Brave Origin is being worked on. It will be a debloated version of the browser. Free on Linux, likely a paid product on other operating systems, which is kinda funny.

Install the uBlock Origin extension, even on Brave. nooooo I usually install a "distraction-free Youtube" extension on every browser I use that, well, hides the sidebar and removes other crap.

Oh, I didn't know you could do that playlist thing. I'll try it out. Thanks

@Michal__ I would consider talking to a doctor rather than to a language model. And if I may ask, what is your purpose for the retreat?

Apparently not.

Ah, got it.

That could be seen as a matter of keeping one's word.

Do the terms comfort and conformity share etymological roots?

It is profound - the very possibility of language itself, not the content of any particular language. Notice how you hold it as symbols. Without language, how could symbols, science, philosophy, belief, religion, and art exist? They couldn't. No matter how many times it's said, we continue to operate from within a world of language, and so we have a hard time stepping out of it and seeing its true influence.

It seems to me that Brave and Firefox are two of the best options out there. There are also LibreWolf, Waterfox, Vivaldi, and Zen Browser. Thorium for speed. Edge and Chrome may not be the best choices when it comes to privacy and an ad-free experience.

There's PCSX2 and similar software options, too.

Actually, not a doctor, but if you're taking antipsychotics, it might be worth checking for possible contraindications and other considerations. Also, as beneficial as retreats can be, intensive meditation can sometimes be destabilizing. Something to take into account.

@Carl-Richard It's fucking deep. It's huge. That's what she... whatever. I think it ties into the nature of context. And yet we totally take it for granted as a given. Maybe that explains our inability to grasp the magnitude of its influence on our experience. Take away language, and symbol, science, philosophy, belief, religion, art - can't exist.

No model is true; it might be useful, but it is invented, made up.

Hmmm... ---

Haha

Nice, eight hours is a sizable amount. Keep it up.

That's Mr. Fanboy to you! Okay, you have not been successfully converted.

It seems those questions presuppose the existence of language. Language, however, is itself a huge influence on our reality. We may think it reflects reality, but in fact it is superimposed and frames the way we interpret our perceptions. Content is secondary to the context that allows it to exist in the first place. As for the idea that everything is imagination, I suspect this doesn't truly touch our experience - it is mostly an abstraction based on preference or belief. Perhaps it is so, but the depth and profundity of such a reality likely continue to elude us. Anyway - language!

Christ's blood - extra God-realized.

We'll be watching you 👀 😉

Interesting to see.

Got it. To me it feels the same without caffeine, just a super calm state after a few days of quitting and going through the withdrawal symptoms. But I'm addicted!

I don't have cancer (that I know of). Just curious about some of the potential benefits of fasting on human physiology: https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/the-effects-of-fasting-on-cancer/

My watch runs on Venus time. A full day lasts almost four Earth months.
