  1. Nothing to do with what I said.
  2. Tampering with billions of years of evolution is not a healthy idea.
  3. Trump finally succeeded in doing something real. He made Iran great again.
  4. Psychedelics are overrated and the new shinny toy. He was right about the ego hijack (2) and the creation of more confusion than clarity (1). He also challenges the underlying assumption of American capitalism – “everyone has the right to their McDonald’s hamburger within 5 minutes” (4).
  5. The same minds that believed decapitation would work, believe there is a nuclear option. The result: Failure.
  6. No they didn't have that option. Russia and China have nuclear bombs too. The arrogant are being brought low.
  7. They already tried annihilation and failed. They murdered all of Iran’s top leaders, betting on an instant collapse. Trump was the only president dumb enough to buy Netanyahu’s bullshit. The United States doesn’t have the power to defeat Iran. Professor Mearsheimer and many other former high ranking officials of the government were predicting this disaster from day one and say America has lost the war. The USA just needs to sign the MOU and get out. The USA lost to Vietnam and still managed to survive.
  8. Alternative health is full of nonsense and unsupported claims.
  9. Just search on the Internet. There is thriving enlightenment industry that will accept your dollars. Capitalism has heard your need and is willing to fill it.
  10. Psychedelics violate the Fifth Buddhist Precept. They distort clarity and cause heedlessness. When the drug wears off, the state vanishes, leaving the user with an addiction to the experience, severe spiritual pride, or deep existential depression.
  11. So it looks like these are basically 50 traps that happen to an advanced meditator that his ego uses to keep him from reaching enlightenment by tricking him into believing that he has already obtained it. The ego hijak (the trap) of a real accomplishment (the bait).
  12. Marco Rubio would have to block the extradition and he wants to run for president. He would have to explain why he blocked an extraditon request of a respected legal system leveling multiple serious criminal charges. There is no upside for him to get involved in this. As for Trump, he will do whatever he thinks is in his best interest and the Tates are losing their influence and popularity.
  13. Getting medical advice from wellness hype YouTube influencers could be dangerous. It’s like selecting Connor Murphy to be your heart surgeon.
  14. LLMs are being extended to work with images. They appear to do visual processing quite well. https://sathishsaravanan.com/blog/how-llms-understand-images/ https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.11929
