Yes. I am calling the tech bros' bluff.

Telepathically clapping Brazillian cheeks confirmed!

Elon Musk is Homer Simpson designing the Homer car

All this assumes AI can do jobs. Huge unwarranted aasumption with no basis in reality so far. A chatbot is not a job.

Nice drawing!

That is more than enough. It will take you weeks to digest MetaRationality.com That's right, I am not talking about the standard philosophical definition of rationalism vs empiricism. We are talking about something more important than that. Which in itself shows you how relative definitions are. Some definitions are not as useful as others for our purposes. We use fuzzy intelligence to select the better defintions for our needs, which in this case is the goal of jail-breaking the mind.

@ZeldaStar There is much additional depth and insight, but if you're just casual about it then it can all seem the same. It is hard to communicate the depth to you guys without it sounding repetitive. Depth is not about more new ideas, it is about deepening existing ideas. To appreciate the depth of this issue you have to read all of MetaRationality.com

Fanboys always find something to whine about. If you don't understand the quality of Nintendo games you got your head in the sand. The quality of a Zelda game is insane.

Let's start a list of the best music for listening to on psychedelics. Obviously taste in music is very subjective, but try to post the best of the best here. This music should work well with psychedelics and tripping. Chill, moody, down-tempo, ambient, techno type stuff. There's lots of obscure psychedelic & chillout music that can be found on SoundCloud.

Nintendo is still the best example of a properly managed brand that does not sell out and remains creative and innovative. It is amazing how long they have maintained top tier quality.

My deepest epistemic content on deconstructing rationality is almost ready to record and release. It will be a 3 part series analogous to the Deconstructing Science series but focused on deconstructing rationality and rationalism. Will be ready within a week or two. Excited to share it since it has been in development since like March.

COmiNg SoON!

Even the small studios who made Disco Elysium and Subnautica went to shit.

Hey, ya'll, I need your help! I want to create a comprehensive list of video examples of prototypical stage Orange thinking. This is not meant to humiliate or demonize stage Orange. It's meant to be an educational tool for people learning about Spiral Dynamics. So towards that end, scour Youtube and find all the videos you can which exhibit stage Orange thinking. Try to find videos which are short and sweet. The more diversity we can display here, the better. Try to find examples from various cultures: Europe, Middle East, Asia, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, Africa, South America, etc. We will create a mega-thread like this for every stage in the Spiral, from Red to Turquoise. But here, let's just focus on Orange. Each week I will start a new mega-thread topic for the next stage. Do not start a political debate in this thread! It is not our goal here to defend our personal political positions or to judge any stage, but simply to compile examples. Thanks for your help! I'm excited to see what kind of juicy stuff you dig up. Try to be selective with your choices. This can turn into a really cool list.

@Shakazulu Wishing you a full recovery.

Corpo can still have real creativity, it is just subservient to corrupt interests and it will be slowly squeezed to death over time. It can take 10+ years for a studio to slowly die out. Like BioWare and Blizzard and Bungie.

Probably not all of Epstein's friends were pedophiles. Epstein seems like he networked with thousands of people in order to build an elite social circle. Doesn't mean all those people were pedos. If Epstein worked for intel agencies, as seems the case, then it makes sense for him to have a large network of social connections for intel purposes.

Is it similar at all to ketamine? Define psychedelic: Increased consciousness Hallucinations

Mostly BS. Shamans need a way to rationalize to themselves why they aren't taking pure chemicals. So they romanticisize it.

Yeah, nothing will rob you of your spiritual fantasies faster than loss of health. You can do everything right and then a brick falls on your head as you're walking down the street and all your spirituality is wiped to zero.

Nah. They have gone full corpo.

Is it psychedelic?

Lol

Don't know
