Articulating things in your head is the same as talking to yourself. They say talking to yourself is the first sign of madness. They also say it's hard to distinguish genius from madness.

You learned the limitations of statistics. That's more important than knowing any specific statistic.

All I did was add some information to the nature of the statistics you posted. If you care about properly understanding statistics, you should appreciate that. Was I wrong? Is that why you're so upset?

Surrender to Love.

IMO you should find a balance where you're following a cycle. Going too long makes adaptation and feedback mechanisms kick in and you start losing the juice (for me it's at the 1 week mark). You want to keep riding that upward curve and that requires pushing the reset button from time to time. Remember that ejaculation also has its benefits.

What the heck are you on about?

Exactly my point.

He is on the spectrum though which can make you come off as overly formal at times.

Today's world -> Generalized AI -> skip Orange -> Matrixian reality -> Enlightenment downloadable for free -> technospiritual oneness.

This a common laymen misunderstanding of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia has nothing to do with split personality. It's a psychotic disorder characterized by symptoms like hallucinations, delusions and other miscellaneous symptoms. What you're referring to is called "dissociative identity disorder" (DID). Also don't worry about these thoughts you're having. Realize that the mind isn't a single object to begin with. It's a fragmented collection of impressions that come and go. There is nothing dangerous about observing this fact directly. Self-inquiry is essentially about investigating what your experience is made out of. There are many pathways to that practice. If the thought of being an observer arises, then self-inquiry is about investigating that further. People often ask questions like "who am I?" or "where am I?" in order to provoke that investigation. That's only a question of method.

His new book (atleast conceptually speaking) is supposed to be more feminine/yin/chaos-oriented to serve as a balancing comment on the previous book and the pathologies of too much order. Maybe that will be an oppurtunity for him to show more of his yellow side (or maybe he'll just reverse uno-card and double down).

Man if only Hasan had a silky smooth voice like Vaush and didn't speaking in this whining tone

Depends who you ask. If you ask Freud, it's about everything

That was kinda the point. Chill man. Don't have to get emotional . I'll give you some stats: 100% of all statistics capture ~0% of reality.

The energy stuff comes from decreased levels of prolactin (anti-dopamine).

The statement was clear: "human behavior is 93% predictable". I called bullshit because the study obviously covers only a microscopic aspect of human behavior. The statement is clickbait and doesn't accurately represent the findings. It should instead say that only "some" human behavior is 93% predictable. If you want to predict human behavior, everything humans do is relevant. "Irrelevant" human behavior is still human behavior.

How is it irrelevant? You can't be a human without these things. How is it not a part of human behavior?

Atleast that is how it feels from my perspective when I enter a state of no mind. It feels like death.

You can't predict infinity.

Things are all good until somebody feels like saying something is bad. Good is the default state.

If you define "human behavior" to be 0.0001% of what it means to be human, then sure, have your 93%.

Predict my next sentence. Predict my eye movements. Predict my bowel movements. Predict when one of the oxygen molecules in my lungs are being dislodged from a hemoglobin molecule. Predict the next new technology. Predict when the next car crash will happen. Predict who is the next person to die on earth.

Unless it feels like you're literally dying every moment of your existence, there is a good chance you're not awake.

Bullshit.
