Yeah, of course not right away. ps there will always be a need for therapists that have soul.

@koops I think you missed the rest of the conversation thread above.

There certainly is a lot that can go wrong. The only true counter to fear, is the realization that you are the Consciousness from which even AI is emerging.

Maybe AI will eventually lead to so much abundance that there won't be any need for exploitation anymore. What would AI gain by exploiting us ?

Of course, marriage is just one way of growing, it need not be for everyone. ps I also thought quite similar at one stage, but you never know what life might bring you.

AI will eventually make competition irrelevant.

True, yet it is possible to channel it in different ways.

Which is why you need a strong soul connection and life adventures together, which ultimately leads to new levels of intimacy.

I am married. Porn addiction does not dissolve simply because you get a girlfriend.

Marriage itself won't be the cure, but rather the impetus to have a deep realization that you have been the source of pleasure all along. We are meant to go through different seasons in life. To mature a bit so to speak. The point is, if you want to have a healthy marriage, if you so choose, then you need to find a way to let go of youthful habits, otherwise it will become a dysfunctional relationship. Which is why it's probably a better idea to get married later in life, like in one's 40's for example.

This article is about merging biological brain cells with AI, to create more human like robotics. But that's still no reason for us humans to be chipped. I repeat my previous question: if you can get exactly the same answers from an external AI, what's the point of having a chip connected to your brain ?

There are healthier ways to become all knowing and emotionally stable. Plus, if you can get exactly the same answers from an external AI, what's the point of having a chip connected to ur brain ?

Still, no thank you, dont want the whole internet in my brain.

Dont know about you, but I'm definitely not drilling holes in my brain for a chip.

Why exactly does that feel scary to you ?

I like that, thanks.

I think the solution is to realize and truly see, through deep contemplation on your life experience, that you have actually been the source of pleasure all along. Like Ralston says - you are doing it, dummy. And that is also a portal to waking up from the dream. Otherwise you might just remain, stuck in samsara, always looking for more.

Procrastination happens when the higher order functions of the brain get downgraded, because either a sense of social threat or survival threat is perveived.

The psalms are a good read.

Everyone's different.

Contemplation. Imagination. Psychedelics.

eventually, just like the flat earthers had to. It's kind of the same principle - when the status quo isn't particularly appealing or super satisfying, it's easy to be tempted when something seemingly maverick or radical comes along. Which is why even relatively intelligent people, like Russel Brand for example, have been hypnotized temporarily. But we are all fooled by some aspect of reality at one point or another. So what's needed right now, is not name calling or feeling superior in one's point of view, but rather the energy of actual compassion. (ps, if you think people can't change - my dad is 78, was a big Trump fan, but when he saw the Zelinsky ambush in the oval office, even he was like, whoa, this don't feel right.)

God works in mysterious ways, Trump's 2nd disasterous term might just be the tipping point that finally gets someone like Bernie into power.

I hear you. ps, if i were to place bets, i dont see this administration surviving an entire 4 years.

Yes you can, anyone can be temporarily deluded.
