@bebotalk sounds like you might be hurt in some way and might be venting. Just don't go around looking for fights and blaming others, whatever you feel is OK. Again, ask yourself why you started this thread. A better place to vent is the Journal section.

Stop the childish emotional reactivity. Reframe the conversation so that it achieves a fruitful end, reflect perhaps on why you're posting, and be clearer on what you mean.

Decide for yourself what sport you like. Does tennis cause head injury? Soccer, basketball, etc.

Might be enlightened, doubt it, not interested. You'd be better off studying Ramana's material. Why not study the best material?

@StarStruck That's probably why it doesn't let you make pictures of people. I've found Copilot to be a bit more restrictive.

What do you mean? You seem to be essentially asking: Can I lie my way into what's true? We may understand something intellectually but fail to experientially reproduce the insight. There are also degrees of understanding. It is common for us to pretend to be honest in order to serve one's self-agenda, which is basically a form of lying. So, contemplate what being honest is. Tell the truth, mostly to yourself. For example, why did you ask such a question? Do you feel constrained by honesty, where lying could more easily provide you with what you want? Which social lies? You could also ask: What is social?

Looks like him but it's supposed to be Carl Jung.

@StarStruck Did you use Copilot? It seems to be more restrictive. GPT came up with this:

Should pay for the plus version which offers DALL-E 3 and/or try Copilot for free.

Good question. Me, firstly. It is the case that it is generated by you, not circumstances. Then, certain activities assist me in feeling happy -- meditating, reading, contemplating some profound question, walking my dog, writing down insights, understanding something.

First, understand your mind.

Got it, thank you.

25 in the blink of an eye, Jesus.

Can it print books? Someone invent a method to do that.

What would the achievement of AGI look like?

@Yimpa I'm not working until that episode comes out.

I think so, yes.

Some of the downsides of technology. Socrates criticized the invention of writing, thinking that it'd stifle people's memory. You can of course find upsides to any tech as well.

@AerisVahnEphelia Didn't claim to be. If I pointed a gun at you, you'd have to concede that you're self-deceived, likely conflating concepts with direct understanding. Do not try to lie your way into the truth. Not being conscious of one's nature (enlightened) is OK. If you've had one or a few enlightenment experiences -- not small ifs -- don't rest on your laurels. There's a bunch of stuff to look into. If you do understand everything there is to understand, you'd be in the same "place" as Gautama. Hard to believe that claim is accurate.

You came here to be acknowledged and validated. You might have had an enlightenment experience or two, but you're fooling yourself about your claim. You're likely conflating beliefs with consciousness of truth.

I prefer a grounded approach to personal growth, otherwise it gets too abstract, but fair enough.

Maybe, and this thread in the intellectual section.

Now ask what something is beyond cosmology and hearsay.
