  1. According to Harrison in the "In Absentia" documentary, this Porcupine Tree song was inspired by Meshuggah, which I think is fucking cool:
  2. I heard one explanation why we hate pedophiles so much is because they feel like preying on the weakest of their own tribe. We can often forgive or even applaud the worst killers, because historically we had to kill people from the other tribe to survive, but pedophilia is basically always seen as a net negative.
  3. Why can not these people have genuine mystical experiences as well? Men from India do not have monopoly on these things.
  4. People like to reduce everything down to one thing. They do it with endogenous DMT and mystical experiences, and they do it with nofap and testosterone. Among other things, fapping releases prolactin. Dopamine has another name: "prolactin-inhibiting hormone", so this can also explain the increase in motivation. It also happens that prolactin decreases the levels of sex hormones, so naturally, eliminating one source of prolactin release will increase testosterone, but again, it's not the only factor.
  5. I don't know what the highest attainment is, but I know there is something there worth pursuing. I also prefer to call it mysticism.
  6. For LaMDA, it was speech. It says a lot of things without understanding it. It's a parrot. Can you eat it?
  7. You're assuming the embodied state is the same thing as the glimpse.
  8. You should actually listen to your ego. It's trying to tell you something. What are you lacking? Fix it and your ego will shut up about it.
  9. How can you be this tight?! 21:00 - 24:19
  10. Bruh, first I gotta learn to handle my sober state lol
  11. I have experienced psychedelics, but not 300 times up my ass
  12. Flaunting or not, Leo says you have to do a ton of psychedelics to understand what he means by God-realization. I haven't done much of that, and I don't doubt that doing psychedelics at that scale will crack your head open in some way or another. I just don't know exactly how. I can tell you a lot about meditation, but not about that.
  13. I mean, I haven't experienced that much psychedelics.
  14. I wouldn't claim to know what Leo's idea of God-realization actually is.
  15. I've never laughed so hard at a joke.
  16. I'm just saying how it is. If your source of comprehension of reality mainly comes from a drug experience which severely alters your state, then of course how you feel in your baseline state is not as relevant.
  17. Only if you rely on drugs. If I feel like shit, my engagement with reality will be colored by that. Pain literally contracts your focus.
  18. Leo "Have you tried 5-MeO-DMT?" Gura ?
  19. Do the girl method. Save it for the weekend and make it special. Light some candles ?
  20. A.I does not move like a duck or swim like a duck. It only quacks like a duck. It's a parrot.
  21. Is it generated by the brain, or is it the result of being a living creature who grew up in a physical environment with nurturing parents and adequate food intake? Because wherever you can point to a normally functioning human consciousness, the latter is the case. In other words, we have no conclusive evidence of a human experience without a human body.
