  1. I have found chatgpt useful for learning Spanish. I can ask it questions about word usage that would take a lengthy search of reference material and get an instant answer. It is useless though for any controversial subject because it is heavily censored.
  2. I have taken a few science classes with Coursera. The teachers were excellent and made things clear. This is a solution for teaching basic and even advanced subjects. Have the best teachers in the world record their lectures and make them available on the Internet.
  3. Richard Feynman loved to teach. I had the pleasure of attending one of his lectures.
  4. This ice bath is for 2-3 minutes. I was instructed to just breath deeply.
  5. The SpO2 goes down during the breath hold - where you fully expel all air and then hold. You can verify this by putting a pulse oxymeter on your finger
  6. But is the intense concentration needed to see the self possible in an intoxicated state?
  7. Most psychedelics just stimulate your imagination and may activate past trauma. They still keep you in your mind. In Latin America, the plant medicines are used for both physical and mental healing. Martin Ball claims he experienced non duality with 5-meo and has written books on it.
  8. If you are concerned, you can buy a fingertip pulse oximeter blood oxygen sensor SpO2, and monitor yourself during the breath holds.
  9. The article says that. "The political leanings of young men have changed little over the past two decades, according to an analysis by the Survey Center on American Life. Last year, 43 percent of young men identified as moderate, 31 percent as conservative and 24 percent as liberal. Twenty years earlier, the numbers were more or less the same."
  10. High School boys are trending conservative https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/4125661-high-school-boys-are-trending-conservative/
  11. Robert Kennedy, Jr. chats on Zoom with regular folks.
  12. Before the 1960s, the traditional formula for centuries of a man working and the woman staying at home raising the children worked pretty well. Maybe this is a case of if it already works don't fix it.
  13. There are plenty of countries where women like nice guys. Google "passport bros". Grow a pair and be who you are. Don't let a harpy sow the seeds of self doubt.
  14. The bad motives that you are ascribing to him is not objective evidence unless you can read his mind. How do you know this? My proposition is to have freely available information and freedom of debate. If you are correct, you will win out.
  15. Your sources deserve to be listened too. And so does the other side. But if you say something is misinformation, someone is making that determination and if they have power they can censor the other side. The idea of "freedom of speech" is that there is no qualified "censor" but ideas have to be debated in the public square.
  16. RFK always sites to the scientific literature and with his excellent memory actually gives you the source and author. Also, other published scientists and doctors have been censored, not just RFK. Who decides which side evaluating the scientific literature is misinformation?
  17. I would never openly admit at a Star Trek convention that I believe there are no aliens. That would be dangerous.
  18. I think a lot of people want there to be aliens. It's an emotional thing. Facts aren't going to make a difference.
  19. RFK Jr exposes democrats and big tech censorship of him.
  20. Your desire to see the violence can create bad karma. There is a dark and unhealthy part of us that craves to see this. The movie makers are immoral and in a competitive business and will use any technique that attracts attention. They use violence because it increases cash flow. If you do watch the movie, perhaps the most productive thing to do for spiritual development is to observe the part of you that craves to see violence. Bring it into conscious awareness.
  21. NASA was involved in the SETI project (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) mostly in the 1980s. An analysis of the probability of alien life was led by the astronomer Carl Sagan. The conclusion of his report was that alien life was probable and the report outlined areas of the sky to look for signals of life with radio telescopes. But contact with aliens is improbable because of the vast distance of the universe. Once we find an alien civilization, it could take a million years to send them a message and a million years for them to send a reply. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_for_extraterrestrial_intelligence
  22. You need a basic education in science.
