Modern human life exists as a scale of 0 to 99, where a 0 is the sad soul living on a cold big city street with absolutely nothing, not a penny, starving and dying.

A 99 has it all, the billionaires. And between the two is an amazingly relative structure of levels that change as they interact. Back in my early seventies programming days we called these Level Breaks, but I digress.

Your LSN (Life Scale Number), 0 to 99, defines where you feel you're at right now, relative to everyone else on the planet. We'll put Elon and the Saudis at 99.

The decimal, 0 to 99, defines your self esteem at the moment, changing often, it's your how the fuck do you feel about yourself number.

So I'll start it off, my LSN is 23.77. Far from 0.0, where I have been a couple of times before.

I'm living in a nice quiet little place now, stash running out, but still alive and creating a new number system.

My .77 self esteem number represents my levels. There were many moves I made in life that changed my direction, and I regret none of them, because I wouldn't have the ones I love, in my life now.

Self esteem involves integrity, and you have to factor it in from your beginning, to where you are right now.

Mine is damned solid now, just damaged, so 77 it is.

Here's my 23.77 world, with an empty chair:
