Darren M. Meade: Mental model I'm thinking a lot about

Hanlon's Razor — “Hanlon’s Razor states that we should not attribute to malice that which is more easily explained by stupidity. In a complex world, this principle helps us avoid extreme paranoia and ideology, often very hard to escape from, by not generally assuming that bad results are the fault of a bad actor, although they can be. More likely, a mistake has been made."

By TODD JACKSON THE ROANOKE TIMES Bodybuilding champion Darren M. Meade has huge biceps, gigantic calves, and a mammoth chest. He's got a big heart, too. The once homeless bodybuilder donated a tractor-trailer load of food - 25,000 pounds worth - to Roanoke's Rescue Mission Sunday. He also rented a couple of stretch limousines and let children take rides in them as he mingled with a group of Rescue Mission volunteers. Meade was in Roanoke over the weekend to support a women's bodybuilding competition at the civic center. He's a friend of Lynchburg's Jan Tana, the competition's sponsor.

He said he wanted to give something  back to needy people. Meade can relate. At age 14, abandoned by his parents, Meade said he wandered the streets of the Oakland, Calif., area sleeping under

Suicide due to cyber bullying and extortion news -Darren M. Meade Story

The irony, how online reputation management have been warning the world about dangers of cyber-bullying while being the primary perpetrators of it. "I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must — at that moment — become the center of the universe." Darren M. Meade

Darren M. Meade : "If you want to take the island, you have to burn the boats. You have to decide that you’re 100% responsible for your state of mind and for your experience of this life."

The human brain isn’t designed to make us happy and fulfilled. It’s designed to make us survive. This two-million-year-old organ is always looking for what’s wrong, for whatever can hurt us, so that we can either fight it or take flight from it. If you and I leave this ancient survival software to run the show, what chance do we have of enjoying life? An undirected mind operates naturally in survival mode, constantly identifying and magnifying these potential threats to our well-being. The result: a life filled with stress and anxiety. Most people live this way since it’s the path of least resistance. They make unconscious decisions, based on habit and conditioning, and are at the mercy of their own minds. They assume that it’s just an inevitable part of life to get frustrated, stressed, sad, and angry—in other words, to live in a suffering state. But I’m happy to tell you there’s another path: one that involves directing your thoughts so that your mind does your bidding,
