But generally basic lifestyle optimization comes before nootropics: first of all good sleep, diet, exercise, meditation. Then make sure you dont have any dietary-definciencies in key nutrients associated with brain-chemistry: fatty-acids, b-vitamins, amino-acids. So you dont have rate-limiting factors causing you to work below baseline. And then you can play with nootropics to go above baseline.

Yeah, Qualia Mind is my base stack, which Ive been using for over 1 year consistently and I notice a subtle, but definite and comprehensive increase in attention, calmness, presence and predisposition towards positive emotional-states. I also played with Noopept, Piracetam, Alpha-GPC and Nicotine. The overall best mental-states and increase in cognitive-capacity with most upsides and zero to almost no downsides I experience on Qualia Mind + 10 gram of Creatine + 5mg of Nicotine.

Insights from the longest study ever done on longevity and happiness. Very basic insights, but so fundamental! Very pleasant watch.

Im in!

I must admit it felt like a bit of work to watch through all those and sometimes it felt like a lot of repeating - especially after all the years following the work. But overall this grand synthesis and deconstruction of rationality is really groundbreaking and at the same time the insights so painfully lacking everywhere in culture. I encountered exactly these rationalist cognitive-biases presented so many times in conversations - especially in academia. Im sure I will have stronger arguments next time Really outstanding work!

Pretty interesting!

Over the years I always collected my notes, knowledge and a lot of useful resources in my commonplace book on OneNote. It was really helpful to keep track and re-visit all the stuff I learn and now with the update to the windows11 version I cant use the old version anymore and the new made my commonplace book totally messy and doesnt work as well and easy in my opinion. What is the best alternative? I mostly valued that it was so easy and quick to use and worked and synched effortlessly between my phone and pc.

When I come out of a deep psychedelic experience from 5 Meo Malt, the message is always: "This life is precious and a gift, one should value and honor this life, this body and this earth.", not "Fuck it, consciousness is eternal, can do whatever I want, many more lifes to come".

It makes a lot more sense if you see his larger message is bigger than just archieving immortality. Yes Dont Die is his headline message, and immortality makes his whole project spicy, but his project is very much geared towards humanity not destroying itself and the earth - i.e. the metacrisis. It is about preserving life and honoring existence, because existence is beautiful, which is very much what you get in the afterglow of a deep trip.

Nice! Fun fact: my father made music with Klaus Schulze, they had a project together under the pseudonym "Wahnfried":

Wow, thanks for your comprehensive answer! Im still kinda procrastinating with making the transition, since Im a bit frustrated that my notetaking system is a mess right now, but I for sure will since I got a lot of value out of my commonplace book over the years. When I make the time I will watch the videos, Tiago is great!

Yeah, I also liked the simplicity of OneNote. But I find the new win11 version less elegant and also my notes didnt travel well to the new version, many notes lost and my commonplace book is a whole mess.

@bazera No, never tried Notion. Thx guys, I will check them both out!

She may value money and strategically search out men with money, but such calculations can never create the real thing. Like Zizek said, that if you can name the exact attributes why you love someone its not true love.

Almost feels false to just buy it for 6,50

He sells the kindle version for 6,50? is this an error?

Nice! Cannot wait to get it.

I definitely wouldnt bet on 5-MeO for longevity, but psylocibin seems very plausible to me.

But I honestly believe or intuit that there might be something to the relation of psychedelics and longevity or health. The psychedelic-experience definitely feels very much like a whole system reset and I would argue this is not limited to phenomenology, but also has some physiologic correlation, some of which already backed up by data. I think its an cool experiment to investigate this more thoroughly. The field of longevity expands through people like Bryan.
