Yes, just like The Simpsons. I wonder if Actualized.org will still be around in 33 years ?

I thought I had this giant wasp nest on our lawn. Got a professional to check it out and said there was nothing. Boy, am I stupid!

If it triggers you and makes you rethink your life openly, it means you’re half-awake.

Do you think you have ADHD? I have that.

GPT-4: Bard:

What do you mean?

The trick is that many habits we consider good may actually be bad for us. And vice versa.

Honestly, ever since this whole “fiasco” started, I’ve been standing up for myself more and being a leader in my own life. You can literally take any situation and turn it into gold if you really want to.

@Kuba Powiertowski How should GOD act?

@NoSelfSelf It took me over a decade to realize that my identity was built on a house of cards.

For example, I was born Catholic. But I left it at age 14. I don’t have any trouble not attending church every Sunday because it has no meaning to me whatsoever. My family would have a panic attack if they missed mass for a month.

Sending lots of love. I understand what you’re going through, as I’m going through something similar as well at this time.

Let’s ask him…

Relatable for sure. Going back to old friends will feel very awkward at first, but it’s totally worth it. Like jumping into a cold swimming pool fully.

Not me. It pisses me off.

Does AI have mental illness? It’s pretty damn creative. GPT-4 “Write me a 3 paragraph story about the beauty of mental illness”:

If you don’t stand up for your own truth, others are guaranteed to define it for you.

cult confirmed! /s

Big deal for me, if I may be honest. What’s been happening on this forum, especially the past week, has been reflecting in my own personal life. Shit I didn’t think was even possible, new insights that seem almost alien or impossible. It’s honestly shocking, but makes all the sense in the world at the same time.

Lately I’ve been saying things to myself and others that I would have never said before. I thought this was bad and that I was going to hell or something, but I’m starting to realize that I’m imagining even the idea of that happening.

Start by connecting with yourself, first and foremost. Instead of running away from fears, you make it your life mission to understand the mechanisms for how your mind works. Do this for years and decades through difficult, laborious work, trial and error, but with passion. It’s gonna hurt like hell, but your other option is to live in fantasies and delusions for another 30 years. Which, of course, I highly advise against. The 30 year route is what most will do blindly. The consequence is missing out on an entire landscape of yourself and reality.

You don’t have to get rid of something that has no meaning for you.

On point. It took a good 15 years from my own personal experience.
