1) That is not why I ban or unMod anyone. 2) You guys are really hung up on that one forum post. It was a hasty post that I regret making. I share raw, personal, aspirational stuff on this forum sometimes. I am sometimes eager so share a new thing I just discovered or am working on. I do get things wrong sometimes. Especially in a forum post. My standards for rigor in a forum post is much lower than a video, blog, or course. I don't even consider my forum posts to be my official body of work. I use this forum to think through my newest ideas out loud. This forum serves as a sounding-board for my ideas. Not all ideas survive. 3) You should instead be focused on all the other amazing stuff I shared with you. Be careful not to be so critical and cynical that you shoot yourself in the foot, depriving yourself of valuable insights.

Well, I wasn't seeking that out, I sorta stumbled into it.

Psychedelic

Nope. Nope. Nope. Don't want that in my mind.

I recommend you search Reddit specifically for Vynase and psychedelic use, and read people's reports. It should be okay, but just double-check if reports show any complications. You can do this trick for any med or disorder. You could also microdose mushrooms as a low-risk test. Try a 0.5g of mushrooms. You should be fine.

Feel free to post counter-arguments. I don't want an echochamber here.

This is long but good:

You are insane.

There is no mistake. I will teach Alien Consciousness. Nobody has a clue what it is. You guys still think I am playing games with you.

I doubt that steel is unsafe. Ceramic paint is def bad. Every serious kitchen uses steel to cook. If steel is not safe, nothing is safe.

Cheaper but more mediocre.

Yeah, I seen that on other podcasts. Oh the irony of MAGA.

But sometimes the AI is so poor at producing what I want that I just have to quit in disgust. You can only prompt it so many times before you go nauseous and mad.

I prefer to see everything as alive. The present moment is alive. When you watch a video, that video is being hallucinated in real time. But of course still no self.

Well, the Awakening on 5-MeO is so epic that I cannot keep my eyes closed. You will be lucky to keep your buthole closed. Eye-open translates better into everyday life. Eyes closed is more dream-like and harder to translate. I find that's not much difference. I like to play some soothing background music to drown out any outdoor noise. Chill, mellow music is good, like I've shared on the blog. It's so damn profound that it's hard to say. Usually I need to move around. It is hard to sit still. Usually I look at objects or things around me. To see them in a new light.

I have used AI to create some really good thumbnails for my videos. So yeah, there is good uses for it. But creating good stuff requires a lot of work still.

Yeah, but Microsoft is such a disgusting, evil company. Even if Microsoft is under-priced, the rest of the stocks aren't. And when the bubble pops, your Microsoft will drop 50%. What will be its P/E once the market falls out from AI? Once the chatbots prove unprofitable? Earning in tech will drop a lot. Entire customers will go bust.

No! It is not the same at all. Humans are intelligent without data.

Please note that it is okay if your views differ from mine on issues. I am not looking for only yes-men here. But this cult stuff is my red line.

That is only because text data is so much more than images.

I don't care. Such people cannot be reasoned with anyway. They are not who I work for. If I wasn't interacting with it, it wouldn't much matter. But I am not interested in interacting with intelligence so low. At the end of the day I have to be here consuming garbage that causes me to lose IQ points just reading it. You don't get to go to MIT and accuse them of being a cult. They will just kick you out. And rightly so. This idea that I am supposed to tolerate such behavior is itself wrong. No serious person would tolerate such accusations. It is like calling your profressor a rapist and then expecting him to still speak to you. No. That's not how life works. You think Actualized.org is a cult? Great! Then I have nothing more to teach you. We have nothing further to discuss. Anyone who thinks Actualized.org is a cult has no clue what I teach and will never grasp what I teach.

I am not saying that it's literally memorization. But it is made on data. If data is missing it cannot perform that function. An AI cannot draw a swordfish unless it has data for a swordfish. It cannot code a language it wasn't train on. It is not actually intelligent. But it has e ough data to make you think that it is.

@Sincerity Law of Attraction

It is too profound for darkness for me. But might work for you. I find you get more out of it eyes-open.

That possibility is certainly not lost on me. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. But buying into a historic hype cycle is crazy-stupid if you worked hard for your money. Investing requires sober, conservative thinking. Not hype, hope, and greed. If I miss the AI boom, that's not going to hurt as much as crashing out. So I err on the side of caution. The upside now is too low and the downside too high.
