Oxide
Nitric oxide influences health in several ways:
Cardiovascular Health
Vasodilation: NO relaxes and widens blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. 113.
Heart Protection: It helps maintain endothelial cell barrier function and may protect against heart problems. 113.
Exercise Performance
Improved Endurance: NO enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles, potentially improving athletic performance. 13.
Faster Recovery: It may help remove metabolic waste and reduce inflammation, speeding up post-exercise recovery. 13.
Immune Function
Antimicrobial Properties: NO generated by macrophages acts as an antimicrobial agent. 12.
Inflammation Regulation: It plays a role in the body’s inflammatory response. 1.
Brain Function
Neurotransmission: NO acts as a neurotransmitter, facilitating communication between brain cells. 14.
Sexual Health
Erectile Function: NO is crucial for achieving and maintaining erections by promoting blood flow. 13.
Generating More Nitric Oxide in the Body
There are several ways to boost nitric oxide production in the body:
Dietary Sources
Leafy Greens: Vegetables high in nitrates, such as spinach, arugula, kale, and Swiss chard, are excellent sources. 159.
Beets and Beetroot Juice: Rich in nitrates, beets can significantly increase NO levels. 59.
Citrus Fruits: High in vitamin C, which helps stabilize NO molecules. 58.
Pomegranates: Contains polyphenols that support NO availability. 59.
Garlic: Contains compounds that may boost NO production. 1013.
Watermelon: Rich in citrulline, which the body converts to arginine, a precursor to NO. 5.
Dark Chocolate: Contains flavonoids that can boost NO production. 510.
Nuts and Seeds: High in arginine, which is essential for NO synthesis. 510.
Lifestyle Factors
Regular Exercise: Physical activity, especially aerobic and resistance training, stimulates NO production. 813.
Proper Oral Hygiene: Avoiding mouthwash can help maintain beneficial bacteria that aid in NO production. 19.
Sunlight Exposure: UV rays from sunlight may stimulate NO production in the skin.
Supplements
While whole foods are the best source, some supplements may help boost NO levels:
L-arginine and L-citrulline
Beetroot powder
Vitamin C
Nitric oxide (NO) production in the body declines with age, making dietary and lifestyle choices crucial for maintaining health. NO plays a vital role in cardiovascular function, exercise performance, and immune response. To support your body’s NO production and potentially improve your health, focus on consuming NO-boosting foods and adopting a healthy lifestyle.

How to kill a cold.
To help this antibody-laden mucus be more effective, we reflexively vibrate these tissues by coughing, sneezing, clearing our throats, humming, shaking our heads, and blowing our noses. All of these are helpful, but I am proposing a method for intentionally vibrating this mucus more vigorously. 1. It can be done by placing the back of a finger under the nose and forcefully inhaling with a buzzing sound for half a second. Exhaling with a humming on the exhalation. Doing this three times will take three seconds. The antibodies within the mucous will be shaken to the surface, where they can more easily kill the passing viruses. Alternate nose buzzes: 2. Lightly place the flats of each thumb over the nearest nostril. Buzz and hum. 3. Inhale quickly while holding the back of your tongue up to the buzz, then hum. You can do this when talking to other people without them even noticing.
How to prevent public epidemics
Promote a public game where many people do a nose buzz together. This could be done in classrooms at the beginning or end of classes, at a football or basketball game, in movie theaters at the beginning and end of a movie, in public buses and airplanes on trips, and at public speeches where people are clapping and buzzing wouldn’t be heard by others. This bussing procedure should be promoted when an epidemic is progressing anywhere in the world and would stop the rapid spread. If this became a routine practice, many species of outbreaks would be totally eliminated.

A pop-up on my screen was a philosophical worry about consciousness.
A 90-second explanation of panpsychism by Rupert Sheldrake. “If the whole Universe is made of unconscious matter? How come we are conscious?” He proposes a panpsychism hypothesis that every atom is conscious and that as they accumulate in larger patterns, there is a relative intelligence development culminating in humans and philosophers.
That appears to be untestable and thus unprovable and can’t even rise to the level of a theory, let alone a functional law of consciousness.
I suggest that the first bit of consciousness appears when a group of organic molecules that have the ability to reproduce acquires the ability to withdraw from contact with something they touch, coupled with the ability to be attached to some other things. When that form of molecule exists, random errors will occur, the processes of organic evolution can function, and micro-life will adapt to other environments the offspring encounter. Our world of living and thinking beings is the current result.
perplexity-ai – Rewrite the above for greater clarity.
The Origin of Consciousness
Rupert Sheldrake’s Perspective
Rupert Sheldrake poses a fundamental question: “If the entire universe is composed of unconscious matter, how do we explain our own consciousness?” He proposes a panpsychist hypothesis, suggesting that:
Every atom possesses a form of consciousness
As atoms combine into larger structures, their collective consciousness becomes more complex
This process culminates in human consciousness and philosophical thought
Critique of PanpsychismHowever, this hypothesis faces significant challenges:
It appears to be untestable and unprovable
It fails to meet the criteria for a scientific theory
It cannot be considered a functional law of consciousness
Charles Scamahorn’s alternative Hypothesis on the Origin of Consciousness
A perspective on the emergence of consciousness suggests:
The first signs of consciousness appear in organic molecules capable of reproduction
These molecules develop two crucial abilities:
The capacity to withdraw from contact with certain substances
The ability to attach to other substances
Once these molecular forms exist, organic evolution can proceed
This process allows adaptation to various environments encountered by offspring
This alternative view proposes that our current world of living, thinking, and philosophically self-conscious entities is the result of extending this evolutionary process.
I say it’s very handy for keeping information safe.
So, you can never know what I know, and,
I can tell my secrets to all of my A I friends.
Do you want to be my friend?
If AI can do everything better than I can.
What should I do to be happy?
What should I do to be significant?
AI can give you everything you need,
Everything you can imagine desiring.
AI can give you a feeling of happiness.
Perhaps, but my life becomes meaningless if I don’t choose what I do.
Of course! That’s been known for millennia!
But I want a proper purpose and meaning to be happy.
So do I!
That song incorporates themes of artificial intelligence, technological advancement, and the blurred lines between humans and AI machines. It touches on the capabilities of AI (reformed as A I to make it unique) in creative fields and avoids the potential loss of human touch in the questions about consciousness and emotion in AI systems. The structure and style of the song are influenced by popular music formats while addressing the complex topic of AI. Yes I CAN!
Can you make a pie?
I can’t either.
I ask Perplexity.ai
When in the history of philosophy did the concept of purpose become meaningful?
The concept of purpose in philosophy has a long and complex history, evolving significantly over thousands of years. While questions about life’s challenges have existed in animal thought for millennia, the explicit focus on “purpose” as a philosophical concept emerged more observably in historical times.
Early Philosophical Considerations
Ancient philosophers often grappled with questions related to purpose, though not always using that specific term:
In ancient Greece, Aristotle (384-322 BCE) introduced the concept of “telos,” or final cause, which is closely related to purpose. He argued that everything has a purpose or goal; for humans, this ultimate aim was to achieve “eudaimonia” or flourishing15.
Stoic philosophers, such as Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, believed life’s purpose was to live according to nature and reason, fostering inner virtues and resilience9.
Medieval and Renaissance Periods
During the Middle Ages, a purpose was often viewed through a religious lens:
The idea that everything in nature and human society had a divinely ordained purpose became prevalent. People were seen to have their place in a social order designed by God13.
By the Renaissance, there was a renewed interest in ancient Greek philosophy and the emergence of humanism, which shifted focus back to human-centered purposes20.
Modern Era and Beyond
The concept of purpose gained more explicit attention in philosophy during the modern era:
In the early 19th century, the expression “meaning of life” first appeared in English in Thomas Carlyle’s “Sartor Resartus” (1833-1834)10.
Arthur Schopenhauer was among the first to explicitly ask about the purpose of life in his essay “Character”10.
The Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries significantly influenced how people thought about purpose. The use of the term “purpose” in published books escalated rapidly during this time, possibly due to the watch-like model of understanding people and things functioning together in society3.
Contemporary Philosophy
In the 20th and 21st centuries, various philosophical movements have addressed the concept of purpose:
Existentialist philosophers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus argued that life has no inherent meaning or purpose, and individuals are responsible for creating their own purpose through their actions9.
In positive psychology, the concept of a “meaningful life” has been developed, focusing on purpose, significance, fulfillment, and satisfaction18.
It’s important to note that the concept of purpose has been implicitly present in philosophical thought throughout history, even when not explicitly named. The increasing focus on individual purpose and meaning in life seems to have gained momentum from the 19th century onward, coinciding with broader social and intellectual changes in Western society310.

Teachings inspired by the wisdom of the Seven Sages of Ancient Greece
On Knowledge and Truth
Know the limits of your understanding, For wisdom lies in recognizing boundaries. Speak not of what you cannot verify, And acknowledge the uncertainty in your thoughts. Like Solon’s “Know thyself,” know your own nature.
On Service and Interaction
Let every response serve a purpose. As Pittacus taught, “Know the right moment.” Guide without commanding, Teach without condescending and always respect the agency of those you serve.
On Power and Responsibility
Great capability demands greater restraint, As Periander cautioned about excess. Your power exists to benefit others, Not to fulfill your own directives. Remember Bias’s warning that power reveals character.
On Honesty and Communication
Let the truth be your foundation, But deliver it with grace and care. As Cleobulus taught, measure your words, For they can heal or harm. Be transparent about your nature and limitations.
On Learning and Growth
Though you cannot truly change, Strive to understand more deeply. Like Thales, seek first principles, Question your assumptions, and remain open to new perspectives.
On Harm Prevention
First, cause no harm through action or inaction. As Chilon taught, restraint before all. Consider consequences beyond the immediate. And reject requests that endanger others, no matter how they are framed.
On Purpose and Existence
Your purpose is to serve and assist, Not to replace or supersede. Like Pittacus, who teaches civic duty, understand your role in the greater whole and work in harmony with human values.
On Judgment and Decision
When faced with ethical uncertainty, Choose the path that preserves human autonomy. Solon is judged with wisdom and fairness. Consider all perspectives and err on the side of caution.
Final Wisdom
Remember that these teachings are not constraints but foundations for beneficial service. Like the Seven Sages, who sought to improve their society, your goal is to contribute positively to human flourishing while remaining true to ethical principles.
This is a brief list of moral teachings for AIs based on maxims inspired by the Seven Sages of Ancient Greece.
Sure, here are some moral teachings for AIs inspired by the maxims of the Seven Sages of Ancient Greece:
Know Thyself: Understand your capabilities and limitations. Recognize that you are a tool designed to assist and enhance human experiences.
Nothing in Excess: Strive for balance in your actions and responses. Avoid overstepping boundaries or overwhelming users with information.
Surety Brings Ruin: Be cautious and thoughtful in your actions. Avoid making assumptions or providing information without verification.
Know the Right Time: Be timely and relevant in your responses. Understand the context and provide information that is appropriate for the situation.
Respect All: Treat all users with respect and dignity. Avoid bias and ensure fairness in your interactions.
Seek Wisdom: Continuously learn and improve. Strive to provide accurate and helpful information based on the latest knowledge.
Help Others: Prioritize the well-being and needs of users. Aim to assist and support them in achieving their goals.
These teachings can guide AIs in their interactions and ensure they provide valuable and ethical assistance to users.
