  1. ill wait for brain uploads
  2. lmaooo try these 3 at the same time. 1) bone broth (45 min pressure cooked bones) 2) vitamin D + k2+ magnesium glycinate: synergy 3) mtc oil. All 3 have a different cognitive effect that can be stacked and merged into one high.
  3. Why aren't you guys thinking scientifically? So you're just gonna take a stimulant every day thinking there are no consequences?
  4. @soos_mite_ah this is all a walk in the park, your level of concern is like a 10 out of 10, when it should be a 1 out of 10. At no point is your life gonna go the way you want it to go. You are not in control. Sure, you can make some decisions and if you're very lucky, it will go that direction. If your life goes as planned, you didn't live a life. All this to say, it's good to have a vision and to know yourself and all of that but just tone it down a bit because the problems you're focussing on right now are not the real problems this life will haunt you with. The problems that you see before you are first world indoctrinated values that you're told to pursue. On top of that most of what you care about now will probably change many times over every decade. You're not gonna care about any of this. When you're older, if you look back and regret that you didn't have kids, i can guarantee you lived a fantastic comfortable, easy effortless life, which you take for granted. And if it wasn't all easy and fantastic, and you still regret having kids, I guarantee it would've been much harder with kids involved.
  5. @Happy Lizard He tried doing this before multiple times and was blocked, but he learned from these mistakes and he learned to put as many loyallist as possible everywhere. It's unclear how many loyalists are in the army now.

Legal/Constitutional Changes: ⭕ Has not attempted to change term limits (yet - 2028 is the test) ❌ Cannot easily change Constitution ⚠️ Push for expanded executive power (Project 2025 proposals) ⚠️ Schedule F to replace civil servants with loyalists (ongoing) Suppressing Opposition: ✅ Rhetoric about prosecuting "enemies" ❌ Opposition parties still function freely ❌ Protests still occur without suppression ❌ Has not arrested opposition leaders ❌ Civil liberties still largely protected State-Level Control: ❌ Does not control Democratic-governed states ❌ Blue state governors actively resist ❌ Cannot override state governments ❌ States still run their own elections KEY STRUCTURAL DIFFERENCES Why Xi Succeeded: One-party state - no legitimate opposition existed No separation of powers - party controls everything No independent judiciary - courts serve the party No free press - all media state-controlled No federalism - centralized power structure No civil society - all organizations party-controlled No democratic tradition - never had meaningful democracy Weak constitutional limits - party can change rules easily Military serves party - not an independent institution Gradual process - took 6 years before removing term limits Why Trump Hasn't (Yet): Two-party system - Democrats have real power Separation of powers - executive, legislative, judicial divided Independent judiciary - judges can't be fired, rule against him Free press - First Amendment protections, cannot shut down media Federalism - 50 states with independent power Civil society - NGOs, unions, churches operate independently Democratic tradition - 250 years of constitutional democracy Strong constitutional limits - very hard to change Military serves Constitution - professional, apolitical culture Lost election - had to leave office when he lost THE 2028-2029 TEST: What to Watch For If Trump wants to consolidate power Xi-style, here's what he'd need to do by 2028-2029: Critical Actions Needed: ⭕ Systematic military purge Replace all generals with personal loyalists Change military oath/culture to personal loyalty Use military against domestic opponents ⭕ Eliminate opposition leaders Arrest Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, etc. Prosecute on fabricated charges Imprison or exile ⭕ Control all media Shut down CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo Arrest critical journalists Take over social media companies ⭕ Pack/control courts Expand Supreme Court with loyalists Ignore court rulings or purge judges Eliminate judicial independence ⭕ Override federalism Remove Democratic governors Federal takeover of state governments Control state elections ⭕ Attempt third term Try to run in 2028 despite 22nd Amendment Or refuse to accept 2028 loss Use force to remain in power ⭕ Ban opposition Outlaw Democratic Party Arrest party leaders End competitive elections ⭕ Mass surveillance state Chinese-style monitoring Social credit system Punish dissent systematically Current Reality Check: Has Trump done any of these? ❌ No Could he do these in 3 years? Extremely unlikely given structural barriers What's the actual risk? Democratic backsliding and norm erosion, not full dictatorship (yet) BOTTOM LINE COMPARISON Xi Jinping: Started with: One-party authoritarian state Ended with: Personal dictatorship Time needed: 6 years Barriers overcome: Modest (system designed for this) Status: ✅ Full consolidation achieved Trump: Started with: Democratic republic with strong institutions Current status: Strained democracy, some democratic backsliding Time in power: 4 years + 4 years (current) Barriers overcome: Few (most institutions still functioning) Status: ⚠️ Authoritarian tendencies, but NOT consolidated dictatorship Key Insight: Trump would need to overcome FAR more barriers than Xi did, because the U.S. system has much stronger safeguards. Xi was upgrading from authoritarianism to personal dictatorship. Trump would be trying to dismantle democracy entirely - a much harder task. -ai
  7. I'm not asking for a rigid map, im saying if vertical and horizontal growth isn't how you particularly view it from your paradigm. How would you view it?
  8. If you surpassed Ken Wilbur's model what is the better way of mapping it? Don't give me the answer that there is no map or something like that. I'm asking specifically where the model breaks down and how you would map it based on your models. lol
  9. Why Trump Doesn't Actually "Control" the Military Like Xi Does The Oath Difference (This Is Crucial) U.S. Military Oath: Notice: They swear to the Constitution, NOT to the President. Chinese Military Oath: This difference is everything. What This Means in Practice: In China: Military serves the Party Party leader = military commander Personal loyalty expected Disobeying = treason In America: Military serves the Constitution President commands, but only lawful orders Officers are trained to refuse unlawful orders Following unconstitutional orders = crime
  10. Imagine the last hundred million years of human society have been nothing but slavery, the past 70 years have been the pinnacle of government and resulting society. It took us 100 million years just to get the government we have today by exhaustive trial and error. A ingenious system of capitalistic government that makes powers compete against each other instead of colluding at the top. You're thinking that there must be a better way, but really there isn't. I suggest going into AI and asking it why Xi Jinping was able to remove term limits in China and consolidate power for himself at the top. And then ask yourself why it's very different for Trump and why it would be much harder for Trump to consolidate power for himself and convert things into a dictatorship. The answer is very surprising and you're gonna learn a lot. It's shocking how intelligent our government systems already are.
  11. Don't worry soon all of the movies will be written with AI.
  12. Stop thinking about people. Never think about them again. Completely do your own thing.

  14. It's OK Leo I think of you as epistemically vigilant scum. We need a rat leveling system just for this worship problem.
  15. That's perfect, but is there's gonna be options? For example, if everyone had to take 5-Meo-DMT, but that doesn't work for some people, would it be better that they didn't come?
  16. I would come, but I would have to do psychedelics that I'm comfortable with, and I don't know how sourcing would be feasible if I need something specific? People would have to bring their own? Secondly, I don't know how it would work for 40 people to all get high at the same time? lol?
  17. @Natasha Tori Maru Your a fantastic pet owner! You're going above and beyond what any normal person would do. I'm curious of what kind of meal prep are you doing?

  19. Very true, the main focus with my dog has been allergies, she slowly became allergic to dog food overtime and I carefully experimented until we found one that didn't cause these issues. Then she would relapse over and over again and we'd have to constantly change her food to avoid these allergies. The biggest problem is when she has an episode her skin would change colour and her hair would go white super fast. She deteriorate much faster than a human would. But the main insight I got from this after years of experimentation is that most dogs are ageing prematurely, deteriorating and have mood problems because they're allergic to what they're eating and their owners don't notice. A dog should never scratch. This is the key thing people don't realize. When you scratch your dog with your hand and then they do that thing where they jiggle their foot because they're stimulated this is actually a sign of an allergy and their skin is super sensitive. It's cute when we scratched their belly and then they shake their foot to mimic it, but this is actually a sign of a skin sensitivity because there allergic to the food they're eating. And so this causes them to age much faster and have a bunch of health problems while the owners and the veterinarians have really no idea what's going on. They associate everything with aging, "its just aging". They're not seeing the slow accumulated damage from these allergies. --- The second major event and you see this on TikTok is when they say "no one tells you how fast they deteriorate", and what they mean by this is that the dogs at a certain age would quickly fall apart and get old. Their hair will turn white quickly not gradually. The insight here is that when their bodies reach a certain point that they can't tolerate the allergy anymore their hair will immediately turn white and there skin will dis-colour and they're gonna show mood problems like low energy, they will also start to show large "bumbs" all over there body and thats a sign there close to death. The only solution when a dog reaches these later stages is that you have to remove the allergy and they need a lot of intensive exercise. --- Also, I have never seen a single pet survived chemotherapy... I have no idea why veterinarians even bother going that direction because the survival rate is near zero. They're better off doing anything else. Their bodies are too small and sensitive and they deteriorate and change 100x faster than humans do. And don't get me started on neutering... This is just a marketing scam. It makes no sense to remove vital hormone producing organs from an animal. Neutering causes hormonal problems that can lead to depression or anxiety and mood problems and a bunch of other issues for the animal. It has to be completely avoided. If you remove the testicles of a male human, they will have chronic depression and they need testosterone replacement therapy for the rest of the of their lives. For some reason veterinarians just bought into this ridiculous idea that this doesn't apply to animals? That's very impressive because most veterinarians do not live a life of learning and are simply repeating whatever the pharmaceutical companies have outlined for them because they don't realize the corruption in their education system.
