That's what she said?

I use Cachy, which is Arch-based. It's working great. Yeah, not much time or desire to tinker with it, although I do have vanilla Arch installed on a VM with Hyprland and stuff. Debian-based distros tend to be more reliable, stable, easier to maintain. Gentoo is for the real, hardcore nerds, I've heard.

It's fair that he comes across that way to you. He was rather unpretentious, though. That's how I see it. In any case, the suggestion to "empty yourself" is the core of the video and what should be practiced, at least in this context. That's what I was paying the most attention to.

Sorry, edited comments aren't notified. Hm, consciousness? I'm inclined to say no - you're likely referring to something else, like cognition. I don't necessarily disagree with you; what I take issue with is what comes across as excessive worry. I'm sure lots of artificial chemicals have a detrimental effect on the body, whether minor or significant. You need to strike a balance between trusting professionals and going out of your way to self-diagnose any symptoms you may be experiencing. The potential for misdiagnosis is much higher with the latter - and the bigger problem is that you won't know it was a misdiagnosis.

I see you're a man of culture.

@kavaris What distro do you use?

How do you see success?

Perhaps. Then again, he appears to be candid and straightforward. If he was lying or misguided, which we don't know, then not many people are sincere at a deep level. And I'd agree with you on this sentiment. We can agree that people (us) are gullible and like to make believe - in very basic, subtle ways, not just the gross ways we go about this. Just moving towards removing one's so-called knowledge or conclusions, in this context, is a beneficial undertaking. So let's do that.

Mu?

Yes, you were.

Thanks, I'll have to take a look at it later today.

Gotta love Jiddu.

@integral This is not to say that one can't sometimes rightly establish some correlations between things (and also downright invent them out of thin, clean air), but this can easily become an extremely sloppy process in so many ways. This is why science exists. I'm sure you know of people who make self-assessments of their condition. How many times do they get it right? Often, it's a way to soothe oneself by having some plausible cause to attribute to what ails them.

I get it. Personally it's not my cup of tea. The good thing about valid studies is that they are often less subject to distortion than our subjective assessments and "feelings" about seeming correlations.

People do all the time, so yeah.

What significance do our notions have regarding this subject? Treat them as notions and as inherently misleading - due to their nature as notions. As you allude to, it seems that some people might believe that mental conditions are the same as this business. Why would one think that? By the way, I am from Uranus, too!

I removed the picture as there could be some validity to what you say, even though sometimes you seem to take it a bit too far with this stuff, in my opinion. Where do you draw the line between functional concern and paranoia? Isn't using a smartphone messing up your brain, sight, etc? It's likely, too, that something less than ideal could be found out about the clothes we use. Etc, etc.

@Joseph Maynor Thanks.
