That's why I need to write the book. It is overdue.

It is not close to done. It will require at least a year of consistent work. But my time is split between that and videos and blog and appearing new podcasts and chronic health problems. A lot. If I wrote everything I plan to write, it would easily be over 1000 pages. 300,000 words+ But I may need to split that into 2 books to make it more marketable. Not sure yet. I'm not sure it warrants a whole new video. I have two videos already covering that topic. But that is a topic I plan to address in my book. I also have some old blog posts about it. And maybe some more blog posts in the future. Cheers!

Yes, Michael Pollan is shallow.

Early bird gets the worm. Haha! But it is proper that Feynman's estate had that video taken down. It is an abuse of his voice. But the content was gold. Oddly conflicting. To explain how your mind constructed all of Reality.

You are comparing incomparable things. Painting paintings is so easy compared to making a game or a film. These things are not even in the same universe of difficulty. You are a genius if you can even ship a game.

If we could we would. It looks easy in your head.

None for me.

AI is not a scam, but it is overhyped. Using AI to make music is not a scam, but it is problematic and limited in many ways. A CEO's job is to run a profitable company. So he is doing his job. His job is not to make good music or good musicians.

To some degree. But its more about the density and depth of the insights. My writing style is pretty causal and simple. Some verbal wit, but I'm not trying to impress people with fancy language.

The ego might tell itself that, but when the rubber meets the road the ego will not be able to stomach that much self-sacrfice. Socialism would work is we were all Awakened, egoless saints.

Some people have permanent state changes. Martin Ball claims to be one. The baseline state returns to normal, however your mind is permanently changed, so you don't see reality the same way even when you aren't high. There are permanent changes, but they are not to state per se. State is important but it's not the only important factor in this work. I am not high right now, but I relate to my present experience as God. I don't need to be high to recognize God all around me.

Because the book needs to be much more potent and cohesive. It is not a random asortment of things I say.

Even their skill is overrated. Of course they have skill, but there are so many skilled artists whose names you'll never hear. It is not skill that made Picasso a household name. Was he skilled? Of course.

You can be highly social without caring about stutus or money. This is like what hippies are. However, you are right that people who chase money also tend to chase status and they tend to socialize a lot.

Whoooosh! Over your head.
