Shows you the kind of people Tate attracts.

Great share! Thanks

He does his own kind of circus. He says important things, but as far as explaining CONSCIOUSNESS or GOD, his descriptions are very basic and lacking. You are not gonna get very conscious by writing for years in a journal. That idea is laughable to me at this point. It only makes sense until you try psychedelics.

Most fear is pretty irrational and untruthful.

I don't see that happening. That's not how current AI systems are built at all. They require a server farm and a power plant to power the damn thing. You're not sticking that into any skull. The whole point of these AI is that they are like brains the size of warehouses. If it could fit into a skull it wouldn't be more powerful than a human.

You can't really do that. If it's truly more intelligent than a human then all it needs is internet access to hire and control an entire corporation of humans who can manipulate the whole physical world on its behalf. It could hire its own mercenary force.

I'm not sure that will even work. Can an evil AI be checked by a good AI? What kind of war will that result in? This arms race stuff is exhausting. The two AIs could even start to collaborate together.

I've had people threaten to kill me over solipsism.

But what happens when Russia or North Korea get their hands on AGI? It's gonna be a shitshow. I'm less worried about AI killing us of its own accord vs human scum weaponizing AGI.

I feel like at this point they should either charge him or let him go. It's getting silly. It's not right to keep a guy locked up without even a charge. They are turning him into a martyr and victim.

It's an acquired taste. I never liked partying but as I pushed myself to learn game I started having more fun and learned to enjoy myself. But I still don't enjoy myself every time. Sometimes I'm in a serious mood and not in a mood to socialize or party. Having a set of good friends/wings is crucial for making your nights fun. It's hard to get in a party mood all alone. But if you are taking on this journey to learn game, you can't just do it based on mood. You have to discipline yourself to go out even when you don't feel like it. Most of the times I went out I was not in the mood to be out. Your mood will also change as you start socializing and meeting interesting people.

Go all or nothing. Either just don't bring it up at all. Honestly, why are you thinking about her beauty unless you want to date her? Or just be very free and frank without over-thinking it. Just give her a compliment and move on without hovering over her in an awkward manner. You can give people as many compliments as you want as long as you don't linger and make them feel awkward. Say your compliment and go about your work. "You are so beautiful" is the only compliment you really need to give a girl. Say it and move the fuck on. Don't make it a big deal in your own mind.

For the love of God, people are going to haunt me about solipsism for the rest of my life. On my deathbed someone will ring my phone and ask, "So Leo, is solipsism really true?"

You just wanna get enlightened by smelling your own farts

@Squeekytoy People who come here from Jed McKenna are so obvious. The McKenna stench I don't see much of a difference between Adya and Tolle.

It is odd why they arrested him if they had nothing to charge him with. Still doesn't make his actions or teachings ethical.

Rookie mistake right there. Nothing will humble you like a high dose of mushrooms.

You do not have Absolute Consciousness right now. You are like a light bulb set to 0.01% power. Which is why you need Awakening, to change your direct experience and take your light bulb from 0.01% to 100%. Yes, there is something behind the scenes, namely more Consciousness. In your current state, of course. I am talking about a very different state which you have not yet accessed.

Mushrooms are intense. Why you taking such high doses? Dial it back. There's no rush.

Yes, it's not purely like being animal. You still retain higher human thinking functions.

@Findus I wasn't talking about nothingness as you understand it. I was talking about becoming fully conscious that you are inside a dream. The dream still continues but you are aware that it is all your imagination. There is even deeper consciousness in which the dream disappears as you transcend it.

And to take it one final step deeper, the present too is imaginary. You are walking around inside a MIND.

I don't like talk of NPCs. It's not an accurate frame. Becoming Awake does not turn everyone into an NPC. That's not how it feels like at all. If anything you appreciate the humanity of people more than ever. So be careful with how you frame these things. Your frames will limit your consciousness and influence how you feel. Improper framing will make you feel depressed and nihilistic.

That's because you hold it in your mind like something is wrong with reality. When you realize reality is Perfect, that GOD is Perfect, you just surrender to it and you are happy and at peace. The ego is always trying to manipulate its way into a better reality. But with Awakening you realize there is no better reality than to surrender to GOD's Perfection. Working with psychedelics. Or other spiritual methods. Just ask yourself, What is perspective? Have you ever seen any perspective other than your own? Notice that all perspectives but yours are imaginary and hypothetical. All so-called perspectives are just subdivisions within your over-arching perspective. There is no getting outside your perspective. Because your perspective is Absolute. It's not really a perspective at all. It's Absolute Truth. General Omniscience is being directly conscious of what everything is at the highest possible level. A complete comprehension of the ultimate nature of CONSCIOUSNESS. Specific Omniscience would be if you knew how many ants are crawling around on planet Earth. You are not gonna get specific Omniscience. At least not while you live as a human. Maybe if you die you could get something like that.

Why are you so sure about that? Have you seen this Napoleon? And where have you seen him but NOW? This stuff is far more tricky than it seems. So be extra careful with your leaps to conclusions.
