ABOUT JOHN SPARK & SILLY JOURNEY

🔭 I can finally FEEL the first few signs
⌛ Of SILLY... good times, a new Renaissance
🌻 Passionate minds, flourishing friends
🎨 Art, science, laughter & dance!

Hello, friend, welcome to Silly™ (renamed from Sillywell™ because I already feel well plus on the internet, the shorter, the better), the human wellbeing platform for a renaissance of all the authentic human stuff, started by me, John Spark, enlightened entrepreneur from Bohemia passionate about brain hacks, creative arts & having fun. It's both a labor of love and team effort, as I'm co-creating Silly together with many of my sometimes official, sometimes unoffical but always REAL human silly friends. Having found my life's mission after an 11-year-long odyssey, I've finally started playing my part, first by wandering around the city of Prague, Czechia, helping people and business teams with creativity, focus & mood (bookings available) through my innovative workshops, coaching, motivational speaking, doing comedy shows, music, impro, and yada yada, and yodel. In the meantime, aside from having fun and enjoying life, I'm growing Silly into a humanity app startup, big fun party worldwide. But one thing at a time!

1. SILLY FOR BUSINESS: BE DIFFERENT

For those who haven't been lucky to go through a decade-long spiritual odyssey and get booked by their clients for their brain-boosting creativity & wellbeing services despite being an international idiot,

the year 2026 (= 1984 + 42) is an anxious, odd & scary time to be a human, let even to be a business leader tryAIng to stand out from the flood of AI-copycat-mpetitors both home & overseas.

Now, I'm not here to say I hate all AI tools. I myself have used a few of them here and there. It's just the way they evolved to be used by most employees, teams, businesspeople and even individual creators around the world, the workflows, the dynamics of it, the change in the game, that has created this strange, odd, almost dystopian world. It's making everyone feel worse and worse year on year, it's removing the unique and different and magical that kept customers happy, and, as the AI eats AI content and spews out even more AI content, every company is becoming more and more of a clone of all the others.

I can see it in the magazines, I can see it on TV, I can see it on the web. Everyone's marketers use AI ads, and they are beginning to look all the same - strangely "perfect" but not quite, sometimes downright creepy. The uncanny valley. Customers find all the ads very odd. Well.. and how about R&D? If marketing is ruined by AI, does R&D make up for it? No. Because not only are R&D employees wasting time doomscrolling on addictive social media, but they are also surrendering their brains & business secrets to AI tools. They're not even having the good old watercooler conversations with their colleagues anymore, to keep up the unique collective spirit & culture, because COVID-19 took off their human skills and everything went online. The spirit of the business is no longer in the collective intelligence of the human teams. Instead, the lonely humans let de-generative AI gobble up their code and corporate memos and do all the work somewhere in the cloud and then their AI tools talk to other's AI tools telling all those clueless humans what to do. Even I can say it's madness. Cognitive chaos. Entire organizations all over the world, America, EMEA, APAC, LATAM, Mars, gradually losing track of where their business is going, failing to navigate, becoming more and more dependent on unpredictable and external tools.

All while a few big tech companies' algorithms silently crunch and process more and more of their precious data, in their remote data centers far, far away... on a safe and secure cloud instance...

"Our formal agreement not to train on your data will do! Just like we f- did it with the artists."

Now, what's worse, as these armies of AI clones are increasingly running the show and the behind the scenes, business leaders also have to oversee them while the AIs reorganize their business workflows they had in place for years, tell them to do layoffs, not do layoffs, and also keep eating more and more expensive credits because otherwise the AI companies never end up in profit. Because, as their terms are saying, even though they're desperate for more data to train on (the entire internet was not enough), and bleeding money, they still can't use your private business data. So, they won't, right? ...Right? And as the business leaders are busy sympathizing with these poor and miserable big AI company CEOs, they get less and less time to focus on their own human customers and their core market differentiation, their USP, their business “secret sauce” they've been perfecting for years that these customers are paying for. Or, were? All while the leaders see how the "sea" of competitors starts filling up with ideas, products & ads that start looking more and more just the same as their own ones, for some "odd" reason...

Why are we putting up with this? How will this end? 1984 + 42 = G4M3 OV3R?

I am no fortune teller or numerologist, and I don't speak to too many other gods, but I feel it in the birdsong that this is going to end well, silly well, at least for those who book me early and invest in their employees' brain capital, mojo capital & all other types of different capital with Silly, to keep their employees' brains sharp, keep their team's creative chemistry high, and win the battle for their business-life-dependent competitive edge. And even if they've already lost their edge because I've been too busy sharpening my senses, honing my craft & inventing brain hacks on my way to the park while improvising to my mirror, singing bla bla songs to birds & meditating for hours to a dot on a piece of paper in blissful ignorance of all the AI dystopia, online addictions & digital madness (I had already gotten mad of it successfully by then)... Well, that's no problem whatsoever. And why? It's because I am finally here, and I, John Spark, know really silly well myself how to create something new after losing it, don't I? So, if they have still survived the AI-odd-yssey with a couple hundred bucks here and there for my paper game workshops, coachings, motivational speeches, or a couple tens of bucks for my innovative range of humanity apps & brain games, I can still go meet them, help them, and celebrate their business renaissance. And in their renaissance, I'm enjoying my own.

While we humans can't get back to pen and paper, we can definitely do a lot to stay in charge.

Like, get back to pencil and paper. At least, for some of the most creative bits!

Plus, the pencil has a rubber, in case you're not sure if you can trust your AI with your data.

Now, where do I come in?

I'm the brain magic. The office sillynderella. The shaman of different.

I organize live silly workshops & coachings at offices in Prague & beyond (sometimes online) where I share my best creative brain techniques, mind games & human "rerooting" techniques with practical demonstrations and exercises, or group exercises. Our pencils become Shakespeare's quills, our papers become Leonardo da Vinci's canvases, and our minds go on a magical journey. We create original paper artifacts, which the participants keep as both souvenirs and reusable, working tools, we laugh & joke around, or I deliver an emotional and creative motivational speech leaving us all teary-eyed, all while I gradually turn into a Steve Jobs and serve you not apples, or carrots, but new, innovative Silly digital services and interactive “humanity apps” for ongoing creative support. I collect no data from you, I don't even use a laptop at the workshops, I only care about the human parts. The between heaven and earth. How your employees are enjoying the workshops, how they're feeling, and how sillily, joyfully & productively they're honing their creative powers to your company's benefit.

It's time do something different. Nowadays, about everyone and their tool have tried AI. Yeah, it can definitely gobble up a lot of code and sensitive business data and make us dependent on it. It's very good at that. Otherwise, it's mostly just standing in our way, and it fell short of our expectations, splintering our attention, stumping our human brains. And while I'm not here to flat-out reject all AI, it is what it is: a treason against our state of being human. So, before I log off, what is it that I do forrestee as the next, actually useful start-up tool that "would" help businesses stay above the fold and print money?

Uhm... tried paper?

Engage me as your Silly brain magician now, while I'm still available in person, and I'll turn your company into an early & silly player in this new renaissance of human potential & creative direction while your (ex-)competitors are still brain-fogging doomscrolling and running in AI circles.

SILLY FOR SHOWBIZ: PLAY WITH JOHN SPARK!

After helping business clients throughout the working day, I like to also switch off my focus mode and share the love, getting involved with art, music, comedy (feel free to check my creative showcase below with my mental tools and brain tricks), or just share my incredible life story, the odyssey. What I've learned, what my biggest regret is, what changed about the way I see the world or the meaning of life, and yada yada, or yabba dabba doo, or just something silly and authentically myself whatever.

Many people have expressed their interest in meeting me, doing something creative with me, not just business, but also just for fun. I am sorry that it has taken me so long to figure out my new life, mind-body-spirit, find myself in this new world, fine-tune and easify the tools for "normal" people, and finally start Silly as a business, and so I've been always putting it off. I'm sorry; I needed it. Anyhow, now I'm ready. I'm very happy, finally feeling confident to come out of my shell & just put myself out there, animal speed. Let's nail down what is so exciting about my story, what songs we can sing, what movies we can make of it. Let's have some fun! Discover each other! Go! Book me! And even if my heart & mission are bringing me to America, I'll always be coming back to Bohemia because that's officially the birthplace & educationplace of not just me the human, but this entire new renaissance of human!

Now, I may have hacked my brain powers & practiced various arts, I may have become a myth or urban legend, relying on some illusion of a safe space. ("I didn't agree to the hacking!") But I'm still new to the art industry where it all becomes real, profesional, no more excuses like "I was just being silly". I will be honored to visit your podcast, radio, TV, with my story, motivational speech, impro show, in exchange for your artistic input, word of recommendation, and some kind of a reference. But we sure can make some money together, I'm completely okay with that! If we can do it nicely, not, like, naughtily or smth.

In the section Bookings below, you'll find a full list of all my available formats, not just the business side I do, but also this more joyful "party side", y'know, talks, interviews, standup comedy shows, motivational speeches, musical brainstormings, so that everyone can enjoy & co-create the new renaissance with me John Spark & Silly. Not just these boring businesspeople! They're always so busy, Nessun Dorma they don't like me to sing, and they never read content that's none of their business's business. They're such boring witches that I believe they could turn me, the silly brain magician, into a chicken!

TOOLS = SILLY WELLBEING TOOLS

When I, John Spark, boost my creativity, brainpower, reroot myself, how do I do it?
Yes, yes, I know, of course: "A wise magician never reveals all their secrets."
No matter what, this free glimpse I'm giving you gets you close.
To your and your organisation's mental renaissance!

🎨 1. Creativity
🧠 2. Brainpower
🌳 3. Rerooting

🎨 1. Creativity mental tools I use daily

These are the techniques for elevating human creativity which are part of my workshops & coaching and which I use myself every day. I'll be happy to teach them to you / -r team. I know and use a few more, but these are the top 3 categories. Further below, I'll add some of the creative poems, insights & jokes they have helped me create.

🧠 2. Brainpower mental tools I use daily

While sillygraphy, impro, uncertainty work really well for my creativity, if I want to improve things like my brain's processing power, reaction speed, focus, willpower or memory, speed, focus or memory, I go for slightly different tools, which you can see below (Part of my workshops & coaching), like dot-meditation, embodiment and visualisation. I've even derived the best "stack" or "pipeline" or "workflow", or just order of sequence for creativity vs. brainpower: I prefer to start with the creativity thing, which makes my senses go a little "silly", or a lotta, and then "smoothen out" or "settle in" this creative boost with one of these tools for focus and brainpower to "let it sit" and turn a real superpower. And finally, as a third step, rerooting ensures you stay connected to the world and people around you.

🌳 3. Rerooting tools I use daily

When I invented the word "rerooting", I thought of the "derooting" or "unrooting" of our human minds from nature, the 3D world, and other people. This disconnect. I actually suffered a pretty deep blow to my mind-body connection myself when I was living (COVID & online) in the computer or phone only for all day long, every day, without every doing any of these rerooting practices. Then, I paid the price. And then, once I started with these rerooting practices, it all came back, and I came out more relieved and more human than ever. (Part of my workshops & coaching.) Rerooting is what I go for as a wrap-up to my creativity and brainpower tools, or just throughout the day if I feel anxious or sad, as a little "glimmer" of joy.

CREATIVE SHOWCASE: DICTIONARY & ART WORKS

When I use my tools for creativity, brainpower, rerooting, I have to first invent the Silly dictionary and the word "tool". Otherwise, it will end up mistaken for stool (a chair), smell (of a beautiful flower) or small (minimalism). Or you'll scratch your head at what exactly the word means. In any case, I'll make sure you have a fun time, and I'll also bloom-feed you a few poems, ideas and jokes I've made with my tool-enchanted mind recently. Here you go!

🔠 Silly Dictionary
🪶 John Spark's Poems
🤔 John Spark's Insights
🤣 John Spark's Jokes

=> 🔠 Dictionary words* I coined with my tools for fools ( Be a fool! )

*Note: I make new words to make writing and speaking simpler to me. So far, they're already featured in one dictionary around the world: The Silly Dictionary by John Spark of Silly. Now, the only remaining issue is my number. Shakespeare reportedly coined "over 1,700" new words. That's officially 1,701. And so, I'll win in 1702. Sorry, no time machine. I'll win at - 1,702 words or above. Now, curious about my number, the current number? I'm somewhere between 100 and 200. Hmm.. let's see if I can steal Shakespeare's title by 2050. Now, more seriously speaking, this is a serious dictionary of the silly jargon used by Silly. (Silly, c'est moi.) The new words just work better. Says Silly.

  • 🐦‍⬛ deroot (v.) - to throw (a human) into a state of feeling out of touch with one’s authentic human self, the real, three-dimensional world, nature, and the other good things in life that make a person feel human, the opposite of “reroot”;
  • 🐦‍⬛ reroot (v.) - to help (a human) return back into a state of authentic humanity, great mind-body-spirit connection, and thriving overall both cognitively and in other dimensions and aspects of human wellbeing, the opposite of “deroot”;
  • 🐦‍⬛ humanity app (term) - a type of software application helping a person with what is between the chair and the computer (unless it's empty or there isn't a human but this time e.g. a cat because even a cat can wait for an AI tool to finally produce some kind of an output or something it's just unlike a human it wouldn't use the computer mouse the same way), or between the standing desk and the wall on the other side (unless the human isn't standing there because they're e.g. doomscrolling social media on their phone in the canteen instead of talking to the person opposite them at the same table for another 30 minutes before the AI tool spews out an answer), in other words, with their human self, their own wellbeing and their offline, real-world life; ex.: “There are amazing productivity apps helping us with every aspect of our online lives. But who’s helping us with our offline lives? Where are all the humanity apps?”;
  • 🐦‍⬛ swession (adj.) - a session of wellbeing practices, such as getting silly, focusing on a meditation dot, or indulging in a relaxation meditation, or all of the above; ex.: “I heard this on some kind of a silly TV or somewhere: You are gonna be doing a big swession in the morning in the office, right before work, with an emphasis on creativity and brainpower to elevate your focus and all your skills, then a few shorter, booster swessions in between bouts of work, especially the relaxing ones, and then, a medium swession after, just to clear your head and get you ready for the after-work-life. You’ll definitely feel heavenly, all day!”;
  • 🐦‍⬛ swool (n.) - (blend of words “silly wellbeing tool”) a creative brain mini-game, uncoventional quick mental exercise or litte-known but simple and effective habit that a human can use throughout the day or on a daily basis to improve their wellbeing, focus, creativity, mood, to feel more confident and in charge of their life, or to do better at some practical activity as a form or warmup or confidence boost; ex: “Before my show, I like to do a swession, a few swools. My favorite combo is Back-talk, Hypno-dot and Embo-points, in this order. .sdrawkcab klat I ,tsirF Then, I stare at a speck on the wall, count to sixty. And then I touch myself and objects near me to feel 3D and rooted. And then, I go on stage as a superhero. Where did I learn this? Look, this brain gym app, it’s helping me do better at this and get inspo for new swools and, the combos, we call ‘em swessions, and, y’know, more stuff. I can both play them in the app or just play them in my mind if I’m in a rush. Up to me, whatever I feel like. And it’s completely different from all the other apps I’ve tried. No annoying notifications, deadlines, AI chatbots for no reason, complicated pricing with high-low tiers, just one subscription, for one price, and I’m good to go(d). And it gives spiritual, you know, has some kind of an aura to it. The name of the app is…”;
  • 🐦‍⬛ angfraid (adj.) - angry and afraid at the same time; “When John pretended to start leaving in a rush, the girl with the ‘Naughty one’ jersey immediately glared at him with an angfraid look in her eyes. She looked both furious and scared at the same time, and she reacted very quickly, as if she had been paying attention to him the whole time. That’s when John knew for sure she probably was who he thought she was. Then, he turned around and smirked at her, which calmed her down. Or, at least, so he thought. He didn't immediately look back to check. Later that night, John pondered for a while why this act of his 'mock strategic retreat' had been so convincing, wrapping up with: ‘Well, no matter what.. Gosh, got to strike some gold with these clown skills of mine! Let me check and see.’”;
  • 🐦‍⬛ muse (n.) - human who can uplift, inspire and empower other humans in present times, e.g. as a teacher or practictioner of creative arts and wellbeing practices or a combination thereof working online or offline or in a combination thereof and doing so e.g. through a digital platform or a real-world social network or a combination thereof, do not confuse with the traditional mythical divine beings from Ancient Greece the name of which is prepended with a “the” and spelled with a capital M - “the Muses”;
  • 🐦‍⬛ bloomscroll (n.)(v.) - ToDo definition;
  • 🐦‍⬛ bloom-feed (v.) - ToDo definition;
  • 🐦‍⬛ history-backed (adj.) - ToDo definition;
  • 🐦‍⬛ AI-dle time (term) (alt: AIdle time) - the waiting time between entering an AI prompt and receiving a response that is odd and unpredictable when it comes to the length, which can often be momentum-breaking and monumentally unproductive for the human; ex.: “People don't know what to do between entering the prompt into AI and getting a response. I call these the dead idle times caused by AI as… ‘AI-dle times’.”;
  • 🐦‍⬛ doom-feed (v.) - (of a software application) feed an internet user or smartphone user with content of low quality, in an uninspiring format or that is downright harmful to mental health in a way that the users are aware how it is not good for their lives, brains and moods but they feel powerless to quit consuming it despite the discomfort because of e.g. being depleted of willpower or being a victim of a psychopathically-, I mean, psychologically designed system optimized for addiction; ex.: “It's really strange. First, we people don't like it when an app spoon-feeds us with tips on how we should use it, like the short-lived experiment named Clippy. Because we don't want a computer to tell us what to do! But then, a decade or two later, we somehow lose our willpower, and we are completely okay with it when an app doom-feeds us, when it doom-feeds us with repetitive AI garbage we don't even remember because it's always replaced by another short in 15 seconds, like... well, about all apps right now. I mean, all but one. There's an app for pun-feeding, or fun-feeding, or... f***, I forgot its name, but, it's an app that accomplished something better - feeding us with good stuff.”;

=> 🪶 Poems I've written with my tools for fools ( Be a fool! )

I'm not a native English speaker & I never really played, with poetry, until silly games, & now look at me. I'm also working on adding my music to my poems, which would make them... songs? And, if curious about my inspiration, it's a magical mixture. I'm just aware of my feelings, emotions, and letting them all out.

  • "The New Renaissance" -- I can finally see the first few signs: Of silly good times, a new Renaissance; Passionate minds, flourishing friends; Art, science, laughter & dance!
  • 👁️ "Aware" -- I am aware of where I am; I am aware - Aware I am.
  • 🌳 "Apple Tree" -- Shall I compare myself to Steve Jobs; Or to to the apple tree's pollen? I'm but a poet who steal and robs; But who said the best ideas are stolen?
  • 🌅 "Once" -- I choose a cheerful life; Cherishing every rising sun; Since one day dusk will stay; Because we only live once.
  • 🚶🏻 "Silly BE" -- If you feel like it, feel free. It may be silly, but silly BE!

=> 🤔 Insights I've made with my tools for fools ( Be a fool! )

All of these are completely new observations and inventions of mine from recently, after I started using my mind techniques. Before then, I lived for almost a decade with a very closed mind, out of all creative energies, all I did was boring & repetitive. And now, look at this! Also wanna get creative?

  • 🖼️ Da Vinci the Creativity Cheat: Caught Left-Handed! While studying antiquity & the previous Renaissance, I stumbled upon da Vinci's notebooks: Why would someone torture themselves for 14,000 pages all their life writing sillily, backwards? Maybe, to become more creative, as an artist, or smth? Now, what's more, how come Ancient Greek geniuses used the same technique? I tell you: He stole it from 'em! And one more thing: Now, I've stolen it from him, and I'm sharing it with you. If Da Vinci & the Greeks were the brain rich, brain hoarders... and I'm your personal dealer Robin Hood for abundant brain powers. And very soon, I'll multiply myself. Through the Silly digital platform!
  • ⚙️ Antikythera Mechanism: Ancient Greeks Could Have Discovered America! I've always been a fan of the antics, Romans and Greeks, so I had to study the Antikythera mechanism as well. When I watched the two-part documentary by DW on the previous Renaissance, previous until we'll now build a new one with Silly, I heard of these "almanacs", these books made by astronomers in the 1400s, 1500s, full of star positions by year, month, day, years in advance, that seafarers would take with them when they were sailing from Europe to discover America, Africa, Asia, and.. Australia? Is that all the continents? Anyway, I'm trying to kind of come to the point. Oh, yes - it's the fact that on a sea voyage far from land, without GPS you only have the stars, the constellations, and the moon at night to navigate yourself by. But, the thing is, their positions keep changing throughout the year, and also long-term throughout the years. And, it turns out, the gear-box machine with a hand-turned crank that Ancient Greeks made 2 centuries BC that has baffled today's researchers for decades since found in a shipwreck, was actually a phenomenal prediction machine for sailors, groundbreakingly innovative, and super easy to use - just turn the crank one unit per each day or week or whatever, and you're good to go! Or, sail. It had remarkable technology for its era, exceeding even Renaissance technology, and it was able to help you do technologically, interactively, the exact same thing as you'd have to do manually with these boring Renaissance "almanac" books with star positions more than one and half a millenium later. The Antikythera mechanism was built to enable sailors to predict the positions of the moon and star constellations years in advance and sail far from the Mediterranean, all the way to the West. If they did, Ancient Greeks would have probably discovered what we now know is America 2 centuries BC. The only reason why they did not, why there was no ancient Columbus (except for Vikings once, who had it easier from the north) traveling the world with this Antikythera mechanism is that there was only one piece made with no backup, which sank with a ship carrying it (possible to Rome from Rhodes) near the island Antikythera (hence its name). And, possibly, the genius inventor of the mechanism (probably one of these: Posidonius, Hipparchus or Archimedes) did not leave enough details on how to reconstruct it, or, if they did have plans, they could have burned in the library of Alexandria, or otherwise gotten lost. People didn't have a Wikipedia back then, or the internet. If an idea got lost, it was lost. Now, this is a wild new alternative history theory, and a lot of Native Americans will, probably, find this thesis or history essay of mine scary, which I'm sorry about, and I'm sending a prayer to their souls. Others might see it differently. Well, we don't get to change history, only understand it better. I myself see this essay as a lesson in how important it is for us humans around the world to work together and keep up some kind of collective spirit of knowing things and knowing where the world is headed and the great arts and philosophy and so on so that great innovations and helpful ideas never get lost for this long. How do we store our entire civilization's corpus of knowledge? Is someone building some kind of "humanity encyclopedia" or something, by which I mean, a much more detailed Wikipedia, that would get stored in various technological modes, including some extremely durable paper, then aluminium maybe, and then those glass-printed zeroes and ones and some other mediums like these? If not, I think it's a good idea to do so. I think we'll make it as a species, but backups never hurt. We already have the Svalbard seed vault for potential agricultural apocalypses. But what's here to save us in a "potential" knowledge apocalypse that "might" be happening at some point in a future not so far, far away?
  • 🌌 The Warpception Cosmology Theory. I'm a little busy right now working on sharing these amazing tools with you through Silly, so I'll keep this as a todo. Let's just say that I think there is a good chance the observable universe is a black hole that is a warp bubble in a larger universe pocket, a "higher-layer universe", and the ones we are observing here in ours are warped the other way round and lead to "lower-layer universes". And this kind of nesting might be going on for many layers in both directions, potentially, without bounds, at least for the getting smaller part. There are some equations out there like Einstein's own or Einstein-extending gravity equations for a black hole's radius and mass where this checks out, as I was surprised to find out via a YouTube video by Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson. And so I keep working on it here and there. Some ideas associated with this theory I'm calling the "Warpception" theory of cosmology are that there might be no dark matter or dark energy, just imprecise Einstein's equations, which might be a very accurate approximation of the true equation we haven't written yet on a certain interval of measurement scales, like from atoms to nearby planets or our galaxy, but if you go smaller (smaller than subatomic particles) or larger (galaxies, clusters, superclusters, filaments, whole universe - or the observable part of it?), it stops working. That's an idea I got inspired by my early-2010s Numerické metody class with Prof. Mirko Navara at ČVUT Prague, where we studied the approximations of non-polynomial functions with polynoms in Matlab, I think. But I still have a lot of work to do on the mathematics of the warpception theory and then inventing new space rockets, efficient engines, and maybe warp-speed travel, or at least quantum teleport? The thing is, I am very good at visualisations and intuitive ideas, some of which might be actually correct, but, I'm a bit rusty on math, I'll be glad to work on it with more experienced scientists. So if you are curious about winning the Nobel together and sharing the prize money (around $1.2M or so), find my contact info on this site or just meet me in person (a popular method of communication for some of my fans and muses, recently, just please make sure I actually recognize you and believe it's really you so that I don't "chicken out", as one idiot has called it).

Living in Czechia, English was always a mystery to me. I barely ever learned internationally (except for a 2-week lang. trip to Scotland, 16 yrs ago), plus, I was a dick. Until silly mojo hacks yeah baby, shall we joke now, or joke later?

  • Why is it so difficult these days for a human to be on the internet, online? Because everything “on” the internet now seems too “off” and "out of line”!
  • Why did the DJ come to the club in the costume of a soup? Because last time he had heard that he should come dressed as “Disco Stew”!
  • What name did the oriental magician give to the snake that makes those magic moves when he plays the flute? The name is Abra. Abra da Cobra.
  • When the startup entrepreneur was surfing out on the open ocean, why did he hire a band to play music next to him? Because if you meet sharks on the ocean, you will need a lot of band-aid!
  • World's worst shoe commercials:
    • "Don't walk behind the woman in high heels! She'll probably have a booby trap!"
    • "Why did our shoe company make a success switching into software? Because when you a pair of shoes, you don't need us anymore for 3 years. Whereas with software, we can always shoehorn in extra add-on services!"
    • "My company's herbal products work really well, and I can wholeheartedly recommend all of our herbs, and you can eat the herbs everywhere, don't worry. There's just a big warning, a huge disclaimer, if you will: As I found out the "hard" way, you may get kicked out of a nudist beach if you eat too much sandalwood!"
  • John Spark goes to his webcam and says: "Wait, what if I record myself... myself?"
  • A man storms into his boss’s office, in a dirty suit, messy hair, some kind of powder all over, and he says: “Look, John, I know I was joining a bakery company, but I thought you were talking of MONEY when you said your product managers were… rolling in dough!”
  • Why can the moon go to the proctologist but the sun can not? Because the proctologist cannot find the dark side of the sun!

SOURCES

There's a lot of paper books, e-books, vids, games, science, meetups, courses,
That inspired me to visit all the weird human mind's secret places,
Inspired both by my silliness and by the well-read sages.

  • 🧠 Scientific Brain Research - I’ve always been very interested in how the human brain works, memory, learning, brain aging, rejuvenation, and also social phenomena, such as how many people we can remember, or how we can recognize faces, sounds, et cetera. I knew I was gifted to start with, but when I worked as a tutor helping fellow students who learned slower, I felt sad for them and was often wondering if there was a way how I could help them not just learn extra mathematical tricks to pass that specific subject in that specific year, but rather teach them brain tricks for their entire brain to learn faster - anything. I couldn't think of anything back then, and my attention switched to futuristic topics like AI, algorithms, AGI. And so, when I was choosing my college in 2011, I chose computer science and AI. However, through there, through various additional or extra-curricular courses on the brain, I got into brain science. I would read a lot of scientific papers on the brain e.g. from Nature, Frontiers, or PubMed, I attended many different lectures, workshops, meetups, conferences on the brain, I took part in some brain studies as a student partificant at MFF UK Prague (I'm not even gonna go into the details of how much of a "human brain guinea pig" I became when I was in my silly house, or, the other silly house), and I eventually also became something of a brain scientist myself when I took part in cutting-edge brain science research through my part-time science collaboration on a visual cortex research project throughout 2018-2020, where I had a two-week internship in Gif-sur-Yvette Paris, a neuroscience laboratory, where I focused on working with raw brain data and spike sorting, but I also talked to a lot of different researchers in various branches of science and saw other neuroscientists' brain experiments.
  • 🎭 Applied Improvisation & Improv Theatre (“Impro) - The most life-changing experience I’ve had amongst all the workshops have been the ones focused on improvisation. It has a lot to do with Da Vinci's principle of "sfumato" (uncertainty) and Leonardo himself was reportedly a great jokester and improvisational singer. As for myself, since first graduating from a one-week full-time applied impro workshop by Škola improvizace in Prague in 2018, I’ve played some impro on the stage, gave an impro workshop of my own, gave a standup comedy show at an improv conference, and even appeared on the official, SFW & not illegal-spy-recorgings TV (one times and counting). However, the biggest progress I've made is the numerous silly impro solo games & brain exercises in the silly house the first ca. 2024 to now.
  • 🧩 Creativity Exercise Books, Workbooks, Paper Games - When I was in my childhood and teenage years, I liked to train my brain with exercises from my grandma Alena, Czech teacher, I would also read books about creativity such as “Trénink paměti a kreativity 2“, or do the crossword puzzles I would find in newspapers and TV programme weekly magazines. As I got older, I started developing many different games and tricks of my own.
  • 🎩 Magicians’ Mind Tricks - I would also study the various mind tricks, mind illusions, and also memory tricks and brain hacks shared by magicians such as Derren Brown in his book “Tricks of the Mind”, or one TV show where the masked magician (Val Valentino) both does tricks on stage first, and afterwards shows step-by-step how exactly they work. I’m something of a magician myself, and I’m also about to start revealing my own secret games and methods for brainpower, creativity and relaxation. Are you ready?
  • 📕 How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci - Michael J. Gelb (1998) - This is one my main sources of wisdom that have helped me undecipher the incredibly creative mind of Leonardo da Vinci. The author discusses the seven principles of thinking differently he was employing in his artistic practice and innovation workshop alike: 1] Curiosità (having a curious, open mind), 2] Dimostrazione (learn by doing), 3] Sensazione (honing your senses with silly exercises), 4] Sfumato (embracing uncertainty), 5] Arte/Scienza (combining art and science), 6] Corporalità (being multi-talented), and 7] Connessione (learning and seeing things in connection with other things). I really liked it when I realized that years before I read this book, I had actually been reinventing the same Da Vinci’s same brain methods independently, just adapted to the today’s modern life surrounded by digital technology. That makes me both undertand these principles really intuitively and also uniquely positioned to turn them into practical solutions, products and services that you can easily apply to your own brains, creative endeavors and personal lives. And I'm very happy to be finally doing this, now with the official launch of this venture. Feel free to check my bookings and everything else here at Silly.
  • 📕 The Anxious Generation - Jonathan Haidt (2024) - This recent book about the global decline in mental health of the past 10-15 years due to addictive digital technology, COVID and now AI has started a movement amongst both Gen-Z and Gen-alpha humans and their parents towards a future with less anxiety, loneliness and depression and more human agency, connection, and joy of living, with concrete steps outlined in a practical workbook called “The Amazing Generation” co-written with Catherine Anne Price. Here in The Anxious Generation, the author Jonathan Haidt rightfully blames not just the unfortunate COVID-19 pandemic, but mainly mass social media and addictive internet / phone apps that make our human interactions more odd and weird-feeling because of the following: 1) they are often not real-time but rather turn-based 2) they are not embodied, instead in 2D virtual screens 3) communications online on socials are 1:many instad of 1:1 or 1:few with way too many strangers pushing their opinions on us and forcing us to react and keep up with the information overload, and 4) there’s no longer a high bar for entry/exit with digital social groups and relationships that would motivate us to develop strong social skills, create lasting bonds and repair rifts like before when it’s now way too easy to switch and go somewhere else. More topics include: digital platforms’ protection of minors, or the lack thereof, social media judgement & hate, loneliness & disconnection, doomerism & fear, cognitive overload & overstimulation, 2D virtual screen instead of 3D real world, short videos & attention issues, notifications, notifications, email, notifications, notifications, message, email, notifications, notifications, notifications and more notifications… Enough. Let’s win our humanity back and take charge of our lives again. We can’t get back to a world without any technology, but we can definitely start using technology in a far more enlightened way. If BOLD was the #1 book inspiring me to start any impactful entrepreneurship project, then The Anxious Generation could well be the #1 book, or one of such, explaining to me what exactly the problems of our today’s society are that I might want to help us resolve with such a project. Then, all the other books like “How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci” could be blueprints for how exactly to work towards such a positive change. And the concrete solutions? That’s all the years and years of work I’m doing and other people will also soon be doing under the Silly company or as their partners and associates, all the wellbeing games and exercises, the brain apps and games, the discovery platform for creative arts and wellbeing, the various physical artifacts and paper games and products stimulating our human imagination, 3D thinking and helping us improvise, online and offline courses, art works, learning materials, paper notebooks, maybe even a new phone or something like that, and all the other things we’ll be bringing to you over the coming years, definitely at least until 2050, given how much work there is to be done.
  • 🌐 Wikipedia - I like the encyclopedic-style knowledge format. On Wikipedia, I can find the most core and conceptual-level information on a wide range of topics related to human wellbeing, brain science, psychology, philosophy, spirituality, shamanism and many others. With biography pages, I can also easily find more books and works made by authors who I only know from one book, one lecture or one article.
  • 🎓 Online Courses, Lectures & Podcasts - There are lots of courses on topics like yoga, meditation, health & wellness, spirituality, astrology, on sites like YouTube, Udemy, Coursera, EdX et al. I myself have seen a lot of them, but have been more of a book person recently. If I can recommend some, it’s been a mix of TED Talks or other conference lectures from many different speakers, really. However, there’s one channel I’ve been watching long-term: Huberman Lab by Prof. Andrew Huberman. I’m also looking forward to the new upcoming book Protocols by him (September 2026?). I’ll list more courses or YouTube videos here sometime.
  • 🔥 Own failings, burns & lessons learned the hard way - This is one of the best ways to achieve a lot of wisdom: Just live a life, don’t be afraid to be curious and follow your heart, and… you’re guaranteed to fail a lot of the time, aside from the happier moments. Then, and you’re guaranteed to remember those failings well, and many of them will inform your future endeavors in a constructive, useful way. That’s what life is all about!
  • 📕 BOLD: How to Grow Big, Create Wealth, and Impact the World - Peter Diamandis and Stephen Kotler (2015) - The book that inspired me to set out on my journey towards positive-impact entrepreneuship, which turned into an 11-year odyssey, which turned into this.

I have fun and live the hippie dream
Sharing the vibe with whoever goes by
Spreading love, letting the sparks fly
And when I finally let fellow hippies join?
I can't know, I'll film how I flip a coin
The heads say "You're English, Powers, Bond!"
And the tails? "Whoever you are, VIBE ON!"

Inspo by... big black birds
Image: "iMade breakfast (money) for the birds" (taken Sun, Aug 23, 2026, morning, Prague, Czechia, edited)
Comment: Another picture from my block 5 room 025 window, this one is a special one. In the morning of Aug 23, 2026, the big black birds (not blackbirds but rooks, according to Merlin the bird sound app) are eating oat flakes I served them the night before. I bought the oat flake package from Manni Mini Market (M3) at Strahov for 25 CZK after returning from my second busking evening gig, where I would sing “a cappella” supported by karaoke tracks in headphones and on my phone’s screen, just as I would do it in my sillly houses and flats for the two years before, just for infinitely less money. I found it quite natural and many people watched and smiled, some even danced along. When I was singing some of the punchline refrains really well, one person even looked at my hat with genuines interest as if they liked it and wanted to contribute money, but then I read their changing facial expression as, “Oh, we’re not supposed to give him much money yet,” and then he turned his head away and kept walking. Anyway, location-wise, on Fri, Aug 21, I was at Metro Kacerov Prague 8-9pm, where the two policepeople forced me to start singing (because I was still getting ready but my hat was already out, and it looked as if I was “begging”, which as a busking singer I would definitely be not), and also on Sat, Aug 22 on the opposite side of the river Vltava at OC Smichov Prague 8-9pm where two different policepeople forced me to stop singing (because the alternating hours rules apparently apply to the entire two halves of Prague as they’re split by the Vltava river, not just for the immediate river banks, as the AI tool mistakenly advised me). But, no matter what, each of the two times I made 20 CZK (a bit over 1 Canadian dollar), plus a beer the first time round. So from the 40 CZK I made (I had drunk the beer already), I spent 25 CZK on the value package of oat flakes to the birds, which makes for 2 very generous breakfasts. I even got to eat a little second dinner myself, with pineapple chunks, cashew nuts, cinnamon and cardamon. I’m already looking to serving the second breakfast to the birds soon. Also, I’ll keep singing to keep making them happy!

Comment: This is a picture from the morning after my first street art performance from last evening (Fri, Aug 21, 2026), where I made my first 20 CZK coin and 1 beer as a John Spark / Silly, or at least, when it comes to the street art performance part. Not saying anything about how much I made or did not make or could have made from any of the other parts of this wide-ranging one-of-everything renaissance enterprise future next big thing thing. I'm also not saying anything about whether before I made the decision to go singing there had or had not been any fourth game of poker this vacation of mine from 4pm plus the delay of the Uber for a chance to win a ticket to the Czech poker tour tour-nament and/or (&/) any (first out of two) canceled anything with an Italian (?) girl or wasn't because it had already been less than 3 hours before the yoga class would be starting or anything else related to this. In any case, here is a picture of a bird. I always enjoyed watching the birds from this magical dorm room. Here I am watching, through the grey shades of my window (technology designed to protect the privacy of the poor people on the other side), how the woodpecker is taking a break between the multiple drillings with their beak into the earth. Wonderful.

Inspo by... I randomly started writing “I sold my soul” in reverse with pencil next to my daily nutrient diary but changed my mind mid-sentence and wrote “my sole iPhone” and then I decided to turn this into this day’s OMT poem because of another habit: forcing myself to do one small thing (poem, song, picture, story) but do it every single day.
“New Spark”

I sold my sole iPhone
I lost three poker games
But I didn’t sell my soul
I feel free - never be the same!

Powers by... a different experience (playing poker)
Inspo by... business lecture listing: "managing anxiety during negotiations"
Image: "Learn Different"

I reconnected with my passion for playing poker Texas Hold’em after 15 years. It’s both a game of skill and luck, popular with many scientists and entrepreneurs, and it used to be a hobby I loved and also the topic of my very first successful website and I only let it go due to law changes in my country in January 2012. Last Friday, I played a poker tournament just for fun, but on Monday after, when I was searching for business lectures and found the topic “managing anxiety during business negotiations”, I decided to play poker one more time, and then Tuesday one more more time, because I realized it was helping me experience new emotional states (I’m all about exploring emotions now as a wellbeing entrepreneur) and also train for high-pressure situations where I need to make decisions quickly and also read people, make educated guesses on what the other players might be thinking or what they might be thinking that I might be thinking, and so on. I may have lost a little bit of money this time round, but I won something else – a different type of a learning experience, and I got tougher and more confident. The day after, Wednesday, I also experienced one more thing: I knew I already needed to switch focus back to Silly, but I wanted to go play again so much that I had to use all my might to overcome this addiction-like mind state. I played some mental games, and then I succeeded. Instead of going for a poker tournament on Wednesday evening, or another entertainment event, I went to the library at my not-alma-mater university (MFF UK = my first failed university kourse) and return my books on the human brain. Plus, while playing the poker games and then after, while fighting the addiction, I invented new brain exercises that’ll inform new Silly coachings & games. To wrap up, I’ll share this picture from my room where I use items on my desk and my computer display to creatively learn to guess poker players’ cards from their playing and their body language on a Czech poker show (Česká Pokerová Tour 🇨🇿 Rebuy Stars Oaza Kladno, one of the episodes, YouTube) by covering only the parts of the screen showing cards or win probabilities (with paper, a ruler, or a mini-towel) and I switch off the commentary sound talking about the cards. I can watch each round with missing cards, see the bets, stacks, body language, and make predictions. Then, after each round I compare my predictions with what’s on the screen. As you can see, not only do I like to think different and feel different, but also learn different. Creativity for the win! Or, at least, for the experience of it!
