  2. Cut the carbs to 50-100g a day and you'll get that. But if you also want to build up the energy to have it to exercise, I woudn't recommend it. You see, going for "quick" ways when dealing with weight loss will always backfire in one way or another. Prefer more long term approach. Continue building up to 30m/day exercise and eat 300 to 500 calories in deficit.
  3. Yes sure, research into that field can be meaningful. I was just interested to know how would this trip would affect his life purpose. I was thinking maybe it would show him the illusory nature of the self and that he woudn't be attached to prolonging it so hard. But it seems that contrary has happened, he seems to be doubling down.
  4. Some jazzy stuff is also very good for contemplation mood. Something like Pat Metheny. For me is that + walking these days. I can enter into an auto-critic cycle with a good head space plus feels like walking in a movie.
  5. Makes sense. AI side effects at play haha
  6. The sermon on the mount from King James bible . This is found in book of Matthew( it's written in Shakespearian English not plain English lol: Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the mercifuls: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill… But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment… Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Again, ye have heard that it hath been said… Thou shalt not forswear thyself… But I say unto you, Swear not at all… Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye… But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil… Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you… Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them… When thou doest thine alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are… After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance… Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth… But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven… For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. No man can serve two masters… Ye cannot serve God and Devil. Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink… Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not… yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow… Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged… And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction… Beware of false prophets… Ye shall know them by their fruits. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven… Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew… and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand .
  7. Hey y'all. I'm starting this thread as an extension of the mega-thread of conformity examples. But I found this cool documentary about the culture of smoking in Indonesia. Smoking cigarettes is done out of pure conformity. First it spreads through marketing and advertisements. Marketing gimmicks such as the Marlboro Man associate smoking a certain brand of cigarettes with masculinity, and being an all American cowboy. Then it spreads through the culture. In countries such as China and Indonesia especially, its baked as deep into the culture as is shaking someones hand to greet them. These countries have virtually no restrictions of the tobacco companies ability to advertise and, and they hook consumers through a process called 'lifestyle advertising'. Here are the documentaries:
  8. Maybe. Altho there's some really outlandish shit people do that has nothing to do with truth and is bad for survival, and doesn't have much precedent. IE "Florida man" behavior.
  9. oh, okay. walks might be a nice way to start.

  11. yeah i plan to do exercise for 30 min a day. but it will take a long time from starting an exercise to doing exercise for 30 min a day. i was looking for quick ways to burn fat without exercise. i have low energy . i can't do exercise right now. it will take a long time to get a point where i can do 30 min of exercise a day
  12. hahahahah on point
  13. I think a helpful way to look at this is through specialization. Adults generally know more than children, but that doesn’t mean any adult is qualified to teach any subject. We ideally still want to rely on trained experts in specific areas. The same logic applies to governance. Wealthy or corporate elites might have deeper knowledge in certain domains, like business or finance, but that doesn’t mean they should have broad, unchecked authority across all areas of public policy. In an ideal system, decision-making would be more “policy-specific.” People with demonstrated knowledge and experience in a given area would have more influence over decisions in that area, rather than power being concentrated in a small group or tied to wealth alone. Right now, democratic systems often end up revolving around electing a single leader or "a vibe", and voters are frequently influenced more by charisma, identity, or surface-level messaging than by careful evaluation of actual policy. One way to think about it is that instead of relying mainly on a human representative system at the top level, you could have a more direct, structured participation system, where people engage with policy through, let's say, for a fun example, a web or mobile platform. On that platform, users wouldn’t pick leaders, but would be presented with policy proposals and asked to respond to them directly, through written input. Before participating, the system could also gather relevant context about each person, such as their experience in specific fields, how much of it is tangible and verifiable, years of work in those areas, relevant certifications, and possibly general knowledge assessments. Based on that, different aspects of policy input could be weighted differently depending on relevance and demonstrated expertise. The idea is that this could filter out low-effort participation to some degree, since many people would not spend the time engaging deeply unless they care about the topic. It could also help distinguish between different levels of understanding, where someone with direct experience in a field might have more informed insight into that domain than someone without it. A.K.A You can see whether the person wrote to “Should immigrants be allowed in the US?” “no because they are gay lol, death to all Mexicans,” compared to a properly written, logical, well-phrased opinion, that would be far more helpful both for data quality and for the actual informational value of the vote. That is much more useful than simply circling the name of a president they like to watch TikTok videos about. Of course, there are serious problems with this kind of system. One major issue is governance: who designs and regulates the system itself? How do you ensure the people defining what counts as “relevant experience” are honest and not biased actors? How do you prevent manipulation, cheating, or people gaming the system by faking credentials or optimizing for whatever increases their influence score? So this kind of system might be a kind of idealized direction; it is very much utopian for now. In principle, though, it tries to move toward a model where specialization, multi-perspective input, and reduced bias and polarization lead to more informed collective decision-making, rather than relying purely on broad, undifferentiated voting or personality-driven leadership. TLDR: I don’t think pure one-person-one-vote democracy works that well because it treats everyone’s input as equally informed. I think voting power should be weighted based on things like experience, domain knowledge, and how much someone actually understands a specific issue, so people who are more informed or experienced in a topic have more influence over decisions in that area. Obviously, you’d need really solid, fair ways to measure that; it could get gamed or corrupted.
  14. Today
  15. I've tried 5-meo several times, and honestly I don't care what Leo says, It's a drug, and it can be dangerous. If it's causing you tinnitus, you may want to avoid it, as tinnitus is the brain's compensatory mechanism to damage to inner hair cells/synapses. And at least for me, it just messes up your brain circuits and neurotransmitter balance.
  16. God is what is. God's genius is that it allowed ways to block itself from awareness and ways to resume itself to awareness. This universe is the blocking mechanism. Everything here blocks. Spirituality is restoring awareness. Not many understand alas. Hopefully this clicks for some. I have talked about how to restore awareness elsewhere. I learned from ACIM.
  17. Humor is a good strategy when doing pick up
  18. I was heavily using AI to analyze everything and makes sense of why people had music preferences. I was trying to figure out why are people so grotesquely disgusted by other music genres LMAO So my writing naturally took from some of the stuff I was reading. But I wrote in my own words overall lol Leo's sonic palette and identity 😂
  19. you just made me realize something very important. Yes I used the word meaning differently than you and I used it wrong and this is important to me. In an earlier version of my theory, I said that ADHD means being insensitive to symbol. I was not quite happy with symbol so I abstracted it down to meaning. Eventually, I realized that ADHD is actually about non-commitment. It's about not sticking to your choice. The way I'm phrasing it now in an abstract way is with "point". So having ADHD is non-point being which is diffusion-being. so people with ADHD are comfortable with not making a choice. Thinking back, I realize that my mistake was that symbol=meaning-reflecting-point and I mistook meaning to be fundamental to ADHD and not point (reflection is HSP). In a nutshell I agree with you completely and thank you a lot for making me realize I had a wrong understanding of meaning. Meaning seems to be way more broad than I thought it seems to be that what which allows for reaonance. Wait this means I'm not a nihilist anymore. Also It resolves conflict between my model and the field of sense theory which is huge. I need to integrate my new understanding of meaning asap. Edit: I think it's field! Field=meaning. I was missing a non-physicalist term for field. Damn that is very satisfying. Especially since this field=meaning ontology exists and is respected (fields of sense). Also the guy who came up with it happens to teach in my city.
  20. Yup. You need to be really strategic in this game.
  21. At some point during the 80s neoliberalism started to get adopted by the Western world as a way to increase the state's GDP and economic output/competitiveness, emphasising free market values and less state intervention. The downside of such a system is that, given enough time, it eventually produces bad actors and elites who can potentially destroy the system itself and the democracy that allowed it to exist. However it also supercharges technological progress due to the principles of free market competition and the rapid commercialisation of new products, which tends to lead to high rates of flexibility and constant iterative improvement (with customer feedback serving as the end of each iteration). We can clearly see that with the rate of technological progress at this very moment. So, although the more Keynesian model of economics may lead to more decent living standards in the short term, it is actually technological progress which sets entirely new levels of living standards previously unimagined. It also leads to even more democratisation and liberalism, and we are nearing the end stages of that process
  22. 🥑" An optimistic story Thursday. Missiles fly in the sky and sirens shake the air. I jump into my apartment after three weeks that I wasn’t in it, open the refrigerator, take out the pack of ripe avocados that I bought the day before the war broke out, cut them — and they’re not ripe at all. I almost collapse mentally, look for the phone number on the package, call in anger, and a woman answers me kindly. It’s clear she’s in the middle of a drive, and suddenly I feel like the most stupid person in the world and start stammering: “Hi, um, I bought your avocados and they are uh hard, and I know there’s a world war outside and everything, but…” “No, no,” she cuts me off, “you are completely right. Unripe avocados are a failure. I’m really sorry,” she answers in a distressed voice, and asks that I give her the serial number on the package and my address. I answer, and for three seconds there is a feeling of a sane world, where there are no eternal wars and splitting missiles, only small dramas about unripe avocados. Then suddenly a siren starts to operate and we quickly end the conversation. Four days later. Half an hour ago, I receive a phone call. “Hi Amir, I’m the one from the avocados, are you by any chance in your apartment?” “Yes,” I answer. “Then I’m here outside.” I go out to the entrance of the building. She gets out of the gray jeep, says hello to me, opens the trunk that is full of packs of avocados from the Galilee and hands me two with a smile. I don’t know when all the wars will end, but there is still in me faith in the human race. And in avocados. " amirbarkol3 https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CqfA4qpCi/

  24. I have a question... If common survival-enabling knowledge is very viral aka memetic, do you think it could be said that actual truth is somewhat antimemetic or perhaps fully antimemetic? This could just be me, but it often seems like the closer to truth something is, the less memetic it is.
  25. Perhaps that is why there is a circular nature. We must come back around again & again to continue to question what hell is going on here. And until you are in a state of constant earnest questioning, you will remain forever self deceived. The process of circling back again & again is actually the process of refinement. Even confusion is a part of the refinement process for your understanding.
