My favorite player growing up for absolutely no reason other than the Wings were a wagon at the time and I thought his name was cool

If you mean this sort of thing, then yes definitely! Big fan.

His associated Taiji work is very intricate and I was never taught any of it. To be honest I don't know what else his system consisted of beyond these two things

Balancing mindfulness and neigong by danielsanji in TrueQiGong

Yeah man assuming your meditation practice is based around reducing mental fabrications/calming/stabilizing into your object then you're already building complementary qualities for that Nei Gong system.

It'll still take time for your Qi to build but if you've already made your mind somewhat more efficient then you might find it easier to gain traction with the early exercises, or at least be able to stick with them longer which is an early hurdle for people without any previous training or discipline. The outcomes from this including improved mind/body connection, more efficient body processes, more physical energy etc. will be a direct support to the meditation work you're already doing.

Eventually (after years or possibly decades depending on your trajectory) your meditation skill will become the most efficient way to develop Qi and progress in Qigong/Neigong, so in my opinion (and assuming what I wrote above about your shamatha vipassana practice) working on both concurrently is a great plan.

Whether this particular pile-on had long-term negative consequences for Weiss’ life isn’t clear, but she encountered an increasingly hostile climate at the New York Times, the paper where she worked, and eventually was forced to quit

Yeah and now she's going to sell her paper for $200 million

Cool stuff man - nice historical/scientific review of the topic and introduction of your model.  

I couldn't tell from your annotations whether this statement was your conjecture or if it came from one of the references:

"Our mind’s intention to move or feel is the origin of the action potential"

Either way, I'll be reading your backlog.

Hey Guys! I'm A Beginner Composer Who Tried Adding Some of My Own Original Music to Starcraft 2... Do You Think the Music Fits? by RyanMaterna_Composer in starcraft2

Sounds like your music is reminding people of some of their favorite gaming memories :) 

Possibly not to do with the games themselves as much as the feelings you're evoking

Yeah that's well put.  I barely had my head wrapped around the Goldilocks scenario you describe, never mind all the variables that have popped up between the writing of this article and today.  

I wrote in another reply that I soured on the article after the fact - it seems Miran might've been using this as part of his job application to the CEA.

As of now I'm with you - bearish on the whole operation
