What about combining the archaeological record AND interpretation of myths? That's when you get a pasta party a'la Hancock style 💃

Ancient alien egyptologists run into the problem of post-hoc multiple comparisons: the probability of finding a significant result is severely inflated when you throw a million spaghettis at the wall and try to see which ones stick. This tends to be adjusted for in scientific studies that use inferential statistics (e.g. Bonferroni correction). That said, if aliens exist, and if the human brain has been basically the same for the last 200k years (and we achieved meta-cognition 30-75k years ago), that's a lot of potential. I think it's plausible that we could've been advanced at least one time before the last Ice Age, but I think the evidence is not conclusive.

Imagine if you get reborn as a male chicken 😬

I'm saying it's not clear what it's best to spend your limited time and attention on. If you want to cure cancer, you can't at the same time be a leading vegan activist that topples the meatocracy. Those are full-time jobs. So you have to choose what to focus on, and if that is the case, why not focus on something you're good at, something you want to do? As for choosing to not personally be a vegan in your daily life, let's be real here, what percentage of animal suffering are you alleviating? If you care about animal suffering, in a meatocracy, you would do more than simply not eating animals. But then again, there are other things worth caring about. And if this sounds like cold consequentialism, veganism is absolutely the superior moral choice on a personal level. But the personal level matters SO little in the grand scheme of things, and you can be doing so much more with your life than nudging a number one hair's thickness on the road to Proxima Centauri. But I agree it does seem like a disturbing image that if I were to experience the perspective of a chicken when I say it matters so little that specifically that chicken gets eaten. I would never do that if it was me in that situation. But then how different is the mind of a chicken from the mind of a plant? I would definitely think cows and pigs are far far from a plant, but I'm not sure all animals are.

Easy: vote for a government that uses tax dollars to solve world hunger.

He used to weigh 58kg, then he stopped using Snus and he "inflated" to 69kg. Nicotine is a helluva drug.

The beauty of the question is in how general it is.

Yeah, I was being hyperbolic, hyperanabolic. I think he was off TRT after he increased his calories? I'm 80kg myself and got some fat, wouldn't call myself shredded (but visible abs 😏). But I'm less fat than my little brother who is 69kg and basically same height.

Lol. Get more testimonials people! He is still not convinced 😆

Yes, it's insane. You are wrong unless you want to quantify that statement.

Honestly people need to construct their rationality first 😂

😂 @Schizophonia

Yes.

It's very straightforward what I said, you can Google it. Spiritual practices are not psychologically innocuous. There are good reasons for being cautious around administering them.

You know plain old meditation is associated with psychosis?

No. Let's make a poll: Bryan was a fat pig who was rich and now he is a skinny pig who is rich.

That's 75 billion dollars that could be spent on curing cancer. You can always argue that there is one thing everybody should do which is good. But the safest bet is letting people find out what they're best at and doing that thing. Let people who are good at curing cancer cure cancer. Let people who are good at being vegan activists be vegan activists.

Cringe anti-human spirituality or making any topic a non-duality lecture 👎

Should everybody donate their savings to malaria-prevention charities?

I deleted it 3 seconds after I posted it I even said I was sorry below. I'm sorry. But yeah, you don't really need anything. But you can do things more efficiently or less efficiently. Regardless, it's all God.

Yeah, Bryan is crazy. He also has 5-MeO tattooed on his arm. You're like beyond saving. You would be like if I literally revealed my erect Johnson size in plain English, you would say it's flaccid because that's the only "logical" conclusion. No, it is literally that small. Arghhhah 😭

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa. "5g monthly, for three months". "Monthly" means on a monthly basis. If he had meant on a daily basis, he would have said "~0.2g daily, for three months". I was about to ask if you have dyslexia but this is just daftlexia. No because mystical experiences are absolutely not at all life-changing and absolutely do not lead to permanent changes in the Default Mode Network, the network of the self (you have yourself said the self is the basis of all pathology)......
