Thank you guys

I remember Leo sharing his favorite earplugs a while back. There is no way to search his blog. So I was wondering if any of you have suggestions or if someone remembers what he reccomended! Cheers, Shane

Regardless of AGI and what even constitutes AGI, We are creating things that have shown emergent behavior (gpt wasn't trained on research-grade chemistry but one day it just could do it). We don't know what they are capable of at any given time. We don't know the timeline, We don't know what comes next, and we aren't acting considerately when it comes to new tech and its externalities.

It takes a couple of months for your current watch history to entirely dissipate, but once it does you will no longer be given recommendations or shorts. This has saved me a lot of distraction. Hope it helps!

I'd love to go down a rabbit hole of quality video essays. Does anyone have one that comes to mind?

You're welcome! I'm glad you got something out of it

I’ve watched this twice and took notes. It gives a deep structure for contemplation. This guy makes video essays about Movies/TV/Books but almost all of his advice applies to contemplating anything.

Any good examples of brands? Actually sounds awesome! What is the science behind this? I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to different sources of water. Why is spring/well water so low? I thought that is where bottled water companies sourced their water? This was a great idea for a thread!

I love the idea of this diet! It feels so harmonious. Just eating what plants give you. No killing of plant or animal life. The unfortunate reality is you are missing a lot of essential nutrients if all you eat is fruit. Not a good diet. You'd need like 100 supplements.

This is a profound point!

LOL I love it! I'd expect nothing less from god himself

What does contemplation look like for you? Journaling? Just thinking through different topics/ideas?

Just to clear things up - DR. Gundry is a grifter. I worked at a supplement company a few years back. The Head of marketing used to work for Gundry. He would always try to get us to make these incredibly unethical VSLs (video sales letters). They were basically hour long scare tactics for old people. Tell them whatever you need to tell them to sell the product. Doesn't matter if it is true or false. "I'd rather get sued for making millions than not make anything." He always kept talking about how many lies were in the Gundry videos and how so much of it was made up. And it just so happens Gundry sells a lectin product... https://gundrymd.com/supplements/lectin-shield/

Also if you want some movies here they are!

Not a movie but even better is Arcane The way each character has a unique and valid perspective and how they all clash is unmatched. It's animation and art style is one of the best to ever be created. It deals with ethics and progress and trauma and war. It is my favorite piece of media I've ever seen.
