  1. @AtheisticNonduality Cool guy, right? I challenge @thisintegrated to find any logical inconsistencies in his worldview. See if logic protects you from cults
  2. If you haven't tried going 1 hour straight before, try it
  3. It's very bad optics. I wouldn't recommend it. MrGirl just doesn't care.
  4. Vaush's decision to end the debate wasn't because of the idea that joking about pedophilia is morally inexcusable. It was because of the inference that MrGirl is a pedophile. But that's just MrGirl. He talks as honestly as possible without virtue signalling, even if that makes him get labelled as a pedophile or get booted off panels or entire platforms.
  5. What does that have to do with conservatism?
  6. I don't think he said the last four of those.
  7. Yes. Google doesn't answer questions. It gives you websites. It's more like Quora.
  8. You could test it out. Just make sure it's structured and you're actually using a timer. I found that most of my meditation gains would occur at the 45 minute mark, also at the point of the day where I'm the most alert (the window before or after dinner where my stomach is not too full or not too empty). My experience is that meditation is like an unwinding of tension, and that if you interrupt the process, the tension quickly starts building up again. So if you want to go deep, it's in a sense quality over quantity. You want to go all in for each session and see how far you can go, not spend progressively longer time in half-assed states.
  9. Apparently, OpenAI is a blockheaded materialist who doesn't understand metaphysics. It literally doesn't understand what it's talking about : I'm going to stop with the AI posts for now
  10. Oh, the big one:
  11. It's well-read
  12. That could be possible, but then they can't have their own journal in that section, but you could solve that by giving the ajournalistic people their own journal section.
  13. Hmmmm. It doesn't like very specific probability questions I tried prodding it, but it wouldn't budge. "I'm just a sowwy little robot "
  14. I've been looking for this for a good while. It's actually useful Much more efficient than manually scanning Google Scholar.
  15. Science is: a method ("the hypothetico-deductive method"): falsifying hypotheses by doing experiments/observations and interpreting data. a field of study: a set of paradigms, methodologies, theories, hypotheses, methods, measurements, conclusions, predictions, explanations, descriptions. A "logical understanding" applies to many fields of study: scientific, philosophical, spiritual, personal.
  16. I would think so, but of course, I haven't experienced these things ? You still won't walk off a cliff. You'll still have a biological imperative (prarabdha karma) that will run itself out in this life, unless you're able to leave the body intentionally through mahasamadhi. I don't know if I would classify myself as "woke" as a child, but I started being obsessed about the concept of morality at like 7 years old, and sometimes I would go into something like a panic attack where I would start crying because I would become so aware of my own mortality (maybe it was a type of non-dual glimpse). That lasted until I was 11, and then it reignited one summer when I was 14 while stuck on a super boring vacation trip. After that, I was able to create coping mechanisms to avoid thinking about it (you sort of see the parallels with my spiritual journey some years later ☺️).
