@Charlotte He seems to be where he wants to be. Or does he want to be somewhere else?

Ok. I would recommend you to start by changing your diet. This is a marathon, not a sprint contest. Stick with a healthy diet for at least one year. While you do that, build a strong foundation of self-knowledge. Read several books. Nietzsche, Kant, Socrates. Change drastically and consistently. This is the key.

@bejapuskas Sounds familiar?

@herghly What is the level of "experience" that you're talking about?

@Elshaddai Are you willing to change?

@Elshaddai Why are you uncomfortable?

At least 1 hour per session. During Sesshins (Zen retreats), each session lasts 1 hours and 30 minutes: two Zazen sessions of 40 minutes each with a Kinhin session of 10 minutes in the middle. There are about 6 complete sessions per day.

@sure Hardcore Zazen practices. Everyday. It won't be easy, specially when you start to notice all sorts of backlashes.

@IJB063 I used to think that way and I actually put those hypotheses to test. By disrespecting women I only attracted weak and emotionally damaged ones. It was a very dark period and it felt horrible everyday. Whilst behaving as a dickhead to attract women may seem like an advantage, it's not. It feeds a bad circle of unsatisfactory. When I decided to change and respect women, while still maintaining the sense of high self value, I didn't attract less women. I started to attract more healthy women, which felt like I was attracting more women. I am now a very happy man, married with an amazing woman. Time will tell you.

It has absolutely nothing to do with being "better" or "worse", whatever that means. The effect that you're talking about happens to men and women. It's about feeling attraction to hard targets, not necessarily assholes. You can be incredibly respectful and still cause a sense of immense value to women just by portraying yourself as a hard target. So yes, it is about having options and being confident. But being confident and arrogant are two very different things.

Nope. The feeling of Love, alone, can only help you. The journey of inner healing is each one's responsibility.

AI alone is not very powerful. Keep in mind that the abstraction for the basic unit of neural networks (the perceptron) was invented in 1957. Only recently, with the advance in hardware, we became able to use powerful graphical cards as the core of tool to train large neural networks. I would say that engineering is the actual bottleneck. AI is just the abstraction.

This question is too broad. There are several cutting edge technologies that can contribute to the advance of mankind.

Drawing Writing poetry Practicing Yoga Practicing Zazen Reading tons of books Writing a book Gardening Learning to play a new (or first) instrument Cooking and eating healthy meals Exercising Just a few examples.

@Huz Hi. AI specialist here. AI is an incredibly huge field. What you should study depends on the application that you have in mind and specially on the type of data that you will feed your system with. Audio? Images? Tabular data? If you don't have an application in mind yet, just study generalist AI algorithms, Python and AI philosophy for now. Also, master auxiliary programming tools such as Git, documentation libraries (like Sphinx) and automated tests platforms like TravisCI.

You are them. There is not much to say.

@Clarky000 It's just experience. You can try any other posture to see what works best for you. If your body is all loose, you might become sleepy. If you're standing, you will probably feel too stiff.

@Jacobsrw This is absolutely amazing! Keep it up!

@JessiChell I'd recommend looking for someone who's hungry for consciousness work and inner transformation. This is a life-time work so consistency across time is one good indicator. When I met my wife, she was already doing inner work for 4 years and that's why we matched. Make good use of your initial stages and try lots of different things before you have to fight against the crystallization of your "spiritual concepts". For instance, check this out:

Read A LOT. Bad books and good books. Take notes and persevere to put everything you find valuable in practice. And most importantly: embrace failure.

@IAmTheHolySpirit People see things when they are ready for it. The worst way to talk about Truth is by saying things such as "you are delusional", "you are a lost case", "shut up", "get out of here" etc. This will only hurt feelings. You may be harsh on those who are harsh so they can feel their own poison. But you're not allowed to be harsh on the vulnerable ones. That's just being a coward. Been there, done that. It's ugly.

@IAmTheHolySpirit I can't sense a single drop of kindness and compassion on your words and your attitude.

@IAmTheHolySpirit Stop the hypocrisy now. This is a public warning due to the huge mess that you've already made in such a short period of time. No more telling people to shut up or get out of here.

The short answer is no. We're still struggling with pretty rudimentary technology. Keep in mind that any learning curve grows very quickly in the beginning... that's why our technology is changing so fast. We're just learning how to crawl.
