  1. @Someone here No one here is free of suffering. Cut the shit.
  2. I see this biohacker stuff like an extended performance art / grift. You create a biohacker public persona and then monetize the shit out of it by selling hope and pills to gullible rubes. Dave Asprey has pioneered that particular art. It's a very sneaky survival strategy. Of course there will be a million dollar book deal, talkshow rounds, overpriced branded supplements, a special trademarked diet, and more.
  3. No easier than it is to delude yourself otherwise. Delusion cuts in all directions. There is no escape from your own bullshit. Any time you think you''ve escaped bullshit, you haven't because your mind is still active.
  4. Now you understand just how much spiritual fantasy all this enlightenment, nonduality, freedom from suffering, unconditional happiness is. Yet more human games. God slapped you around and humbled you a bit, which is great. God is still way beyond your comprehension and state of consciousness still dictates your life. This is a healthy dose of reality. Beware of happy spiritual fantasies of bliss and all that. But also, don't get nihilistic and cynical either. What happened to you is that you acquired an attachment (your son), and now you see how powerful attachment is. And now you can appreciate why every other human is so attached.
  5. @Past-Philosopher-562 I have videos that explain how God-Realization is different from nonduality. Search for my God-Realization video. Beyond that it will require a course, which I have planned but my health slows me down.
  6. And I find that sober life has a powerful delusionary pull. That IS the nature of Consciousness. Whatever you imagine deeply enough becomes reality.
  7. @questionreality I don't listen to any human speaking about spirituality because it is all human nonsense. Nonduality is a narrow state of consciousness humans invented. I have explained this plenty by now. You are dreaming nonduality. There's nothing more to explain. Get it or don't.
  8. Could be 100 different things.
  9. "My speed of aging has dropped to 0.64" This is such BS.
  10. Those are shallow ass questions. You can come up with much better ones.
  11. No. In fact psychedelics make it easier in the sense that you know what to aim for. It is harder in the sense that you might be less motivated to work as hard. But maybe you will be more motivated. That might be a personal difference. My health problems existed regardless of psychedelics. I have a genetic autoimmune disorder.
  12. No president will make you rich. Tokyo is like the most overcrowded and overpriced place in the world. Don't see why you'd want to live there unless you got a killer job from a Tokyo company. Best place really depends on your line of business. If you work remotely the best place might be the middle of nowhere in Montana. Big cities only make sense if you need to be there for work or to get laid.
  13. It is corrupt to the core with ignorance.
  14. Integrity and higher values are one of those things you can't force on someone. He doesn't care about being a value provider. And that is that.
  15. Certainly not. Conscious suffering leads to higher consciousness.
  16. @Ero Then we are on the same wavelength. The sick irony is that if these logicians actually bothered to read Godel's writings on philosophy they would see that he himself was critical of people who do math and logic without any philosophical considerations. In fact, Godel attributes his theorems to his philosophical intuitions. And same goes for Einstein and many of the founders of QM. Because to do groundbreaking work requires philosophical depth. You cannot number-crunch your way into profound understanding.
  17. I wasn't speaking of you in this thread, I was speaking more broadly of people in the field. You don't know how much I have been gaslit by "science" type people about how Godel's theorems mean nothing beyond their strictly formal mathematical applications. It's similar gaslighting that is done with regard to implications of quantum mechanics. "Shut up and calculate" sort of mentality.
  18. If you want a categorical improvement in your happiness that cannot be achieved through any achievement, you just sit down now and be happy by being present.
  19. I have no experience of that. That's not how I experience higher consciousness at all.
  20. One of the things that has helped me cope with my health problems is that I know I can just reincarnate as an alien.
  21. Consciousness is so infinite that not even 1% of it will be captured by all the logic humans have ever done. There are aspects of Consciousness which are completely orthogonal to logic, language, and mathematics. You cannot even connect to them by those means.
  22. Look, part of the way happiness works is that any gains you make just become your default and then happiness gets recalculated from there. It's hard for me to even remember what my life was like 10 years ago. I honestly just forget that state of mind. Yes, it does comfort me to know that death is an imaginary thing. But it's not like I walk around thrilled about it. Happiness just doesn't work that way. Being thrilled about things is a temporary and fleeting state. The reason I'm not more peaceful and happy is because any gains I made from spirituality have been counterbalanced by serious chronic health issues. If I break your spine with a baseball bat you're still gonna be unhappy even if you know that death is an illusion. What you realize is that suffering is worse than death. Chronic suffering from health problems is about as bad as life gets.
  23. We know that's not true because IQ rapidly increased in developing countries over the last 100 years as their mode of living became more civilized and prosperous. IQ has about a 50% heritability. Of course if you are born a chimpanzee then you're stuck with that. Yes, genetics is huge. But it's not the only thing to focus on.
  24. Dude, your advice on this topic is seriously lacking. Nothing in this thread was about that.
