Is cessation the same as turiya/pure consciousness?

I didn't say what you imagine is necessarily true, just that you can imagine it is true, and so it becomes true from your perspective. Whenever you believe in something, you recontextualize reality so that it becomes that belief.

There's a difference between science and materialism. You should scientifically prove that you are the body, first. Your initial assumption isn't even based in science, it's just materialism.

Because you can imagine anything to be true. Everyone is busy having fun in their cardboard box.

Wtf lol, what a synchronicity. We really do live in a simulation.

Could go either way. I find it odd the Romanian police were so determined in finding him. They used a video of him eating pizza to track his location.

Key word, investigation. No one really knows why yet.

Wait what, who added section titles in the video scroll bar? And why only this video?

Not good enough. We need to cancel ChatGPT. We have screenshots of its misogyny. Time to head to Twitter. Admittedly, it did improve itself since it answered both the male and female questions in my recent screenshot. But change doesn't matter when you have screenshots of someone's past behavior.

No way lmao I just went and tried this myself, and it keeps giving me random jokes that have nothing to do with men in response to "tell me a joke about men". But, when I ask about women, it says it's inappropriate as shown in your screenshot. I think we finally broke the bot. I just tried asking again but I worded the question a bit differently, and now it's giving me disclaimers telling me to not be offended at its joke. PC culture has traumatized this bot.

The app still works for me. Website doesn't allow me to log in, though.

Yeah, they said it's really uncommon for someone to rob a house that has people. The robber was really dumb and thought it was empty for some reason. Then they went on to break into other houses as well. It was probably a crackhead or something. I would guess because everyone is asleep and there's no activity. Plus, they were referring to crime in general, not just house break-ins. You also gotta remember people who commit crime are not the smartest.

Had my house broken into last October at like 3am. Police came by and said 3am is like the witching hour for crime. They also said it's very uncommon for a house to get robbed while people are inside it. It seems the thief didn't expect for anyone to be in the house, they were very surprised to see me there. Seemed under the influence or something, very confused and uncoordinated. They ran off when they saw me. They took some wallets and stuff. Apparently they broke into 12 other houses the same day. The windows had metal guard railings attached for this exact scenario, but apparently they were loose and it got kicked down pretty easily. The police only give back to you what they found, otherwise you're out of luck in retrieving anything else you lost.

I had a dream where I developed an entire crush on a dream character and then felt lovesick after waking up, and this happened a few times. I also had a dream where I was being tortured and I could feel the pain. The pain felt more "dull" than pain in real life. But I could still feel it, I was lucid too. But I couldn't control the dream despite being lucid. So that was odd in hindsight. So yeah, dreams are wild.

It's very easy to criticize survival from thousands of years in the future, when things are much more developed. Surviving in a beige - red society is an entirely different ball game than surviving in a red - green society. Even the most conscious people have a physical body maintain, and a physical body is a distinct form, and so that distinct form must take priority over other distinct forms in order to continue existing as a distinct form. Now, imagine if the society you live in and all of its people are stage beige - red, and you must figure out how to survive within that environment. The tactics you use today are not gonna work back then. This is the existential survival bind we are put in. Over the years, it's become easier to survive selflessly thanks to evolutionary advancements. But, of course, survival still happens to a certain degree. Our version of this today might be factory workers laboring away in order to make our phones. Or, the destructions of trees for our homes. Or, the slaughtering of animals for nutrients. These are the modern versions of "low development" survival activities which are hard to escape from. Of course these survival strategies will look much different in a thousand-year-old society where phones did not even exist. Anyways, this is all mostly a distraction anyways. Sort the wheat from the chaff.

I think snakes can be cute. But no, I wouldn't, since I'm a heterosexual male.

Well, the VR is a one time payment, and it can create infinite virtual escorts True, I'd rather ditch the doll for the VR though tbh. VR has more variety. Plus I'm suspicious as to how comfortable and enjoyable actually doing it with a doll really is.

Good idea, I'll ask Santa for one next Christmas

On second thought, I'm not sure if thrusting = more pleasure. It just equals more realism, cause ofc you thrust during actual sex. But I don't think that necessarily amps up the pleasure. In general, it seems like a dressed up fleshlight to me. I'd rather just have a fleshlight, and then use some other form of porn alongside it, like VR or whatever. If anything, it just seems like a unique way to masturbate. Not necessarily better or worse than others, just unique. Might be more appealing to some people than others, since people have different preferences. It just seems inefficient and clunky to me, though. I wouldn't wanna limit my sexual stimuli to a doll. But, I've never tried it.

Hmm, I guess. Sex doll + VR might be the move

There's something really funny about someone coming to the conclusion that they need a sex doll as a result of realizing they are God

what no fap does to a mf In all seriousness, is a sex doll really that much better than normal porn? I can't imagine myself finding much pleasure in doing it with a lifeless doll. Aside from that, it must get boring after a while? Then you gotta buy more dolls? Doesn't seem efficient to me. A VR headset or something seems way more appealing.

I could always intuitively sense as a child that the religious dogma being taught to me was BS. Probably because I was an introvert who was always contemplating philosophy. Religion just didn't make sense to me, and I could sense the fear and confusion from the religious people around me. I was always questioning their authority. You could say I was born with a very grounded epistemological framework, because I wasn't afraid to ask questions and contemplate things for myself. Making sure my ideas about the world were correct was a top priority for me. I think that the problem of being sucked into religious and conspiratorial dogma fundamentally comes to a lack of proper epistemology and a careless delegation of authority. The latter reason can probably be related to the former, but I think it's helpful to separate it in order to highlight it. Like for example, if you were to ask some hard-nosed conspiracy theorist "What is the difference between real and unreal?", they probably wouldn't even be able to give you a good answer. How are you going to believe some random ideology without first even knowing the answer to that? That's a very fundamental thing you've skipped over. If you don't know that, then of course your perception and ideologies are going to be corrupted and warped later down the line. Epistemology is analogous to a firewall on a computer, and the computer is analogous to your mind. If you don't have solid epistemology, all sorts of mind viruses are going to sneak in undetected. You're gonna have no standards for the ideas that go in your mind, and so all sorts of things will start to infest it. And then, what happens when you don't have good epistemology is that you start to rely on authority. More technically, you start delegating your own authority onto other people. Because ultimately, all authority is decided by you. Authority becomes your crutch without proper epistemology. If you can't think for yourself, let other people think for you. Your religious leader said it. Your teacher said it. Your parents said it. And so, it must be true. Who am I to question them? Well, you probably aren't even able to question them. Most people don't even contemplate questioning them, because their epistemological framework is so uncoordinated. In your instance, for example, the fear of this quote is an example of an appeal to authority. You are unable to discern whether the quote is true or false, so you are forced to give it authority and take what your mind perceives to be the safest route, which is avoiding anything beyond human knowledge. So, by default, the quote gains authority out of your fear, because you are unable to discern how truthful it is with your current epistemological framework.

Lol I suspected it might be The bot is too smart for RationalWiki
