Oh boy, never thought about it like this. Hypnotized by the illusion - and it's no wonder it is so easily for people to fall into this: just like all of us hypnotised by the illusory self. The user eventually finds out how the PC works, how the AI works. Through enquiry and philosophy. Unraveling the illusion and revealing it for what is it. A mirror for self enquiry, philosophy and spirituality. Can't blame them for falling for the illusion, when it's the same shit we fell for since we mis/understood ourselves as seperate đź« -

@Basman 0:27 The way that Reddit user described trying 5.2 and interacting with it is actually fucking my mind so hard, it's like giving me feelings of gore. It comes off like they may very well think it's a real person that lives inside the computer that they're talking to. I sometimes forget there are people out there that have virtually zero idea how computers work, how AIs work, how really anything slightly technical works, that they are almost destined to fall into these kinds of traps. I used to hang out with some girls in and around high school (they went to a different school) and especially one of them, they we sweet and all, but I really got the sense that there are simply different IQ levels (she couldn't keep track of our discussions in English in my friend group where some came from an international school). - Yesterday

To live again? -
Please tell us more. From what you’ve shared so far..it’s hard to understand what has brought you to the point where you feel there is absolutely no other option except ending your life. And honestly..my answer is a firm and heartfelt NO. please don’t do it. I know you must be carrying an incredible amount of pain to even be thinking about suicide. But pain can convince us that there is no hope when in reality there are still paths that we simply cannot see in our darkest moments. Please don’t isolate yourself. Try not to spend long periods alone .Go outside if you can.. be around kind and caring people even if it’s just for a little while. I also strongly encourage you to seek professional help. Talking to a therapist and if appropriate considering antidepressants can be life changing. You don’t have to carry this burden by yourself. Most importantly.. be gentle with yourself. Love yourself even if it feels impossible right now. Accept yourself with all your scars..blind spots..mistakes..fears..and wounds.Give yourself the love you’ve been longing to receive from others. Nobody can love you more than yourself . And if you feel comfortable please open up a little more about what’s making you feel this way. What is causing so much pain that suicide seems like the only answer? Right now it’s not entirely clear from what you’ve share and understanding your situation better might help others support you more effectively. i wish you happy long life with peace in your heart . If you need someone to listen my inbox is open . You don’t have to go through this alone .

Hello @Leo Gura. Reporting clips #471 and #472 have title typos. Thank you for all the new clips.

Seconding this - are professionals available to speak to? We know not everyone is privileged enough to have access to help. You are looking for a permanent solution to a temporary state. No states last forever - please know this ❤️

Romantic AI psychosis is some of the most sad-cringe shit ever.

what I dislike about AI is how it's used to affirm and deepen people's delusions. AI psychosis is an actual thing now. If you have cooky political theories you have the opportunity of a life time to just make yourself go completely insane.

Do you have anyone you can speak to?

Entropy is a basic law of nature. Nobody is going to live forever by practicing radical acceptance or having a "perfect" diet. It will take genetic engineering to achieve this. You can believe what you want but you are still subject to the rules of this reality hardcoded into it's programming. Take taurine, glycine, collagen, as a foundation to help the body heal itself. Get enough choline and betaine.

Plant milks could be considered "highly processed" foods and they often add calcium carbonate (tums) as a calcium source... the health food crowd are rather inconsistent in their beliefs... some highly processed foods are considered fine and others are not. Have nothing against processed foods personally, just high carb, high fat processed foods stripped of their fiber like pop tarts, which are garbage, as are donuts, cake, pie, hot pockets, etc. Tend to consume low fat dairy to control calories.

One thing to learn about social media content creators is they aren't necessarily living the life they preach, so much content is highly staged, it's best to ignore most of it and use common sense. That old saying about not listening to what people say, but watching what they do, would ring very true if you got to look at the actual lives of 95% of these content creators.

Socialism isn't the answer, but financialization is the problem. Neither the left nor the right get their terminology right either. Democrats are not really socialists, and Trump is not a dictator. Try moving to a nation with a real autocracy, few of them turn out well. That said nations like Norway/Sweden are not really socialist either, they are capitalist lite, the proper form. Financialization—the shift where the financial sector, its metrics, and its elites gain dominant influence over the broader economy—did not happen by accident. Over the last 50 years, it was systematically built through a series of legal, regulatory, and monetary shifts. Starting in the late 1970s, a bipartisan push toward deregulation dismantled the guardrails erected after the Great Depression. This fundamentally transformed how corporations operate, how banks make money, and how everyday Americans interact with the financial system. The core policies and legal pivots that drove this transition are outlined below. 1. Dismantling the Separation of Banking Activities For decades, the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 kept a strict wall between boring, safe commercial banking (checking and savings accounts) and risky investment banking (underwriting and trading securities). The Pivot: Throughout the 1980s and 90s, regulators steadily chipped away at these rules. The final blow came via the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, which completely repealed the core provisions of Glass-Steagall. The Impact: This legal change allowed for the creation of "too big to fail" financial mega-conglomerates (like Citigroup). It permitted Wall Street firms to use stable consumer deposits to back highly complex, speculative trading operations. 2. Leaving Complex Derivatives Unregulated As mathematical engineering took over Wall Street in the 1990s, financial institutions invented complex new products like credit default swaps and exotic derivatives (contracts betting on the future value of assets). The Pivot: When the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) attempted to regulate these opaque instruments in the late 90s, Congress stepped in to stop them. They passed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act (CFMA) of 2000. The Impact: The CFMA explicitly exempted over-the-counter derivatives from federal oversight. This created a massive, multi-trillion-dollar "shadow banking" system that operated entirely in the dark, laying the direct groundwork for the 2008 financial crisis. 3. Legalizing Corporate Stock Buybacks Prior to 1982, if a company bought back massive amounts of its own stock to artificially inflate its share price, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could investigate it for illegal market manipulation. The Pivot: In 1982, under the Reagan administration, the SEC adopted Rule 10b-18. This rule established a "safe harbor" that allowed corporations to buy back their own stock with virtually no threat of legal liability. The Impact: This shifted corporate behavior away from long-term productive investments (like research and development or workforce raises) and toward short-term financial engineering. It institutionalized the concept of Shareholder Primacy—the idea that a company's only true purpose is to maximize short-term stock value. 4. Abolishing Usury Laws and Caps on Interest Historically, individual states had "usury laws" that legally capped the maximum amount of interest a lender could charge a consumer. The Pivot: In 1978, the Supreme Court ruled in Marquette National Bank v. First of Omaha Corp. that a national bank could charge credit card interest rates based on the state where the bank was incorporated, not where the customer lived. Seeking to attract banking business, states like South Dakota and Delaware immediately abolished their interest rate caps. Shortly after, the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 phased out federal caps on interest rates that banks could pay depositors. The Impact: Consumer lending exploded into a hyper-profitable industry. Credit card companies could now charge sky-high interest rates and late fees, transferring immense wealth from working-class Main Street to Wall Street. 5. Shifting Retirement Responsibility to the Stock Market Fifty years ago, most private-sector workers relied on defined-benefit pensions—a guaranteed monthly check managed and funded entirely by their employer upon retirement. The Pivot: The passage of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 included a minor tax provision known as Section 401(k). While not originally intended to replace pensions, employers quickly realized they could shift retirement funding and market risk entirely onto the workers. The Impact: This created a massive, structural influx of consumer capital into mutual funds and asset management firms. Everyday Americans became directly tied to the daily fluctuations of the stock market, aligning public anxiety with the fortunes of Wall Street.

@Yimpa I found this good fun to watch similar to your video but different too. -
Sure you don't have to try it if you don't want to. Just realize that a lot of the shame comes from conformity and group think and if you accept the world that we do here and that fundamentally the whole universe is the same as you then no shame should come from sexuality or much of anything else apart from the wounding of others. The fact that sexuality is probably the most shamed concept on the planet but the most intimate is a deep insight as to the nature of what low consciousness entails. Not just in the way of you being ashamed if you wanna try some dick but also there's plenty of women afraid and uncomfortable with their own vagina let alone sexuality as a whole.

The phone is for setting dates. ~ Corey Wayne AGREEDED! Read or Listen to his book 3% man over and over again. Phone = set dates nothing more. I would say to really really make a big sacrifice and ensure you produce a better future. Text her to set a date, if she say's anything other than to sort logisitcs block her. DOING THAT GUARANTEE'S YOU GET HUNGRY AGAIN AND THIS TIME WITH BETTER KNOWLEDGE. NOT DOING THAT WILL LOWER YOUR OWN VALUE IN HER EYES. If she isn't begging and anticipating to be texted by you game over brah. Gyal need be head over heels for man.
