"The role of the artist has always been to provide excellent training data for future minds to educate themselves with."

We are not aware of the implications of this sentence. This is it. The only "source" is play. Joyful play.


289. A man is only worth the sum of his possessions. you know your rules, Ferengi <3


Ah Ferengi's. Lots of them in the Belt.

211 - Employees are the rungs on the ladder of success. Don't hesitate to step on them


I think that is the whole point - let us assume they did not know about the Widmanstätten patterns and s*iet we know now. What if they just enjoyed the beauty of that power from within;)

Without "knowing". So the power is "accidental" - accidentally in Tut's hands.


Question: Is there a possibility in Stellarium to place thyself on for example Pluto/Jupiter, some comet, or some nearby star (inside Milky Way or outside) - and look at the Milky Way center/another random star/area of space + have trajectories drawn when I "pres play on time" engine?

Using those perspectives - with all of the trajectories drawn, alongside with the preset universal/local/celestial coordinates, luminosity, maps... huge time-spans... is - informative for us who want/plan and work on slingshot maneuvers through space&time - it gives a spacial perspective for the game ^_^

Anyone remember "Red Shift 3"?

If (when) WW3 kicks into gear - I will most certainly spin-up a virtual win98 box and revive the 20 years old pleasure engraved in my teeth and synapses. Ah man - even the memory of those explorations and detailed reads on any particular object/area warms my broken heart.


I wrote some scripts that let you tour the solar system on an hourly loop:

cool story bro


Just try it - you will not regret it!


What are your products and protocols for LM?


I confirm that Lion's Mane is the single most important ingredient of my rocket fuel.

My transition: ~6 years ago I was a simple anglry slave in a rouge fitness industy, basically a programmed fool in international politics and I had brainfog, neurosis, nervous breakdowns and I was chasing my tail explaining to the world how to change for the better.

Approximately 2.7 years of: cold showers, deep drill into ketosis, tumo breathing... badically my take on wim hoff+monastic lifestyle+meditation+deep&detailed daily routine prrogramming, behavior twisting and extreme fasting over Upanishads, Buddha's texts, genital chi cong training, a dose of half maratons, three NDEs - and I feel like I've turned my brain ON.

I learned how to learn, invest and maintain business, art of living and I finally feel that my contribution to the community is tangible (on the surface the texure feels like a growing unimal/xenobot).

Key (visceral) thing is that my brain reads one signal from "my" guts: this is only a beginning of a multidecade thing.

Let me report the update on the next increment.

Namaste ^_^


I bet that the breath and cold water are still legal:) Do not give up!


"First learn. Then understand. Insight requires ideas to be uploaded to the mind first."

Yes, our mind has a 'backdoor' which is imho a slow write/read/breathe manifold we all can summon and it's free (both as a freedom, and as a beer).


I didn't really understood this "learn then understand" concept in the article, and also didn't understood the "backdoor", can you illuminate me?


For me, the experience of learning how to read/write Japanese revealed this insight. In particular, I utilized a technique called RTK (for Remembering the Kanji, a book which describes the technique) in which each character is assigned an English word or short phrase that approximates its meaning, and then the student invents a colorful story that relates the key word to the sequence of strokes used in writing the character. Then, the information is committed to permanent memory through spaced-repetition study methods (including lots of actual writing of the characters).

This technique is often criticized for teaching only the writing and rough meaning of characters, while ignoring actual usage and pronunciation. However, for me it was an absolute revelation that allowed me to finally break through and eventually achieve something close to fluency in the language (passing the highest level of proficiency exam, the JLPT N1).

Later, I began to comprehend how the method itself--which is kind of abstract and involves quite a bit of raw repetition--achieved its amazing results by building a rock-solid scaffolding in my brain upon which I could hang all of my Japanese language knowledge. If learning is the process of building new knowledge structures in the brain, then understanding is the process of linking existing structures into tightly integrated patterns which can support higher-level reasoning. The stronger the base structures, the deeper the understanding that one can develop on top of them.

As for the "backdoor", I believe the original comment was referring to the way that the brain seems to naturally (and sometimes effortlessly) work to strengthen the connections between knowledge structures that are sufficiently "exercised". So, one can use conscious efforts to simply reinforce the raw knowledge as much as possible, and then trust in the "backdoor" to reveal the important insights and connections as they are uncovered.


Imagine the live map of the money-flow around the research/review/publishing/usage. It could give us some hints.

Pain becomes palpable If one think about it. Maybe some thermodynamically provable illustrations of the energy around the issue would help us illustrate the problem (read: the scale of sickness of the 'intellectual property')

My hunch is that we're at the stage where KWh could - and should be used as the universal money (with all implications and hurdles it may signal)

Like purified BTC.


This is completely incomprehensible


(I think it meant) "If you visualize the monetary flow in the article publishing business, the "sickness" involved («pain») becomes visible: the energy waste becomes so apparent that it suggests replacing money directly with energy".

Concept that its author wanted to stress by crafting an energy consuming post.

(Joeberon, you never had to extensively decrypt the texts of theoretical philosophers of the latest centuries, had you ;) )


I'm a physicist, and personally have very little interest in philosophy. I haven't read really any philosophy at all

EDIT: actually that is false, I have read a lot of eastern philosophy, but that to me is more of a religious thing


i agree with this guy!!


I like this feeling in my forearm bones when I just strike and hang my axe in a swollen vain of a pure and juicy Gold-pressed latinum of the Internet.

Naw, no judgement here - it's just a _gut feeling_ of a high-resolution detection/detector of the decline of the civilization-type-of-situation.

again, namaste to us all \m/
