I think I might have had a weird sexual dream with Leo. After seeing this thread it will never happen again.

The rise in CO2 is obviously great for plants. The rise in CO2 has made the planet greener. Also for the apocalypts out there: during the Jurassic era the CO2 levels were 20 times higher than they are today. Life still thrived. In the long run, we are saving life from the slow sequestration of all CO2 which would make the earth uninhabitable for plants. In the long run, we are restoring balance. In the long run, CO2 is great for life but releasing great amounts in such a short period of time creates violent changes that many lifeforms aren't ready for. Rising sea levels are particularly hard for humans due to us living near coasts. I think it's wise to lean hard into green tech but the end-of-life talk is straight nonsense. Thoughts?

@Scholar CO2 has been on a steady decline for 100s of millions of years. If that trend continues, which uninterrupted it would, it would result in the end of carbon based life on earth.

Nature can't balance out carbon sequestration. CO2 emissions is the only thing I'm talking about.

idk dawg. I think I can say this to anyone and they would get something out of it. Thanks! What else would virtue be? To me, it seems obvious.

Here is a simple and powerful visual model of virtue that I've created: Power is masculine, it's how far you go. Wisdom is feminine, it's in what direction you are heading. Power without wisdom can take you really far in the wrong direction. Wisdom without power takes you nowhere. This is why women are consistently decent because they tend to go in the right direction, while they might not go so far. This is also why men are more frequently great and more frequently terrible because they can go far but not always in the right direction. Virtue is how far you go in the right direction, meaning the direction of heaven instead of hell. The virtuous person is both wise and powerful. I also want to underline that it's power times wisdom and not plus.

We didn't have satellite images back then so the images we do have from more recent times might not paint the full picture even if in recent decades it has gotten greener. That's interesting. But also more CO2 => plants become more heat resistant due to decreasing number of pores which decreases water loss. The results are in on this, as shown in the video the warmest places on earth have increased the most in greenness. => Good for human life in many ways.

@Leo Gura The good effects of the greening effect are immediate as the satellite images show, so it's not clear how bad the tradeoff is even in the short term. I'm not making a case that it's worth it, just saying it's not obvious like it's made out to be. And again, it seems prudent to choose the conservative, safe option.

@Tobia It warms the planet at the same time as plants become better at handling heat by reducing the number of pores they need to get their needed CO2, thus making them not lose as much water. Just look at the satellite images in the vid, the hottest places have gotten greener. Looking at the satellite images in the video it seems that just isn't true. Radical changes will happen. Some radically bad, some radically good. Like, crop yields have increased in recent times through the greening effect. Also just more nature on land. My point is the calculation isn't as simple as it's often made up to be. If life can survive in a meaningful way in 20 times higher CO2 than today in the Jurassic era we should be able to do the same.

Aww inspiring

Excited for this to spark a debate in the rest of Europe! HELL YEE!

Keep some satanic trinkets in your pocket to balance it out. Choose your battles.

Found this today. I think it's genius. Here it is: The Narcissist's Prayer That didn’t happen. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. And if it was, that’s not a big deal. And if it is, that’s not my fault. And if it was, I didn’t mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

I've heard that Satan is a bastardization of Prometheus, the Greek god that created humans and empowered us with technology. Prometheus wants us to claim our ultimate authority. Christianity wanted to suppress this level of individual independence so they lumped Prometheus and evil together in one concept which is the Devil.

I did the stretches very inconsistently for like a year I think. On and offI. 'm still working on it. It will only stay up there if I keep it there with my fingers and doing it for too long hurts. To not waste time I only stretch while doing other things like walking, showering and cooking.

Our reasoning is the same but we have wisdom. Mainly in the form of values modeled in SD. We have gained this wisdom from co-evolving with the real world for 3.7 b years. AI fundamentally doesn't have the same life experience as our DNA does and I don't see a way around that for AI. Humans are irreplaceable. AI must always be our tool. Thoughts?

That's cool but I'm mainly interested in emotional and spiritual benefits. I have a theory that most kriya bans don't measure their progress by what they should, which is stillness of the mind and bliss. Personally, I've never experienced anything crazy like that, but I'd like to. But the reason I do kriya is because of the bliss it gives me. I can testify to this. It's a natural high. It stimulates the nervous system in a way that makes you very relaxed in the body and mind and gives a euphoric sweet feeling. It's the biggest life hack that no one knows. I so enjoy people's reactions when I tell them about it. Isn't cardio just better for health? It's also easier to get into. Also if you lift and try to build muscles you need to eat more which would strain your stomach. You don't need to eat that much to gain cardiovascular health. Big biceps looks good but I doubt they give health benefits. What the heck does a modern person need muscles for outside of core strength? Speaking as someone who used to be a buff gym rat and then couldn't work out for years of gut-related health problems who've just begun to run.

@Shakazulu Can you share some of your most profound mystical experiences from kriya?

@Jannes The fine balance of survival instinct, passion, joy, love and beauty. All integrated into a whole to maximize the complexification of god.

The concern is with hacking and other security risks. We will use the same AI to find all security flaws and patch them up. We will just end up with unhackable systems. For every 1 rouge AI there will be 1000 AIs working against it. AI is safe. Full speed ahead!

@Ayham No need to do it for that long. You can work up to it if you want but you can get results at shorter time too. For me the technique is crazy strong, I start shaking and get a lot of energy.

@ronda was it salt form or freebase?
