If you think you already understand what Ramana was conscious of and trying to convey, you're most likely not paying close attention.

It's even more prevalent considering that any action taken is a form of manipulation, though your examples provide food for thought too.

Why? Where has he talked about those topics?

Baron Harkonnen.

We live as if the social domain were true. We think it exists. We take it very seriously. And we are so steeped in this assumed reality to see through it.

Brave has some AI bloat and whatnot and isn't much different from Chrome, given its base. The main options seem to be Firefox or Chromium-based browsers. Waterfox and LibreWolf look like solid Firefox-based alternatives, with the latter offering stricter privacy defaults.

Curious about what browser you use and why. There have been talks about some browsers adopting AI features, which might not go too well with a preference for privacy. I use Brave, by the way. It automatically blocks advertisements and strips out some trackers and whatnot.

When cooking rice, a few garlic cloves and one or two spices usually go in, plus salt. A simple sauce can be made with garlic, red bell pepper, salt, coriander, and olive oil - or tomato sauce works just as well. I don't take a fundamentalist approach to diet. Don't be afraid of spices.

Manipulation. Oh, we may also think that culture exists out there. So perhaps a better question is: What do humans do in this context? What kinds of thinking and behavior do we, as a collective, reliably engage in?

@Yimpa

How is that an absolute? The question, then, may be: Does it exist by itself, or is it the product of an activity? Regarding logic, I'm not sure. Here, I'm talking about language. The issue is that language may not be a reflection of reality; it may well help create it. If so, the question may be ill-formed. What's language, really?

It's interesting that you would put it like that.

A joke, insinuating that you were @mmKay's nazi friend and are now apologizing to him.

Jerry?

*Personal reminder to watch.

I'm a puzzle

Yeah, seems like matching their energy (for lack of a better term) through words didn't help much.

Oh, I was just randomly coming up with ingredients. Good to know.

Mmm hmm.

No cinnamon, lemon, or mint. What were they thinking?
