This is an amazing interview:
Man, I wish I had the health and energy levels to have his work ethic. Notice how he takes his health and energy completely for granted. He would not be able to do any of his work if he did not have the health for it. All healthy people take their health for granted. All success assumes health.
Also notice his attitude towards psychedelics. He is too busy to do psychedelics. How myopic and delusional. That's how Maya works. Too busy to realize God. Maya will absolutely use your success against you. Hard for a successful man to find God because he's got "important" shit to do, like make 5 more films about blue cats.
James Cameron is a beast. His work ethic is unmatched. If you want success, model him.
I like to study how the earliest technology began. I am fascinated by how early humans bootstrapped technology from just rocks. It's astonishing that it worked at all. Here are some videos on that topic.

A year ago I went to my usual family doctor to renew a prescription. We somehow got sidetracked in our small-talk and I matter-of-factly told him that I study spiritual stuff. He got excited and wanted my opinion on a strange phenomena that's been happening to him. He proceeded to tell me that throughout his whole life he has experienced hallucinations that had a big influence on the trajectory of his life. People would appear in his life and give him life-changed advice, only later those people turned out to be full-blown hallucinations. But the advice they gave him was very beneficial. For example, one time in his youth in India a hallucinated person gave him advice to become a doctor. Which he followed. Another time, while he was finishing med school, another hallucinated person gave him advice to move from India to America. Which he followed. In both cases things worked out very well for him.
Then he told me that when he sleeps, a strange shadowy man appears in his bedroom and touches him. This has been happening to him regularly for decades.
Since I am into spiritual stuff he asked me what I make of all this. I told him I believed him. I told him that lots of spiritually gifted and neuro-divergent people experience strange and wacky spiritual phenomenon which is difficult to explain. I told him I don't know what's happening to him, but one thing's for sure: materialism is false and all of life is just a hallucination. He's never done drugs or psychedelics. He's a decent, normal, sane, rational, certified doctor, not any kind of New Age quack. He's been my doctor for over 10 years. If he hadn't told you this story, you wouldn't think there's anything usual or spiritual about him.
How do you make sense of something like that?
I still can't explain it. One thing I'm confident of is that he is not lying and he is not merely deluded or mentally ill.
I think there's a lot of people out there like my doctor, but they never speak up because they don't want to be seen as "crazy", especially if they are professionals who need to maintain credibility. So they keep quiet, which makes materialists think that nothing spiritual exists. There is a huge stigma in professional culture against talking seriously about such things. It's all just dismissed a bad for business. Which, again, is just survival bias. Has nothing to do with the truth of the matter. Materialists do not understand that spiritual experiences like this are actually quite common, they are just flippantly dismissed. Be careful what your mind dismisses.
Materialist explanations of such phenomena are completely unserious and unscientific.
I've been playing the most recent Zelda game on PC. It's quite an amazing game. The open world is awesome.
I don't like the idea of playing it on a Switch. I like playing it on PC at high resolution and at 60 FPS. The Yuzu Switch emulator runs amazingly well. I'm able to run it at 1080p 60 FPS on an Nvidia GeForce RXT 4060 Ti and Intel Core i7-13700K CPU. In some parts of the levels the FPS drops down into the 30s, but it's still very playable. The Yuzu emulator also allows the installation of very handy mods to your Zelda game, like this mod for removing fog and bloom. The fog and bloom in the Switch Zelda games is just disgusting and ruins the whole look of the game. It looks so much better without it. The art director who implemented fog and bloom should be fired. Whoever invented bloom deserves a spot in the lowest levels of Hell. No other visual effect has single-handedly ruined more games than bloom. And then there's this mod for removing repetitive cut scenes and excessive dialogue in shops and shrines.
Yuzu opens up a whole world of Zelda modding:
Here are all the mods I use:
- 60 FPS mod
- Reduction of Bloom & Fog
- Streamlined Repetitive Events
- 4k Textures
- Skip Bloodmoon Cut Scene
- Fast Camera Tracking
- Better Beedle
It takes a bit of technical work to figure out how to download and install Yuzu. But it's not too hard. You can find guides and videos online if you search around. It's a superior experience to playing it on the Switch.
Note: Using this emulator does not need to be piracy. I suggest you still buy a physical copy of the game to pay Nintendo their money. This is for people who like to play on PC at high rez with mods.
