Are you talking about me?

Democracy is populism.

Sitting for hours at a time is not good for health. Why are you so dedicated to this pursuit of enlightenment? Is your dedication possibly another distraction?

When I wrote NPC and artificial intelligence, I had "Detroit Become Human" in mind. If you make androids wear human clothes, it would be difficult for humans to distinguish androids from human for a few minutes unless humans examine them closely.

It's possible that a person that I see has no conscious experiences of one's own. You simply cannot know without directly experiencing others' conscious experiences. In the future, non-playable characters will become numerous due to artificial intelligence. Theoretically, nothing prevents people from creating artificially intelligent robots that look and behave like humans without a self.

A human is far more capable than one thinks?

I think I will work on embodying self-responsibility for a while.

Medium answer?

While it may be impossible for imitation of ego to fool humans for very long, it can be made possible for it to fool humans for 20 minutes or days under certain circumstances. Also, if God is infinitely powerful, God can invent imitations that can fool humans for long enough.

Even if you are correct, the thought of self doesn't just go away. It's better to make the best out of it while it lasts.

If you want to take responsibility for your emotions, try these whenever negative emotions occur. Swap curiosity for negative emotions by asking questions and writing them down on your journal. If you became curious, you would respond in a much more constructive manner and use any external events as fuel for your growth. Use your higher-self wisdom Self-acceptance Accept your negative emotions Let go of events over which you have negative emotions. Let your negative emotions flow through you silently. Realize the stupidity of spending time with events or people that drag you down. Spending time with them in your mind is stupid. By doing so, you piss your potential. Spend your time on something better.

That can also work because it makes you push beyond your comfort zone. Read books outside your comfort zone.

Talk to strangers. When you talk to strangers, you actually listen to them. I think that you can also try to talk to people you know but usually don't talk with for any extended period of time. For example, if you are a university student, be curious about your professors and try to talk to them outside classes. Ask more questions about small things to push your mind in the right direction I think you can also write down questions on your journal and try to answer them over time. Read news from opposite political standing to understand issues more accurately. Go to meet-ups that are not usually in your comfort zone Find new ways to make money. Find ways to create more sources of income.

It's inspiring to see you ramp up quantity and quality of your art simultaneously.

I have compassion for some things and especially my possessions. I like buildings. When buildings hurt, I hurt. I like my computer. When my computer hurts, I feel hurt. When my computer died, I felt death.

I prioritize conscious characters over non-playable characters.

Technological advancements can reach the point where imitation of ego is indistinguishable from ego for the first 10~20 minutes. 20 minutes are long enough for many purposes. We can certainly work very hard on deliberate imitations.

Do you know a better time to develop your discipline than when you want to procrastinate or are procrastinating? When you are angry is a good opportunity to develop emotional mastery. When you are faced with a lawsuit is a good opportunity to learn what you are doing wrong. You can use fear and doubt as fuel to develop yourself and motivate yourself.

Accept that others are going to be like that.

While psychedelics can give you some keys to personal development, you still have to do personal development apart from psychedelics. You can still be a useless dirty asshole after taking psychedelics many times. It's easily possible for a person who never consumed psychedelics to be much better developed than a person who took psychedelics many times. Thinking that psychedelics lead to your personal development is like thinking that buying an expensive camera automatically develops your poor photography skill. Develop your photography skill with your affordable DSLR camera until your skills become so good that you are frustrated by its lack of features. Then, you can think about buying a more expensive camera if you have money. Develop yourself until you get your shit together before trying psychedelics. Getting your shit together includes meditation, food, exercise, sleep, water, relationships, discipline, money, etc, ...

Scale down your morning routine while your leg hurts. Scale it back up gradually. Learn to scale down rather than give up at the first sign of difficulties.

That video is soothing to me.

I find this video mentally healing.

Remember that God created physical world.

Without experimental data, that's just an imaginary argument. You can build systems to limit the scope and extent of free-riding. It can be good to have free riders if we can afford them. If we can identify free-riders, we can, for example, build systems to raise their consciousness. It can be socially better for uninspired free-riders to just idle for a while and strategize than to be forced to work at uninspiring bullshit jobs that exist solely to keep them busy and do not contribute to society otherwise.
