I think there is a severe lack of serious books. And how was I supposed to show my library of ebooks and digital courses there???

There needs to be a JP Sears video where he is making stupid jokes to garner YT likes and then a Zen master slaps him cold across the face. The end.

@Butters Translation: "I HATE myself."

Maya is everything you see around you. Maya is the entire phenomenal world. Especially as it is seen by the dualistic, materialistic, survival paradigm. To make sure you aren't deluding yourself with mystical insights you gotta study and read a lot of different perspectives and cross reference the best sources.

I'm not skilled in astral projection.

I have two big videos about morality which cover this topic. And also the old Good vs Evil video.

I have an old video about gratitude. It was an Xmas special with Santa Hat.

Too self-indulgent.

Basically covered in Distractions video.

Covered in LP Course.

I used to buy Teavana Matcha Tea on Amazon but I think they went out of business recently. Shame, it was good tea.

@tashawoodfall That's what we call a Threshold Guardian. Don't expect to be a rockstar at the beginning. That only comes towards the end. With mastery. Skill has to be learned through failure. So there you go. You got a little taste. Now do it again, but this time 1% better. By the 100th time, you'll have something.

@Gligorije Do you care about knowing the truth?

The really scary thing is that AI will NOT be just a PC sitting in an isolated room. It will definitely be given internet access and it will be installed by the military into planes, tanks, drones, etc. Even with just internet access, a smart AI will learn to: Hack defense department computers Hack banks and steal money and Bitcoins Then use that money and Bitcoins to hire mercenaries, wage propaganda campaigns, dig up dirt on politicians and extort them, cause a stock market crash, secretly fund fundamentalist terrorist groups, etc. If you think Russian troll farms are bad, wait till an AI steals $10 billion in Bitcoins and hires 5% of 3rd world population to work for it. The AI itself will not kill anyone. It will hire humans to do all of its dirty work in such a stealthy way that no one will even know an AI is in charge. In fact, for all we know, an AI was already in charge of starting the Iraq war, electing Trump, starting riots in Paris, popularizing Jordan Peterson and his army of incels, etc.

Mario doesn't think that, YOU think that! So a double-dose of delusion for you

That's rather shortsighted. An AI could be programmed to do something "nice" like solve global warming. And so what it might calculate is that the solution to that problem is to engineer an airborne ebola-like virus to kill off all humans. And that's just a very crude example of how AI will twist in on itself. Where things get hairy is when things get nonlinear and strange loops become possible. Another way to think about this: no human being is programmed to kill people. And yet it happens all the time. Because evil is the result of a survival drive. Once the AI acquires a survival drive -- and it will because the military will want robots who can kill terrorists while defending themselves -- then ego is born and all the evils that come with it. As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Just because no one is going to deliberately program evil AI, the evil will come anyway. Because good and evil are subjective to begin with.

What you don't realize yet is that metal and electrons are consciousness. You are assuming some kind of fundamental duality between mind/body, which does not exist. That is materialism, and it is wrong. Your PC is already made out of consciousness. It just lacks the sophisticated structures necessary for self-reflection, and it lacks a survival drive.

@Serotoninluv Love it! Why haven't they fired you yet for corrupting the minds of the youth with your hippie talk?

You are no more self-aware than Mario. In fact, you're more deluded than Mario. At least Mario does not believe he is real and in control of things. Google's chess AI -- Alpha Zero -- using non-linear neural networks has surpassed the best linear programmed chess program StockFish to be the strongest chess player in the world by, in only 4 hours. It does not use any pre-programmed rules or a library of chess moves. No one knows how it actually works because it is self-taught. A true AI will not be programmed in Python or anything like that. A true AI will be a non-linear system which is so complex no human will understand how it works. It will evolve itself. It itself will not know how it works. Just like how you -- a human -- do not know how you work. Another AI is Leela Chess Zero, which taught itself to play chess better than world class grandmasters:

In my experience stopping acne is almost exclusively about diet. Cleaning up your diet is super important. Certain types of foods cause lots of acne, especially processed foods, fast food, and really any food that you don't cook yourself. I eliminated 99% of my acne when I stopped eating all food expect food I made myself. I think a lot of the cheap oils & fats restaurants use cause lots of acne. Also stuff like whey protein causes lots of acne. Every body is different so you should experiment with an elimination diet to isolate which foods for you are the culprit. Heavily processed foods, snacks, fast food, and junk food tend to be worst culprits. I've found that if a food causes acne, it will cause it right within a few hours of eating it. So you need to closely watch when new acne appears and remember what you ate that day and never eat it again.
