  1. https://www.actualized.org/insights/being-done-with-everyone I relate to this so much, but also, this can be used as an excuse to avoid socializing out of fear, when you feel the need to build that skill, but it's scary. Also, that's harder to do when it comes to intimate relationships. What if you are in a long term relationship or a marriage with kids and you realize that now you need to lay it all down and isolate yourself and that it's not avoidance, disfunction or something to fix, it's just wnat you truly want at that time. Social matrix tells us that all this is avoidance and disfunction, and it can surely be that, until it's not.
  2. https://www.actualized.org/insights/two-sleeps When I was practicing lucid dreaming, I was waking up after 4-5 hours of sleep and staying awake for some time, and that small window was very insightful, I was in a contemplative mood, more than usual, if I didn't disturb myself with artificial lights, also I was awoken from REM sleep and dream recalling was much better and I imagine if I lived that way, that 1 hour window in the middle could be used in resourceful ways because it's like you're in slightly different state. So yeah, two sleeps make sense.
  3. Where are you from originally?
  4. 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.
  5. Like in what ways? I found his video useful. Dating advice doesn't need to come from an enlightened guru.
  6. https://www.actualized.org/insights/gaia-ambient-music This is beautiful, thanks for sharing! @Leo Gura Do you really do your pranayamas while listening to it? Doesn't it distract you?
  7. Yeah, check this. It's most definitely an AI.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Easter bunnies. Coloring eggs red on Easter.
  13. "LSD and the Mind of the Universe: Diamonds from Heaven"
  14. Yeah, software industry is being reshapend in front of our eyes. Hard to say where all these will take us.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. https://actualised.org/ Your British competitors need to up their game, lol.
  19. @Leo Gura Were you this sensitive to weed prior to your 5meo trips? Don't you think 5meo rewired you in a way that you respond to weed similar to it?
  20. Lol. And meanwhile AI tech bro CEOs are acting like all we need as a civilization is more AI. Does any of them think of implications?
  21. Did you guys listen to new Rogan and Lazar podcast? Was it any good? What do they talk about? Don't wanna invest 3 hours listening to the same thing rehashed
  22. Btw, is it just me or Claude Code got really expensive lately for less session times? This shit costs a lot of money each month.
