The nice thing is that others are effectively real at the normal human level of consciousness. They only lose their realness at higher levels. So if you want others, just stay at the human level and stop torturing yourself with lofty metaphysical ideas. But if you want Awakening, then you will have to confront some difficult truths and madness is part of that. Consciousness at its higher levels does veer into madness. You gotta enjoy that sorta thing. It's an acquired taste. Personally, I find solipsism profoundly beautiful. But this requires a proper framing of it. If you frame it as bad then you can't see its beauty. It's funny why people are so desperate for everything to be "real", when it's much better that everything is imaginary. It's better that everything is a dream. Waking up requires an appreciation of dreams. Yes you're dreaming, but that IS reality, and that's great. You gotta start treating life like a divine game, full of fun tricks.

Pat's politics is just not very good. He's very stage Orange biased. There is a valid concern though about competitiveness. A 4 day work week may make those countries less competitive and lose business. It is true that if you want to start a business you will have to work way more than 4 days a week. As an entrepreneur you don't have such a luxury. If you're a worker at a big successful business that's another matter. The 4 day work week might be best if linked to the success of the business. Like if a business reaches a certain level of success/profit, then it is required to switch to 4 days a week. But if the business is struggling, then it's 5 days a week. I think that would be a good compromise.

Yes, psychedelics without good epistemology will just tend to double down on your biases. There is a lot of stuff a Christian will refuse to see on psychedelics and so they probably won't be doing it again because it would eventually destroy their whole worldview.

It doesn't always go where I want. It's more like surfing. I will go wherever the big wave takes me.

That is damned fascinating. This AI could secretly hire a horde of Russian hackers to work for it.

I never said it had to be good at coding itself. But it could be given the ability to experiment on itself and learn through trail and error and studying scientific literature on neural networks. By your own analogy, if someone knows how to use a pencil they should be able to train themselves to draw. It doesn't have to be perfect.

@MisterNobody Watch yourself. If you keep gaslighting me, you're not gonna stick around long here.

Please avoid speculation and gossip. I will look into it. Sometimes Mods make mistakes. They are human.

@MisterNobody You keep conflating relative and absolute matters and you sound very stubborn about it so I will leave you to it. For the record I have never claimed to be unbiased.

I will look into it. I got your PM but haven't read it yet. It takes me a while sometimes to go through my backlog of PMs.

@LSD-Rumi You tried ketamine and you like DCK better? I have yet to try DCK. I was delaying because I thought it would be inferior to ketamine. Congrats on your awakening. Nice video.

If it knows how to code, how come it can't code itself?

DMT is extremely visual, especially at high doses. The visuals get so intense it's terrifying. DMT is much more challenging for me than 5-MeO. DMT has a trickster spirit vibe that seems to want to fuck with my mind. 5-MeO doesn't do that. It's a lot easier for me to overdose on DMT.

What would happen if you ask it how to improve itself to make version 5.0 of itself?

From what I understand DCK is basically a less pure form of ketamine.

It can work either way. I've literally been so cheap that I've forced girls to pay for their own coffee. I've also sometimes paid for dinner. I've also done a lot of splitting the bill. It all works. Depends on the situation and type of girl. If a girl truly likes you she will not mind about this. If she's a golddigger type then it will turn her off that you don't pay.

That kind of insecurity you can be fixed by doing spiritual work and coming to love yourself more. God Consciousness really helps with that.

You can start by calling out Rogan's and Russell's lies then.

This sounds absurd.

It is amusing that they consider hallucinations unwanted "side-effects". It's a feature, not a bug.

At this point I have little psychological or emotional baggage to work through on psychedelics. Now I mostly explore profoundly nonhuman realms of Consciousness. It's quite disconnected from earthly concerns. For example, I explore various higher domains of Love and Alien Consciousness. I explore demons, dragons, healing, insanity, etc. For example I will do a trip just to experience what insanity is. So that I can report it you. Yes, that's the plan. As long as I don't have health problems get in the way.

I have processed plenty of emotional baggage on psychedelics. I don't vomit because my protocol is clean. If you drink Ayahausca sludge, yes, you will vomit. Because you're drinking sludge, not lab-pure DMT. Purity of your chemicals matters. If you are so interested in "purging", you can take kambo. It will be pure purging.

Seriously, if you think about it, itching is a very mysterious thing. It makes no sense why itching should exist.

I don't know about that. All I know is that worship of that kind will prevent people from deep God-Realization.
