@lmfao Yeah, that quote is on my mirror in the bathroom ?. I see programming as this currently.

@tsuki Perfect example lol. Did not see that.

I love Allan Watts, I listened to his audiobooks so many times. It adds up quite well with the history that shinzen talks about in Buddhism and all ordeals and lectures zen monks have to go through just leaves you with a smirk. I loved it since I was able to ask questions to people in China for instance in one lecture he talks about that a child in China will ask his father or mother, how will I grow? In the west in comparison, one will ask how was I made and he retraces it back to Jesus father being a carpenter and people in Asia being more attuned to nature. With Daoism etc. The way people care about food alone is way different than here in the west, it truly is a Get-to­ge­ther which helps to foster relationships, etc. This is one reason why I like "business" so much. Won't make sense but fine. For me, Allan watts is a timeless classic, who taught me the fallacies of green and chartered me into the lower left quadrant and lower right from Ken Wilbers model 4 quadrant model. https://ecovillage.org/solution/integral-theory-of-ken-wilber/ All of this meaninglessness and being tired and complacent was a big joke. I am the one who was and is responsible for creating meaning in the day and age of lack of meaning. I mean we don't crusade for the Christian church or proselytize about it to create some form of sacrificial concept of who our savior is anymore. With polyarchy and pluralism available there are many options to actively engage in meaning creation by choosing and voting for one's interest as an example. Or to follow one's dreams actively. What I did not understand 3 years ago is that it is so easy to create meaning, by taking action. Yet, at high to low green it might take a while to realize that. Even meaninglessness itself can create meaning in the sense that if nothing matters, you can do and create what you want. Many don't realize this and are complacent, as I am myself yet to a significantly lower degree now. Still, a 23h train ride from Beijing to Shanghai in a shitty cabin while listening to Alan Watts during chinese new year was one of the most fantastical experiences I had and I am so grateful for that. Every travel I made, I had synchronistic experience about my boss always having been listening to Allan Watts, so I always looked if they are a bit more yellow. Allan Watts for me is perfect for green, since it shows the arbitrariness and quirkiness and meaninglessness of things. Now that I feel more stable yellow and listen to it again, it is quite evident how my perception has changed through a couple of years of meditation now. It is like my senses are sharp. Currently, I like Mingur Rinpoche and Peter Ralston a lot. I love Peter Ralston's cup. A true mystery bottles and drinking.

@flowboy Keep up the work! I can recommend Alan Carrs Book about stopping to smoke if you want to end it forever!

I like it! especially the drawings about the cosmos. You could check out Alex Gray and Cao Yong for inspiration. I have no idea about art and certain styles, yet I appreciate and love all sorts of paintings or creative expressions. https://www.alexgrey.com/art https://www.caoyong.us/ArtPrintHtml/FreedomNewArtPrint.php

@How to be wise From what I currently perceive psychedelics are very powerful, ( I want to do more 4h meditation session on psychedelics) . Yet, for instance, the last retreat I got banned here for name calling and went crazy because I could not deal with this level of perception(?) I had everything moved in patterns. Looking back it felt so egoic but cathartic, not the banning part. It was insane. I cleared a lot of cultural baggage solely through meditation retreat and ONLY with a weekend meditation retreat. I saw my solar plexus pumping right in front of me like a metal ball, while I cried during this process. I felt I was transcending time. Yet, in retrospect, I still can't tell if I was stuck in la la land or my monkey mind just cleared itself. Everything moved in patterns, sitting still for 20h over a weekend at the same place you live, shows you how the place actually lives and it feels like a "holographic" pattern. It's quite surreal sometimes. On LSD nothing similar happened, yet I could feel this pressure inside my solar plexus, and my body feeling like a stinky motor. + crazy levels of consciousness during meditation. It's like I ventured into consciousness itself, not being able to open the gates. Still, the level of clear awareness or "consciousness" on LSD was very different and higher. At the same time after retreats I feel the same, but more in a streamlined worldly process, with similar "clear" awareness quality, but without the "trippiness" and drier. It actually feels normal... I hope this makes sense.

@d0ornokey I would not use 16personalities.com https://www.truity.com/personality-type/ISFP https://www.personalitypage.com/html/ISFP.html For new agey test taking you can check out this: https://lonerwolf.com/tests/ I found these to be the best free sources. 16 personalities.com when I started reading about it often received a bad rep. Also using Quora is good Yes, I found them to be extremely insightful. Reading about it for some time I learned to rather appreciate the functions of people then types. For instance, as an INFJ my worst matched type are extraverted sensors. Yet, for instance, I admire ESFP and ESTP people, yet it is so funny how they don't get their intuition, yet are using it at the same time. Estps are very practical people and I am often stuck in castle building, making notions and synthesizing them to one grand conclusion, while they are already doing it. Yet, I can often work very well with these people if they are emotionally mature and can handle a lot of questioning. I work the best for instance with ISTP people I plan they do. We synthesize. He can often explain to me why certain things work because of dominant TI and he is not confused by dominant IN , so he can deal with hunches. Yet, still, I often have to explain my insights and ideas a lot, before people understand, especially if they don't listen and I often end up without asking in a leadership position... Otherwise, the best type for me to get along with personally are INTJ's we can talk endlessly for 10h about concepts that feel like they have never been explored before and have been explored before. While loving IN to death, since most people just do not understand it. Then we are silent for 2 weeks or years and then we talk again for 10h. Otherwise, my natural partners would be ENFJ, INFP, ISFJ. I easily can establish a connection with them especially ENFJ, ISFJ just... no words sometimes. If you know someones tell bad jokes over and over again, u know... ISFJ at work... while remembering details that are just like... just no words for this type. INFP are like fairy tales, you meet them once you build a connection and then they fly away, yet they care extremely, they have very high standards. I don't know a lot of INTP's and ENTJ's the ones I got to know I get along with very / quite well. The worst type for me is ESTJ by far... I know one thing for sure I will never date or marry an ESTJ person... as friends they are extremely funny and quirky. The types I meet most often is Istj and Estj they are just overpopulating the whole globe. While ISTj humor is the greatest on planet earth. It's very important to read the descriptions and not only take the test. There are common mistypes, but I am not a freak, just an observer. I tested as INFP and felt fooled, I read INFJ and read about common mistypes and found that his has proven more accurate overtime... now almost 10 years........(as an observer mostly I never studied it ) Cognitive functions help the most to understand how one thinks or comes to conclusions.

@now is forever Perfect. Very cool btw.

@now is forever very cool. pls don't make me cringe to death with puns. What did you actually study?

Same. Thanks for the video. I did not know that "motion capturing" is already that advanced. I could even learn this here..., not on a level of sophistication as the video above, yet at least in the direction of "motion capturing". The dictionary showed me "wasserdichte Ausrüstung" first.

@kieranperez

@now is forever having chiropractic like this would be very scary lol. It could make or break you in seconds. With human wet wear, you mean skin? That very true, I asked the people at the Hannovermesse (new CeBit) from a research institute about their robots and they had a monkey or ape robot, explaining he moves differently since it is a problem for robots to walk like humans. They can't balance their weight or so with their hip the way we shift weight as humans to not crush our hips. I bet this is wrong, yet they move very oddly. I've just seen this not sure if it would be the same program, yet the recognition part and sensory-motor part would be in sync.

@now is forever That is why u go outer space and harness ressources. I don't think humans cam stay forever on one planet. Yet, this will take thousand of years? A.i regulations could handld such policies, which a.i robot models would have the allowance, to upload their data. The process would not be perfect and a lot of social upheavels would result, solely because of the fact of living together with an a.i. Imagine a scenaroy a small kid dislocates his arm and because he fell from his bike. An a.i robot which is married to a human and has the license to work as a doctor, comes and with super human strength and analysis "re-locates" his arm back in nano seconds. The mother of the child is furious, yet the kid is happy that his arm is back to normal. It is another way of living if god can not gurrante perfection in the way we humans want it to more or less, how can we expect everything to be perfect with a.i. It won't. I am curious what will happen.

@mandyjw It's not the government it would be an independent entity, a cooperation. That is responsible for security, when workers retire, or have accidents. So, you would have the community and an extended community. That's the whole point of my argument to not rely on the goverment since it get's a bad rep often.

@kieranperez I don't know I think it is great. That we could create another life form that serves us and helps us expand as a species. I still think that humans are the worse part not a.i. Watch this if you want to take it to the planetary ultra galactic levels of the Hitler cosmos, smacking baseballs out of the ballpark since 19XX.

That is very sad to hear and very unfortunate.... my condolences I hope this comes not across fake. I am also losing a family member. The whole thing with the community for example if you compare it with China the family is seen as their social security, at one point it was transferred to companies since it is so ingrained in Chinese culture that, the family takes care of themselves. That when one's parents retire that you take them into your home and care for them, not leave them alone like the west does it or send them to residencies for the old. Now companies adopted that structure if I recall correctly, so they provide them with insurances and are the extended family. Since they value family and community so much. That is their system. I never meet so many compassionate people. So, that would even be a solution from a more stage orange perspective for the situation above. All of this stemmed from their history, with boys being the main value provider and having to take care of the family, they were an asset. When girls married they were part of their husbands family, not any more of their old family. So a daughter was often seen as a burden and they did infanticide. But there is more this is just an overall description or a big picture. I can't recall more. I truly hope this does not sound too callous. I can't imagine the pain of your friend...

@CreamCat That is the whole point with Ai's like Sophia and makes the question what is consciousness even more interesting. What if you train an a.i to become enlightened? And create enlightenment technologies? Living side by side with a humanoid would be freaking great. Most likely the software version of a.i is scarier than anything else, invisible intelligence ruining banks for corrupt institutions. In a transition period. That would be the point of finally going outer space or turn to the inner space and tackle whole world problems. In case a.i did not already fix them...

@CreamCat My other post got lost as my internet slowed down. A friend of mine is printing out a humanoid with a 3d printer and is writing about a research paper about convoluted algorithms reducing the parameters from libraries from 30 million to 5 or so. I'll ask him what he thinks I never asked him about this. If you could craft a positive scenario what would you craft? Besides biotechnology which definitely will counteract a.i or not? I am not against what you say since I have no idea, yet I can't believe that it is that bad besides when the military gets it's hand on a.i.

@CreamCat I still don't quite fathom this. I mean there are sectors like human-computer interaction and coding jobs that can provide millions and billions potentially to the economy etc. Even in places Africa. What exactly is so scary about a.i? Besides the loss of jobs in automation and starting........ an era of automation. When I went to the new CeBIT a couple of months ago, they had some small research institute having a sort of permaculture, hydroculture. What if many futuristic inventions can finally be developed thanks to automation?
