Go for it, it's fun. I ran a half-marathon last year and it was fun, physically challenging but I trained for it and I'll probably do it again this year. I think there's nothing unhealthy or something to deconstruct about running a half-marathon, you'll get fitter in preperation for it. Just don't run half-marathons daily or weekly, is the point.

Like in what ways? I found his video useful. Dating advice doesn't need to come from an enlightened guru.

Yeah, check this. It's most definitely an AI.

Didn't you find it meaningful to find out what you were capable of in consciousness work? You just want to know your limits in the field that you are interested in. But taking it to the actual dangerous limits is stupid, of course. But for example, if you are a fat slob and you are interested in what your body is capable of, looks-wise and also performance-wise, it motivates you to pursue some of those fitness goals. It's another matter if that makes you happy or not ultimately, but at least you derive some meaning for some time.

https://www.actualized.org/insights/mt-everest-conformity This reminded me of a mantra that ultra runners have: "Death before DNF" (Did Not Finish) Of course is an over-exaggeration, it just shows an attitude that's needed to endure something very physically challenging. But most of those endurance athletes prepate for their races, but that assumes health, genetics, proper motivations, etc. The thing is, it's hard to know your limits when you're too afraid to go near them. It feels important to know what you're capable of before you die. Feels meaningful to find that out.

I'd rather shoot myself in the head than do what the guy in that video does. But yeah, if you somehow completely remove claustrophobia out of me, that might change. Those people have like 0 claustrophobia.

Would you consider caving a conformity? Why the fuck would you wanna do this? But I don't think it is, there must be a separate reason that excites these guys to do this very niche thing. I just don't get it. Climbing mount everest reminded me of this. I don't get why you should do that either.

Easter bunnies. Coloring eggs red on Easter.

How did you do that?

"LSD and the Mind of the Universe: Diamonds from Heaven"

Yeah, software industry is being reshapend in front of our eyes. Hard to say where all these will take us.

Thanks for sharing! I really liked his book, these should be good. Since reading his book, I'm in search for some book similar to it, but haven't found yet.

What about the Burning Bush from The Bible? Maybe Moses was smoking some weed It would be cool if 10 commandments of Moses was actually derived from cannabis.

Good stuff, but what happens when the homework these teachers give to students are done with AI as well? Education and guidence for responsible, ethical uses of AI is good, but I don't see an emphasis and warnings on how this whole thing can be abused by lazy and irresponsible students.
