No point in yearning for what one already believes one has.

@AtmanIsBrahman God told me to tell you to give me all your money. Don't shoot the messenger.

Thanks. I have like 100 more to add.

We should be careful here. It is not entirely clear how unspiritual Rockefeller was. Working hard doesn't necessarily mean one has no spirit.

I did 12 days of zero food. It was hell and zero obvious benefits came of it.

It is not even close to AGI. If you give AI no data, the AI will be stupid as a rock. But a small child with almost no data is still intelligent and has GI. Intelligence is not more data. You are more intelligent than any AI and you have a billion times less data. So obviously data cannot be what AGI is about.

Too extreme and unneccessary.

@AION Become conscious of how you use others for survival. That is all. The shame you can drop in the trash.

Or 100% brain damage

1) It's very expensive for something which you should learn to do innately, which is control your eating habits. Now you are a slave not only to food but also to Big Pharma. 2) Long term side effects are very unknown. Notice the insane hypocrisy: Covid vaccine is awful Big Pharma money grab mind control scheme with terrible unknown side effects that could kill half the population. But Ozempic is A-okay as long as it makes my ass smaller with zero effort.

The issue is more existential than practical. You are surviving unconsciously without understanding what you are doing. This is being pointed out to you. Am I shaming you for being selfish? Or are you going to shame your relations when they don't serve your survival?

I think Lenin was too egotistical to want a successor

Anyone here ever try sarsaparilla? I tried it recently for the first time on a whim.

I'm not saying it's an outright lie. The distortions are more subtle than that. There are many ways to massage and frame what happened in this case. And of course AI can find unseen connections between different fields of data. What is the connection between Hitler and a kangaroo? I'm sure AI can come up with something that no human has thought about before there. If you put all the world's data into a box, that box can find interesting new ways that data interconnects with itself.

@ROOBIO Huzzah!

Yes, this is true. I have been considering turning future quotes into HTML text. But not sure if it will look as nice.

I'm making this thread to collect every important video or source of information I find about understanding Israel's deceptive behavior. I've found dozens upon dozens of important videos, too many to fit on the blog. So I'm going to keep adding them here. Feel free to add your own. This is not a thread about debating the Israel-Gaza war. I want to build up a playlist of quality videos for people who want a deep understanding of Israel's deceptive behavior -- the underbelly, if you will. This playlist does not focus on understanding Hamas or Arab terrorism or the latest news about the Gaza conflict (since we already have a thread for that). Warning, this list will be pretty negative as it focuses on uncovering deception, propaganda, bias, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and deconstructing illusions. I see a lot of deception and bias about Israel in mainstream western media which I want to dispel. That's what this playlist is about. This is part of my study of self-deception and self-bias. Sorry if this doesn't seem fair, but this is what I needed to study to unravel the deceptions. This is part of my own sense-making journey. Feel free to discuss any of the videos or share your own. Be mindful not to share low quality, hateful, or misleading/untruthful material. The point here is not be deliberately negative but to gain a deeper understanding of the Israel situation. I will delete any low quality material posted here.

The YouTube recommendations algorithm keeps getting worse and worse, suggesting shallow crap. We need to crowd-source this problem. Let's begin keeping a list of the best, unknown YouTube channels. I'm always looking for high-quality channels related to philosophy, psychology, political science, sociology, history, documentaries, geography, travel, etc. I'm looking for serious channels with mature people who talk about mature subjects. Not drama, not culture wars, not clickbait, not entertainment. Channels with interesting, high-quality content. Channels that are educational and add to our understanding of the world. These channels usually have fewer subscribers, less popular. If you know of such channels, if you find new channels of this kind, please share them here. When you share the link, please write a few words about what the channel is about and why it's worth watching. I will share the best of these suggestions on my blog as well. Thank you. Examples of the kind of channels I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDissenterRL/videos https://www.youtube.com/@WHATISPOLITICS69/videos https://www.youtube.com/@SoftWhiteUnderbelly/videos https://www.youtube.com/@thestoa/videos https://www.youtube.com/@IntegralNaked/videos https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkReligion/videos

Fixed. Thanks

It has been challenging to find a good icon. I plan to replace it in the future when I find something better.

@YIDIRYIDIR It applies to me too. I have to be constantly vigilant to not talk too much. The difference is that I'm Leo and most people are not If every content creator was like me then the internet would be a very different place. But you should be suspicious of how someone like me can talk so much. Suspicion is not necessarily guilt.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you like it. Not sure how to fix that. But thanks for reporting. Hard to say. Perhaps 30%, if you exclude politics and spirituality/philosophy/epistemology. 1) It's bonus content for fans. 2) Because the main channel is not intended for short content. Yes, it's a bit backwards but ultimately in your favor. My channel was designed long before short content existed. If I was doing it all again from scratch today then it would be structured otherwise, but I can't change all the work I did. I don't have an update on this. The course is not ready.

Fixed.

Fixed. Fixed. Fixed. - - - - - - - - Thanks for reporting all those.
