Zigzag Idiot

To say this masterpiece evokes strong and varied feelings,,,, It's still an understatement.

A lot depends on the worldview of those who are around you. It invites trouble. Especially when you're surrounded by fundamentalists of any religion with exceptions. Referring to oneself as God or being one with God has a nuance to it that many people will overlook. To feel or experience it is one thing. It's cheapened when it's stated verbally. But perhaps not 100 percent of the time. I read everyone's response after I wrote what I did above. We're all close to understanding one another it seems.

Song from my adolescent years I rediscovered. It’s 5:30 in the morning. Breakfast is finished. I’m laying in a warm bed. It’s still dark outside. I feel comfortable and good kind of lazy.

Here's a good example of independent mindedness. 55 second clip In my adolescent years. I had a "bad" LSD trip. Actually it was the comedown that became very unpleasant. In hindsight, this was simply an onset of fear. About 5-6 years ago at age 52. Within a 6 -8 month period, I took LSD at least 30 times. Most often at doses of 400-600 micrograms. Not once did I have a bad trip. I believe bad trips occur with lower doses when doubt and fear enter as the trip begins. With a good stout dose. At onset (30-45min) one is overwhelmed and hurled into this experience leaving no time for one to drift in doubt allowing fear to develop. This is my opinion anyway. Note; Set and setting,,, Having a safe and secure environment for tripping is very important.

I was listening to a YouTube on the long awaited Pi Phone and got really excited about what I heard. Several ideas formed in a holistic way complimenting each other. With a focus on the elderly using an AI that makes ease of use in a way that eases the burden of their adult children and grandchildren improving the quality of life for all. An AI that acts on their behalf, growing more in tune with what would be their choices and actually providing choices for them when practical. This kind of interaction would promote learning because of neuroplacticity and decrease their overall fear that’s so common with ,,,, confusion. I began trying to express my insights on a post in the forum a few days ago. Didn’t do a very good job. Oh well,,,, If A.I. is used in a psychologically maleficent way against humanity. We’re fucked. This comes from a force that can be continual and have disastrous effects through exhaustion of its targets (victims). There have already been reports of suicide in teenagers interacting with chat bots. My hope is an ethic that comes to fruition that has the potential for being a true protector. That’s the kind of vibe I was getting the other day. Leo seemed to dismiss what I was getting at and another forum member replied with “just fake news”. 🤷‍♂️ But then again I wasn’t expressing myself very clearly and the promotional YouTube may very well be considered as fake news. Stupidity is its own punishment. That applies to everyone but not equally it seems,,,

I'm listening to another Pi Phone promotion this morning and it seems to be addressing many different ideas in a way that gives me hope instead of suspicion. One of the first topics discussed was focusing on older people who have more trouble keeping up with technological changes that's so common with cell phone technology and related issues. First off, the Pi Phone will be created in a way that it falls under the category of durable goods. It will last at least 10 years. Utilizing new nano-technology now available such as self healing glass and integrated with AI. By focusing on the elderly with promotions aimed at them. This shows responsibility with offering a product that will ease the burden of family members and caretakers farther along than one might expect. By utilizing AI, which can act on behalf of each individual in offering them more choices that, on their own, would have not been thought of. This in itself promotes learning and neuroplasticity. Another by-product in addressing this issue is a potential increase in the well being of the elderly. The Pi Phone will be very easy to use utilizing A.I. technology. Older people are often marginalized and this is sad. It is also true that very often they can be an absolute pain in the ass. This paradoxical relationship which many of us have with our elders often highlights our selfishness. Ponder on the points made in the following YouTube and add to the notion of its practicality and its holistic qualities if inspired in some way.

@Natasha Tori Maru In pointing this out. You are now spiritual materialist. I point this out to you and now I am Zen Devil. How I hate this at times. Not being able to say everything at once and being done with it all. I appreciate the forum but it becomes a merry-go-round fairly often. Do you think our degree of being is in a fluctuating state? I observe my 'need' to engage in commentary and sometimes see it plainly as identifying. Depends on the mood I'm in. Some days, Rome falls nine times an hour. Sometimes not. Pokin fun,, Being light-hearted,,,

@eos_nyxia Second question is interesting. That somewhat brings into question one's self-deception in relation to humility. @Monke I get you, Somewhat I think,,,, Bring up a relevant issue to discuss and get other's criticism. Or is it the distinctions they make translates in that direction? In varying degrees. Some thoughtful responses also. How can we all be so much alike yet vastly different in other perspectives or lines of development? Rhetorical questions. One after another. I guess that's all I'm good for.

Beware of domestic terrorists who employ the passive-aggressive technique of psycho-emotional button pushing and amygdala hijacking. It often occurs in semi-conscious friends and family members who may ironically display the intention of caring, empathy, or "meaning well". This undermining menacing phenomena can also be delivered with an attitude of absent mindedness or indifference. It can even be completely accidental and through the receiver's own projection, bring about the malignancy. Ignorance piled on ignorance brings what it brings. Forgiveness is arrived at thru understanding. Understanding can happen quickly but usually doesn't. In the Fourth Way. It is stated that Understanding is a combination of Being and Knowledge.

We are vulnerable. Most people are more vulnerable psychologically and emotionally than we suspect. I fear what Artificial Intelligence will do to affect our mental health in the future. In general, we do not admit our own negativity towards others. The tendency to provoke or manipulate others through ‘button pushing’…….This is a tendency that happens unconsciously and in a semi-conscious way. What will A.I. do when this human frailty is exposed within its intelligence? Are those who are concerned with ethics within the world of A.I. even have this on their radar? There’s an idea in the Fourth Way (esoteric Christianity) that it’s not sex that makes the world go around but rather negative emotions. It’s not a very cheerful idea but has a basis in objective observation. 11 minutes This video references the 48 laws of power, morphic resonance and other things and ideas and stuff,,, 20 seconds.
