AI reconstructions or optimizations of your image are still not ready for prime time.

I agree with this, but reading people really comes down to meeting them deeper than this format. It is more or less hard to read people on the Internet. It depends on what information they make available to consider.

We're all operating at different pacing in different things.

Maybe for you.

In 2017 I did Salvia several times. I have the trip reports. They varied. Some were terrifying, some were weird, and one was even happy. I found 5-Meo-DMT more profound when it comes to enlightenment.

Exactly. Because of Love.

What is it about Salvia that is thought to be so profound?

I'm an INFJ. It took me a long time to realize it too.

Can you have epistemology without meaning?

I agree with this to some extent. It forces you to have some grounding, instead of head in the clouds mentality.

I'm not seeing much direct experience here.

Great video which includes Anaximander's Apeiron.

Yes. I did Leo's life purpose course twice. Once in 2019 and again in 2020. Both times I got the exact same list of values (only one changed position in the list) and the life purpose arrived at was almost exactly the same.

I feel like a reasonable collaboration with AI is good. This is not going away. It's a sign of the times.

But who gets outside of popular opinion?

Is this self-soothing for you?

Does this prove other experiences?

Much of our language appears to be an attempt at self-soothing.

I like the blog post on what. Most of the time I use what to nudge someone to think, elaborate, or create, but it has drawbacks too. It's like an invitation in a way to get someone to reflect or communicate. But I get that what? -- if taken metaphysically -- is going to be ultimately dualistic because any answer is not going to be the answer too. E.g., someone says something and you say what? It puts them on their back foot for a split second unless they respond or choose not to respond. You can do it exaggeratedly and with exasperation like whaaat?

Curious as to why you think this.

Communicating about the work we do on this forum and working on my life purpose is definitely my third place. Fourth place is practicing and performing music with friends and at local Jazz jam sessions.
