The core is aluminum. It is wrapped in steel. This should not be a problem. The steel is not merely a coating, it's a solid thick layer. No aluminum is getting through that steel.

I was speaking assuming the conventional scientific paradigm. I was trying to use simple examples that meet the viewer where he's at, since this episode's goal was to use everyday examples to explain holism. This was not an episode about deconstructing the materialist paradigm.

Beautiful imagery. We have a Strange Loop Mega-Thread around here. Lots of examples in there.

The Force is a pretty damn accurate depiction of how consciousness and mysticism works.

Not maybe, definitely. Just look at the reviews of the pan you linked. Look at how the coating scratches off in the pics. All ceramic coated pans scratch off like that. And where do you think that coating goes? In your food.

@Recress Change all your plastic for steel/wood.

You are dreaming up the universe, and humans too. You are not a human. You are God cosplaying a human. The true intent behind your question is this: could the universe exist without me? To which the answer is an obvious: NO! Since you created the universe.

It's easy if you heat the pan well:

Ceramic coated pans are garbage. They all chip into your food. You should not buy any pan which is coated in anything because all the coating soon flake off.

You don't get it. If you are infinitely conscious, it makes no difference what so ever. All difference is delusion. Again, you don't get it. When you are infinitely consciousness, time ceases to exist and nothing ever ends. - - - - - - Your objections and fears come from an ego that is preoccupied with survival. God-consciousness does not care about such silly things.

A lot of stuff you fry on a pan can simply be baked or steamed, which is much healthier and even less work. If you use foil, you don't even need to clean anything. Charring food is not so healthy.

Jar Jar is God. Jar Jar is Love

The urge to jump is precisely because you're so conscious you realize it makes absolutely no difference whether you jump or not. So why not jump? You want to jump just to prove to yourself that death isn't real and there is nothing to fear. Once, on a high dose of 5-MeO-DMT I got the urge to turn on the stove and press my hand on it, just to see that pain isn't real. So yeah, you do have to be careful. It is possible to do stupid and dangerous things on psychedelics. Psychedelics can eliminate all your normal inhibitions because they wipe out fear. Fear is basically what keeps you alive.

If Richard Dawkins sees this he will drop dead from stroke

No, it doesn't work like that. Such urges on psychedelics are brief. You will not go through all the hassle of going to your care just to get a key to jump out a window. By the time you walk to the your car you will forget you even cared about jumping.

@acidgoofy If you have no food in your stomach how can you vomit? You can't. You might just gag a bit. It's fine. Don't eat for at least 4 hours before tripping. Then you are safe. The stomach digests all its food within like 2-3 hours. Then it is empty.

I get a strong urge to jump out the window on DMT. The love is so strong it literally makes you want to kill yourself. Mushrooms not so much. Maybe you can bolt a simple padlock on the window and hide the key in your car. Just for peace of mind. Better safe than sorry. People sometimes to stupid things on high doses of psychedelics.

Game A is rampant and inevitable, but each of us as individuals can take actions to minimize it. It's that simple. You can be less Game A-y. You don't follow me because I am a Wall Street or self-help grifter, you follow me because Actualized.org is in some small way above that shit.

@Phyllis Wagner The official procedure is to do it after every meal you cook.

Pointless fearmongering. China is not gonna do anything to America other than maybe undermine American empire outside America a bit. This is needed.

@somegirl If you plan to stay with him for years, I would assume you will get it, even if you are careful. Condoms break, slip, stuff leaks out, etc. It is foolish to expect all those stars to align for years and years. You've already rolled the dice many times and at some point you will roll snake eyes. Its just a matter of time. Given your age, everything I said is twice as relevant because at your age there's little chance you'll stay with him forever, even if there was no STD issue. You have to be realistic that relationships at that age are immature and tend to fizzle out rather quickly. Maybe if you were 40 years old and had no other options and you wanted to finally settle down you might have a case to make. But at 21? And living with herpes for the rest of your life from age 22 onward is really a bummer. The bulk of your sexual life is all ahead of you. Your prime years are 20-35. Don't squander it.

Not relative to their profits. Companies struggle to compete with Amazon regardless. Amazon does not employ that many people. It would not be a problem. And if other companies followed suit, it would be good for most workers. Yes, it is complicated. But the current way capitalism runs will simply not last. It will crumble because it is fundamentally exploitative. That does not mean socialism per se, but it means serious systemic reform. Yes, in a sense old folks are leeching of the young.

Yes, it certainly is. But that is not the same as a girl giving you advice about how to attract girls or how to be a man. A girl can tell me her perspective, but I don't need her advice for how to do what men do. She has no clue about that and will give bad advice. She does not understand the obstacles that men face in this domain and the pragmatics of the situation.
