Ohhhh wow - total facepalm! My bad, I got interrupted twice at work while replying you 🤣 scrambled my eggs. Sorry about that You add sucralose - is that a sweetener? I tend to avoid artificial sweeteners, but that is because unique to my physiology, I tend to get hungrier and get the urge to eat after meals. Only artificial sweetener does this to me. I eat very minimal dairy, some yoghurt, cottage cheese and ricotta. A small portion a dairy in the afternoons. Some lactose free milk (a dash) in my coffee in the morning as well.

Yep, this is what the techno-transhumanist silicon valley types are striving for. Literally the movie 'Gattaca' manifest. The ethics around this discussion are wild - and people don't even want to discuss it. It is just... drive to improve/expand at all costs. Dreamland future and fantastical thinking with zero foresight. The road to hell is paved with the best intentions.

I strongly dislike low fat variants of dairy. I avoid low fat varieties as they usually add a lot of sugar or emulsifiers to add back flavour and texture. In addition, I am lactose intolerant. Although I can tolerate small amounts. Low fat varieties of fairy typically have greater lactose sugars, so they make my digestion much worse. As a result of the nicer texture and mouth-feel of higher fat dairy, I tend to naturally eat less and feel satisfied quicker. Your milage may vary, as some people do not have a good ability to connect with their bodies and intuitively eat. For some, if they followed their intuitive cravings, that would be donuts and ice-cream all day Overall I find higher added fats in my diet = better hormones = better mood = more even energy = movement / joints feel better. I don't care about the added calories as they are so miniscule.

So is this just a 'increase chances to accidently get enlightened?' step guide? Enlightenment is not guaranteed by any method.

After correction, marriage was 6% more likely to end if the wife had the illness, no change for the husband.

!!! PUMPED

@Jehovah increases You're the BEST Cheers for the share. Best topic on the forum IMO - good vibes

@Toranvor I do not endorse MDMA - but I have had 2 good mates who benefited from ketamine / MDMA therapy. Both through doctors. I would caution with MDMA - it can be neurotoxic, especially in larger doses. So if you go down that path, some sort of professional oversight would be required. As I understand it, these therapies (ket/molly) are very new. I second this - addressing feelings/emotions head on goes a long way diffusing fears / body tension that results. Good luck and best healing @Toranvor - my sister has a panic disorder. I know how real it is to experience

@Thought Art Consume as in, media wise? I do consume a range of content, I really try to give a lot of stuff a crack. Even if it is turds. Usually I can find something I enjoy or takeaway from it. I have a pretty specific aesthetic I enjoy, but I don't require it as a standard. I won't pass on an opportunity to extract useful information just because someone looks a bit unkempt. The only requirement I have, typically, is decent audio. I think being trained in fine arts then transitioning into construction meant I had to abandon many of my previous high aesthetic standards. Construction really emphasised 'sometimes done is good enough'. It also forced me to be much more pragmatic. I had perfectionistic standards that sometimes immobilised me from creating or beginning/finishing projects. That all went when engaging in building commercial centres; time, cost, deadline pressures all reshaped how I approach problem solving and art. And what I consume media wise. Heh! Having said all of the above, I don't really watch much content. I am a bit busy, so I tend to listen. I don't place a lot of limits on what I consume. I like to keep challenging myself with novelty of all kinds - especially musically. Not sure if I answered you correctly there!

@Thought Art S'all good just prompted some self reflection for me

@Thought Art Thanks for sharing. I don't personally find judgements in domain conscientiousness translate across all areas of people's lives. That sort of rigidity never served me, and I never consider conscientiousness to be a global ranking of morals/character/intellect/whathaveyou. I dislike charm, charisma and artifice. Authenticity and earnestness is my jam I am strongly turned off by performative behaviour and overly crafted narratives (which Bryan and Kate have admitted is core to their marketing).

So you judge the content on how it is presented and who it is from, as well as the content itself? What carries more weight for you? Does the truth stand alone in your worldview?

N=1 isn't science. What Brian is doing is not science.

More slop won't dissuade from the realism that most human created AI output is, indeed, predominantly slop. It's just proving the slop oroborus.
