The word you're searching for is biased, the ascetic monk has a bias towards his spiritual practice & isolation and believes it to be good, because otherwise he could spend his time doing practically anything else. This means that his spiritual practice has a dark side, a shadow that he has to be blind to in order for him to perceive his particular practice as worth doing.

Lmao!

Right, might be just the surface for all we know!

Apparently Jensen Huang just messed up, what will the consequences be of this? The question is did the spy get any valuable information, what about market impacts? https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1xr86kx/nvidia_ceo_admits_infidelity_with_suspected/

I see, so essentially you’re saying you have to see & accept where people are at, and that you can’t get through to your brother, mother etc outside of what fits within their stage of development? Do you remember a point in time which this frustrated you, like that your brother dismissed something where you saw there was more to it than it might seem?

That’s fair but theres a grey zone, what about friends for example. Do you find that you have many friends who can meet that depth, or have you just accepted that not many people want to go where you are?

Something I’ve noticed lately is that when talking with people, if I start to steer the conversation deeper, to get to the underlying often paradoxical and confusing territory that gets closer to truth, essentially shifting the conversation to a different more advanced perspective, that people seem to resist this fiercely in all sort of ways. This is pretty frustrating, people will reject this level in all sort of ways: disagree without taking the time to understand, change topic, have an excuse they need to go do something, or forcefully grab onto their perspective and ignore what you’re saying. I came to the conclusion this is probably because when you shift the perspective too radically people feel their world changing, as it shakes the foundations of their worldview & belief system, like a glitch in the matrix. So people seem literally unable to hear and or understand what you’re saying. Have any others here had experiences like this, how have you dealt with the sense of isolation? Of being pulled deeper and finding a sense of liberation while others seem almost terrified of it. I’m guessing at certain levels you’ll be rejected by pretty much everyone?

Id agree with this, humans are not robots, if you live overly disciplined you sacrifice parts of yourself that’ll come back to bite you in the ass later. The idea of living super disciplined is appealing because we connect it in our minds to getting to where we want to be in life. But the reality is different

Mb i was being lazy and jumped to a conclusion, regarding your poultry idea though this ignores my point about low protein being the key that increases tryptophane uptake, if you eat any high protein foods the other amino acids will block the tryptophane uptake which is the idea behind a high carb low protein diet from a serotonine perspective, possibly theres some threshold where your idea works though, im not certain at what amount of protein the uptake is inhibited. The insulin & muscles taking up other amino acids idea doesnt seem to hold up, in studies where they showed the uptake increase of tryptophane the key was almost zero protein

Its the tryptophane uptake to the blood brain barrier not serotonine

This is kind of the ideas behind certain high carb vegan groups, I used to experiment with this type of eating essentially high amounts of sweet fruits and added table sugar. The absence of protein in bananas and their high sugar content increases your blood brain barriers uptake of tryptophane, which increases serotonine production. So its not only a placebo but an actual mechanism where if you eat really low protein really high carb it has an antidepressant property, although longterm id be a bit cautious of potential nutriotional deficiencies. if you want to learn more about this you can check Durianriders videos about sugar on YouTube, hes fanatical about this type of eating and talks a lot about the beneficial properties of sugar just beware hes fanatic about it and pushing an ideology to make money but there seems to be some truth to it.

You got it, given that's my opinion so take it with a grain of salt but I've used Claude Code, Gemini & ChatGPT extensively and find Gemini to be the best all purpose LLM these days.

For your goals Gemini is superior in my experience, Claude is made to be overly disagreeable as an attempt to sweep over the reputation of AI as a validation robot. But its overly disagreeable to the point where it cant accept any perspective except its own unless you tell it directly to do so. Gemini is superior for everything except coding.

This one is very true and true for most people in general myself included!

Interesting observation, That's also incredibly alluring to the human mind since the fundamental split between the conscious mind & the unconscious is dichotomizing by nature, in a sense the AIs tendency in this regard might be a reflection of the way humans are categorizing reality rather than an inherent trait of AI itself. We want to know what's good & bad, what's true & false. If we don't know what's good or true or false we don't know what to do anymore, we lose a sense of clarity and have to dwell in ambiguity, nuance & confusion, is the thing we're striving for even good in the first place? But the idea that not having the answer is bad is in itself yet another bias. Because there are inherent values to not knowing what's good or bad, not knowing the truth etc. For example confusion & feeling lost might just be the other side of the coin of honesty. Who are we fooling really when we think that reality can be contained within an excel table? My point being that clear distinctions offer a sense of clarity & understanding, but is it understanding, really?
