I am not sure, a lot of technical information is never published as PDF, so they couldn't have leeched it from the internet. Elsevier has scripts of science books that they published and printed that OpenAI and the like have never ever seen. It is a substantial limit in the time frame Integral proposes. Infrastructure doesn't appear out of thin air.

@integral I have never before considered you to be that naive. Where will the energy come from to power that AI economy? This compute time is not a free meal. It takes electricity to run and water to cool. Scarce resources. Scarce resources that humans need.

@Daniel Balan The Economics Book by Big Ideas Simply Explained. Books from these series are usually good for any topic, https://www.amazon.com/Economics-Book-Ideas-Simply-Explained/dp/0756698278 Then maybe something by Steve Keen, if you like to dive in straight into critiques of the status quo.

The book is so bad it I consider it's scholarship questionable even for the 40s, when it has been written. Typical out-dated social science. There's little point in reading Economics books written before the 90s and it's certainly a red-flag when someone raves about a Hitler-era scholar. Science has moved on light-years away from the theories in vougue back then.

@Leo Gura Lichess.com bots scale more inteligentlly. There are 10 levels of them and level 6 starts to get difficult for me.

@Leo Gura Your elo is not around 1600 if you play against 1600-rated bots. Real people are much more demanding and it's harder to get that rating in real games. I am around 700 elo and can win consistently against these 1000-2000 bots on Chess.com.

Use some critical thinking skills and add facts up. If Republican base is older, and older people use computers less, then of course social media traffic will be skewed Democrat. What you are quoting is the fact the website is pandering to the right-wingers and siphoning them into the site. It's an unusually high percentage of people leaning right-wing that visit the site. This purely a bet on corruption by the market traders. They hope the company will do well financially as Elon Mua is "friends" with the President who is of questionable morality. That doesn't mean the company is managed well and doing well financially when it comes to actual sales of the products. Model 3 is an old car and they have nothing new that sells. Less than half a year ago Musk had wanted to get $56B out of company, that would tank it.

@Buck Edwards he has almost bankrupted Tesla by now. They have no new good-selling products and it's stock value has always been a hype bubble. Since the government subsidies are ending, it's really doubtful if Tesla will survive the next decade.

@Leo Gura terribly addictive drug.

@shree From the reports, it's mild for most people. Eating a substance is the easiest method, you just need to have a stable protocol and control the variables like how exactly are you administering the substance and when you have last eaten. It's not like LSD that no matter what roa you use 100% gets into your bloodstream.

Then praise be upon you. Good job, thanks.

@MAHAVATAR_-_BABAJI The chemistry section has already been uploaded to Z-Library, though. At /book/18611424/2746fc/bufo-alvarius-the-psychedelic-toad-of-the-sonoran-desert-synthesis.html
-
You don't need onion service to access Z-Library. Just go to their wikipedia page and up-to-date, legit, non-scam links should be there. Z-Library and LibGen are the only ebook libraries you will ever need if you want to find some rare book you can't buy, like the Bufo Pamphlet shared in this thread (you can't buy the pamphlet with synthesis anymore and there are no plans for another print).

You need to adjust your Spi-radar. This guy has always rubbed me the wrong way. -
@Davino Have you read Peter Ralston? I think you might like Peter Ralston. Books like "Zen-Body Being" or "The Art of Mastery."

He literally is. He did a crypto scam and kept the money. You know, performers give you money back if they use it as a prop in a performance. Scammers and thieves keep it in their pockets.

One can call it a Zeitgeist.

@Spiritual Warfare has no idea that women get horny.

Expect a 'once in 1000 years' flood every 10 years. That's climate change.

@Butters that's more of a retro category. I am doubtful the new Leo would put the law of attraction category on the list if he was planning it from the ground up. Too much human bullshit in that category in my opinion. Yet, the Esther Hicks' book is some of the finest bullshit I have ever seen, I've enjoyed reading this book from this category and even found it to be practical.

Discussion of torrenting, profanity directed at a covid denier amidst the peak of covid, calling Joseph Maynor stupid. The last one, I have no regrets about, the guy was total pain in the ass most of the time. The only one worse than him that I can remeber right now was the "stage coral" bodybuilder guy who boasted "I have more upvotes per post than Leo, listen to me."

You are absolutely correct. The tendency is real, but racism is a construct. It needed to be invented and is reproduced through social mechanisms. Yet, to get rid of racism is not to get rid of underlying condition that led to creation of racism in the first place.

You = God Are = God "What is" is God. When you say "I am God" you don't add any new meaning to the "I am, you just underline that God is the isness of anything. You could have said as well "God God God", because everything is God, but that doesn't make for a coherent sentence, "I am God" sounds better. -
Girzo replied to Joshe's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
That's not direct access and neither consciousness work. I doubt Sadhguru would be talking about some new age ideas when talking about multiple lifetimes. You don't even know in what sense he has used that phrase. He could have as well mean the whole evolution of humankind up to this point in a poetic manner. Anything really. And if multiplicity of lifetimes is somehow a thing one can get really conscious of, I doubt that reality matches the map new agers like Newton sell. -
Girzo replied to Joshe's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
yes, and I just wanted to add my point in case someone else reads it and goes, "oh, a shiny concept, must be closer to truth," as it's quite a common trap.
