Chat away. I was saying that this is nonsense but not as an insult. And I don't exclude myself from that assessment at this point in the conversation. How about starting with: what is a belief actually about? Or why we tend to like hearing certain things and not others? But otherwise, speculation is not something I'm interested in, nor in retroactively confirming a view I already hold.

I appreciate that you don't tend to indulge in these kinds of social niceties, from what I can tell, at least. Sorry, it's mostly hoopla. Not that it isn't entertaining. Why did you take it personally and as an insult? It's an impersonal, collective fart. Just pointing this out so people don't take it very seriously. I'm afraid they will just go with a simplistic mental caricature-belief of either "yes" or "no" as a philosophical stance in response to the topic, and think this amounts to anything significant for the purpose of becoming conscious. Or worse yet, they might assume they already understand the communication. I don't do the "spiritual" world. It's not something I perform.

Every group thinks, whether implicitly or explicitly, that they are after the truth. Ask any religion.

Contemplation and thinking are not the same thing. The former could be thought of as a silent or still "waiting," or opening, aimed at uncovering the truth of something. It's not so much about trying to solve an equation as it is about facing a blank canvas - or some such metaphor.

You need to pay closer attention, then. Silly joke. For many, the fact that it was artificially generated gives it a hollow ring from the get-go. It's clear the author just wants to make a quick buck by selling overly simplistic (albeit reasonable on paper) narratives that make people feel validated. It is working, and most people in the comments don't seem to realize it is entirely AI. Would such a person care about being factual and accurate in the first place? I doubt they even care about the content per se. You saw the Himalayan AI BS stories. Getting eyeballs the easy easy way - by having AI create the content - seems to be their main concern, maybe the only one.

@Eskilon Not sure how you read it, but the conversation is nonsense. It's essentially speculation and an exchange of opinion.

@Leo Gura Did you even say 'thank you' once? I mean, did you know it was AI prior to posting it?

Virtually all of this conversation is a good, lengthy, smelly fart, except the original Q&A.

I see. I'm not familiar with OneDrive and its integration with Windows, the File Explorer, and the user's Microsoft account, but I'm sure there are a few tutorials on YouTube dealing with that problem. Appreciate the info. Shame on them! (the universities)

"When was the last time the recommendations were changed? Has it always been like this? Is it the same in other countries? Why (or why not)?" Just spitballing here.

Duplicate post - again. Avoid doing this in the future.

Insert "that's the joke" meme.

Validate my views and biases in subtle ways, make no mistakes.

Do you really need to use Onedrive? I'd just ask Claude about this.

The thinking behind the use of the phrase "my truth," "their truth," "your truth." I understand it is a way to validate one's experience, so just call it that.

@Thought Art Fair point. Content is content — if it holds up, it holds up. The obsession with source over substance is just credentialism in disguise. People dismiss good information because of where it came from while uncritically swallowing garbage from "approved" sources. That's not discernment, that's tribalism. Judge the argument, not the jersey. And honestly? That's rare. Are you sure about that? The Vernon Howard quote.

I understand the frustration. What's the technical problem? Have you tried sharing it with Claude and walking it through the steps to reproduce the issue? This might help. Could using a different suite, like LibreOffice, help with your problem here?

With a strong will and extreme levels of discipline.

I don't think people really know what belief is, including Leo.

As they say, always trust your intuition.

Ease up on the AI slop video recommendations. Also, you must have felt called out by the 'charlatans' remarks.

Be a man - put your cock on the table and show them who the real boss is.

New series, by the way:
