I think my ability to think is actually far more powerful than I realize. My greatest limiting factor has been my survival concerns. I think as I solve them I can do some very deep contemplation. My mind has been unlocking some interesting types of logic that is sprawling and integrative.

Thanks for sharing. Careful out there with large doses.

I have a large Egocentric Bias in social relationships that is highly based on wrong assumptions and guesses. I suspect this is due to being alone to often in my life. I benefit from more social relating.

You know what? Here is all 20 from chat gpt: Certainly! Here are 20 types of cognitive errors: Confirmation Bias: The tendency to search for, interpret, and remember information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions. Anchoring: Relying too heavily on the first piece of information encountered (the "anchor") when making decisions. Availability Heuristic: Estimating the likelihood of events based on their availability in memory; events that come to mind more easily are presumed to be more common. Overconfidence Effect: The tendency to overestimate one's own abilities or the accuracy of one's beliefs. Hindsight Bias: The tendency to see events as having been predictable after they have already occurred. Representativeness Heuristic: Assessing the probability of an event based on how similar it is to the typical case, rather than on actual statistical probability. Self-Serving Bias: Attributing positive events to one's own character but attributing negative events to external factors. Fundamental Attribution Error: Overemphasizing personal characteristics and ignoring situational factors when judging others' behavior. Framing Effect: Drawing different conclusions from the same information, depending on how it is presented. Sunk Cost Fallacy: Continuing a behavior or endeavor due to previously invested resources (time, money, effort) rather than current benefits. Negativity Bias: Giving more weight to negative experiences or information than positive. Bandwagon Effect: The tendency to adopt beliefs, ideas, or behaviors because others are doing so. Cognitive Dissonance: The discomfort experienced when holding two or more conflicting cognitions, leading to attempts to reduce the inconsistency. Illusory Correlation: Perceiving a relationship between variables (typically people, events, or behaviors) even when no such relationship exists. Halo Effect: The tendency for an impression created in one area to influence opinion in another area. Gambler's Fallacy: The belief that future probabilities are altered by past events, when in reality they are independent. Base Rate Fallacy: Ignoring general information (base rates) and focusing on specific information. Projection Bias: Assuming that others share the same beliefs, values, or experiences as oneself. Egocentric Bias: Overestimating the extent to which one's own actions or experiences are noticed or considered by others. False Consensus Effect: The tendency to overestimate how much others agree with our own beliefs, values, or behaviors. Understanding these cognitive errors can help in developing strategies to mitigate their effects, leading to more rational and objective decision-making. 4o ChatGPT can make mistakes.

Fundamental Attribution Error: Overemphasizing personal characteristics and ignoring situational factors when judging others' behavior. - Chatgpt prompt Also, a tricky one when you break it down and integrate it into a larger web. This is a huge error! I was reading through the list of cognitive errors and I thought this was an interesting one to share.

Thanks for sharing that. I don't really know the truth. I wonder if I put a bunch of people with degrees with nutrition in a room who would agree. The thing is, I've seen people with high levels of education saying many things which conflict with one another. I am not convinced nutrition in the west is a mature science. I think eating balanced is the best approach. I am still exploring what that means for me. The problem with Veganism is that it is an identity and a belief system. There is also a lot of social pressure as it's a highly social affair. ie approval from other vegans. I also think the bias towards death is something the Vegans should question. I've recently been reading a book called Cosmic Nutrition by Mantak Chia. I think it offers a lot of interesting ideas around nutrition. I think there are solid principles to follow, such as seasonal eating, eating balanced, eating the right proportions and balancing Yin and Yang. Meat is fine to eat, but from this model it is considered extreme Yang. I still have to explore what this means in more detail, but I think the way you eat matters and not creating some sort of identity or idealogy around it. I think if you clearly define health as Mantak Chia does in the book you can then work to eat and live accordingly to the principles of effective interaction around health, nutrition, and ecology.

Infinity, is it a trap? I don't know. But, I recently had an experience that had me question everything. It felt like a trap at the time but it also was the truest thing I ever understood and it was hard.

To me idealogy is something I've learned to avoid. Generally, I don't eat meat. But, Feel fine if I eat it or don't eat it as long as I am eating well.

Let’s bring some maturity guys. What is a conscious conversation about this topic look like?

Could someone be vegan and healthy?

I wish to simply be well and wish well to others

Brian Johnson just shared this on YouTube. I thought it was funny. Of course, it doesn’t explain all illness or lack of health. But, for many people I think this is true. It’s true if we don’t set the intention to develop a system of healthy habits in Mind, Body, Spirit that we will needlessly suffer. We suffer more than just from the potential for disease. But, because we don’t address our minds we think toxic low quality thoughts. Because we don’t address our mental models we have largely dysfunctional mental models. Our thoughts and mental models are largely grossly inaccurate/ partial interpretation of what is taking this. This can affect many areas of your life to how you feel daily, what you think of yourself and others and how you relate to your overall relation to each area of your life. I think as well that our thoughts play a key role in our mental health or lack thereof. Unless we develop a system of habits to address our thinking from various levels we will forever be trapped in thoughts of illness, negative emotions, thinking negatively about self, a thing, an event, etc separation, arbitrary thinking, limited thinking, thinking that is unaware of the principles of effective interaction , and a misunderstanding of reality in deep fundamental ways that are impossible without addressing thought largely as a construct. Thought is a construct of our minds but because we are so caught in this construction so deeply we forget that it is a construct. More than just words, the mental maps, models, levels and capacity for deep abstraction on multiple levels are your thoughts in part. I digress, We want to eat well, exercise well, sleep well, have good sex, enjoy exercise, love myself , live in divine balance, etc, This is the essence of life. Live healthily. I am not trying to be perfect I am trying to be well.

Wondering if anyone has any knowledge or opinion on Damien Echols and his Royal Science of Angels. Things like 'Magick' Talismans, etc are outside of my paradigm.... I will have to do more research but just curious of what people think. There are so many spiritual schools. I want to explore even the ones I think are BS (like this). Is tarot just wishful thinking/ guided contemplation? https://product.soundstrue.com/royal-science-of-angels/sign-up/#a_aid=jhnkrn&a_bid=51a6e8b6

I wouldn’t do any drugs at all
