  1. Use paid social media ads to advertise your gofundme. There are people out there willing to donate to you (evidenced by the fact that somebody has already donated to you), so all you need is their attention.
  2. Would extracting biological fluids from a baby animal be vegan? I guess if the mother gives consent? πŸ€”
  3. The concept of a male escort, especially a high-rated one, is really fascinating. Notice the personality type. Notice the social status, the philosophy and values, the type of interactions that women want out of it. They (the good ones) seem like highly caring, sensitive heroes.
  4. So you're dreaming at night. You dream that you're John in Paris. You wake up and you remember you're Sam in London. You can also wake up (again) and realize you're God dreaming everything. Then what are John and Sam? They are dream characters, dreamt up inside the dream, and they seem to experience the world from their own limited perspective (by virtue of the fact that you dreamed as them and they seemed to be in different places with different impressions and feelings). That limited perspective is their mind. The dreamer of all the minds is God. And God is a big Mind. So what is the brain inside the dream? It's a thing that correlates with other things in the dream. When you touch your nose, you can see brain activity light up related to the nose. When you close your eyes, you can see brain activity related to closing your eyes. You can use brain activity to predict many things that happen in the dream. But the brain is still inside the dream. It is not ultimately "creating" the dream. It is part of the consistency of the dream. Just like when the temperature drops, the thermometer shows a drop in temperature, when brain activity drops, you see a drop in certain behaviors of the mind.
  5. Blueprint Baby Powder 😭😭😭
  6. Idealism, depending on the type, is capable of distinguishing between personal minds and transpersonal Mind. It would say personal minds are epiphenomenal/products of transpersonal Mind and thus not ultimately "real". The greater Mind is what is the ontological ground. This lies behind the distinction between Maya and Truth. This lies behind the distinction between the limited world of perception (sounds, colors, sensations, thoughts; things you divide and label through concepts) and pure Consciousness (prior to dividing it up into labels, categories, concepts). More naive ideas of non-duality actually make this distinction implicitly when they say "everything is mind and everything else is just a concept". Where do the concepts come from? Can it be described, systematized? A good philosophy systematizes useful notions like that, hence it introduces distinctions like personal minds and transpersonal Mind.
  7. One evening around midnight, I walked past a bus terminal next to the largest shopping centre in Norway. It had essentially been overtaken by 'russebusser' (for non-Scandis: the buses some of the russ pay millions to have a mobile nightclub for 1-2 months at the end of high school) and there were russ filled to the brim everywhere, piss and puke everywhere. And after passing the terminal, a new bus came from the road and blasted music from the windows from the best speakers I've probably ever heard, sounded like something out of Mad Max. The buses feel like pirate ships on the road.
  8. Why do you think that is? Is it the oil? What about Sweden? πŸ€”
  9. Look at how many people fall for this shit 😭
  10. Law of Jante keeping that in check. Aren't you Danish? Why you single out Norway? πŸ˜‚ Literally textbook definition of delusion.
  11. You don't have to be a physicalist to see that there seems to be a correlation between brain states and aspects of experience. Is he saying Consciousness is caused by brain states or is he saying aspects of experience seem to have consistent neural/bodily correlates?
  12. What do you mean by "quietly" dismissed? Secretly banned, kicked out? Is a doomsday cult not a cult if you don't get kicked out for disagreeing on a selection of issues?
  13. I remember the only time I saw a female drug dealer (out on the job), people flocked around her like she was a celebrity. I mean that also happened with other dealers, but seeing it was so funny.
  14. 2-3 months if nocturnal emissions count as a streak ender (although I might be misremembering). I felt like everything was 50% too loud. Muscle tension, sleep issues. Like being on a microdose though.
  15. People protect people they are fond of. Who would've guessed?
  16. @Yimpa Do you use it often?
  17. My cameo only lasted a fraction of a second
  18. What do you mean "start"?
  19. Consider that you would consider a doomsday cult a cult even if they weren't taking any of your money or using "mind control" techniques (which is what exactly?) or the members are "completely free" to leave.
  20. Instead of taking criticism from a retarded bot seriously, take it from the humans in question: I think if you seriously believe Leo when he says he is the #1 authority on epistemology and consciousness, you might be idolizing him a bit too much. "But I'm just open to the possibility". Sure, I'm too (there are many things that are technically possible), but do you believe it to actually be the case by any reasonable probability?
  21. Think about walking through a crowded PvP zone with high defense/HP vs a relatively vacant PvP zone with low defense/HP. What feels the scariest?
  22. I will throw a rock- I mean a doorstop at you right now through the screen and you will catch it with your left arm, yes? Let's go. My screen is black. Sorry, I've been watching "not allowed to laugh in the cabin", a horrible Norwegian game show that destroys your sense of what is funny.
  23. @Natasha Tori Maru I can't watch AI videos. And is the claim "5-MeO -> death" now? I thought it was "weird beliefs -> death". The video must be using ChatGPT-4o or something, it seems low intellect and hallucinatory.
