Do we expect poo?

I'll give these a go - cheers!! Appreciate the thought that went into this reply

Is Bryan actually vegan with all the loaded ideology behind it? I got the impression his choice to be vegan wasn't based on loving animals or not harming other beings. I could be wrong, though. I tune out of his rants sometimes. I just go for the psychoanalysis 😃 It would probably be too expensive to transport and sell baby fluid, I would assume it would be dried out and reduced to a powdered form so it can be reused in shakes, ice-cream, baked goods, souffle etc

I'll be more invested once I see it able to estimate and bid on construction plansets. Huge test of methodology, intuition, cross reference and unique ideas needed to bid an accurate price within timeframe limits. I know I keep crapping on about it. I tried bluebeamMAX which is estimating software + Claude bolted on. It was worse than anything I could have expected. So unless they are hiding the top AI, I find it all fantastical fantasy thinking. I feel the whole gig is just scooping up investors money while they can prior to the truth coming out - that it's just not where they report it is yet. I just want to see something used in application that really makes a difference - not just act to make us spectators. Enhance engagement, not reduce. I don't see any point in technology that replaces humans instead of suppliment.

It's plain hubris to think you can understand precesely what another is communicating or meaning with certain terms. We have discussed at length, over multiple threads, that words do not have inherent meaning without context. Words are symbols and not containers. The tension is that words have enough shared meaning to create some overlap between minds.... We essentially communicate in our own language, transmitting the weight of our context and feeling out, and try to be understood. It's why we engage in good faith discussion. But more often than not, nothing is discussed in good faith. The discussion ends as it does because we stop treating language as an attempt to communicate. We start treating it like some kind of evidence for prosecution. Again it's "Not knowing" that has power.

@Mellowmarsh sure, bub. I'll damn up the flow if nothing but shit is coming out.

Stop derailing the thread with pettiness.

@Rishabh R it's very true in my experience. I had to learn that failure, on my part, was more a reflection of my own current state of ignorance - and not a reflection of my capacity or potential. Each new challenge prepares us for the next, bigger challenge.

Same. The fear doesn't really leave. It just doesn't feel as intense - but you gain courage to face it Each time I fail and recover, I am training my brain that failure isn't so bad. So the next time, it is easier to take action in the face of charged up energy.

Do you feel like seeking has slowed down, or stopped?

I'm not afraid to fail. It is not that I do not have fear - but I can face it. I always look at how something went wrong - and what I can learn to prevent that occurring again in the future. Coupled with the above, I am very deterministic. So I do not view myself as the agent causing change. I just try to have the wisdom / knowledge to take action when the probability is highest to achieve a certain outcome. This way I do not have a lot of egoic attachment, so my stress is very low. I am not attached to outcome because, ultimately, I have no control. Lowering the stress of fixating on an outcome means I do not waste energy needlessly - meaning huge levels of endurance and resilience under pressure. Focus, drive and motivation aren't an issue when the stress of attachment to an outcome is dissolved.

Choo choo cu*** lets keep this shit rollin'

Yeah he said similar whack shit on the DemystifySci podcast too

Just imagine the YouTube reaction videos THEN

He ain't eating babies - he's busy eating his woman's vaginal microbiome, testing it, and reporting it's in the 'Top 1% of vagina's' Just to add that PR spin - it's all about the narrative, as he and Kate profess.

It is usually easier to distract with such a thought, rather than take control of what is within control. And focus on that. A way to avoid responsibility. Things you can influence directly > Things you can influence indirectly > Things you cannot meaningfully influence The above is the ideal distinction for me when allocating focus. I just think, like your question steers toward, people would rather distract themselves with endless stimulation that demands little responsibility.

Do you consider a mothers love for her children to be conditional?

Nah I'm a chick - profile pick is me I wouldn't troll that hard

Mod forum is where I swing my troll dick

@Magnanimous I work in construction - I am a project manager and estimator for a specialised commercial builder. We only work with state and federal governments for work - science, medical & education construction. I've done some crazy work on experimental facilities (ANSTO Synchrotron) and some medical fitouts that require all sorts of work there is no training for - just problem solving and a good head. I have no qualifications in the field, I just have a knack for picking things up quickly, creative problem solving and fast thinking. I never knew I was good at planning and working with tough constraints until I landed this role. I was very, very lucky to be trained up by a construction manager with 40 years of commercial experience - which I consider to be priceless and worth much more than a degree. I meditate every day for 30 minutes in the morning, and 30 minutes prior to bed. Yoga I am on and off with - I am addicted to resistance training & interval cardio so I tend to stick with that No processed food, water and coffee only (some tea). 8hrs sleep a night non-negotiable. Magnesium, fish oil, vitamin d + k2 and 10g creatine a day. I basically stick to that (and walk my dog). Never crash. No brain fog. Never get tired really - not even after 10hr workday and a workout. 40 this year - so must be doing something right. I used to be nihilistic and suicidal. My while life turned around at 33 - it's never too late

The best part of the forum MUAHAHAHAH!

For sure, my statement was about how perception influences how we view the reality of the situation. I didn't state men cannot feel weak or just as unsafe. Merely that it is more commonly a preoccupation women have (and are especially vocal about, becuase it is acceptable. Less acceptable for men to express) 💪

It's definitely about the perception of safety and fear for women. Being inherently weaker (despite the insistence of some). Men face more violence.
