Love, Truth, Good, Beauty are absolutely real. So problem solved!

I don't want to answer that because you need to figure it out for yourself, directly. Anything I say to you about that, you are going to believe, and this issue cannot be reduced to belief.

Yes! It's that simple. But also Love, Truth, and Good.

I mean something funny. Yes, I have a monkey book. Nebulosity is a bitch

Yes, some of us know what we are talking about. Knowing is possible. You know you got a butthole.

@Thought Art I was not denying your psychology, just adding monkey psychology to it. Gotta study how monkeys think to understand humans.

Don't forget monkey psychology

Don't forget that we are all devils behind the scenes. So this is nothing special to Christians.

Obviously it's not just about words, it's also about learning the grammar. That's why sentences are necessary. You need to see a lot of sentences to train the grammar into your neural network. You gotta train your mind like an LLM. That's how you learn language quickly and efficiently.

A good exercise for you.

Yes, that is a thing. However, it is not the highest realization of God. As long as you worship Jesus, it is not the highest realization. It is possible for a Christian mystic to realize God so deeply that he drops worshiping Jesus. But in that case he is no longer a Christian, he's just God. And that's what I'm trying to lead you guys towards. Many Christian mystics don't go all the way. They still cling to Christian dogma and worship Jesus, even if they have mystical experiences of God. There is still an otherness there. God and Jesus are seen as something other and higher than oneself. Spiritual visions are not the same thing as God-Realization. You can have mystical visions of angels and Jesus, but that's not God-Realization and a Christian will not know that difference, confusing it with God-Realization.

He's one of the higher stage Christians.

The blog text size has not changed and it is displaying properly on mobile and desktop. You had some unusual setting in your previous browser which artificially increased the text size. How it is displaying now is how it is coded to display. Yes, it requires a bit of a pinch-zoom on mobile because the font size is small. Ctrl++ increases any website's font size on desktop. My mobile browser (Samsung) has an option of increase font size for any website. Any half-decent mobile browser should have that. And it works with my blog.

I knew a pickup guy exactly like that and he was a national chess master.

@Thought Art Take it easy.

Wtf did I just read?

Sure, but you can skip all the culture and just play online against an AI or human player. Consuming chess culture is completely optional.

That's just the culture, not the game itself. Why should one asshole ruin an entire game?

P.S. That's why you don't get monkey as pet.

A technical deconstruction is necessary to advance science's understanding of itself. Science is like Darth Vader. We are not trying to kill him, we are trying to redeem his lost soul, because science is not going away. Science needs a rational doorway to God. I want to create that doorway.

The exhausting clarity is good and necessary even for the intuitive because otherwise your understanding will be too murky. The value of the series is not to vaguely intuit that rationalism is wrong, but to clearly, techncially see why it is wrong. A New Ager can intuit the main point of the series but the New Ager will not have the sharpness and depth of understanding that comes with knowing all the details of the series. This technical clarity is also important to be able to argue and push back on rationalists once they start spitting their logic at you.

There is another very cool queen sca in this game with black's knight to G4, followed by a knight's smothered mate. If only white didn't have a knight at D3. In that case white would lose his queen and the game. White's king is dangerously smothered by his own pieces. Not a smart position for white.

User @outlandish suggested we start a 5-meo mega-thread, as people seem to have lots of general questions about it. You can still create your own individual threads about 5-meo, and trip reports shouldn't be posted in this thread, but otherwise, consider this the place for general 5-meo discussion. Here's a link to Erowid's 5-MeO-DMT Vault, which has a lot of basic information. Note: Do not ask questions here about how to source psychedelics. That is against our Forum Guidelines, so it will be deleted.

Bro, that's why you gotta play Chess 960. It's chess minus all conformity. Give it a try.
