Curious, is it a Peter Ralston intensive?

This makes sense to me because ketamine makes me formless but I've never realized God on it.

The **Megalodon (Otodus megalodon)** is indeed considered one of the largest predators in history, with some estimates placing it at more than three times the size of a **Tyrannosaurus rex** and even larger than the largest toothed whale, the **Sperm Whale**. ### Megalodon - **Size**: Estimates suggest the Megalodon could reach lengths of up to 60 feet (18 meters). - **Weight**: It is believed to have weighed between 50 to 70 tons. - **Habitat**: Megalodons lived approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs. - **Diet**: They preyed on large marine mammals, including whales, seals, and large fish. - **Sources**: [National Geographic](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/megalodon-sharks-ancient-predator), [Smithsonian Ocean](https://ocean.si.edu/ocean-life/sharks-rays/megalodon). ### Tyrannosaurus rex - **Size**: Around 40 feet (12 meters) in length and 12 to 20 feet (3.6 to 6 meters) in height. - **Weight**: Approximately 9 tons. - **Habitat**: Lived around 68 to 66 million years ago during the late Cretaceous period. - **Diet**: Carnivorous, feeding on large dinosaurs and possibly scavenging. - **Sources**: [Natural History Museum](https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/dino-directory/tyrannosaurus.html), [Smithsonian Institution](https://www.si.edu/spotlight/trex). ### Largest Toothed Whale - Sperm Whale - **Size**: Sperm whales can reach lengths of up to 52 feet (16 meters) for males. - **Weight**: They can weigh up to 45 tons. - **Diet**: Primarily giant squid and other large deep-sea creatures. - **Habitat**: Sperm whales are found in oceans worldwide. - **Sources**: [National Geographic](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/facts/sperm-whale), [Whale and Dolphin Conservation](https://us.whales.org/whales-dolphins/species-guide/sperm-whale/). ### Comparison - **Megalodon vs. T. rex**: Megalodon, at up to 60 feet, is significantly longer than T. rex, which was around 40 feet in length. The weight comparison also favors Megalodon, which could weigh up to 70 tons compared to T. rex's 9 tons. - **Megalodon vs. Sperm Whale**: Megalodon is slightly longer than the largest male sperm whales, which reach up to 52 feet. Additionally, the Megalodon could weigh more than a sperm whale, making it a more massive predator. These comparisons highlight the incredible size and power of the Megalodon, cementing its status as one of the most formidable predators in Earth's history.

I have to agree with you, the deep state won't let Trump win. And, honestly, I think that's just fine. I'm not even totally against magas who say the election in 2020 was rigged, how could I possibly know? All I know is, Trump's bad for capitalism, and some people who are much more intelligent than conservative politicians know it. Plato is pretty well known for disliking democracy, and it's easy to see why. People are tribal apes with little foresight. Why should a bunch of clueless people run society? Not that I think all or even most elections are rigged, but I would be shocked if this upcoming one isn't, to be honest, it's just too important not to be.

A window into the past. John Chau was a fool.

Archosaurs are a group of diapsid reptiles that include all extinct dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and modern birds and crocodilians. The name "Archosaur" means "ruling lizards," and these creatures are characterized by their distinct skeletal features, such as an opening in front of the eyes (antorbital fenestra), teeth set in sockets, and a semi-erect or fully erect posture. ### Key Points about Archosaurs: 1. **Classification**: - **Pseudosuchia**: This subgroup includes modern crocodilians and their extinct relatives. - **Avemetatarsalia (or Ornithodira)**: This subgroup includes pterosaurs and dinosaurs, with the latter giving rise to modern birds. 2. **Evolutionary Significance**: - Archosaurs first appeared in the late Permian period, around 250 million years ago. - They became the dominant terrestrial vertebrates in the Mesozoic era (the age of dinosaurs). 3. **Anatomy and Adaptations**: - **Antorbital fenestra**: A key feature, this hole in the skull in front of the eyes reduces the weight of the skull. - **Teeth in sockets** (thecodont dentition): This feature provides a strong attachment for teeth. - **Erect posture**: This allows for more efficient movement and breathing, distinguishing them from other reptiles like lizards and snakes that have a sprawling posture. 4. **Modern Descendants**: - **Birds**: Modern birds are the direct descendants of theropod dinosaurs and are the only surviving dinosaurs. - **Crocodilians**: This group includes crocodiles, alligators, caimans, and gharials. 5. **Extinct Members**: - **Dinosaurs**: This diverse group included species ranging from the giant sauropods to small, feathered therapods.

Me too. It doesn't seem very good for survival, our intellect is one of our major adaptions.

I feel you on this. I'm currently looking for remote software engineering jobs. That way even if I have to wake up early I can just roll out of bed and log on. I love raves, can't wait til I get out of my college town and move to a big city. I've been seeing New York everywhere, I think God is telling me something.

The more I learn the harder it is for me to define enlightenment. It seems like a catch-all term for describing a ton of different states of consciousness. That being said, I have a meditation instructor who says that after a decade of consistent practice he has no more internal monologue. That seems like "enlightenment" to me. But it might be helpful to distinguish enlightenment and awakening. Enlightenment seems to be about dismantling the ego and attaining a persistent no-thought or nondual state. Whereas awakening is understanding the fundamental structure of reality. Enlightenment is something that can be accomplished naturally with lots of practice, whereas certain awakenings, especially something like alien consciousness, might require chemical assistance.

Crocodiles are more closely related to birds (dinosaurs) than to lizards. Terror Bird Deinosuchus chomping on edmontasaurus

You're not wrong. The guy who sold me acid was an all-around drug dealer . Its a damn shame because that ended up getting him sent to jail.

@What Am I. Oh yes, I see. I didn't realize there was a significant difference between IM and IV

@What Am I his 5 meo dose was probably the same as yours. IM is exponentially more potent than smoked (for anything) there's a reason that once addicts start injecting they don't go back

dab hash rosin (this could make you catatonic if you're not a veteran), or use a vaporizer with water filtration

The video game anaology would be appropriate here.

I smoked dmt. They started happening randomly for like 2 weeks after that and then stopped.

Where does qualia come from? How does it know how to create qualia consistent enough to create a consistent reality? I believe the answer is intelligence, like the game engine vs the display (qualia) it's somewhat obvious too, 99% of people don't believe they're just whatever experience they're having. Its just that as seekers we get lost in nondualism and naive subjective idealism.

I realized this (clarifying, generic stuff) independently of Leo if you ever get a reading from a really good psychic , you'll know it's true it's only a limit if you're unwilling to level the playing field with psychedelics

Wonderful, the hard problem of consciousness , unfortunately it doesn't say much about other theories ie materialist panpsychism you can also argue directly against physicalism by realizing a material system can't be infinite

You gotta find the diamonds in the rough Nisargadatta, Ralston, Jung are good (as long as you realize you probably won't attain their level of consciousness unless you're as genetically gifted as they are)

Yeah. He also said for adhd it's easier to meditate in a noisy environment. I love meditating in the morning and listening to the birds. Totally agree with him on this (have serious adhd)

Do whatever works . I do both depending on how I feel. Sometimes I want to focus on sounds or my breathing and I close my eyes. Sometimes I want to focus on the wall, how it subtly warps and shifts.
