Visual artifacts or psyop makes the most sense. If aliens can galaxy hop, they aren't getting struck by a 1980s missile. The tech required to avoid getting hit by flying objects is trivial compared to the tech for interstellar travel. If they can galaxy hop, it's highly likely they can avoid detection. But also, if they can galaxy hop and go anywhere they want, they'd already have all their energy needs met, so they wouldn't be here for resources. Or are they trying to spy on us? Not likely, as they would have tech that could spy on us without risking their detection. So what exactly would this alien be doing flying over contested waters where all sorts of surveillance is taking place? None of it make sense. The performative nature of the hearing points me towards a psyop. The government has been at this for a few years now. Not as exciting, I know, but if you lean towards actual aliens, you're choosing to believe that for emotional reasons - the logic doesn't compute.

I’m not buying this. Government is up to something. Their presentation is very performative. If the government did want people to know about these things, it would be stupid to reveal it in this manner. This one and the very first one like it are just over the top performative. It’s a fuckin psyop. You might think, that’s a bit unlikely. More unlikely than aliens secretly doing linear space-time travel on our little planet? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say if it can be rattled by a hellfire, it can’t also be crossing galaxies. If they’ve already mastered wormholes or a similar means of travel, they're almost certain to have defensive capabilities far beyond ours. Object detection and evasion would be trivial. They could simply bend the missile trajectory or completely cloak their craft to be undetectable. Release the fucking Epstein list!!! Also, I learned the other day that the CIA has installed a regular guest on Joe Rogan's podcast who talks about aliens, and the guy openly admits he's in bed with the CIA.

A flow state is a state in which there is only doing, not thinking. And the doing is done without resistance. I often enter flow when I'm completely slammed with work and must get things done in order to survive, but if I only have a little work, I often procrastinate, hesitate, and resist while doing the work, which makes me suffer. When there's no option but to do the work, I enter a flow state because I must. That's what I understand flow state to be. In flow, everything is effortless and there's no suffering. Conscious awareness of all problems disappear via total submergence of the task at hand. After a while, your awareness comes back and you realize you've been working without suffering for several hours.

The letter is to Epstein. Look at the tits.

Oh, they have shame - it's just repressed and often transmuted into authoritarian tendencies.

The right will never admit to themselves that this is from Trump. They will tow the line that this is a hoax because to accept it means they were wrong, and they're too invested to be wrong.

Junk food physically toxifies and kills millions per year and is a leading contributor of poor self esteem. If you had a choice to snap your fingers to solve either the junk food problem or the porn problem, which problem would you solve? There's no contest here. It's not even close to which is the correct answer. Snap your fingers and make all vegetables taste even more satisfying than the best junk food or snap your fingers and make the desire to masterbate to porn go away. And you'd choose to make porn go away? I watch porn. It takes me like 5-10 minutes to make the bald man cry. And when I'm finished, there is no noticeable toxic effect. I think it might be how you're looking at it. To me, it's easier to climax than without, and I just want to get it done, usually. I rarely setup shop with candles. Taking it very seriously can be problematic, but even then, still not comparable to junk food or climate change.

How long to look left and right to reach flow and how long does your flow state last after you stop looking left and right?

Lol. Funny af.

Which is worse, McDonalds or PornHub?

It’s not about intelligence. The biggest genius in the world could easily confuse the two. If you never came across Leo but still did the same amount of psychedelics, you would be thinking what you experienced was just a profound psychedelic state, as opposed to the absolute truth of reality. If no one before you had ever spoken in such a way, I’m betting it wouldn’t have occurred to you that you achieved direct experience of the absolute truth of reality. You looked for something and you found it. That’s typically how it works when you’re looking for a specific thing and refuse to stop looking.

Not everyone is here to confirm or disconfirm Leo’s teachings. You just projected that. Which makes me think you treat awakening like a competition. Congrats on beating out all the fools you left in the dust. If you take psychedelics enough and engage in a specific act of trying to see something, eventually, you will see it. No matter if it’s the most profound truth or biggest falsehood. You can ABSOLUTELY confirm either one on psychedelics if you try hard enough. Next time you trip, try really hard to see that beneath every human is a spirit animal. Once you find the spirit animal, then you will know truth. Until then, you don’t know shit. Imagine if psychonauts around the globe started trying to penetrate the spirit animal because they thought it was the ultimate truth. We’d soon have forums where people would write “ you guys are still talking about nonsense. I have seen the spirit animal and it’s beautiful. I can always tell when someone hasn’t seen the spirit animal”.

If a left-winger refuses to acknowledge porn is bad, that’s not comparable to the right-winger rejecting things like evolution and climate change. The comparison doesn’t make sense. Also, the right largely says porn is bad out of religious dogma or repressed sexuality, not from some intelligent systems thinking.

I always got that sense about Pakman too. In fact, I’ve always thought that if coordination was going on, Pakman and BTC were the main ones in on it. That’s not to say anything bad about them - I think it’s wise given the situation. I wouldn’t go so far as to say Pakman would intentionally spread information he doesn’t agree with, although I’m not sure. There isn’t anything unethical about coordinating talking points. It can be highly effective for spreading ideas when multiple influencers are using the same language and memes. I noticed Kyle K. and Pondering Politics using very similar language lately, and some of the words are too obscure to be coincidence. For all we know, this initiative by Chorus is our best bet at removing these lunatics from the heads of our government. In a war of ideas, what’s a better marketing channel than influencers? I can’t think of any.

They think it's awesome. Half of them think it's some 4D chess move that makes other nations fear us so they respect us and the other half think it's just Trump trolling the left, which they think is hilarious. You're not gonna convince them of anything. I can't believe they actually chose "war.gov". 😂You gotta be shittin' me.

You need coordination in information warfare. I hope they are coordinating.

You're trying to paste a file with the file protocol (file:///) but you should be pasting a URL like "http://" or "https://" Not super familiar with Mac, but I think FlameShot has the automatic upload to imgur, but I'm not sure if it can capture animated GIFs. Basically, you're looking for a way to host the image somewhere online so you can share its location. Maybe look into Raycast. ShareX is nice because I just hit a hotkey to capture the screen region I want, and I have it configured so that it automatically uploads to imgur and copies the URL to my clipboard so I can simply paste it in. The whole process takes me like like 5 seconds. Ideally, you'd look for something like that. Maybe use AI to research your options on Mac.

I think you’re right. Once the older generations die off, things are going to speed up quite a bit and new generations will be able to start off without all the falsehood holding them back. The number of open and wise people will skyrocket, or at least take a more dominant stance in society. This is already happening. It seems as if wise people are elbowing their way to the table in an attempt to usurp the fools. Intelligence is pressing for expression like never before. It's an error to think those raised in the Information Age will evolve at the same pace as the previous generations. Humans have only been on the internet with access to information for about 25 years. 200 years of the internet and AI is going to speed things up like never before.

@Natasha Tori Maru Yes. "Make them human".

Nice!

Calibrate implies assessment. The majority of the U.S is not thinking about politics - they are monkey-see monkey-do. And you know this, which is why you keep bouncing back and forth between sticking to your values or fighting fire with fire. If you're going to fight fire with fire, don't trick yourself that your fire is clean. Because in this case, the fire is memetic warfare. And you know that's not clean. It's getting a bit late in the game to be wishy washy about which strategy to choose. You can either hold to your values, try to sell them, and hope the other side self-destructs, or you join the manipulation game.

Yeah, if you want responses like you get in the browser, you'll have to either use the browser or API for that. But Gemini CLI might suffice.

Even if this particular instance was false, it will inevitably happen. Online talking heads with millions of viewers are of course getting paid to do and say shit, and if they aren't already, it's just a matter of time.

Is it live? What is it?

Yeah, it's insane. You could even write your own notes style or formatting guide and have AI format all your notes based on that. And then just say "format this file:" You can also do things like: "Turn this notes file into a beautifully formatted HTML page that I can share". I just tried that out and it produced this: It opens up a world of possibilities. Since these versions of AI are mostly for tool calls and coding, they don't respond exactly like the chatbots on their websites would, so just something to keep in mind.
