  1. Past hour
  2. Because their actions in Venice portrayed an entire country in a one-dimentional and unrealistic way and therefore it wasn't fair criticism and many Israelis are right to be outraged by that.
  3. Dating can be distraction. You have to develop self awareness into why you even want to be dating. What are you seeking and why?

  4. Dating is a distraction

    Rafael Thundercat replied to Butters's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    So dont date low-cosncious woman.
  5. I agree. He’s saying correct things intellectually but I had the same feeling that he wasn’t directly conscious of God. It was a change of pace from the usual discussions Cliffe has with people.
  6. But the mechanism is the same. The cheapening of civilians lives in muslim states and the willingness to accept dozens of killed civilians for one terroroist. The undelrying thinking is not unique to Israel. We have seen it in other Western militaries as well. And Gaza is far more densely populated precisely because of the population difference you mentioned.

  8. I think that's why scientific discoveries, such as atoms, wouldn't be discovered without imagination, regardless of how accurately the imagination reflects the actuality of the discovery beforehand.

  9. Enlightenment Work

    One of the things I did was take a ghee called Panchagavya Ghrutum, which literally contains cow dung and cow urine.
  10. Yes, that's my experience cause we're working on a single big project that's been in development for multiple years. I do this with my own side-project, which is much more fun than a company one because I get to play around a lot.
  11. I just wanted to share some progress I've made recently on my journey towards enlightenment or nirvana, and hear some of your guys' thoughts. My mind seems to be enlightening itself. It's inherently doubtful of it's own belief systems and worldviews. But it's on all the time, and I'm getting little to no sleep. Progress wise, it has skyrocketed. I'm a different person everyday.

  12. Thought Art 📓

  13. Well again, "we were never meant to XYZ" is a relatively (in)valid statement that in one sense is true and in another sense is untrue. As a matter of fact, I would argue that what we call life is nothing but a continuous and neverending "waking up" process. Without this ongoing process, there could and would be no experience of reality, because where there is no evolution, there is no change and therefore no contrast. But of course, that's just another relative perspective, so make of it what you will.
  14. Known but never seen. Felt but never touched.
  15. Okay, I understand what you are saying, and I have no quibble with. I agree with you. That’s what I’m showing here in this thread. We were never meant to wake up to the totality of absolute being because only the relative is experienced, not the absolute.
  16. Interesting, did you stop for that reason? I am aware of that. Although through medicine history we've found ingenious ways to solve a myriad of health issues, we've barely scratched the surface. The hard thing to tame is not necesarily external agents but the body itself. The body is a perfect system with almost infinite ways that it self-regulates. But with enough vision we will understand a lot more. Lack of knoglede has always been a temporary obstacle, as shown throughout history. But again, it is not wise to underestimate how seamengly unrelated things impacts healthcare integrity. We need to have holistic lenses. You need to be aware how your country's affairs impact the health system of it too. Not only the current state of medicine in terms of the discipline.

  20. Some thoughts

    Ulax replied to Ulax's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    I watched the shows: Band of Brothers and The Pacific. What amazing shows. I also watched Generation Kill. ---- I might make a cybersecurity youtube channel and record my cybersecurity journey.

    Fashion trends by season as a "must have". Especially fast fashion, but it could be anything, really. Makeup trends, etc. How people style their hair and do their eyebrows as a trend, usually considered in 5-10 year time cycles. "Quiet luxury" from people who don't have luxury (which just leaves "quiet" lol), as a means of attempting to emulate those who "have". Plastic surgery trends changing every year or two, if not significantly because of the evolution of plastic surgery techniques. (You have to go out of your way to keep up with what is happening if you're not in that world, personal I find the "art" aspect of it rather interesting from a surgeon's artistic/ aesthetic perspective more than anything else, not just the "doctor"/ applied science part.) The unfortunate souls who ended up being human guinea pigs and now have filler stuck in their face and migrating around, even though they were told by professionals that they could get it removed at any times. Woops. "Natural beauty" which is so often very high effort (like if you're talking about very well applied makeup looks). Clean girl aesthetic. Everyone who aggressively did the whole "body positivity" thing in the 2010s and then changed their tune recently because of GLPs (assuming that their motivation is aesthetics not an attempt at health). Not that you can't change your mind, but...... East Asian makeup and aesthetics. How incredibly and ruthlessly homogeneous beauty standards are on the mainland. The Korean plastic surgery industry. Double eyelid surgery there and how commonplace it is, to the point where some Korean parents will gift it as a high school graduation gift to girls.
  23. I listed out about 20 examples I found on the previous page if you're curious. It actually happens even more than I expected it to.

  24. will AI wipe out IT jobs

    something_else replied to Ramanujan's topic in Life Purpose, Career, Entrepreneurship, Finance

    I'm actually loving my job more than I ever have. Though I did have that feeling ffor a period of time, as did my coworkers. I'm lucky though the company I work for is small and listened to the dev team when we were complaining that the current system wasn't working. We've now restructured very fast to get the most out of AI tools. This restructure has actually made me enjoy my job a LOT more. Here is a brief summary of the restructure. Before Team of 8 devs, 2 product managers, 1 designer Split into two squads of 4 devs Each time works on a big project which takes 1 to 3 months to complete Architecture of the solution is planned by the tech lead Tickets are written by the tech lead for each dev Devs pick up the tickets and implement Design and product team work very separately from everyone else, almost exclusively with the tech lead After Team of 8 devs, 2 product managers, 1 designer Each dev works on a their own 1 to 3 month project, assigned to them based on preference and skill They form a 'Pod' with our designer, one of the product managers and a tech lead (designers, product and tech lead are distributed across multiple pods) The dev plans the architecture themselves They write their own tickets The dev ultimately has complete ownership of that project end-to-end Summary This works incredibly well with AI coding agents. The previous setup is more traditional agile, and with AI coding agents it was a nightmare. Everybody in a squad is producing a lot of code for the same projects, so everybody is stepping on each other's toes. At the same time, you end up feeling like a meat interface for the AI agent because you are just told what tickets to pick up, then you put them into Claude, review the results, then iterate on it to a solution. There is little architectural thought involved as the tech lead tended to handle that part early on. In the new setup I get to pick my own projects, plan out complex architectural solutions to them myself, break it down into a plan, break that down into tickets, implement each ticket, and work closely with product and designers the whole way along. In the end I have a single project which I feel completely responsible for and I love it.
  25. Also, they don't understand that, regardless of how limited their imagination is, any object they can imagine exists as a potential that will emerge within the infinite holarchies of their own sensory fields if they zoom in or out far enough.
