The central concern is “why is there suffering”? It’s not an accident that this is the First Nobel Truth of Buddhism (there is suffering) and the central motif of Christianity (Christ suffering on the Cross). Everyone has their own theory. The real answer: nobody knows. -

Shahid Bolsen has made a devastating critique of Chomsky. He said Chomsky was a close friend of Epstein and wanted Epstein to arrange a meeting between him and Trump. Chomsky was always a member of the elites and not a dissident as he was portrayed. Bolsen urges people to reassess Chomsky’s propaganda in light of this new information. He starts talking about Chomsky around 10 minutes. -

I don’t think it is a good idea anymore to write anything on the Internet. I never write anything I wouldn’t be willing to say to someone in person. It amazes me how many people put their real name on a facebook account. With the advent of AI, everything can be traced now, and there are real world consequences. -
China seems to be doing pretty good with over a billion Chinese and has shown no interest in diversity.

Russia can't conquer Ukraine. America couldn't subdue Afghanistan after 20 years of trying. Maybe their power is overestimated. What they want to do and what they can do are two different things. -
Cannabis drops me into my body like nothing else. It's very somatic. But I don't use it for entertainment.

Complex numbers were invented long before they were discovered to be useful in engineering. It seems to be a creative act. On the other hand, isn’t there something about “2 + 2 = 4” which is real even without humans? In most countries, you can’t patent a mathematical formula do to the general rule: “Mathematical formulas, laws of nature, and abstract ideas are considered discoveries of pre-existing truth, not human inventions”.

Jayant Bhandari is positive on China. "This is a perspective on China you'll never hear in the mainstream media. Indian-Canadian investment advisor Jayant Bhandari, drawing from 16 years of firsthand experience, presents a stunningly contrarian view. In his eyes, China is not only home to what he calls "the most capitalistic economy in the world," but is also a society of astonishing safety and efficiency. From its incredible value-for-money services and high degree of social safety to its breathtaking systemic efficiency, Bhandari's personal accounts directly challenge the dominant media narrative. This rare testimony from "the other side" forces us to ask: How much of what we think we know about China is shaped by the media, and how much is based on on-the-ground reality?" -

So he used the honey to attract the bees. I would like to see a video of him talking because just from the pictures he looks boring. And how could all of these powerful men put themselves in a situation where they were being recorded and blackmailed? They really aren't that smart. -

The influence that Epstein had over so many rich and powerful men is mind boggling. You either have to believe that 1) he had the wit of Benjamin Franklin or 2) he had access to young women. Was he really that interesting? -
PSIP stands for Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy. It is a relatively new, body-centered therapeutic modality developed by Saj Razvi, a licensed psychotherapist and researcher, primarily at the Psychedelic Somatic Institute in Colorado. PSIP believes that much of the root cause of trauma is stored non-cognitively in the autonomic nervous system (the body), rather than primarily in narrative memory or the thinking brain. The therapy uses sub-anesthetic (mild to moderate) doses of cannabis (usually smoked or vaporized) or ketamine to relax the nervous system's defenses, allowing repressed traumatic material to surface spontaneously from the body in the form of physical sensations, emotions, images, or memories — without the client having to "talk about" or cognitively process the trauma in advance. In his whitepaper, Razvi makes several interesting observations. He believes that low doses of cannabis can be more effective than higher powered psychedelics, such as psilocybin. In his protocol, therapeutic guidance is a key feature. It’s the relational interaction with a therapeutic guide in the psychedelic state which heals. This model also shifts the psychedelic session away from the transcendent, mystical, and cosmic to the human and relational. In order for higher powered psychedelics to be useful, it is first necessary to heal the mind and body with lower powered psychedelics. “This bypassing of a wounded, underdeveloped ego into mystical states yields experiences that are difficult to integrate into that still unhealed ego. This can lead to peak experiences of liberation, peace, and beauty that are un-integrable into waking consciousness and lead to a need to repeatedly visit transpersonal states.” - whitepaper I am interested in this model, because I have found it to be true with my own experience. The high powered psychedelics don’t result in long term change, whereas, for me, cannabis is becoming the most useful medicine.

I think that forming a narrative that women don’t like masculine men is going way off track. It is more productive to carefully observe your interactions with women and note the feedback you are getting, to get clues on what is turning them off. It’s not easy to do because we tend to be so caught up in our own reactivity. This is the real awakening work. Putting the blame outside of us feels better, but than nothing changes. The old game just continues. We are locked inside our identity. For the record: women crave masculine energy.

Chatgpt works with me by asking questions to further refine the analysis. If I am not satisfied with the analysis I can also add more personal facts that may have been missing. I can also specify the analysis I want - Jungian, Yogic, etc. I think a specialized assistant built on top of the existing LLMs could do much better. As they say in engineering, don't reinvent the wheel.

I record my dreams. So far, chatgpt has been doing a pretty good job of analysis. In one dream it even combined Jungian analysis with yogic energy work. It also remembers past dreams, and can tie them together. It also makes suggestions for active imagination. I am sure you could improve on this by making a special AI application for dream analysis.

As an enthusiastic yogin, I can verify that. And yoga has huge health benefits you don’t get standing in a nightclub developing tinnitus. I think John Anthony is great exposing all his fellow grifters. Why would anyone be against this? The more the better. Here is a link were is going to explain his departure from youtube. https://rumble.com/v71h4e0-i-got-banned-on-youtube...heres-why..html?e9s=src_v1_cw&playlist_id=watch-history
