Taking that attitude is epistemically irresponsible. There are many ways to posture as epistemically responsible when one actually isn't.

No, unless you are mindlessly believing its answers.

@Joshe AI can be used responsibly, but mostly it won't be, because the people using it never cared about truth in the first place. Epistemically irresponsible people will use AI to double-down on their biases because they don't know any better.

I don't even know what that means. The world does not need saving. But it will definitely evolve mankind to higher ways of living. We are talking about how to get mankind away from living like animals. Sex trafficking minors is animal behavior.

Enjoy not-knowing and discovery. The process of truth-seeking is exciting and rewarding. Savor the discovery process. You don't need to have all the answers today. The journey to Truth is as important as Truth itself.

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.

@aurum Good points. One additional point: There will be intermediate stages of intelligence before we reach that holistic, benevolent, ultimate intelligence. That intermediate intelligence could be unholistic and corrupt, especially since it was made by corrupt greedy corporate hacks.

This guy was probably drunk or on drugs.

Yes. It doesn't need to be forceful, just focus on other constructive things.

I would not equate it to frame. Lots of epistemic scumbags have strong frame. Frame is not the same thing as caring about truth.

Lesson is, don't be an asshole

I don't see the purpose. Of course AI can sustain a meaningful conversation. That is not in question. The AI would agree with almost everything I say, so it wouldn't be a debate and it would not be very interesting. And I am not going to use AI to validate my work.

It depends on what she is charging that money for. Just a meet and greet? Then it's wrong. But if she is offering a multi-day workshop then that's okay. I did the math on running workshops, and charging less than $1500/seat just doesn't make sense given the labor and hassle of organizing it. But this is for a multi-day, serious workshop. A meet and greet should not cost more than a couple hundred bucks. Tony Robbins shit is a rip off. The more popular a teacher is, the more their events become rip-offs and cash-grabs. Tony Robbins is the pinnacle of that. Everything Tony does is a cash-grab.

The real way is to make permanent changes to your diet. Eliminate foods like refined carbs permanently, and you will not regain the weight. You are fat because you eat the wrong foods. If you eat whole meats, fruits, and veggies you will never be fat.

Piers Morgan is the Jerry Springer of YouTube.

That is a good perspective. Bashar says quality things. Smarter than any of these fool tech bros.

Of course I don't expect AI to actually make it soulful. I was looking for a parody of soulful. Feel free to take the idea and run with it. I intended this as a viral parody song.

You need to drop the memory. Stop reliving it. And let time pass. That's how you get over a bad trip. And learn your lesson: Next time, don't take large doses. You can't die on a moderate dose, so there is no need to worry about it.

Yes

Stay safe

Sorry for your situation. Psychedelics are very good for healing trauma but you have to be careful with them and know what you're doing. Use them responsibly. Using them a couple of times will not be enough. You'd need to use them repeatedly over months and years to make serious progress. I think you should also give therapy more of a chance. There are good therapists out there, and that could really help you. However, therapy is costly, so if you are low on money, psychedelics are the cheap DIY option. Find a therapist who specializes in abuse and trauma healing. I also recommend reading books on how trauma works and trauma healing. Teal Swan has a good book on trauma healing. Read it: https://amzn.to/4rT6l0N But just healing trauma is not going to give you a sense of life purpose or motivation. That's something you need to work on separately. Sounds like you're just missing a bunch of basic self-help work unrelated to your abuse.

You need a miligram scale or a micro scoop like this: https://amzn.to/3MYzLeZ You could snort it, but that is much less pleasant than plugging. Plugging is the best method. https://www.actualized.org/insights/how-to-plug-psychedelics

3mg is too small. 10mg is where you start. Even that is fairly small. 20mg is a proper dose.

It is about having an accurate view of reality vs hype. If AI was spoken of without hype I would have no problem with it. All I want is reality on this issue. Not sci-fi fantasies.

Please quote his insult. It is a long thread and challenging for me to find.
