45 min meditation yesterday, and 3 sets of kettlebell snatches today. Both were great.

I so want to argue against this, but my thoughts are not totally clear on it. So I won't. But the teaser is that I'm not sure consciousness is a monolithic unchanging field: it seems to sit on the cusp of chaos and orderliness, unfication and complete splintering. Anyway, a conversation for a different thread. Humans definitely like to immerse and delude themselves into beliefs, and go to war and die for them. I find the unwavering absoluteness of people's beliefs incredible. They even like to tell themselves: "this is not a belief, it's a truth". Sure if you cross the road in front of a car, it will end badly, but if you've never carried it out, it's still a belief.

You should seriously study the history of unintended-consequences of tech and the incentive-landscape in which this technology gets developed and it will become pretty hard to still hold this view.

Yeah Claude does! The user said ChatGPT - so I assumed just that LLM was being engaged with. ChatGPT always tries to revert to sycophantic shit though - even with my programming. Meta-awareness is a skill very difficult to learn. Massive asset. I didn't become aware of this skill until my 30s! The blindspot amplification is REAL

That is my opinion, not an argument - and since you chose to condescend here: Which I raised earlier, I have not actually engaged you with your question, or attempted to answer it. This may have been missed. I do not have to engage in explaining why - you may ask of course - but I may just choose not answer. If you want to engage properly, you will need to define transhumanism. And present your arguments against it. Not for. I am not really interested in engaging with you regardless - as you are quite condescending to members on this forum when your ideas, opinions/beliefs are challenged. This is not an isolated incident either. I have witnessed you do this numerous times. Thought attachment. I think you have some good views and things to say. I just do not like your condescension.

It will if you ask it. All you gotta do is ask. And Claude certainly will. But yeah, if the user lacks meta awareness, it'll likely just amplify their blind spots. I catch it trying to appease me often and have to redirect it.

It's a great idea. It's the #1 self-development tool in existence if used right. The main thing is to get clear on everything it's saying and evaluate it all for yourself. Also, ChatGPT is often a bit what you might call "woke" - trying to be careful with it's responses. I found Claude is usually better, but I combine them to seek out multiple perspectives. Many "intelligent" people are threatened by it or they don't understand or haven't discovered it's value, so they'll often drastically underestimate its value and tell you to not rely on it much, but that's foolish. I can spend 4 hours with an AI going back and forth on a topic. At the end of that 4 hours, I walk away with more knowledge and development in that 4 hours than what I'd get from a month of inquiring with books, blogs, forums, etc. AI has been huge for my development.

Keep in mind that it is answering based on the opinions, data, and language of the internet. In terms of medical advices, I would always refer to a trained professional. You never know if the language bot is giving you advice from some random forum posts from 10 years ago in an effort to maintain your engagement. And this leads to the next issue; ChatGPT is sycophantic, and modelled to keep your attention, awareness and engagement. You attention is your most priceless asset. Other than that, I have had many people close to me use it for therapeutic advice and claim excellent results. The one thing I will raise is that, without having thought process awareness (ie meta-thought) the bot will not be able to tell you where your cognitive bias is. Usually you need a trained therapist to be able to dig into your thinking patterns and challenge you to break them; ChatGPT won't challenge you in this way. It has its pros and cons

@Cred Burnout is ego. Reacting to what we are saying is ego. If you stop reacting its just a flowstate. No thinking required no burnout. Unless you talking about irl burnout.

@Hojo My head is buzzing because of burnout

@Leo Gura Doesn't the blog have a RSS feed?

Well said. It is called spiritual bypassing.

Recently I have been experimenting using ChatGPT for general life advice, asking questions about conflicts at my work, how to best handle those situations, questions about not taking antipsychotic medication, etc. I'm curious what the forum thinks: Is it a bad idea to lean on ChatGPT for advice such as this? For me it sort of feels like Jarvis in the Iron Man series - a sidekick that can objectively view situations and give you feedback without emotion or distortion - but I also feel like this may be limiting my own independent thought process at arriving at my own conclusions. What do you all think? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Vacancy is a surprisingly good film. Very watchable.

This will happen alot here. This is a yoga forum. If you talk alot here you will have peace and lose your ego. Contrary to what people think ego is, they think its arguing, its actually the buzzing you are feeling. If you find yourself getting worked up thats ego, not the arguments you are having. Ego = trying to be right Non ego = being right

You can spiritually reframe value all day, but your nervous system still responds to it. If you're out at a party and ask someone "what do you do?" and they respond "I'm a reddit mod", and another person tells you they're a neurosurgeon, you will feel something different between these two responses. And that feeling comes before any thinking ever takes place. It happens before your enlightened belief kicks in. Awakening doesn't delete this circuitry. If you claim it does or deny this circuitry, you're fooling yourself. One way to not respond to value hierarchies is via dissociation, which I think is often mistaken for enlightenment or spiritual work. I too can bypass the value hierarchy with this method if I practice it enough, but I see it's the wrong approach. Dissociation can be learned, but it's bypassing, not integrating.

The real trick is never giving in with treat days, because of the way the dopamine system in the brain works, just one splurging of a chinese buffet makes it much more likely a person will eat there again and again. Treat days sound good in theory but really they just prime the brain to repeat the treat days excessively and then the weight starts to gain. Keep it off through permanent dietary changes. Avoid foods loaded with MSG, carbohydrates, and fats mixed together. Think most potato chips, crackers, cookies, hot pockets, donuts, and high carb calorie dense foods. Just don't eat them. Period. Triscuits and Sun Chips are not healthy... they load them with MSG or Yeast Extract to get you addicted to them. I use keto bread, 40 calories per slice... sugar free jelly, 10 calories per TBSP. Eat lots of frozen vegetables. Eggs (yes they are healthy, choline is good for people and most are deficient) ... fresh vegetables, mushrooms, tomato items and tomato soup. Various apple varieties (favorite is sugarbee) ... with a vitamix I like to make frozen smoothies with protein powder and frozen blueberries, or use lemon powder, liquid sucralose, and frozen strawberries to make a lemonade slushie. There's a subreddit called "volumeeating" that might help you. https://www.reddit.com/r/Volumeeating/ Ninja Cremi is good for dessert type items with minimal calories, though it's loud. It might not seem like it, but the body will reach a point where it no longer strongly craves the comfort high calorie junk item it once did, no matter what the item is. Certain foods only get eaten in the company of others, won't buy them for myself.

@Ramasta9 very interesting, thanks for sharing! Only doubt though, for example I live in Germany and right now it’s peak winter. There is no chance that any fruit would grow here naturally, even the farmers markets only have fake/GMO fruit imported from who knows where. In such a scenario, wouldn’t it make more sense to focus on a diet based on quality meat and fish and fermented vegetables? Then switch to fruit during summer? -

Gotta LOL at people posting materialistic videos and stuff like that here and posing it as godly. Retards always gonna retard. Making someone feel godly, you'd think it would be something transcendent, something beyond human understanding or capacity to comprehend, or at the very least religious songs but nah. Let's post videos of Cardi B shaking her plastic BBL ass lmfao -

Most "toxins" in the body are actually mental constructs and created stories with the actual cause being an overactive sympathetic nervous system and too much life stress, partly from poor thoughts and too much engagement in social media and media sensationalism. Really heavy metals are the main thing fasting won't take care of, and fasting isn't even that necessary if you have a happy life in general, good friends or have found your peace of mind, with a limbic brain adapted to be chill in demanding situations. The whole "natural health" space on the internet has good intentions, but there's a lot of half truths mixed in and a lot of expensive natural remedies or even inexpensive ones that don't do anything... think liver flushes, P&B shakes, drinking oxidants like MMS or hydrogen peroxide, drinking "micro water" or "declustered water" , worrying about "chronic lyme" as a cause of everything (now it's toxins in general) even things like drinking urine. All snake oil. This idea that there are toxins everywhere is largely a sensationalist fabrication, at least in western countries, thanks to progressives cleaning everything up over the years. Yes microplastics are a thing but they are not really doing anything particularly harmful. Aside from that, most people's health suffers from high carb ultra processed foods more than anything, because they are so easy to overeat and so addictive... any food that combines carbs and fats together in large amounts. It's ironic that the most contaminated foods (because they have a lot of heavy metals) are considered healthy ones... fish, certain spices commonly used in health food circles, plant based protein powders, cocoa powder, these tend to be the items with the most heavy metals. The chemicals to preserve food are not really as dangerous as they are made out to be by internet content peddlers... they mostly act as antioxidants. The worst offenders are already out of the food supply (thanks progressives) and thank RFK for redoing the food guide pyramid to get rid of the silly base of living off carbohydrates as supposedly healthy... the obesity rates have skyrocketed under this carb heavy pyramid.

@Joshe No its not. I emptied my cup, when you empty your cup you have kundalini. I already self inquired i already did all this. And I am now healing by sticking up to this hypocrisy. Yourself dosent exist. Only God exists.

Well, no you don’t agree because you are choosing to align with what society thinks is valuable. You just said you think a doctor is innately more valuable than a Reddit mod. Now you are flip flopping and saying you need to un align with society. Which is it? You have to hold yourself accountable. This is why your head is buzzing. You’re splitting yourself in two fighting to hold onto contradictions and falsehoods.
