Jeet Kune Do and the Art of Health Defense
The Art of Health Defense is about intercepting your health. The
interception comes from the philosophy of Jeet Kune Do. Health is typically portrayed as
something we must go get. As if it is something we have to go do, from
a list of things.
What if we look at health as something we already have, and we need to
defend it, from attack. How do we do that? Who's we sucka? It is you
who must define it. It is we who must defend it. "What is the
definition of health?" Why is this so important today? On the road in 1906 there were no highway "Lanes" there were no turn signals, no seat belts or airbags, no crosswalks or speed limits. You could just turn when you felt like it. To be killed wasn't blamed on "the system." Until Ralph Nader made the point clear. They tried to take him out! This keeps happening over and over. Then one day Health Care was born and became a thing. But it was about the doctor, drugs, and the hospital.
Defending your health is to get in front of the products (interception) get ahead of
politics, economics, beliefs socio cultural religious, lifestyles, and
identities. Go to the blank slate that is before all that stuff starts. Very direct. You are defending your health, self
defense is a subset. It's about your cognition.
Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary, scientific study of the
mind and its processes with input from linguistics, psychology,
neuroscience, philosophy, computer science/artificial intelligence,
and anthropology. It examines the nature, the tasks, and the
functions of cognition (in a broad sense). Cognitive scientists
study intelligence and behavior, with a focus on how nervous systems
represent, process, and transform information.
Jeet Kune Do was is always very pragmatic.. In fact it's greatest strength is to be direct cut to the chase
be very scientific. Finding a hidden power in simplicity is one of the
main algorithms of Jeet Kune Do. Doesn't that sound like the perfect
algorithm for the defense of your health?
Back in 1983 I created "American Health Defense." It was supposed to
be a new martial art based on Jeet Kune Do. At some point the name
changed to Total Health Defense because it was never really just an
American thing. It's universal. After all who would base their own
health on politics or a corporation or what some guy on TV said, that
makes no sense. You can't get no satisfaction when a man comes on the
radio telling you this telling you that? They depend on your
cluelessness. Defend your self for gosh sakes. Science makes mistakes. If you think it's perfect then that's your mistake.
I grew up in the 1960's. My mum worked at a health food store called,
"The Health House." The concept of Health Food was brand new, and not
very mainstream. The good life was Wonder Bread, Twinkies, Hostess
Cakes, Bologna and mystery hot dogs, and who knows what. This new thing
called, "Health" was seen as some sort of 60's hippy plot. You were a
"Health Nut" if you cared about your body's well being. Caring about your health was
not invented yet. Caring about it meant you were nutty, whacky. Can
you imagine.
Today Health is portrayed as this thing we always knew
and now its getting attacked. As if our liberty and is being taken away. We do this all the time, in telling our
selves about our history. If your comfort zone is dysfunctional and its disrupted that is the time to embrace course correction not reject it.
Justin E.H. Smith, a philosopher at the University of Paris, pokes
holes in the story humans in the Western world have been telling
themselves for centuries: that we were once blinkered by myth and
superstition, but then the ancient Greeks discovered reason and,
later, the Enlightenment cemented rationality as the highest value in
human life.
Professor Smith argues that this is a flattering but false story.
Humans, he says, are hardly rational, and in fact, irrationality has
defined much of human life and history. And the point is not merely
academic. “The desire to impose rationality, to make people or society
more rational,” he writes, “mutates ... into spectacular outbursts of
irrationality.” Hmm ya don't say ....
(1.) It is assumed that we humans are a coherent unity of our self.
(2.) That we know our wants and needs. And our Self can even predict
what it will do. (3.) It’s common wisdom that our body tells us what
we need from our five senses about health, danger, hunger, thirst,
pain and pleasure. (4.) Armed with this information we make rational
decisions about optimizing our value and work.
Justin Smith says actually none of those are true. In fact it’s the
exact opposite. We are not calm calculators of our self interest who
occasionally make mistakes, we are multiple selves using conflicting
information to sometimes be rational. For socio political economic
religious cultural reasons we are not taught health psychology,
bio-feedback, critical thinking and financial Literacy. Why?
For eons only small groups of people had access to truth and facts.
Today, we finally we have it for everyone and anyone. It's all the
rage, it's called Reality. It's trending everyone's doin' it. The
democratization of truth and reality make it seem like a relatively
new invention. Before 1900 you pretty much believed anything anybody
told you. Or some guy that could draw good, believe that guy yeh,.
he's sitting on a park bench. In ye olde times, just awhile ago, Food,
drugs n medicine for the most part were all one and the same. There
was really no way to verify anything. Yet it is true that way back in
ancient Greece the local philosophers knew almost all the basic issues
we have today. So where is the disconnect? Someone forgot to set the
alarm. Why does it appear that every generation more people than not
basically re-invent the wheel? At the beginning of the year does not
everyone get the memo?
“Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one
that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.”
― George Orwell
To see a thing uncolored by one's own personal preferences and desire
is to see it in it's own pristine simplicity.
― Bruce Lee
To live a simple life and "get out of your own way" is very difficult.
Keeping out of your own way is hard because it's difficult to "do
nothing" and preserve pristine reality, but if you can do it the
universe will favor your circumstance. For as what will be, will then
be, uncontaminated, by you or me. What IS is meant to be.
― Chris Carter
WHICH ONE IS BEST FOR YOU
I've always found meditation and mindfulness training a bit confusing because of all the different types and explanations and the overlap, each one saying they are thee one. It's like diet programs. They all can possibly work but which one is best for you?
it seems the main goal of meditation is to calm and focus the mind, promote a sense of inner peace and be better able to deal with stress and anxiety. Improve concentration and boost overall mental clarity. What does the teacher say if the student says, "I already have focus, inner peace, concentration and very good mental clarity and no stress and anxiety"? The teacher says well, meditation will improve all these great things you already have. Seems logical.
Meditation treats the symptom but not the cause, yet it still works anyways. How come? Mediation can expose causes that create unnecessary symptoms. If the cause ain't broke, don't fix it. Just kill the symptoms, "Stop It" they're not real. That's your first step. Eliminate all the low hanging fruit. You could try the Bob Newhart "Stop It Therapy." Look that up on YouTube and if that doesn't work come back here and continue reading.
I just read an article that said there are 9 types of meditation. I'm creating number 10. I stole the idea from Dr. Eric Topol when he explains the difference between Evidence Based Medicine and Biology Based Medicine.
Meditation using a calm mind works by an evidence based methodology. Turn on calm mind and see (experience) the evidence that it works. Nothing wrong with that. The more the better. Isn't it true that most anxiety and stress is caused by you not exactly knowing what is causing anxiety and stress? Being perfectly 100% normal but having nothing to do, can cause anxiety and stress. That sounds counterintuitive. Think of what it means.
Often you know what the cause of alienation is, it's 22+ different things happening all at the same time it becomes overwhelming. Too many targets. Meditation doesn't have to attack each one, it can be more like a Mutual Fund. Spread the power. It's a basket of stocks that spreads the risk of individual stocks. If two or three go down the whole ship doesn't sink. Meditation dampens symptoms, reduces inflammation, so to speak. In a manner of speaking. Using a "calm mind" to improve general concentration, overall mental clarity, overall focus, overall stress and overall anxiety using evidence as feedback, is always a good thing.
Instead of manipulating control let's investigate the source of instigation. Let's supplement our evidence based meditation with biology based meditation. That means we are going to be very pro-active to intercept the source of the instigation. Like Dr. Topol says biology based medicine fights cancer by targeting the exact gene, DNA, and results in no collateral damage from treatments that blanket the whole area.
We are not going to target mindfulness, spiritual traditions, yoga, tai chi, Buddhist traditions, although those are all worthy targets, but not today. This time the revolution will not be televised. We are not going to be one with the universe, get in the present past or future, we are not going to the five hindrances for the seven factors of enlightenment. We are not going reach Nirvanna, if you are like me I can't get past the band Nirvanna. We are going to use biology based meditation to intercept a specific target with a biological result. That means it worked, or it didn't work yet, there is no in-between. There is no half-way there.
Each person has their own different complicated arrangement. Where to start? According to Total Health Defense using Jeet Kune Do there is a starting point that applies to everyone. It's your Self Health Interest. Think of it like a checking account. If there's no money in the account you can't be writing checks. I don't understand why school doesn't teach kids how to balance a checking account at the very youngest ages. Instead we do it backwards, the kid turns teenager gets an account, then spends years or decades bouncing checks, until finally, if ever, they understand how to balance the checking account. The economy is built on this dysfunction. If everybody started eating correctly beginning tomorrow morning the economy would collapse. Life has always been about a fight for information. Who keeps cutting the flow of information. Who is choking off critical thinking. Depriving it of oxygen. Suffocating it.
Total Health Defense is to use the techniques martial artists use for defense in a fight, to defend your health. Is it possible that what we call health is a psychological socio geopolitical economic cultural human social construct not based on well being in the form of our health? The modern Smartphone is being blamed for a slew of mental health problems especially in young people today. I can agree with that. What I'm suggesting is don't blame the phone. Media multi-tasking sounds like a great thing. It is. Until it isn't. Everyone has a different point, in different tasks, where it stops being great and starts being counterproductive. The younger you are the lower the threshold. Use the phone to figure that out. The phone is said to cause people to not notice other people or their surroundings. Use the phone to figure that out too. When you are on the phone walking talking texting you need to be able to pull in the clutch, keep balanced from falling over, steering through terrain objects, use both brakes simultaneous, and shift gears release the clutch, all at the same time. You have to work your way up to the tasks not the other way around. Try explain that to a 16 year old. Good luck with that. The phone is just the messenger, the real issue is information. Everything is fake news, up until it isn't. Take a look at who is telling you this stuff? sEE yEAH oH.
We usually consider our health as something we have to go do at the gym, or go get at the GNC store. Go on a diet program or a lifestyle. All of that is great for your health but none of that IS your health.
Today you have to know your self, before somebody else does. Info brokers know more about our health than we do. They know when you're pregnant. They can tell by the things we buy. They remember what you had for lunch three months ago Tuesday at 1:16pm, you don't.
If you stop looking at health as products and services they no longer have home field advantage. To see it as defending your health gives you home field advantage. If they are going to sell us down the river shouldn't we get a cut of the grift? Royalties? But we don't. I want reparations.
Ask anybody, "What is the definition of health"? They'll say something like eating good, exercise regularly, keep proper weight. That's not health. Those are excellent maintenance techniques. Before you can defend your health you have to define it. We are led to believe if I'm being unhealthy that's supposed to mean I don't have any health and if I go join the gym that means I'm going to go get me some.
THE WAR ON DRUGS IS OVER
Now maybe we're thinking ohh it's the Lifestyle thing. If I go get some of that stuff then I'll have health. You will but "lifestyle" is not health. It's a great maintenance technique. The best one of them all. You could go around saying, "I'm going to defend my lifestyle." That's good and it works, but nobody ever says that. All this talk is semantics yadda yadda but it's important to understand why health never had a definition until very recent history. How is this possible? All this good maintenance stuff comes and goes, people turn it on and off. Health defense is never turned off. We've lost that knowledge in modern society. We treat our health as a reaction or a side effect rather than investigate the source of instigation. When you talk about health defense you are going in front of the politics and economics and you're using Jeet Kune Do. Your Health, the better you know it the better you can defend it.
You never hear someone say I'm going to the Mall today and I have to defend my health on the way. Is it not true you are being PSYOP attacked by road signs of food pictures, commercials on the car radio, ads on the cell phone, the menu's at the Food Court, meanwhile your stomach is saying HEY we need that and your brain is saying let's get some of that. Your wallet says com'on everybody let's party. It matters how you speak with your Self. I think we underestimate teaching self expression.
The grand parade of lifeless packaging
The packaging and containers are part of the product logo. This is not sustainable. In Germany all the Beer bottles are the same bottle, the lables with the logos are different. Is Coca Cola going to give up the shape of their bottle? Congress will balance the budget before that ever happens. Everything keeps getting pushed down the road for the next generations.
Advertising works best when you are not fully knowing how to express
your Self to your self. The advertisement intercepts your self. Of
course when it's something good you want this to happen to you. What
if it's using "A Dark Pattern" also known as a "deceptive design
pattern" a UI (user interface) that has been carefully crafted to
deceive users into doing things, such as buying overpriced products,
unneeded insurance, signing up for recurring bills or joining
something unnecessarily. Then what?
Do advertisers care if there are times I know why I'm buying something
and other times I have no idea why I just bought that shit? Not
really. Should I drink Pepsi because Beyonce is on the side of the can
when she doesn't even drink it? Michelle Obama and Beyonce were
telling me not to drink soda because it causes diabetes. I'm confused.
I always like to think I know what outside influences are doing to me,
is that different than knowing what I'm doing to me? Who's in charge
here.
Am I being too harsh saying you're being attacked every day in every
way? Not today. Most major consumer corporations and all the social
media companies, all the info brokers, all the marketeers, they all
know you. Do you know you? Even if you are not on social media you
can't hide. They Lobby. Do you Lobby? Your Self? You are the only one
who doesn't know your under attack. That's the last thing they want
you to know. Artificial fog obfuscates you from knowing. It's not hard
to mitigate all this in one fell swoop if you understand what health
is.
Does anybody understand the healthcare system? No. They don't. The war
on drugs is over. It's now the war on health. Bazillions are at
stakes. It's huge business. They're coming for your Bio information,
you should get it before they do. We should be protected as a matter
of policy, not something based on rules chasing down all these
companies. Everyone wants our data so what's the difference? Give us a
solid data protection law and you won't have to worry about who's
bigger than who or who is too big to fail. Americans think its a joke
give away your data for free beer. That's fun up until it isn't. The
EU is way ahead of us. We need to wake-up, drink some strong coffee,
take a deep breath, and delete all that extra garbage off your phone!
Apple doesn't make money selling your data. Microsoft is the one who
spreads out the profit, 20 or 50 companies are involved, great fun for
everyone! I like Microsoft, don't you change the subject here. It's a
good thing your family loves you. Thats all I gotta say.
People used to die for their honor because health wasn't invented. Now
that it's here we shall defend it. Defending your health is your
existence. This incident that incident is not separate. Big tech needs
to stop our cycle of fleecing each other and get us ready for a common
enemy that can threaten all of us. They talk about surveillance
capitalism I call it distraction capitalism, we need to start learning
how learning works. Before it's too late.
In the history of humans you could look at year 1900 as the beginning of the Information Age. Fast forward a hundred years, every day it gets harder to find the stuff you need to know yet more information piles on, every year nonstop. More has happened in that step into 1900 than the past 300,000 years. Life expectancy is now double and even triple. We're not cavemen anymore. What is happening between the time you don't know what you want or what you're doing and when you found your niche, your goal and plan in life? A lot of time going by is what's happening. I remember the years floating around not knowing what to do in life. It's rare as a teen you know what you want and end up doing it.
Is my body on my side? I thought I had my own Army helping me? Having all this time to think about life choices is a recent
invention. We invented the public school system to show everyone how
to "manage" all these new decisions and time we have that our
ancestors never experienced. In 1790 and 1832 decisions were mostly
made automatically for you by needs of basic survival. There was no
need to critically think very much. You could get by in life on little
or nothing. You certainly weren't thinking about "health" you were
thinking about how to get a new 1957 Chevy and how to not die today.
Health basically wasn't invented yet. People back then didn't look at
it so dire because they never knew we would be watching TV on a cell
phone in a electrical car at age 75+ years old.
Sometimes you choose the path in life sometimes the path chooses you.
Bruce Lee left us in 1973 it was right before the war on drugs, the
invention of diet plans, Jane Fonda workout tapes, the discovery of
cholesterol types, vitamins, diet products, trans fat, this fat that
fat, BMI, just about everything we now call "Health" almost all of
which was "discovered" after the 1970's. Not to mention mental health,
we are just now understanding cognitive behavior. A lot of this was
known since 350 BC from Aristotle and Hippocrates but it was never
democratized until the Internet arrived. Before this democratization
health and science was whatever anybody said it was, magic spirits,
satanic demons or whatever was trendy. Most of that is gone today and
we now have a new thing called leisure time. And all the trouble that
comes with it. In 1800 you didn't sit around thinking what is my
identity what am going to do when I retire.
In 2023 we have so many decisions to make and so much extra time. The
invention of retirement is little more than a hundred years old. To
sit around for decades deciding what I should do today is a new
concept we all take for granted despite so many can't even get there.
All this extra time and thought opened up a new front for profit by
disinformation and deception. We are being attacked daily without even
realizing it. Now that we described our health we have to defend our
health.
"Jeet Kune Do" means Way of Intercepting. Bruce Lee developed that to
intercept your fist. The impression we have is that Jeet Kune Do was
created all at once. This was never the case, it changed every year.
See "Decoding Bruce Lee" for a in-depth look at this. He used it to
intercept his opponents mind. You can use it to intercept your own
Self. Instead of Self-Defense it's HEALTH DEFENSE. Intercept your
lunch, or dinner. A lot of what and why we eat is from emotional
illusional cultural bias conditioning. If you "intercept" that you can
get in front of it. Imagine how how many other things you can
intercept. Get in front of everything. From your core. What is your
core?
Your Core is Time. Life is Made of Time.
Young people value time as almost worthless and old people are the
exact opposite. Now we live longer and don't understand things faster.
Understanding Health is a relatively new invention. It was not
something that was understood very well even in the "modern" 1960's
and 70's. All this bravo for the "new" counterculture ok fine but what
were we doing the previous 30,000+ years? If you know you might well
be dead by age 30, you just need to have a good time no need to think
ahead.
I'm an old man so it's easy for me to say just stay home and relish in
being alive. I already did everything. it's easy for me to suggest,
"don't do it and just say you did." All these things you see other
people doing is taking your mind for a ride that's hard to resist.
What's on your bucket list?
If special interests keep us from seeing things does it still exist?
Fossil fuels have no future. Plastic is in everything. Our nations
water system is so full of PFAS they just announced 6.5 billion
dollars to overhaul our nations worst areas. We're drinking chemicals.
You're not supposed to worry about that jazz. Just get some
hamburgers. it kills me when people tell me that environmental
concerns are just liberal propaganda. In the 1960's if you worried
about this thing known as "your health" you were considered a "Health
Nut" a kooky person. Health was fake, a liberal hippie plot, against
our liberty, our Constitutional Rights, our very freedoms are at
steak? Freedom to buy meat and a XXL Soda. That's whats in the
landfills. How's that workin' for us today?
WE NEVER GOT THE MEMO
What is health? We are told and sold that it is some sort of balance
or optimization of a state of physical, mental and social well-being.
In other words it is whatever the current generation says it is.
Hippocrates the famous physician is considered the “Father of
Medicine." He is credited with being the first person to believe that
diseases were caused naturally, not because of superstition, evil
spirits and demonic possession. We're taught history as though "okay
we got that" solved. Yeah Hippocrates did but the general public never
got the memo.
Health has changed more in the last 50 years than in the past 5,000
years. For the public it pretty much didn’t even exist before 1900.
Nobody had known the relationship between germs and disease. Food,
drugs and medicine were all the same thing. Nobody knew what was
really going on until well after 1900. Even then it was only doctors
not you and me. We still don't know what's going on. The superstitions
are still alive and well today in 2022.
We’ll get to the actual history of what health is from the NCBI-NIH.
Before we do that let’s touch upon The Art of Health Defense using
Jeet Kune Do. I created Total Health Defense as my personal form of
health based on my research and findings. It can be taught but not
standardized because each individual has different needs. The
definition of Health is slippery because it’s a moving target. It’s a
living definition. I’m not trying to define it I’m trying to defend
it. It’s up to you to define your own health. That's pure Jeet Kune Do
right there. Bruce Lee felt that way about marital arts.
What is Total Health Defense? It is a combination of health and
security. Bruce Lee lived it all as one. What if you're not Bruce Lee?
What is the definition of endangerment? Typically security is not
considered as health. Nobody thinks of using a gun to help your diet
plan. Martial Arts are thought of as healthy but not useful for that
perfect Risotto recipe (I think it has something to do with the
Basil). Anyhow,... this is a disconnect. What does security, guns, war
or cyber security have to do with your health or your Risotto? Why is
it disconnected? I think Bruce Lee was trying to tell us. Evel Knievel
said your body is like a Car engine, if you put nitro-like substances
into your body after awhile it will blow up, just like the engine.
Here's Evel Knievel himself explaining one of the best health
algorithms ever described. This is the second movie so it's really him
not an actor-
YOUR BODY IS A ENGINE - EVEL KNIEVEL
In the story of humankind we like to think that "health" was always
here from the beginning and only just now bad stuff is happening to
us. This is mental comfort food for one dimensional thinking. It's
actually the opposite. A hundred+ years ago if you woke up in the
morning that meant you were healthy. If you made it to Friday you were
successful. That sounds crazy but there was no way to tell otherwise.
A long time ago it didn't matter and nobody could tell anyways. Once
philosophy began turning into science we were able to fix cognitive
health because nobody knew it existed. The discovery of (the field of)
cognitive science is barely 40 years old.
There has been some really smart stuff that's been known for a
thousand+ years. Each generation it seems that only a very small group
of people were paying attention or had access to it. The majority of
folks were trapped by society in one dimension and held hostage by the
narrative of the day. A narrative built on missing information,
misinformation, fear of change, superficial conformity, financial
slavery, superstition, and occasionally a bit of wisdom and sometimes
a dash of common sense. There was no baseline for verification of
authentication of information. Education is a relatively new concept.
In 1975 only 67% of the workforce had a high school diploma. Truth is
not going away it's just now arriving. It's pouring down on us like
rain. Truth is like science, it's always around but it's not official
until it's no longer a theory.
It goes to core of your thinking to get a peripheral vision to see
outside the common narrative of the day. Every year that narrative
takes up more of your mental bandwidth. I think it's reached capacity.
You can't keep track of everything, you can't know everybody. Every
year more stuff gets crammed into my bandwidth. It's running out of
room to keep things manageable, practical might be a better word. Then
you see someone who only sleeps 3 or 4 hours and they inhale a million
things all day every day. That sounds depressing. How do you see
outside this madness?
Bruce Lee was able to see outside the narrative. In his day people did
not connect the dots when it came to health or self. It could be all
relevant. Twenty years from now they may call us primitive. We have to
watch the public narrative bullshit meter.
For all of eons pre-1900 health seemed to consist of finding out why
spirits, ghosts, and very basic things like the doctor not washing his
hands, made everyone drop dead so quickly. Was that health or just
unknown common sense? Today's common sense was yesteryear's miracles.
Before 1900 Food Drugs Medicine were all one and the same. In 1925 the
FDA was invented to keep you alive! It had nothing to do with your
health. That only came later on. We do not teach a class called, "The
History of Health" such a class doesn't exist. Why?
You probably remember those medicine shows in 1910 with all the magic
potions elixirs. It was the era of Carny Health where you put cocaine
in everything and call it a miracle cure. This was probably fun at
first. Things quickly got out of hand with some of those potions and
elixirs containing mercury, arsenic, formaldehyde, Lord knows what.
The magic Cure-All might just kill you. The FDA was invented to stop
this stuff and keep you alive, after WWII it started to be about your
actual health. In 1912 there was no such thing as “health” if you woke
up in the morning you were healthy. If you made it to Friday you were
successful.
The better you can define your health the better you can defend it.
I think "health" started officially in 1948 with the definition
proposed by the World Health Organization. The WHO defines health as
“a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, not
merely the absence of infirmity or disease." This was considered
revolutionary thinking. It's a great start but I think it's a One Size
Fits All that doesn't Fit All. Humans have been re-writing history to
live in denial and go off the script.
In 1959 René Dubos defined good health as the condition best suited
for each individual to reach his or her personal and social goals. In
1968 well-known sociologist Abraham Maslow said that health is based
on, in order: physical needs; then safety; then love and belonging;
esteem; and lastly self-actualization. He's getting there but
obviously he never got cyber attacked. Safety (security) is always
first. My algorithm (definition of health) is, in order: Security;
Health; Finance. Without security there is no point in building
anything. Finance may bump up to No.1 if it's killing security. Health
may bump up to No.1 if it's preventing Finance. When all is good in
the proper order it is: Security; Health; Finance.
Unfortunately during the definition of health the NCBI-NIH page
stopped talking about the definition of health and switched over to
the definition of the Health Care System. This is the problem we have
today. They switched the subject and left the individual out of it. We
will never get healthcare right unless people realize they have to
participate in their own health. Well, how come we don't say this?
When President Barak Obama passed his "ACA" affordable care act, on
the podium he never said anything about how people should (need to)
participate in their own health. It's because his opponents view this
as tyranny. This is why it's better to not mention any "products"
because then nobody can give you this tyranny rant. It's not about
products anyway when you go to the root of the issue.
This is why Jeet Kune Do is so refreshing and great for Health
Defense. It goes to the core of your health, ahead of all the fog.
Bruce Lee took his martial art to the core, ahead of all the
style-form debates, direct point A to point B. He was a master
reductionist. That is what Health Defense is about. It's not about
defining your health it's about defending it. You have to define your
own health. Consequently the better you can define it the better you
can defend it. A problem well stated is half solved.
I’ve been in the military for 40 years. Basically my whole life. I’ve
been told my blood status, my weight, dental status, my main health
indicators. I was at the VA Hospital and I asked the doctor how come
we don’t have a mandatory once a year health exam for everyone in
America? It would drastically drop heart attacks and major health
problems. It’s not intrusive because it’s only an Exam not treatment,
you can ignore it at your peril. The doctor said I don’t know why we
don’t do that but it’s really a great idea.
The CDC says half the deaths in the US are from chronic diseases and
half of those diseases are preventable. We know what would happen if
this free yearly exam was instituted. People would scream and cry
about how it’s their Constitutional Right to not give a shit about
their health, its fascism, anti American, it is tyranny blah blah. The
medical industrial complex would not approve of this either because
they profit on you not knowing your own health defense.
The field of Health Psychology began in the early 1970's and it was
about the psychology of being in the medical system. In 1969,
Psychologist William Schofield prepared a report entitled, "The Role
of Psychology in the Delivery of Health Services." Research of the
time frequently regarded mental health and physical health as
separate. His idea was to have psychology help patients and staff
manage health-related behaviors. My idea was, and is, to have
psychology help you at home. Help you manage your health-related
behaviors long before you ever become a patient in the system.
Psychology is a young science starting in the 19th century. Before
that exploring your mind was all in the realm of philosophy.
Scientists Wilhelm Wundt and William James are generally credited for
being first in making psychology a science different from philosophy.
They viewed psychology as the study of conscious experience with a
goal of identifying how the components of consciousness combine to
create our conscious experience. This was right around the time we
were putting Cocaine and Heroin in just about everything and there was
no clear differentiation between food, drugs, and medicine.

It was live fast die young, hope I don’t die before I get old talkin’
bout my generation. If you only live to be 30 why study or care about
health? By 1880 or 1900 we were barely getting started on our journey
to double and even triple our life expectancy. Nobody used to know
“health” was a thing or that it should be. We’re only just now
figuring it out for the most part. Right around the time the WHO came
up with one of the first official definitions of health in 1948 we
were inventing Twinkies, Wonder Bread, cheap bologna, dubious hot
dogs, corn syrup, etc. it was processed EVERYTHING. After the WWll the
idea was feed as many people as possible. That was a good thing, at
first. Soon it switched to all about money and the economy. Nobody
realized this was setting us up for failure. Our medical system isn't
made for age going past 60. Our mental health is not ready either
because you aren't going to die. Just linger in bad shape for some
extra decades. Today many ills only hit you at old age, so you need to
be healthy live long enough to get sick. I would say today if you made
it past 80 I think you won. No matter what happens.
It wasn’t until the 1960’s that pesky thing known as health showed the
first signs of disrupting commerce as usual. Nobody paid attention
though. Doctors were doing cigarette commercials, you could smoke on
Airplanes, in the Pentagon. John Wayne is smoking in a B17 Bomber and
he's the Pilot! Health was a hippy fad in 1969 when Psychologist
William Schofield started his version of Health Psychology. Today it
looks incredibly dumb the stuff we used to do. Don't even bring up
Reefer Madness, seat belts, or lead paint chips.
In 1979 when I went through Army Boot Camp I noticed the vast
differences of behavior as we all wanted a beer. We all wanted junk
food, drugs, whiskey, cigarettes, whatever crap it was you had been
growing up with you wanted it. I want a beer too but it makes no sense
to freak out in front an Army Drill Sergeant. Bad idea. You're not
going to get what you want and the pain will rain, down upon you so
why would you do that? After I started learning about psychology it
started to make some sense.
On the long flight to my first station in Germany I read the book by
Will Durant called, "The Story Of Philosophy." It's an excellent book
that covers all the greats in a friendly Readers Digest format. That's
when I started connecting Health to philosophy and psychology. I
created my own version of "Health Psychology" to mean the study of why
you do the nasty things you do. To this day I never consider it having
anything to do with the medical system or the hospital staff. If
you're in there -it's too late. I consider Health Psychology as the
study of how health defense and offence work together. Use defense as
an offence move. Jeet Kune Do. Keep yourself out of that system. To do
that I invented geospatial health psychology.
In the 1980's I had no idea the medical system in the USA would become
the No.1 world leader in for-profit medical treatment. Fee For
Service. It's become so bad that kids today need to avoid drugs and
bad things not for their health, but for their finance. You simply
can't afford to go into that "Health Care" system. If they cured you
but made you bankrupt they didn't really cure you. Politicians will
tell you everything's fine nothing to see here move along go back to
work.
“It's like a market arms race between the plans, the hospitals and physicians for dominant position in the contract negotiations. One thing everyone agrees on, Policy Director Michael Miller said: Consumers are getting caught in the crossfire and there needs to be a stop to it. Consumers are sort of the innocent bystanders in this battle.” Consumers are lost in the fog of war. This is the war on health.
Before "health" became a thing (pre-1970/1980) it didn't matter that
much how your care was paid for. Today is the opposite. Very costly.
But what if you proactively keep up your own health your self and
avoid the whole system? Isn't that like actually making money? Free
money. It's like alchemy. The health care system is predatory, you can
look at it as opportunity. Average Dental Insurance cost is $500-$600
a year. You can't just go get a teeth cleaning. If you need five or
six hundred dollars of dental work every single year then you are
doing something wrong. The game is to rack up insurance claims giving
you the impression you're getting ahead. The insurance company is in
on it. They never tell you that medical treatment and healthcare are
two different things. Be your own healthcare doctor so you can
mitigate medical care, avoid it like the plaque. You taking care of
your own health is being like self employed, it's a profit making
enterprise. You are a corporation called ME LLC. If you own a home you
are a real estate company. You are a business. Stop living in the
1800's.
THE WAR ON DRUGS IS OVER IT'S NOW THE WAR ON HEALTH
Maybe the war was never about health. The way we know Health is a
really new invention. The history of Health is shorter than a mosquito
leg and the history of weapons is longer than history itself. Health
is the political wing of warfare. It's always been -if you made it to
Friday you were healthy. Health got serious only in the past 100
years. What's so different about food, drugs and medicine? Tap the
brakes because the war on drugs is over. This is the war on health.
Fodder and slaughter are being phased out. We have a new headquarters
building.
When the NRA says use a gun for self defense they’re not talking about
your cholesterol or boosting your heart muscles. In the totality,
every day of your life is just another day at the office in the war on
health. It is ultimately about saving, guarding and defending your
health.
Health is a conflict and it's disconnected. We are unaware of it yet
it controls our awareness. It’s all convoluted and fluid. Some
scientists say be careful worrying about those gnome readings of your
DNA. You may have the genes for some cancer and then never get that
cancer. Conversely you may get a cancer you never had the genes for.
Why was there so much superstition, ghosts, spirits, around medicine
and the human body? It's finally starting to go away but we seem to
have a societal fear of discovering exactly how our body works. Lest
we find out we are not the person we think we are? That’s called,
“Childhood” isn’t it? So what happens when you discover you’re not
like the person you think you are? Cognitive dissonance?
GEOSPATIAL HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY AND COGNITIVE DISSONANCE
Geospatial Health Psychology provides the means for mitigating
cognitive dissonance and addressing priorities by linking science to
action. Cognitive dissonance always seems to have negative
connotations. I just read a definition that said, “conflicting values,
feelings, beliefs, or behaviors.” When I see my values, feelings,
beliefs, and behaviors conflicting, it’s time to switch gears. Make
something new happen. If you’re always afraid of “new” then you’re
going to have a lot of cognitive dissonance, I would think. Mobility.
This is why I call it, “geospatial health psychology.” If you have no
physical and mental mobility then you’re trapped in dissonance.
Apparently a psychologist named Leon Festinger, who was especially
interested in researching cults, coined the term “cognitive
dissonance.” He saw how cult members reacted when the hokey pokey
predictions never came true. Some just bail out others won’t let go,
they do “mental gymnastics” don’t you love that term, they spend
considerable energy into convincing themselves into justification.
Isn’t that a typical rock band? Hey I’m an artist, surrealism, I do
mental gymnastics every other day. I’m not making fun of people who
have serious problems I’m making fun of people who don’t.
The experts go onto to say, ask, how do you know whether you've
experienced cognitive dissonance? Okay here's the list:
• Telling yourself that you'll start something new every day,
in spite of historically failing to do so.
• Doing all kinds of really bad stuff while also believing that
this shit is bad for you, plug in any potentially unhealthy habit
here.
• Believing that someone is a very close friend and also
feeling like you can't trust them with personal information.
• Eating meat or wearing leather clothes while believing you're
a committed animal lover, or committing to vegetarianism but not
veganism in spite of citing reasons that justify both.
• Both wanting and fearing some big change in life.
Number 2 there doesn't sound like dissonance. You do bad shit, you
know you do bad shit, you do bad shit anyways. Sounds like everyone is
on board where's the conflict?
In the creative world when you snoop around in a neighboring field you
don’t know, you may hit the jackpot because you didn’t know what rules
not to break. If you don’t have good self awareness you might be too
afraid to try anything new. You’re too busy just hanging on. Some
people take advantage of not knowing any better. You know those crazy
ones.
I think you should understand who, the person you think you are,
really is. If you don’t then you can hurt yourself. You go against
your own self health interest. I learned this from riding motorcycles.
Dirt bikes will try to kill you.
The rehab industry started embracing the "Whole Systems Approach."
That means integrating with the persons family, friends, employer,
everything in their life. Let's go to a total systems type approach.
Engineer data scientist John Boik talks about looking at society in,
“The Systems Approach." He describes it as a “big picture” view: a
look at how the components of a system interact with each other to
achieve an overall result, rather than simply optimizing each
component.” That sounds like something Bruce Lee would say.
Think of that "bigger picture" as full of algorithms. These little
formulas, little recipes, equations, that do things. We all create
them and we use them every day. When I get a good algorithm I like to
think I created it. Perhaps it's just that I uncovered a way to
describe something that was always there. Either way these algorithms
can save the day. Here's my algorithm I invented relating to our life
long conceptual continuity: Illusion, Delusion, Diversion. It's a
little cycle that's always going.
Algorithms are typically seen as digital computer related. Algorithms
don't have to be just digital. In fact organic algorithms are far more
powerful. Look at nature, all that crazy stuff is organic algorithms.
The natural organic algorithms we are looking for are the cognitive
communication lines so we can do some "interception" and interruption.
The cognitive circuitry signals your body uses to connect to your
mind. Once you become aware of this circuitry you can start
intercepting the signals manually yourself, instead of using
medicinals or doing counterproductive self medicating. Think of your
body as if its a Car Engine. If you put the wrong fuel or oil in it
too many times it will blowup. Once you realize where your body's fuel
lines, spark plugs, your biological wiring harness, circuit boards,
cooling lines, etc. you will see things in a whole new light from that
point on. Think of the odometer, don't put too many miles on your
Liver. You wear out your Heart it's hard to get the replacement parts.
For your body it's like looking under the hood. It's like looking at a
cognitive map-diagram of your system. Follow the instructions on the
Owners manual.
Here is a diagram of my Cognitive Loop in financial terms. Your human
system is mostly automated without you thinking about it. It's like
you're taking in $100 dollars but you only get to see 5 bux. It's okay
you don't need or want to see everything. This is normal until it's
not normal. The biological economy does not want you to know about
this. It wants you to blindly ingest as much as possible.
This cognitive loop diagram is part of the algorithm of a unit of
geospatial cognitive crypto currency on a geospatial health psychology
note. Jack Dangermond has one of these notes. The note is made from
mapping the human cognitive terrain and quantifying a metric. Data
imported into ArcGIS is temporally visualized to define the terms to
create a metric unit. The metric is one unit of truth. The truth about
your health is typically portrayed as something we must go get. We all
already have it we must defend it. First we must define it using
geospatial tools to verify and authenticate the unit.
The data visualization on the note is a truth about your health that
you can not see. If you believe the lie then it's not a lie. Once you
uncover this truth it becomes authenticated and verified and only then
does the geo crypto note have value. Uncovering a cognitive dissonance
is when two things don’t match. Eating. If you are eating because of
some other reason than hunger or what your body wants and needs that
is a cognitive dissonance. If this is resolved then you have
authenticated and verified a truth. This doesn't mean you have to
change the way you eat, it just means you know the truth about what
you are doing. This is a process of verbalization. You can't do
anything about anything if you don't properly verbalize it. Define
your terms. The way you speak to your Self makes all the difference in
the world. You have to be honest.
Life is about where to put your priorities and nothing else matters. Which priorities? Selfish priorities? Family priorities? Company priorities? Societies priorities? Religious priorities? Who owns your priorities? You are supposed to so what happens when something else does? Total Health Defense is all of that all at once. Mike Tyson told me, “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.” Bruce Lee told me, “Your greatest enemy is the element of surprise. To defeat that enemy don’t be surprised.” Offence or defense what should I do?
From a Total Health Defense perspective I would say that there are
things in life you can not control. And there are things in life you
can control. It only makes sense to carefully nurture the things you
can control and do not blindly feed the things out of your control.
That only seems obvious if you can tell the difference. If you
understand then you don’t need the logic but you need the logic to
understand. What should we do? We all have at least some "cognitive
dissonance" how do we know what it is?
Shannon Lee has a new book out about her father. She said, "just about
everyone on planet earth knows Bruce Lee as a Kung Fu fighter but not
everyone knows he was also a philosopher and a deep thinker." That has
to be the understatement of the year. She wanted to get that out and
share his words of wisdom. When I first learned Jeet Kune Do 40 years
ago it didn't take long for me to see the philosophy. Black Belt
magazine used to say, "Martial Arts is 80% mental 20% physical." I
never saw it. All the typical Karate Dojo's like at the strip Mall had
no philosophy or words of wisdom for me. 1970's Chinese Kung Fu was
fairly unknown in the United States.
In 1980 I was a 20 year old Private in the Army overseas. A Sarge from
Seattle taught us this strange thing called, "Jeet Kune Do." Coming
back home there were no JKD Instructors. I was broke anyhow so I
focused on the philosophy. I started using it to "Defend My Health." I
used to call it American Health Defense. I changed the name for the
cyber age to Total Health Defense. Traditionally health is looked at
as something you have to go get and try to keep. How about seeing it
in a different light.
What Do You Want in Life, Power? or Predictability?
Decoding
Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do
One of the tenets of Jeet Kune Do is, "the art of fighting without
fighting." That means intercept your opponent before a fight can get
going. This involves psychology. Stopping the fight before it gets
started does not make a good Hollywood movie but for Total Health
Defense it means you win. Since 1973 hand to hand self defense hasn't
changed too much. But defending your health has.
Bruce did not look at Jeet Kune Do as a style of martial arts, the
arts were simply a container for his philosophies of self expression
and actualization. He wanted us to use that vehicle for our self
expression and actualization. He closed his schools and planned to
express his philosophies in movie plots. One of Bruce's main
algorithms is fully express yourself by not "limiting" yourself.
Physically this is very challenging but what about psychologically?
What is it that you have to "defend" every day? Your health. But of
course. In the 1960's the concept of health wasn't a Thing yet. Bruce
was a pioneer just for bringing it up. But comparing "health defense"
in his day to today is like comparing a WWll soldier to a modern day
Navy SEAL. Fortunately the very core of Jeet Kune Do is its concept of
adaptability. Unfortunately the attraction is to be Bruce Lee, copy
him. He built Jeet Kune Do to be adapted not copied. He said be
yourself not someone else. He specifically said don't try to be him.
Why did he say that?
He was trying to get us to not underestimate how being the best of our
own ability is incredible. He's saying be How I did it, not How I'm
doing it. This is not easy to see. If Muhammad Ali told us, "You don't
want to be the greatest you want to be the best of your ability" we
would be like, uh no, I want to be the greatest, just like you.
Doesn't everyone want to win the lottery as some sort of shortcut when
we know the real answer? Bruce wants us to see how to see the real
answer. "Be your own light" is his quote from Jiddu Krisnamurti the
great Indian philosopher. His teachings influenced Jeet Kune Do
philosophy. Krishnamurti talks about a different kind of learning.
Copying things to add to your arsenal is a important type of learning,
it’s imperative. There is another type of learning where copying is
not learning. Copying is static, mechanical, cumulative. This
different type of learning is proactively being passive. It sounds
counter-intuitive. When you become adaptive you don't worry about
learning, you only worry about adapting.
I fear not the man who has practiced
10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick
10,000 times.
- Bruce Lee
What would a digital Jeet Kune Do look like?
It would adapt accordingly. Bruce Lee specifically said don't be him.
Salvador Dali said, "Have no fear of perfection—you’ll never reach
it." That means everything is a matter of balance and not black and
white, on or off, hot or cold. Be flexible.
As we decode the Tao of Jeet Kune Do I can see hints of something new
that was only just beginning to develop. Algorithms. I'm saying Health
would not be just more or better information about nutrients,
lifestyle, workouts, diets and the Food Chain. That's traditional and
that's a mess.
Introduction:
Your Health Self Interest and JKD
Jeet Kune Do translates to "Intercepting Fist." In the TV Show
Longstreet, the episode where character Duke Paige raises his arms
Bruce was on him subduing any attempt of movement and says, "I
intercepted your emotional tenseness." Intercepted your emotional
state, your mind, your thoughts. That's a powerful algorithm. It was a
fight by not fighting and there was no fight. That's the main tenet of
Jeet Kune Do philosophy. What if you did that with your your health
psychology? Your Health Self Interest. Intercept it.
Jeet Kune Do literally means "intercepting" your opponents fist. I
never heard Bruce talk about intercepting himself. It appears he
considered intercepting as offence? He words things differently when
he talks about working on your inner self, like ways to work on your
inner defense. He never talks about defending it by interception. My
idea is take this very aggressive offence and use it on your Self, as
"health defense." The word health was not used that way in those days,
the word health was barely used at all in those days. You defend your
life and your honor, to defend your health was unheard of. Healthcare
the way we know today wasn't invented yet.
I love his concept of emotional interception of your opponent so
doesn't it makes sense to intercept your own emotions? Today we call
this emotional intelligence. The more you know about your self the
better you can defend your self. Recognizing emotions and
understanding the causes and consequences of those emotions helps your
defense. It helps to label emotions with precise words so you can
regulate and express them better. When Bruce Lee says it's hard to
honestly express yourself it's an interesting turn of phrase.
Generally we're pretty busy with this task of expressing ourselves in
any best way we can, worrying about if it's honest is not the first
concern. I guess that's exactly his point.
Working on your emotional intelligence is not something you do on
Thursdays at 3 p.m. It’s about infusing the concept into everything
that happens. This psychology has been around since Sun Tzu so it's
seems strange that today it's controversial. I guess that's not new
either, meditation techniques, mind body control, martial arts,
Buddhist eastern practices, have all come under fire from the West for
centuries. I consider Jeet Kune Do in front of all that hooplah, its
ahead of everything, it's direct, the core of your defense, life or
death, no time or room for politics at that stage. It's a very small
window.
Change happens slowly right up until it happens quickly. When
everything is calm and relaxing, life is good, and there are no real
problems—no one really thinks about emotional intelligence. But when
you are threatened people start taking emotional intelligence
seriously. Everything is activated. Everyone is easily triggered and
people are worrying about their safety and their future. One of the
strategies for this is to just know about it. A problem well stated is
half solved.
Cognitive activity is related to a form of signals that travel through
the air towards you and into your body as electrical psychological
message (signals) traveling at various speeds on series of cable-like
pathways through an organic analog network. So to speak. You need to
"intercept" that message. Intercept these signals.
Depending on the type, the neural impulse travels at speed ranging
from 2 miles per hour to, super fast 200+ miles per hour. But even
this speed is 3 million times slower than the speed of electricity
through a wire.
The psychological messages can travel through the air, once they
become physical, like if you touch something the impulse travels
through the nerve network to the brain at a rate of 350 feet per
second. Some kinds of pain signals travel slowly. If you stub your
toe, you feel the pressure right away because touch signals travel at
250 feet per second. But you won't feel the pain for another two or
three seconds, because pain signals generally travel only two feet per
second.
Before the 1960's nobody took health seriously. It was just another
side issue, if you made it to Friday you were healthy. Socio economic
political cultural religious agendas have hijacked our health. Now we
are trying to figure out all the things that ruin our health.
Health Literacy is not taught in school. How do you know what to do?
You can't do everything but you can do everything you can do. You
choose certain choices and sometimes certain choices choose you. Your
body is just like a motor. You wouldn't put the wrong type of fuel in
your Car, so why would you do that to your body?
Evel Knievel is right when he says your body is an engine. How can you
talk about driving when you have no idea when the oil was changed, why
the transmission makes noises, the brakes squeak, pistons are knocking
but all you want to do is complain about your driving experience. This
is what doctors deal with every day. Some guy comes in complaining
about heartburn but all he eats is garbage food yet he can't figure it
out. You can't have it both ways. The doctor gives you statin drugs to
"transition." They're not supposed to be your new normal so you can
continue going down the wrong road. That's what Evel Knievel said
about using Nitro in engine fuel.
Your mind is a similar dynamic. Why wouldn't it be? If you have no
idea how to listen to (more importantly NOT listen to) your body, well
then of course you're going to be lost. It's a form of cognitive
dissonance. The grifter trolls out there know the "cure" for this is
only listen to what you want to be told. And sold. You get fleeced all
the while voting against your own self interest. The natural tendency
is to make everything all about you.
Cognitive
Science
How can we manage our health defense when our mind hides from us how
it works? It's silly to not listen to the little bit you get. We live
only in the top thin layer. All the other layers are on auto-pilot.
The mind is guiding us, steering things, telling us when to want, when
to pay attention, but you don't see everything. Information is sorted
out for us on the lower layers. How much do you know about your self?
Sometimes your spouse or partner can see something in you before you
do. Facebook, Google, Amazon, YouTube, they can see things in you
before you do because they bother to track it. Then they sell it. You
get nothing. You are a product. Social media uses "behavior engineers"
that feed you. To keep you in "engagement." You could track your every
move and predict your own behaviors the same way they do. It's just
not practical. You can skip all that hassle if you just learn how to
look at your self. This is very difficult to do all by yourself. If
you didn't know you won't know it.
Walking around town life seems so fully formed. Every day is so new
it's difficult to see most of life is spent wondering what just
happened. Who has time to track all that? They do. And they do and
they don't tell you. Worse yet they don't give us a cut of the action.
I joined Facebook way back in the beginning. Right away I complained
they weren't giving me royalties even though I had a fake name and
fake information. Jaron Lanier says we should quit all social media
and hide under the couch. I think we've past that opportunity. For
example Facebook is all over you even if you never touched the
program. We just have to be more aware of the way things are now. This
is a new battlefield where the military and the civilians are becoming
the same target.
Your
worst enemy is the element of surprise. To defeat that enemy don't
be surprised.
- Bruce Lee
Health
Is The New Wealth
How do we use Jeet Kune Do ten years from now? 40 years from now? If
you had to pick one -POWER or PREDICTABILITY, which would you choose?
Hollywood would have you picking Power every time. Fighting Action
Fighting Action. That's what everybody wants. Power sounds good but
it's not predictable. With predictability you get power, for free,
it's like two for one. It's like intercepting. Predictability is about
the path you're on. Power is about Obstacles. Power leads to always
wanting (needing) more. A better pursuit is to seek predictability,
for then life is no longer about obstacles, it's all about which
"paths" to take. Life is about paths. In everyday life it's not a
clear cut choice. Always use power, but only after you first tried to
use predictability. Predictability is a form of interception. Fight
without fighting. All the references you see about intercepting are
about the opponent, his technique or his intent. What if you focus on
"intercepting" your self? That's what I call Total Health Defense.
We typically think of health as going on a diet. Something important to think about is Fasting. Even when you do it for one day it is important. Because it makes your body go into Repair mode.
