Thinking of Troy, Achellis was proper stage orange in that movie. He did casual sex, didn't believe in fighting for nation didn't believe in God had superb skills. Imagine being stage orange 3000 years ago. Incredible stuff. That king of sparta was blue and other soldiers were red. Beautiful stuff.

I just watched Troy, 2004 yesterday. It has many accurate depictions of stage Red behaviours, if you have noticed. Like walls, babies getting thrown from walls, slitting throats, rape war etc. It's also remarkable to think that our society is only two stages ahead of it, and that too barely ahead of it, given that we are orange. Even though it took thousands of years of evolution. Any other stage red movies? I want to integrate my inner conquer red.

Yeah I watched it. It was too purple O guess. The surprise at the end was worth it. The fact that the director do not know about SD only makes it even more profound.

I have linked the pdf above in my replies. Chess is not repetitive. Boxing & running is the most repetitive sport. There is only a limited set of actions you can do in such sports. There huge variability in chess and football. More your mindfulness, the more variations you can master which is in the case of Messi who does not posses the best of capabilities if you ask me. Mindfulness, when meditating is a seperate thing as opposed to "General Mindfulness of an individual". That's a huge distinction. But you cannot measure real time mindfulness as some quantity. They cannot be giving answers while meditating. No you cannot club all them together. They all engage in activities that requires different levels of mindfulness. Boxing and running has the lowest mindfulness requirements. You simply need to keep running fast while learning to ignore all the stimuli ==Mindless ness. Chess/football is the being aware of the entire football ground/chess board while cooking up strategies/tactics. You need to be open to all stimuli as much as possible to increase your chances of success. == Super high mindfulness. How can you compare this kid with Messi? ? I don't think you have come up with a valid counter example to be honest. It's very harder to play football smarter than Messi. Messi is clearly the best football player of all time. Maradona might come second. 1. Some Ace of a kind greek demi God will not play footballer better than Messi if he is less mindful than Messi. 2. If some player is better than Messi, he for sure has higher mindfulness than Messi. If you can compete with Messi in mindfulness levels, then you have a solid chance of beating him. But there are many other factors of course.

I do not dismiss studies or research. The only thing that I am saying is to not outsource your reasoning to some "expert" out there who might be wearing a white coat. Plus, you are still relying on the mind of someone for your reasoning. You cannot escape critical thinking and reasoning. All the people doing this also have their biases and they are trapped in a system where they can do nothing about it. Studies will never present you with raw data. They will present you data after passing it through their own reasoning, not to mention how hard it is to get pure data. And logic cannot lie or have variations. It's clean and straightforward. I know that plants need sunlight and water because depriving them would kill them. I can know it from my personal experience. I trust in the reasoning of my own mind rather than blindly trusting some other mind. It's not like I am stonewalling them. We all can present our observations and reasoning and talk about them. Relying on studies and research is an escape from using and improving your own reasoning which is the only things you ever have had really. I would require those institutions to be more transparent in what they choose to omit from their finding and present finding that contradict their claims. They simply don't do due diligence. My reasoning is open and transparent, and you are free to find holes in it. You just have to stop taking anyone on trust. You are trusting them to be reliable simply because they are huge and wear white coats. Do not Trust. Verify. Look at their reasoning and check if it's sound. And you can gradually make your reasoning stronger over time. You can increase the quality of your mind by reasoning it over and over again. So do you finally agree that vaccine was more or less useless at this point. You should recommend something if it is found to be useful and prevents the disease it is meant to prevent not because it will not kill you, which you can't even fully guarantee. The biggest vaccination against covid was getting covid itself.

You can poke holes in my reasoning. I usually lay them out barely and simple to understand terms. Here is my analysis: One question that stroked me the most in the questionnaire is if you are able to do tasks while listening to music. This is the best test of mindfulness. If you can listen to music while studying, then you have low mindfulness. It's basically awareness of external stimuli. If there is multiple sources of stimuli streamed at you and let it pass through your senses without processing them, it's a tell-tale sign of low mindfulness. Now you can take a look at athletes who have high physical activity. Take Mike Tyson or Hussain Bolt. They have to keep repeating the same set of tasks of over and over again for thousands of hours to be best at what they are doing to be good at it. So, they probably have low awareness, low IQ and low sensitivity. Messi on the other hand has high mindfulness. This is also obvious from the lifestyle he is leading. He also said it in an interview that he experiences the game at an intense level. I doubt if other football players have this trait. Probably not as high as Messi. Messi's high mindfulness has a huge part in why he is such an expert football player. Mindfulness, Sensitivity and Intelligence are linked and probably eve n highly correlated. High mindfulness translates to high awareness of the external stimuli and process it to make distinctions about a field. Messi has mastered the game due to high intelligence and not his physical abilities which other players have more of. I have also seen some people who are extremely athletic and physically active but have poor mindfulness. But at the same time there are also physically inactive lazy people who also have low mindfulness. And mindful people are as mindful from the time they are born. It's genetic. Just like Messi's "talent" as most people like to call them. You can probably think of Da Vinci who has great mindfulness and he even criticize people for walking around mindlessly. Usually, complex tasks need more mindfulness than simple task. So if the physical activity at hand is more complicated, then you need more mindfulness. The fundamental problem is that you are trying to establish a relationship between physical activity which is so trivial and mundane with a rare genetic trait of geniuses like mindfulness. You are going to find a mixed bag.

Of course it's intuition. Research won't get you far and it suffers from the problem of both intuition and research. In Research™, when we don't get results we publish and manipulate results we like. I don't trust research. 50% of the hardcore research couldn't even be replicated and this is a self admission. It's a failed game. And it's only going to get worse. ----- I don't know what your standards are for physical activity. But I can say that there is no such correlation between mindfulness and physical activity, regardless of whatever measurements and tools you use here. All research has to start from intuition. You feel like something is worth investigating and then you will find something worth publishing. In academia however, you simply make up interesting data when you can't find them.

This really seems like a bad joke.

Are US citizens required to file taxes even if they live abroad? The Tate bros do hold US passports are still US citizens. I am not clear on this, but I still they need to file their taxes in the US. It would be wild if uncle Sam comes for his pound of his flesh after Tate is done with his sentence for human trafficking.

Absolutely. Language and the fundamentals of it are quite interesting. You might want to take a look at Theory of Computation if you want a strict understanding of language and the mechanics behind it. I still get insights from studying that to this day. Leo probably has an episode on languages. I don't know when he will release it.

Mindful-Attention-Awareness-Scale-MAAS.pdf To be honest this questionnaire is fairly rigorous in what it's attempting to measure. Almost as rigorous as the questionnaire for assessing the big 5 personality traits. If you are serious you should get people to fill out all different form of questionnaires. That can indeed measure mindfulness satisfactorily. But mindfulness is weekly related to sensitivity or even intelligence. I think Leo would score high on mindfulness. It's a genetic trait. And people with high mindfulness do not have a proclivity for engaging in physical activity. But that will depend on the specific sample of people you have taken and what qualifies for "physical activity". Does it mean short term physical activity or life long physical activity or intense physical activity? Highly mindful people tend to sensitive that they cannot withstand a lot of stimuli which might come with intense physical activity. Overall it's an interesting topic if you can get people to answer the questionnaire with minimal subjectivity .

If you finish computing then you would get a result, yes or no in this case. This can happen if you don't clearly and deterministically describe the problem. And can also stem from incomplete or missing information. If you have missing information, that doesn't mean a third option though. This would become a classic case of the uncertainty principle. As long as critical information is missing the answer would be simultaneously right or wrong. Think about it? Is 2+2 = 4, a yes or no. 2+3 = 10, is a yes or no. "I am agnostic" is not answering the question and has nothing to do with the question at all. The answer definitely exists. It all depends on whether you can reach it and allocate the resources for compute. Sure. But the reason for which you haven't taken a position on that matter is important. Are you refusing to take a position because you lazy and unwilling to dedicate the resources? If yes, then you are lazy. If you lack the resources, then it's more or less understandable. The universe is clearly deterministic. There isn't much wiggle room.

Agnosticism simply means that you are delaying the compute or choosing to not compute at all. But that also means that you do not value Truth and not willing to make an effort. The thing is even if you choosing to remain agnostic by not thinking, you are still making decisions. You might as well make a decision about jerry being a friend or not. Edit: Reality does not really offer you a lot of options. You have to converge eventually.

According to automata theory, you can either accept him or reject him. It's a strict binary with no third option. You have to choose one. But.....In real terms You need time to compute/think whether you accept him or not. This computation can take forever that you will never actually arrive at either yes or no decision. --- If you acknowledge the concept of jerry, and you acknowledge the concept of a friend, then you have to accept him as a friend or reject him as a friend. There is no third option.

What is mindfulness and how do you measure it?

What do you think of Vivek Ramaswamy? The guy seems to be a policy nerd.

The charges and arrest was not for running a web cam business. It's human trafficking. Not kidnapping. Not Webcam.

Where did this manipulation thing come up from? It's not all black and white where everything Tate says has to be wrong. Such divisive narratives only add more power to his narrative since he is banking on people having different opinions on him. Let's stick to discussing facts and nothing more. I am living in extreme circumstances. Either you are extremely privileged or extremely naive or you don't understand what you are saying or meaning by "ruthlessness". Not judging you, but that's what people in general who says these things are.

Awesome practices. I do the same after waking up. The feel and mood inside my room changed a lot after I ditched LEDs and went to incadecent+indirect lighting. Great share!!

The lights that we use have a long lasting impact on our circadian rhythm which in turn affect our health in a variety of ways. 1. We need out lighting to reduce blue light as much as possible, or use a lighting that has a uniform distribution of all lights. We need our lighting to mimic sunlight as much as possible. To be clear, when it's night, it's supposed to be as dark as possible, with the exception of light from fire. This is how human beings lived for thousands of years. This light is the most attuned with our natural systems. 2. Diffused lighting vs direct lighting. Direct lighting blinds our eyes in case we look at it by chance. Diffused or scattered lights are more gentle and they spread across the room by scattering and reflecting off of the walls and objects. So, to implement there two simple things, switch to incadecent or tungsten filament bulbs and cover the lights at a sufficient distance to get diffused lighting . If you put the cover too close you run the risk of heating it up top much and it may catch fire. While incadecent bulbs are inefficient, it will be graceful on the skin and circadian rhythm.

Also change the name of 1000 institutions that are named with "I" for India. We will lose the privilege of the "Indian Ocean" and the "Indian subcontinent".

To live a noble life.

?BREAKING: The preliminary chamber procedure for the Tate case will not conclude until the 16th November. This is most likely due to the enormity of the case files for four defendants. 60 days isn’t enough for a judge to read all of them. The preliminary chamber is the period of time when the judge gets to view the evidence and make sure it's attained legally and throw out the parts of it that is not fit to present in court. So that's a long amount of time. The trial can take place only after the judge has finalized the evidence by the prosecution. In the meantime I predict that Tate will spread a bunch of lies saying the case is weak and garbage and that's why it's taking so long. In reality DIICOT is doing an excellent job in getting and organising the evidence that they definitely do convict him once they have their shot. Also the DIICOT is the most competitive agency in Romania with a high conviction rate. The conviction rate of DIICOT, the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism in Romania, is 88%.
