'One challenge for life now is getting maximum or sufficient or optimal freedom for individuals (& particular groups) while maintaining relatively orderly progress for groups/masses of people, along with all the systems on Earth (& a little bit beyond).'

'THINGS (& BEING)

Question: How do you organize/group/manage everything in your life?'

To respond to that, we'll probably have to address some categories such as

'organization & chaos' and 'regularity & irregularity'

'Memento mori, as it operates experientially or existentially, asks questions such as "What does one know?"

"What does one do?" 

and "What does one find oneself caught up in?"

'Happy 250th birthday to one of history's great Romantic artists!  People don't usually think of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel as a Romantic Hero, but he's the philosophical equivalent of Beethoven -- born the same year -- and his philosophical preoccupations were just as Romantic and Heroic as Beethoven's musical ones.'

If an individual's discourse-use within a group 'is accompanied by displays of emotion'  that correspond to that group's emotion, 'then that individual will be judged to be a "cooperator"...and group members will predict further cooperative behavior from that individual in relation to [their] group (adapted from Bubulia and Sosis, 2011, 365; cf. Irons 2001)'.

'The Franklin, also known as the "Fugio," cent [a penny coin] was authorized by Congress in 1787 and thus...predates the constitutional regime....'  Its two inscriptions 'We Are One' and 'Mind Your Business' 'perfectly express a minted conflict between two national impulses....'

'What does it look like to write about life?  One version, among many others, is through biography (bio-graphy): writing about (a) life. 

Another version of writing about life is biology -- the study of life -- or discourse, reasoning, and organization / ordering regarding life itself, not only individual lives but also in terms of what makes life in all its diversity.  

Yet another version of working on the topic of life is psychobiography: writing about a life from a psychological perspective.  ...My own version of what others have called psychobiography leans toward being more expansive and as all-encompassing as possible, both to understand and optimize life/lives.  At least, that is the aspiration.'
