@nosilverv You’re substituting geopolitical narratives for your personal life and relationships. You haven’t tended to what needs to be tended to, so you seek solace in narratives about the wider world. This is essentially a complaint about the quality of the TV shows you’re watching.

Western philosophers love to ask poorly framed questions and then get confused and call it a paradox or dilemma when they can’t answer a question that doesn’t make sense.

The reason why I think this works is because a carnivore diet is essentially an intense elimination diet. Eating garbage vs eating animals that garbage is one level removed, you're essentially using the animal's biological filtration as a buffer for your own body.

It’s easy to buy an electromagnetic monitor that detects 3G-4G frequencies (up to ~10Ghz), it costs around $300. But if you want to buy one that can detect 5G frequencies (up to 60Ghz) they cost $30,000 and are not available to the general public.

I think a major pitfall of rationalism is that it directly leads to sociopathy. Then why are a lot of rationalists pitiful nerds rather than cruel and evil people? Because the sociopathic energy is directed towards themselves rather than others.

Projection is not an issue which just affects the individual. A strong enough projection is like a vortex which draws others into assuming the projected role. So people unwittingly become actors in others' internal dramas.

I love these debates and the fact that people can’t come to a conclusion. Highlights that “white” is a term that emerged from America’s cultural context and doesn’t even make sense when applied to other parts of the world.

@colin_fraser It might have some prior on making things look "normal" or "physically possible" due to the training data overwhelmingly consisting of non-paradoxical images. Like making the staircases connect sensibly might correspond to something in the NN structure.

Schizophrenia is not too foreign to sane humans. We can all hear voices: our internal monologue, or imagining the voices of friends or family. Difference may be a high degree of internal fragmentation which makes voices experienced as intrusive/alien.

I believe these abilities are accessible to anyone. However, the process of accessing them as a normal person would require being broken open and transformed. Ordinary personality is like a protective shell that keeps energies out — for a reason.

It's not that hard to do, especially if you are investigating some niche area very deeply. Scientists and doctors are people with careers and families, and they do not exhaustively explore every corner of their fields.
