Osaid

I used to get salty when I cared about following the rules as a kid. Everyone was around me was cheating one way or another, and it irked me because it basically invalidates all your efforts. I was pretty naïve for that. I saw rules as something absolute and unbreakable. And so clinging to that mindset caused a lot of friction in me because it contradicted reality. 95% of those rules are built on fear. Fear is not a very sustainable form of motivation, so it will be broken. People in school are taught rules without them understanding why the rules are made, and in order to do that you use fear and punishment. Like how you prevent a toddler from jumping into a giant puddle because "I said so". The toddler's desire to jump isn't really invalidated, it's just that there is some external authority forcefully blocking the desire now for some unknown reason.

Yes, but the problem isn't AI. It's a flaw in the system itself that is motivating such behavior. The system was always being undermined, it's just being done more efficiently with AI now, to such a large degree that people are actually forced to seriously consider the issue, whereas before they weren't really talking about it. It's a reality check. If someone is genuinely interested and wants to learn something, they won't cheat. No one who cheats expects to actually learn what they are cheating on. It's fundamentally still about the asymmetry in values I mentioned before. On the other hand, AI also makes learning easier.

It put a mirror up to my face and of course it pushes you into action when you realize all of a sudden that you have horns and a forked tongue.

I don't know, probably less sweet and less sour, more mellow and watery. Just imagine you're biting into an orange but subtract the solid part.

That's from concentrate, normal orange juice doesn't taste like that

I don't think I've ever actually had orange juice in my life. Just the concentrated stuff from the grocery stores. You never see non-concentrate orange juice anywhere.

The goal and priority of school is ultimately not learning, but getting a high grade. It's up to the student which one to prioritize. Grades are just a very cheap and lazy way of measuring "learning". The job of learning has been delegated to the grade system. This motivates an asymmetry between two values: "grades" and "learning". Cheating is something that happens when the value tips towards grades. You can get high grades without learning. It's a bureaucratic game, and you may or may not learn something along the way of playing this game. Some people cheat. Some people decide to follow all the rules perfectly. Some people decide to do more than the rules ask for since they might feel the rules are limited. It's up to you how you wanna play it, but ultimately it is a very bureaucratic system.

Well, if you're beyond sex you're probably not human anymore. Just like the butterfly isn't a caterpillar anymore.

To change yourself. To change other people. Resisting what you are. It creates motivation to change how reality is. It indicates a discord in how your psychology is interfacing with reality. A contradiction somewhere that can be inspected if you're introspective enough. And then from there you can learn a lot about yourself. It's not necessary. It can be transcended and the same results can be achieved without it. But some people need it for where they are at. Relatively speaking, no. I've rarely felt it because I always intuitively understood that I was just trying to do the best I could from my current state of consciousness, and that any shame would only be created through a myopic perspective of myself.

I saw them in a mirror once. Pretty good-looking, if I do say so myself.

This doesn't seem like a good distinction. In a state of nothingness/cessation/turiya/pure consciousness, you are infinite and whole simultaneously. Infinity can maintain the exact same qualia and not change at all, yet still be infinite. Infinity is total, until an ego comes along and tries to separate it, as you are doing.

I was thinking the same thing lol

Well, I was open-minded enough to sit down and stare at this, and I actually wasn't disappointed. My brain was constantly recontextualizing things and noticing patterns. Sometimes I would see circles. Sometimes it would look fluid like water. Sometimes the screen would start moving or shaking towards a certain direction. The coolest one was when I saw everything as 3D all of a sudden, like a bunch of white objects floating around in some 3d space. Weird. I will never judge people who watch TV static again, I get it now.

And then on the very back of the page, the boss battle of spiritual questions: Is solipsism true? (worth 50% of the test score) (1000 words minimum) (show your work)

Awesome

A fraud? lol, what do they mean? it's so odd how banks can just gatekeep your money cause of random shit

You're being a bastard to yourself. You're just assuming things about God that you don't know. And those assumptions cause you pain. God gives you imagination, and quite generously, as anything you imagine reality will recontextualize itself to fit that imagination. I know you'll probably create another similar thread soon after this one and my response here will be disregarded. But maybe someone in a similar position who is slightly more openminded than you can learn something from this thread and actually change their direction.

You can try eating multiple meals, but I doubt it will fix your issue. I don't see why it would. I eat 1-2 meals and I don't feel tired. It's probably what you're eating, not the timing. Or maybe you're an anomaly. Experiment through trial and error and see what works.

Seems pretty accurate. Not sure what "transcend" exactly means here, but I don't think I want to transcend sex anyways. I find it very enjoyable. Having control over something isn't the same as disregarding it or transcending it, at least by my standards. I feel like your relationship to sex simply "matures" or changes over time. It doesn't completely vanish unless you're biologically incapable.
