No. That is the wrong analogy. The right analogy is if he identified all of food with dead raccoons. Which would be stupid.

Natural is extreme extroversion.

That makes it impossible to predict what will happen.

Great work!

If someone's idea of food was a dead skunk they scooped up from the road, then I would make fun of them just like Stephen Fry's notion of God. And you would be here trolling me about it, defending the eating of dead skunks.

Of course he wasn't. That is his problem, not mine. With a mind as dense as his, it is not possible to know God.

Evil, Lol.

Some of these are something else besides stupidity. Be careful not to blame every vice on stupidity.

Walking is for Boomers

@zurew Don't make excuses for people who insist on thinking about God is stupid ways. It is Stephen Fry's responsibility to know what he is speaking against.

That is a dangerous trap. I say advanced things which require direct experience of them. But regardless, you are imagining your birth. No point in pretending otherwise.

No I dropped 338 reels in the Vault this month.

Ah yes, my side gig.

It depends on how it is done. It needs to be done in a very careful, intelligent way, not as just whining and ideology. What I am looking for is a deep appreciation of the depth of the problem, an understanding of the intelligence of the systems that are being criticized.

Enhanced Games? So just like the normal Olympics but less enhancement.

Mice in wheels must be doing some deep work

Fucking children is about as non-conformist as it gets.

Well, yeah, but the question is how to get into deep work.

No one is asking you to deny feelings. Most people place feelings over truth and that is the mistake.

No. Good music helps. Rest and relaxation helps. Driving helps.

What??? That is not my position. I am not some logical robot who denies emotions and feelings. Of course we deal with emotions in this work. What I said was that Reality is not built around your feelings, and that feeling cannot be prioritized above truth. Just because feelings are not the #1 value does not mean they not a value at all. I would be the first to criticize any worldview or approach that dismissed feeling as nothing. "Facts don't care about your feelings" is a form of stupidity.

I never get headaches no matter how long or how deep I think. I just get exhausted, hazy, burnt-out, or sleepy. I have to be in the right mood to think deeply, otherwise it doesn't work well. I have to find a flow state. And that state/mood doesn't last more than a few hours.

I certainly get exhausted from deep contemplation. I can only do some hours of it per day. Deep thinking literally strains the brain. It is like running raytracing on your graphics card and the fans go into overdrive.
