🚀 The Journey Continues: Insights from Almanack of Naval Ravikant 💡 This weekend I dove deeper into some profound ideas. Here's what stood out: 1️⃣ Choosing to Free Yourself 🕊️ Naval talks about freedom, not just the external kind, but the deep, internal freedom we all seek. The hardest thing isn’t doing what you want, it’s knowing what you want. There are no adults with all the answers—everyone is figuring it out as they go. You must carve your own path by picking, choosing, and discarding what doesn't fit. His definition of freedom? Freedom from reaction. Freedom from anger. Freedom from expectations. Freedom from employment. Freedom from uncontrolled thinking. This internal freedom is what Naval seeks most now. 🌱 2️⃣ The Meaning of Life 🌌 Naval gives three interpretations of life’s meaning, and all are equally mind-bending: It’s Personal: No one can tell you what the meaning of life is—not even Buddha. You must find it yourself. There’s No Meaning: Life, art, and even civilization are fleeting. One day, the sun will burn out, the universe will collapse into silence, and everything we’ve ever done will be gone. Entropy: On a scientific level, life reverses entropy locally by creating order, but we accelerate entropy globally. Eventually, the universe will reach its final state—no energy, no movement. In the end, everything is one. 🔄 3️⃣ The Present is All We Have ⏳ Naval reminds us that there is only the present. No one has ever gone back in time, and no one has ever successfully predicted the future. The only thing that exists is this exact moment in space and time. We are constantly dying and being reborn with every breath we take, and it’s up to us to choose whether to remember or forget this truth. The present moment is the only reality—everything else is an illusion. 🌟 #Freedom #MeaningOfLife #Entropy #PresentMoment #NavalRavikant #BookJourney

In this episode of 'The Other Side of MS', we talk with Leo Kreisel, a Navy veteran and devoted spouse of Heidi, the president of the North Florida chapter of the MS Society. Leo shares his experiences from his 24-year naval career, his supportive role within the MS Society, and his insights on managing both personal and professional sacrifices. Throughout the conversation, Leo reflects on his approach to volunteering, his admiration for Heidi's work, and the vital importance of community in dealing with MS. Highlights include Leo's thoughts on emotional resilience, family dynamics, and addressing misconceptions surrounding MS. https://lnkd.in/eKPQCEys

U.S. Naval Research Laboratory researchers Drs. Alexander Englesbe, Joshua Issacs, Richard Fischer, Daniel Gordon, Yu-shin Chen, Michael Helle, Mr. Justin Rieman and NSF Post-Doctoral Fellow Dr. Jessica Pena present their work on intense pulsed laser development, atmospheric propagation, material interaction and plasma effects at the Annual Directed Energy Symposium. Their work goes beyond just theory. By understanding how pulsed lasers interact with targets, they're laying the groundwork for the Navy's current Directed Energy Mission and shaping the future of our fleet.

We received the following information via our network of service academy graduates: From the MacArthur Society President, Col. (Ret.) Bill Prince, who attended the USMA Board of Visitors meeting in DC last week: The Supe advised that "Duty, Honor, Country" will be removed from the official Mission Statement, replaced by a commitment "...to the Army Values." Interestingly, "...service to the Nation as an officer..." now changed to "...lifetime of service to the Army and Nation." The MacArthur Society, the new patriotic association of graduates, is fighting back, alongside Air Force and Navy academy grads. Putting It Plainly I will state plainly what you all are thinking: The Army Values are meant well and are important to the US Army at large but are a lower standard than the West Point Values and tradition of Duty, Honor, Country. Like in many great institutions in the United States of America, progressive ideology is eroding away at West Point and doing so in a slow but methodical march, co-opting our good intentions through the specter of cultural marxism. Our adversaries are unscrupulous but sophisticated and very patient. Fighting Back: Borman 2.0 We at the MacArthur Society have been making headway on service academy reform through Project 2025 and "Borman 2.0." Borman 2.0 is joint project with two other distinguished service academy societies, Calvert Task Group (USNA, CTG) and STARRS (USAFA, STARRS.us), intended to reform USMA, USNA, and USAFA (see attached). Borman 2.0 is named after Astronaut Frank Borman, who led the presidential commission investigating the 1977 West Point cheating scandal.

In 1974, a group of friends, inspired by the experiences of one who had returned from a Peace Corps assignment, embarked on a transformative mission, which led to the creation of WES. Their purpose was clear: To fill a critical void in the United States education landscape by offering credential evaluations to individuals with international credentials. Over the last 50 years, WES has become a leading social enterprise in the international education landscape, supporting the evolution, innovation, and growth of programs and policies that support the communities it serves. We are excited to see what the next 50 years will bring! Learn more about the foundation of WES and our growth over the last 50 years, here: https://ow.ly/4cay50Shca4 #WES50

While the demand for ocean acoustics is growing, both the multidisciplinary nature of ocean acoustic education and the different types of career paths have proved challenging for workforce development. This report, conducted at the request of The Office of Naval Research (ONR), explores the existing educational challenges and opportunities, and presents recommendations to achieve future training and education needs for an expanding workforce. https://lnkd.in/gDa9yTSE

🎉 Today in history, on February 6th 🎉 🚀 1959: The first successful test firing of a Titan intercontinental ballistic missile was conducted by the United States. This marked a significant advancement in military technology during the Cold War era. 📚 1911: The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum was dedicated in Simi Valley, California. Named after the 40th President of the United States, it serves as a repository of historical documents and artifacts from Reagan's presidency. 🎨 1912: New York City's landmark Grand Central Terminal officially opened its doors to the public.

The Artificial Intelligence Maritime Maneuver Indiana Collegiate Challenge, also referred to as AIMM ICC. We hope you are able to join us April 26-28, 2024, to see the innovative solutions developed by college students from across the state of Indiana. Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division (NSWC Crane) with the support of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) will host the AIMM ICC at Pokagon State Park, Indiana. This event was created after Congressman Jim Banks (IN-3) led a congressional funding addition for a partnership between Trine University and NSWC Crane – focused on advancing the AIMM effort. The unique partnership, funded by ONR, focuses on providing a low-cost, easy-to-build, low profile vessel (LPV) that can be made fully autonomous for a variety of mission sets; supply deliver system, stealth missions, locator purposes, etc. The grant allowed Trine University to purchase state-of-the-art equipment used to aid in the design and build of LPVs that will be distributed to each university participating in the challenge. Each university received a built LPV and sensor package as well as financial stipends to offset materials and labor. Purpose of the challenge: To demonstrate the ability to make a fully autonomous LPV and develop solutions for a mixed set of objectives. https://lnkd.in/g-czVDym
