This is an extended version of low hanging fruit logic, and it's possible that there are some low hanging fruits.

I usually get insights when i'm not completely awake in morning or when I'm not completely sleeping at night. Most recent one is about LLMs, basically it became clear like a day to me that while relying on human generated data LLMs can never surpass smartest human in intelligence. Even if they gather a planet size of compute. Basically intelligence is ingrained in abstractions and all the data humanity created, including all knowledge. A higher intelligence will have very different "content", for the lack of better word. There is another corollary to this which shows that LLMs are way inferior then we think. By the way i'm using LLMs every day in my work and they helped me alot

Any model stretched to the proportions this forum has done with SD, makes the model a constraint and an obstacle to get over.

It's good as an experiment, but doesn't sound like a good idea to me, it will breed some kind of conflict inevitably.

I basically look at the book list as titles that influenced Leo years ago, probably if he has to create a booklist now atleast some won't make the list for sure, I would recommend him to do exactly that in next update, retire books, since written words are not timeless. My favorite author from the list is Ralston offcourse i also don't understand why Francis and J.Krishnamurti made the cut. To me Ralston is bascially J.Krishnamurti 2.0, in a sense that his work is an extended commentry on JK, i don't know if anyone here views him that way. Ralston is grounded in reality much more then all the airy fairy stuff generally associated with spirituality, which keeps you real.

Nothing was said and nothing was heard, nothing written or read either.

It depends, your health goes down, if you work really hard at and are lucky you can decline the rate at which it goes down, which is good. Regarding understanding, it's a constant learning, each life stage is different so you become a different person, the person in his 20s has no Idea what 40s are like, similarly for 30s, even someone is 45 won't know what 50s is about. Life makes you learn, like it makes you learn now in whatever age you are. Everyone learns in some way. And there is no clever way to somehow future proof life, not even enlightenment. Enlightened or not, we are just a "something" in this life, while we are alive.

To be honest, life is living itself, i'm just reacting mostly and in some rare moments i do appear and notice whats going on, but i don't have any desires in those moments.

It doesn't change once you start believing it. It's not something we discover out there, it's a model we apply and all models are reductive at minimum and can be completely off the point in worst cases. It's a more deliberate way of crystalizing the self and then living as that.

Lucky you, the default place of no beliefs is the right place to be in. This allows for surrender to happen on its own, when one is faced with reality of possible ending of life.

I have been through a possible life ending situation an year ago. Nothing could comfort me in terms of beliefs, what helped was basically some understanding that i'm not here to start with, and it's an ongoing story that keep telling/creating myself. Reality of death is difficult and you have to surrender and go through it.

This forum should be called solipsism intensive. I mean every second post is about it. And i'm not sure if they are talking about the same thing.

you can start with a simpler question, what really happens when you are in deep sleep? it happens everyday(almost).

I appreciate your perspective, however you need to see that making sense of what we are experiencing works through beliefs and concepts. Belief is a concept held to be true and once something is held to be true it's real. Experience is lightening fast, its something we internalized and automated, however that doesn't change the fact that beliefs and concepts are what make our reality. There is no objective reality completely free from concepts and beliefs. This doesn't mean there is nothing out there. It means that this life is a function of concepts and without beliefs and concepts reality is meaningless or inaccessible to this life. You need to see this in your experience to a certain extent. Try to imagine that you have no concepts or beliefs, what would you see outside, what would be your objective reality? Offcourse you can't imagine it, it's impossible, everything you may be able to come up with will be conceptual, So don't undermine concepts and beliefs, They are building blocks of this life, they make our reality and they also give us power to construct or look at it differently.

I agree, the only downside of OneNote is proprietary file format, I haven't researched it but i'm sure a solution could be found to convert it into a format accessible by LLMs if someone needs it in future. I love simplicity of OneNote.
