What happened to all the dreams you've dreamt at night? Do they still exist? They are gone. So will this dream you call life. You can move on to other dreams or you can just rest as an infinitely conscious singularity if you get tired of dreaming.

Like I keep saying, reality is your imagination. You are imagining that's the pinnacle And so it is, until you imagine a higher pinnacle. Be careful. Lower your doses or one day you might jump off that balcony and kill yourself. This ain't a joke. You are overdoing it.

Depends on how fat your ass is

@bejapuskas Self-deception is always possible, psychedelics or not. The only solution there is to stay vigilant and don't get too cocky. Be skeptical in an unbiased way. It was traumatizing on the sheer physical level. My physical body could not contain that degree of infinite consciousness such that it felt like my nervous system was getting fried. Imagine what happens if you hook a lightbulb up to a bolt of lightning. The energetic release was so intense it left scars on my fingertips for over a year. The skin on my fingertips peeled and cracked. Infinite Love is the trauma, from the mind's perspective. It's too much for a material body to hold.

Of course. God loves your bias for sushi, which is why you love sushi but hate dog turd, and God will not force you to love dog turd. That's God's love for you. God's love is so great it allows you to hate. God will even allow you to murder someone you hate. Everything IS pure Nothingness. Your question assumes a difference between form and formlessness. That was his bais. There is of course no reason to end suffering other than that you don't like it.

I didn't feel he was triggered. His mind was just trying to be rigorous and so he played a lot of devil's advocate. Which is proper. If anything I would say he didn't challenge me enough because he was trying to be polite. But his inability to understand that nothing can exist outside infinity was pretty stubborn. Not much I can do about that. He sort of assumes that infinity is merely a mathematical notion and he can't stop imagining beyond infinity while not realizing all that is within Infinity. He also assumes Infinity can be reached with logic, which it can't. No amount of logic can get you there.

Yeah, you're dreaming. If you keep dreaming stuff will seem to exist.

Statistically anything will work on some percentage of people. But the question is, isn't there a better use of your time? Like educating people whose minds are not totally rotted. Political action and education is all about efficiency. Your resources are so limited that you must allocate them very strategically and wisely, otherwise it's like pissing into the ocean. 50% of people don't vote or follow politics at all! That's who you should be focused on reaching. It's much easier to educate and mobilize 10 normies than it is to reeducate a single MAGA conspiracy theorist.

The problems are all in the design, the marketing, and the funding. You have to cut corners because of funding. Your funds are always limited relative to the scope of your vision for a game. You will have to cut out 80% of your vision just to ship the damn thing and not run out of funds. No Most games like that require so many man-years of work that even if one person worked on it 24/7 for 100 years, you'd would not finish 5% of the work. The best a lone-wolf developer can make is something small, simple, and indie -- like Stardew Valley.

There's not much to know other than specific games companies are working on, which obviously I don't know. I don't think tech is holding any games back these days. The problems are more in a lack of creativity, risk-aversion, lack of good management, and funding. You can basically make any game you want with Unreal or Unity. The devil is all in the details of the design and the crazy number of man-hours required to actualize it. It's not a technology problem, it's a design and marketing problem. The question is whether that design makes any sense, who would want to play it, and how to get funding to build it.

The infinity symbol is a nice touch

Of course there is a trade-off between depth of consciousness and potential for trauma. You must weight the rewards vs the risks. Trying to get lots of growth very fast will lead to higher suffering. That's like trying to eat a whole turkey in 10 minutes. Expect pain. Definitely. 30mg of 5-MeO-DMT is way too much for me. I try not to go beyond 25mg and I plug instead of vape or snort. The plugging really helps take the edge off. The sweet-spot for me is a medium-high dose, but not a high dose. You want it to be really powerful but not at the point where you freak out. It takes some trial and error to find at what dose that sweet-spot is for you. It will be different for everyone. Also, the more you trip and grow, the more consciousness you'll be able to handle without freaking out. I don't know what you mean by nonsense. I think about stuff nonstop. I don't consider it nonsense, it's part of my integration process.

Cause the stranger is easier to deal with

Curt was sorta confused by it. Because it's very relativistic and strange loopy. And he takes it for granted that other people have some objective reality independent of his mind. As I explained, its like a cone. As you move higher in consciousness towards the top of the cone the divisions between self and other collapse more and more unless finally you reach the pinnacle of the cone which is pure Unity/Infinity/Self. At the pinnacle of the cone only YOU exist. Others only exist at the base of the cone. That point is the Godhead/Infinite Consciousness, where no more distinctions exist. Not even physical distinctions exist there. It's just empty Consciousness devoid of all form. You can become directly conscious that self/other is an imaginary distinction, just like all other distinctions. You don't need to destroy the entire Universe to realize that the entire Universe is nothing more than your personal dream. Do you require the consent of everyone in your dream in order to wake up in the morning? Are you being an evil bastard for killing all your dream characters?

Current science is nowhere close to anything like that. Materialist science cannot be used to create something like that. So there would first have to be a revolution within science. Also keep in mind that a conscious AI would have many of the same challenges that a human ego has. You are basically talking about the science of architecting a super-mind. The psychology of that will be insanely complicated and tricky.

I've had a few bad trips and my highest dose of 5-MeO-DMT gave me some trauma and damage which took about a year or two to overcome and integrate. Avoid high doses and avoid vaping. You want to ease yourself in as much as possible, rather than blasting yourself. Most problems come from blasting yourself.

The most selfless people were killed 10,000 years ago. We are all the descendants of the most selfish, greedy, horny, ruthless, manipulative, narcissistic, and delusional fucks who walked this Earth. That about explains all our problems. Ta-daaa!

There are many different ways that could look. Be careful assuming it only looks one way. But it would entail a lot of time in solitude and deep contemplation & meditation. However you choose to do that.

That's the paradox of it. When God gives a portion of its will and autonomy to something finite, that finite thing behaves in foolish ways. It's like asking, if Albert Einstein was so smart how come his kids weren't as smart as him?

Game over

Talk about recontextualization. I thought this thread was about Gandalf from LOTR

That's easy to explain. Selflessness created the organism. Which is then run by selfishness. This is the difference between God's designs and the ego's designs. A rocket ship could be perfectly designed by a genius. But then you put a selfish fool in charge of piloting it and it will turn into an ugly disaster. Where ego is found, ugliness soon follows.

Be careful with such utopian delusions about Leo.
