  1. Sounds very specific to me. You will figure out the details in the process. Do the first steps in the right direction and let it flow.
  2. It's your list, do as you like. You CAN put a value you don't embody high on the list, nothing is stopping you.
  3. No, studying computer science doesn't oppose being conscious. Why would it? You can use your technical skills towards any goal. You could create an app that helps the environment, a game that explains complex ideas like strange loops to people, a piece of software that helps scientists better organize all the data from the research, etc. Whatever it is you are interested in, you can find applications of math skills in that field. BTW, doing spiritual practice for 1.5h a day and psychedelics from time to time is not hardcore, that's a bare minimum if you want to have a shot at this game
  4. @seeking_brilliance Marihuana is not really a psychedelic, it works by altering a completely different system in your body. Perceived effects may be somewhat similar at lower doses, but the mechanism of action is not. Marihuana doesn't act on a serotonin system at all, psychedelics don't act on the cannabinoid system at all. And it's the serotonin system that is connected to healing and preventing addictions. It's just bundled with psychedelics because of its low harm-risk, low addictiveness and the fact of being used by the indigenous cultures. Smoking is a more habit-forming route of administration. It seems that addiction is more likely to happen when using high-THC, low-CBD strains of marihuana or smoking large amounts.
  5. @Rilles Too much fun to be legal
  6. As someone living in Europe I always thought that GTA games are pure fantasy. It turns out they are based on reality more than I could have expected. Crazy laws you have.
  7. @Sunder The more shitty widgets you sell, the more low wage workers you will need. They need to talk to your clients, complete orders and pack it for courier service. How much are you going to pay them? Let's assume $20.000 for them and about $200.000 for yourself and your super-duper manager each. Do you see how unfair this structure is? There is a rescue for those minimal-wage workers. That is raising the minimum wage and higher taxation of the rich, so they don't displace the costs on the consumers. You can also raise their wages voluntarily because you are a noble human being. But it does nothing for the software industry because engineers are already earning above average. So you either have to freelance, make an effort to get hired at a conscious company or create one. It's all about the consciousness of the business owner in my opinion.
  8. For you as entity there will always be a higher form of embodiment, mastery. The same goes other way around, infinitely many less sophisticated forms will be below you. But in a twisted way because every form has infinitely many steps of evolution both up and down they are all equal. And the Truth about that equality never changes, is the real rock-bottom. This is self-evident and doesn't require confirmation by anyone, neither scientist nor machine elves. At least that's how I understand it.
  9. @Matt8800 Most people lack concentration abilities and mental faculties to even create a tulpa, let alone a one that can move physical objects. Maybe for some talented guys like you it is possible, but for most people treating them as imiginary friends will do. I believe in my statement that you can get rid of such tulpa by ignoring it. Maybe it will take from a few days to a few months but will work. If you want to do so, of course.
  10. I think it's an imaginary friend, not any of the paranormal stuff. You have total control. If you stopped paying attention she would disappear completly from your mind.
  11. BTW, it's not about getting elevated heart rate. It stiffens your heart's muscles and over time it has problem with closing valves causing the blood to flow backwards. It can cause you sleepines, skipping a beat, shortenning of breath. And it won't be experienced during the trip but when doing daily chores after you develop the disease.
  12. @Leo Gura that's not comparison to MDMA but all substances with activity at 5ht2b receptor. Even some herbal tea rich in alkaloids can cause this disease. Only 5-MeO-DMT is likely to be safe, because of low activity there. Not so much DMT or DPT, they rank high. They have higher affinity per dose than MDMA. 5ht2b: 4.00 DOB, 4.00 MDA, 4.00 Aleph-2, 4.00 2C-B-fly, 4.00 2C-B, 4.00 TMA, 4.00 psilocin, 4.00 TMA-2, 4.00 2C-E, 4.00 2C-T-2, 4.00 4C-T-2, 4.00 MEM, 4.00 DOM, 3.97 mescaline, 3.93 6-F-DMT, 3.91 5-MeO-DIPT, 3.91 DMT, 3.88 DPT, 3.70 DOET, 3.64 MDMA, 3.48 DIPT, 3.32 5-MeO-MIPT, 3.13 DOI, 3.11 LSD, 3.01 lisuride, 2.72 cis-2a, 2.17 SS-2c, 1.81 RR-2b, 0.69 5-MeO-DMT; 0.00 salvinorin A; ND: 5-MeO-TMT, ibogaine, EMDT, morphine, THC Source: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0009019 I already have inborn Valvular Heart Disease and using psychedelics monthly or bi-weekly didn't make it worse. (I had heart tested after a year of usage.) Better safe than sorry, though. I wouldn't use DPT or DMT longer than 2 weeks in a row and would then go on a a 1-2 months hiatus before taking them again. That's the typical warning they put on herbs and stuff with similar effects at heart.
  13. Though, using them daily for extended periods of time is not a good idea. It can increase heart risk. Source: https://thethirdwave.co/psychedelics-heart-risk/
  14. Also, 5-MeO-DMT is more dangerous than DMT, so don't assume that somthing that can be safely combined with DMT will be also with 5-MeO.
  15. Ok, I understand. Everything's clear. But please, just explain... How the heck Hitler parody video equals to Leo saying "I am Enlightened"?
  16. I vote for C and hope they get enough votes to get in and form a coalition with B. People are going to support C anyways and if they don't get enough votes they all go wasted, which only helps A. That's a current situation in Poland. A being 'Law and Justice' party, currently ruling party from the right. Catholicism, nationalism, drug war, anti-LGBT, you get the idea, topped with a lot of social programs that are based on giving money out directly, for example to parents with 2 kids and more, additional welfare for seniors, etc. B is a mixture of all the Blue, Orange and Greenish parties that have united to avoid getting crushed by A. Lacks serious leadership. Have ruled for 8 years and during that time were selling the country to big corporations. That caused a backlash and current situation. C is progressive left. Has great values but lacks maturity and experience with actually being in charge of a country.
  17. @Scholar I mean you as a CEO or business owner decide to not earn that much relative to your employees. If you are self-honest there's no reason why you should be compensated 20x or even 10x what the low-level worker makes. They are spending an equal portion of their life for the benefit of the company. It's a question of how much you value human life by itself. That's why I said it requires integrity. I said that in the context of this question "How much money in profit am I making you?". I think what this person really aches for is not for the company to stop making a profit but earning on par with other workers, including executives.
  18. I think it's not a problem of how much a company is making but discrepancy in sallaries. If CEO or business owner is earning a year 20x what an entry-level developer working for them makes then that's an unfair structure. If it's 3-5x then it's reasonable. Though I know that it takes a lot of integrity to abide by such rules and there's no economical incentive in doing that.
