  • Please consider this question, sleep on it, for 1/2 month ( or more ), & the answer is only important for you.

    Who said that 1y is “THE” cycle of time required for your-unconscious-mind to get where it needs to get, before it can be in-relationship in YOUR right way?

    Modern-world rejects natural-cycles, & pretends that numerology controls everything ( 1d, 1w, 1m, 1q, 1y )…

    it doesn’t work that way.

    Pregnancy’s usually 3/4y, right?

    XOR 3-seasons…

    Try 3y, for really honestly getting your unconscious-mind growing-up enough.

    Or 7y.

    or for some decades.

    Don’t fixate on the symbol which “controls” the amount-of-time,

    instead keep working on it, & let nature take nature’s own good time, to do it’s thing.

  • There is a stage that minds go through…

    where an ego becomes formed-into, or immersed-in, some CULTURAL “answer”, & it presumes that THAT answer, is ALL THE UNIVERSE’S answer…

    Sometimes it’s “religion”, sometimes it’s some other fundamentalism.

    Some go through it, others don’t.


    Try getting Muslims to accept that “The Lord of ALL Worlds” isn’t revolving around an individual-human-religion??

    won’t work.

    That is THEIR phrase, btw: “The Lord of ALL Worlds”.

    It makes it absolutely-clear that we aren’t the center that all revolves around, but they ignore it, because their assumption-habit orders them to ignore what they’re saying.

    ALL religions do that.

    Every Last One of them.

    I’m including Existentialism, Physicalism, Antitheism, all of the Abrahamic religions, all of the Dharmic religions, Scientism, everything.


    IF G-D/OriginOfAllSouls/AllAwakeSouls/Brahman/OceanOfBuddhas ( pick a label: they’re all approximate-identifiers, because obvously we’re the “mice in the maze”, compared with it, right? )

    is OriginOfAllSouls, THEN … how could it possibly be limited-to our ethnic religions??

    That will become … abundantly-obvious, in the next stage of the world, during the regional-consolidation stage preparatory to WW3 … as the closed-reality ideologies all try killing-off universalism.


    Fundamentally, the religiousity of your friend is … they felt a lack, & now they’re “overfull”.

    Cloyingly overfull, from your perspective.

    Please read https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/thinking-fast-and-slow

    It is the ONLY book which gives understanding of what’s actually going-on in the world, right now:

    Our animal-reacting-mind is trying to beat/break objectivity & correct-reasoning from the world, so that animal-reacting, with all its comforting “simplicity”, can own the world, & decide everything by … habit.

    “System-1” as Kahneman & Tversky called it, the imprint->reaction system, is ideology/prejudice/“religion”/trained-expertise.

    It’s all the same mechanism.

    Lower-forebrain, if one meshes “Top Brain / Bottom Brain” with that book…

    it is utterly-intolerant of correct-reasoning, objectivity, or worldview-consideration/change.

    “System-2” is the objectivity & correct-reasoning & worldview-change system.

    The research which discovered that programming is upper-forebrain backs that it is top-brain, too.

    So, ALL ideologies are trying to eradicate correct-reasoning from all authority in the world.

    Oh, it’s “sooo much comfier, when nobody’s violating our automatic belief!” … yeah, it’s “sooo much comfier” when we’re all herdbeasts, stampeding together, too, isn’t it??

    That homogenous-culture-is-comforting current seems to be underlying ALOT of ideological-polarization, nowadays…


    IF they “NEED” ideological overfullness, THEN … let them go.

    Be open to their outgrowing it, but don’t snuff your health for sake of habit combined-with familiarity-with-them.

    IF they “NEED” ideological-overfullness, … who says YOU do??

    As Elisabeth Haich identified, one of the toughest lessons in human life, is learning that one has to outgrow a friend, or move on, when they won’t.

    It isn’t narcissism, it is self-protection/health.


    Another angle, is … why are they so frightened of objectivity? of correct-reasoning?

    Because the don’t want to know that their religiosity is itself partly-made-up comforting.

    Keeping the religiosity means they don’t have to experience objectivity, & therefore they don’t have to face objectivity, right?


    Wishing you well, but if someone “NEEDS” to be immersed in a cult, let them go, & pray for them: let LivingSpirit rescue them when they allow their own rescuing.

  • Please invest in https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/nutrient-power-3

    & understand that he … left out some key information, perhaps unconsciously to protect people’s dependency on paying him as their direct consultant…


    He identifies a number of underlying biochemical-syndromes which have myriad effects…

    He identifies that the people in prison have abnormally-high lead or cadmium, often ( & I mean abnormally-high compared with their siblings, so it isn’t environmental, it’s that their body is hoarding the stuff, and that it makes their-lives more prone to criminality/dysfunction ).

    He identifies undermethylated-DNA disorder which underlies a set of conditions, including autism, & 1 type of schizophrenia…

    it is treated by SAM-e, or Methionine.

    He doesn’t explain that SAM-e needs to be enteric-coated, & got past one’s stomach, for it to be able to work.

    So, when I did that experiment, I had to take SAM-e, with clear water, & wait until the nausea hit, and THEN I could have something for breakfast…

    XOR I could take Methionine & not worry about any enteric-coating, or getting it past my stomach, for it to work…

    ( for scale: I’m an old male, about 75kg, & took 400mg SAM-e, which was sufficient, in the 2 times I did that experiment, & 500mg of methionine, which wasn’t sufficient, in the 2 times I did that experiment. So, depending on your biochemistry & mass, you may have to scale that down or up, IF you read the book & decide that that’s an experiment you’re needing to do )

    The treating the undermethylated-DNA experiments all produced lack-of-stress, which I’d never experienced before.

    They also removed my studying-drive.

    Which … isn’t OK.

    Now I know that I need Tahini in my diet, to get enough methionine into me, & wouldn’t have known that, before.

    & if I ever need to take the edge off, get de-stressed, then that’s the supplement I’ll take.


    Another underlying biochemical-syndrome he identified is pyrrol-disorder: what I called PTSD-RAGEs.

    Just, for NO apparent reason, suddenly BAM: RAGE.

    The treatment for the biochemical-error of that one, is:

    Zinc, + Arachidonic-acid-precursor/Evening-Primrose-Oil, + P5P form of vitamin-B.

    He states that our-kind’s biochemical error is wrongly-eradicating zinc, & the level of supplementation is … scary.

    He wasn’t kidding.

    When I did those experiments, it became obvious that I was needing 4x the Tolerable Upper Limit of zinc, to reach the right balance.

    IE, I was requiring an amount of zinc that would outright-kill any normal properly-functioning human being, for me to experience healthy zinc/copper balance.

    It was the only time in my life I ever experienced simple-happiness, just as a natural state ( did the experiment multiple times, same as with the undermethylated-DNA treatment experiment ).

    So, now I know that I’m always on-edge, fighting to not let the PTSD-RAGE break me into becoming a guilty-criminal, & that ISN’T what simple-happiness is.

    Dosages were, for scaling, 200mg/day of zinc ( again: that’ll outright kill any normal human, poisoning them, but it corrected my-body’s distortion: without that underlying-distortion, this dosage is evil ), taken as 50mg every 6h,

    AND 2000mg of evening-primrose-oil,

    AND whatever the Vitacost P5P pills are, they’re really-high-dose, I couldn’t take 2/day: that was poisonous, so 1x/day was what I stuck with.

    Oh, & I discovered that Zinc Picolinate & Zinc Gluconate are the 2 to use:

    You can actually use Zinc Citrate as a dangerous diagnostic, for pyrrol-disorder:

    Simply get some suspected pyrrol-disorder person on the evening-primrose & P5P, but hold-back the zinc.

    Then, when you’ve got them in a rubber-room for a few hours, give them zinc-citrate.

    IF it shims-out some of the excess-copper their body is holding, flooding them with it, THEN the RAGE will be … too strong, beginning roughly 1/2h after they take the zinc-citrate, & lasting possibly a few hours.

    IF that happens, THEN … there’s nothing else which will produce that result, so you can consider it to be fairly definitive a proof/diagnostic.


    All this is just giving you the facts about what I was able to test, & to correct the … annoyingly left-out information from his book.

    The overmethylated-DNA disorder was the hallucinations-one, & obviously I can’t be in it, because I’m in the opposite one…

    ( both overmethylated-DNA disorder & undermethylated-DNA disorder can produce depression, or schizophrenia, or other disorders, but all autistics are undermethylated )

    Overmethylated-DNA was treated with a mixture of niacinimide & folate, no idea what dosages.


    Anyways, PLEASE dig into that book, & IF you find it is correctly describing your condition, ONLY then consider doing whichever experiment it is that suits your biochemistry.


    I’m a brain-injury survivor: it took decades to get good at fighting my way into approximating function.

    All the “acceptable” people just made themselves into drugged psychiatric-zombies, like they wanted me doing.

    Healing’s actually natural, when it’s underlying-distortions are corrected, properly…

    That is ideologically-intolerable to Western medicine, but it’s true.

    Healing is a natural capacity.


    As for your friends, & their intolerance for people who’ve got slightly-malfunctioning-brains ( obviously, if they didn’t know before, it wasn’t deforming your behavior/nature/character in ways that forced them into knowing, was it? )

    sigh

    welcome to this world.

    Where only “acceptable-condition” people are “valid”, in the “majority’s” eyes.

    I can’t honestly offer you any comfort, re that category of treatment by acceptable-people.

    Sorry.

  • https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/ayurvedic-healing-a-comprehensive-guide

    Please invest in that book, & do a simple experiment, using its ingredients-lists:

    Find your metabolism/dosha ( probably Vata? )

    Then make pairs of dishes where 1 is maximally pacifying of your metabolism/dosha & the other, of each pair, is maximally aggravating.

    Sit down & spend time with that experiment-meal.

    You may find the experience wonderful/horrifying.

    I discovered, when I did that experiment, 1.5-decades ago, that every dish I was preparing was mixing ingredients harming-my-health with ingredients benefitting my health:

    the recommendations like “lentils are self-inherently-good-for-everybody”, or “dairy is good for everybody”, etc, all are ideological, and NOT individual-biology evidence based.

    Test EACH INGREDIENT, to discover which ingredients are OK for you.

    & know that Frawley’s book is just a “starter” version of what probably helps your-life.


    I’ve found that ALL other Ayurveda information I’ve encountered has been less-quality/integrity than his.

    & I’ve also found that the ideological authority-based-medicine-which-identifies-as-“evidence-based”-medicine people are impervious to evidence.

    https://www.nature.com/articles/nindia.2015.148 Genomic Evidence validates Ayurveda.

    Do the experiment, & see what results you get.

    IF the results are simply too spectacular for the ideological-prejudice to prevent you from relying on it?

    THEN rely on it.

    I do, in spite of medical-prejudice.

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=ayurveda

    That is a medical-research database, where peer-reviewed papers are indexed:

    See the nearly-9000 papers on Ayurveda?

    That’s EVIDENCE.

    Authority-based-medicine which “identifies” as “evidence-based-medicine”, which ideologically won’t tolerate that evidence to count, ISN’T evidence-based medicine.

    ( Dad was a medical-researcher, & doctor: he taught me to think, then he taught me what medical-prejudice means.

    Mom was also a former medical-professional, & I learned medical-prejudice’s nature in a different way, from her.

    I’ve had it with their entire-profession’s gaslighting. : )

    See this article? https://www.edge.org/response-detail/25433

    That became a chapter in a book, edited by John Brockman, the book’s name is “This Idea Must Die”.

    Calling-out authority-based-medicine.

    Not calling it gaslighting, as I do, but calling it out, openly.

    It isn’t just me.


    Anyways, the experiment ought give you MASSIVE leverage with your health, if you do it honestly, and you happen to be in a lopsided metabolism ( some aren’t ).

    If so, then I hope you can turn that into whole-life improving, simply for the real-wealth that healing is.

  • Devolution, here, gave the best wisdom+understanding of all the one’s who’ve spoken, that I can see.


    I don’t match this-current-world, particularly.

    My soul’s previous-human-life lived in a monastery, in the Himalays.

    I didn’t know that for decades.

    but kept trying to find my “home”…

    The culture-difference between North American culture vs some Himalayan Buddhist monastery of centuries-ago…

    it’s like everybody’s alien to what my “home” is, & I’m as “alien” to normals, as they are to me.

    The reason this may matter, is simply that IF one finds one cannot tolerate the cultural-prejudice in one’s local population,

    then it may mean one needs to be associating with some people of a different culture?

    Different age, some people in old-folks’ homes are neat,

    different religion, try finding a Sikh who has values you love, perhaps, as an honest friend…

    or find historical men who had something in them that you value greatly, if you can.

    Charles Darwin’s anti-slavery I admire, especially since it was in the midst of the empire doing the slaving: he had guts.

    Martin Luther King, Jr… was incredible in what he improved, among our world.

    I couldn’t have meshed with him at all, but what world-treasure he contributed, in his own way.


    More & more & more I’m learning that EVERY person I find who looks like they could be a hero … all of them … were flawed in profound ways.

    Which means they’re human, as I am, as others are…

    Rooseveldt … seemed such a hero, until I read his vicious racism.

    Churchill, too.

    Newton doesn’t seem to have been a particularly awesome guy in many ways: scientifically awesome, but … not humanly…

    More & more & more it’s only people like the Hindus Ramana Maharshi, or Ramakrishna Vivekananda, or the Buddhists who simply go on-retreat & … never return, … whom I’m finding to be the people I value, treasure, admire, & want to become more like.

    The world & I are … incompatible, tbh.

    & that’s fine.

    I’ve certainly learned much more this-way than this-life ever could have, if it had been born into what it already-knew!


    All this to say:

    please search-out the exceptions, & earn relationship of some ( mental, e.g. ) kind.


    I discovered, some years ago, that because I live more in books, that the minds I am holding to be my friends, are minds like Simon Sinek ( see his TED Talk, e.g. )…

    Best-of-breed books of understandings.

    Not normal-people.

    Also, not the-whole-author, only the well-crafted/well-edited portion of them!

    So, the minds I have been associating are NOT like what normal people spend time with, in cafes, in TV, in bars, etc…

    which is why I evolve more ( the adamant intolerance I have for “me” is a goad, but without the better-frame-of-reference, that goad wouldn’t accomplish anything, but people evolve to match their context! Want to evolve more? Put your awareness in better-context! Simple rule, can’t understand why so many won’t use it… )…


    & there’s this, too:

    IF you ask LivingSpirit, with your whole meaning, & let it do its thing, THEN it’ll provide answer, eventually.

    The trick to that is that one has to ask coherently, intentionally-meaning-it carefully, so one’s unconscious-mind doesn’t screw it up, one has to let-go & trust LivingSpirit to do its answering its-own-way, AND one has to let it happen at LivingSpirit’s soul-evolution pace, instead of holding-onto today-ego’s pace.


    I’m not asking you to like, or even not-hate, men/males.

    I’m asking you to find friends in good nonfiction-books, books made of honest thinking, & let that be part of your frame-of-reference, too.

    Simply by including a set of people outside of the set who are in some way bullying your validity/worth/potential/opportunity… you can get healthier meaning/balance/frame-of-reference in your life.

    For your-life’s sake, see?


    Ah, if there’s a particular culture which has hurt/wounded/persecuted/harmed you, & it’s no-longer possible to engage them, because ANY engaging them opens all the old wounds…

    get experiencing other cultures’ people, if you can.

    You know the truth that “on the internet, nobody knows that you’re actually your grandmother’s poodle!”?

    The cultures, including racist, that exist on the internet, aren’t dependent on skin-color: they’re cultures, not skin-colors/“races”.

    That proved, decades ago, that racism is culture+identity and NOT rooted in appearances.

    Appearances are only the “anchor” for the culture/identity.

    Get away from the culture that harmed you, so you can heal.

    Once I realized that it’s cultural-alienation which is the factionalizing-force among us, then it dawned on me that we need to be putting subsets of our culture out there to be including others into.

    Imagine a world where some whites could spend Kwanzaa immersing themselves in understanding it, honestly, as a means of enriching their lives…

    Imagine a world where some non-Lebanese could spend a couple weeks immersing themselves in Lebanese culture, & finding some things that each individual grows with, for making their humanness more whole…

    Imagine a world where this kind of cultural-inclusive-sharing were normal, & it was just normal for people to eclectically absorb stuff from all sorts of cultures, from the tropics to the arctic, because that is just how we do things…

    That would erase racism-prejudice, through a few generations…

    The cultural-segregation amplifes prejudice, it seems.

    & I mean that in all directions: male-culture’s prejudice/toxicity is multiplied by its segregation: if more males had the balls to intentionally experience+understand female-culture’s wealth/gifts, & take some of them back into male lives, then our world would be richer…

    instead … male-bullying’s normal, to “protect” exclusive-maleness…


    A few decades ago, I learned that in-relationship, one has many times as many realizations per day, as one does not-in-relationship.

    I’ve also learned that frame-of-reference compatibility, & values-compatibility, are bedrock, & if you can’t match them with anyone, then … don’t get into relationship.

    That can be true of entire-cultures, too.

    There are multiple cultures which hold that physicalism, or ritual, or tradition, or authority, is the LORD, & it isn’t sane to hold any reality could ever question that axiom/assumption!!

    & the more I avoid engaging them, the better.

    If you’ve reached the point where a particular culture is only abuse of your-meaning… please consider getting away from that-culture, for your life’s sake?


    May something in this be useful for you, or anyone.

  • Understand this:

    Whatever one’s current-condition, one changes/transforms through doing/committing/enacting/being.

    Transformation takes time.

    I guarantee you that no normal person who endures 1/2+ century of life is the same when they’re just finishing adolescence vs when they’re 4+ decades older.

    MAKE your unconscious-mind become what you want you to be, if owning-your-meaning is important to you.

    So long as you’re living anyways, one might as well, right?

    ( intentionally-evolving as the default-choice )


    Pay attention to the frequency + aggression of the intrusive-thoughts ( just as a monitoring them thing, not letting them crowbar you through your engaging of them ), & see if there are particular people, or situations, which consistently make them worse.

    It may be wise to avoid particular people.

    There are 2 sides to that:

    1. if your unconscious-mind is committed to harming someone you value, then it might concentrate on making it worse when they’re around: that indicates that your unconscious-mind needs more, & more-determined, enforcing against its ignorance-dominion games, in order to get it to learn to respect whom you value.

    2. if your unconscious-mind’s violent/chaos is massively-amplified, in all directions, by the presence of a person/animal/whatever, then get in the ruthless habit of avoiding being in that something’s presence.

    Also, the more vicious one’s unconscious-mind is, the purer the evil in it, then the more fundamentally-spiritual one has to become, in order to counter it.

    Some people are beginning to understand that this-world is changing… but nobody’s understanding just what a whole-planet sentience-phase-change means.

    Dig-in: your karma is going to be a controlling-force on your Soul’s/Continuum’s/ChildOfG-D’s/CellOfG-D’s eternity, so CAUSE it to improve.

    Your-life is the “reaping” of what your-soul had previously “sowed”, same as everyone’s.


    The fact that you chose to call-into-question the DarkTriad ( which we all have in us, to some degree or another, for all mundane humans ) in you indicates that you have interest in becoming more purely good.

    Respect, cherish, & cultivate that, in you, & it will grow.

    Perhaps haphazardly, for the 1st years, but as one grows “muscle” of one’s character, that muscle itself grows muscle: it’s a kind of snowballing effect.

    Reject “fate”, & earn self-determination.

    'tis a good Way.

  • Egg-bread & scrambled-eggs ( with a multivitamin every other day ) can get you FAR, ultra-cheap ( if you ever need to get through a month on nearly-nothing ).

    Actually, I think all ideologues go in the bin, now, in my view…

    IF anyone pushes ideology instead of objectivity/correct-reasoning/evolving-worldview-to-match-evidence/spirituality, THEN … they’re just pushing their-own ideology’s totalitarianism, & not outgrowing ideology-the-category.

    After the dictatorship-tippingpoint gets crossed by Trump, & the mass butchery of Civil War Part2 begins, then that’ll make more sense.

    1. I hold that the physics this world’s establishment holds-to is obviously flatland “physics”, as it doesn’t include mind/will, and you CAN’T have real physics, if you’re handwaving & saying “oh, but those phenomena aren’t really real”. The fact that … Jacob? ( see Curt Jaimungal’s videos, on yt ) discovered that the difference between statistical-probability theory vs quantum-probability theory, is that quantum-probability includes knowing. Knowing, aka “information”, as physicists call it, is physics-real. Pretending that information is real, but knowing isn’t, is … defective. Pretending that knowing is real but mind isn’t real, is absolutely shameless. Ideological-prejudice is what’s really going on. Look for the “Non-Markovian” probability video, & you’ll see it spelt out plain as day: knowing is physics-required.

    2. The fundamental-technology should be possible, but the durations might be absurd.

    3. the way it works is this:

    Speed-of-light-limitation is WITHIN a given SPACE.

    So, if you’ve got time & multiple different 3D-spaces ( think leaves on a branch: each leaf being a 3D-space ), then the speed-of-light-limitation in EACH is limited-to limiting speeds in THAT space:

    There isn’t any speed-limit BETWEEN spaces, see?

    So, “rotating” from another space into OUR space, then moving 100km within our space, then “rotating” back into their space, means you’ve now moved 3 parsecs…

    Simply because our 3D-space & their 3D-space don’t happen to be at the same “angle” to the universe’s underlying-structure…

    then travel which is simultaneously slower ( from the perspective of the traveler ) & faster ( from the perspective of they got from point A to point B faster than light within this space could have done ) becomes doable.

    So, it’d be required to 1. know the underlying-structure of the universe, 2. be able to engage a “rotation” from our 3D-space to another one, intentionally, & make it be one that is travel-useful ( that may not be possible ), & then 3. do that rotation, move within that other space, & then “rotate” back into our space, at a drastically-different location.

    All that’d be required is for the “rotation” to remove our having inertia/mass within this 3D-space for it to be useful, but more-complete “rotation” may be required for accomplishing real interstellar travel.


    IF you go look for Susskind’s “Time as a Fractal Flow” video, on yt, watch it to the end, as the lightbulb goes on at the end, mentally…

    but consider the implications of that:

    IF time is fractal, THEN space must also be, since they’re part of the same 4D thing.

    NOBODY in physics is dealing with it that way, ttbomk.

    & if space is fractal, then it simultaneously is, & isn’t, there, & that may be usable.

    ( it’s there from within it, but it can be not-there from the perspective of other 3D-spaces which simply don’t “see” it: because each is only fractionally-dimensional, they can all be crammed into some kind of superspace, without colliding with each-other )


    Anyways, this is just how the shape of it feels, & as I figure-out more, this understanding gets revised, but that’s the fundamental sense of it.

    There are … thousands? of 3D-spaces in this universe, & we’re in 1 of them.

    Electromagnetism is limited to within a 3D-space, but gravity isn’t: it diffuses throughout them all.

    “Dark Matter” is just conventional matter in other 3D-spaces which are … how to say that … “coincident” with our 3D-space, but the falsifying-quotes are important: their 3D-space & ours are not-colliding, they are each fractional-dimension/fractals.

    So, we’ve got “Dark Matter” galaxies simply because there isn’t any matter in OUR 3D-space, but in other 3D-spaces which are coinciding with ours, without colliding, there ARE actual-matter galaxies, & their gravity is present, weakly, in our 3D-space ( I’m presuming that gravity is weaker between-3D-spaces, that may not be true, or if it is true, it may be … anywhere from slightly-weaker to orders-of-magnitude weaker )

    We’ve got a couple diffuse galaxies with NO “Dark Matter”, simply because there’s matter in OUR 3D-space, but not in the other, underlying-us 3D-spaces…

    etc.

    It also affects the smoothness of the Cosmic Microwave Background, too: instead of requiring that space inflated at zillions-of-times-the-speed-of-light, you can instead have thousands, or zillions, of dimensions expanding, all of the 3D-spaces expanding, but none of them going translight…

    & you get the same degree of smoothness, because it’s happening in more dimensions, simultaneously, instead of happening in only 1x 3D-space, at translight speed…


    The fact that gravity is nonlinear & QM is linear ( another of Curt Jaimungal’s videos, some utterly-hyper balding scrawney guy explaining this ), so if you put mass somewhere, the mass’s gravitational-field ITSELF has gravity/gravitational-field: it’s self-amplifying, whereas all quantum-mechanics stuff is linear… proves that the 2 theories are fundamentally incompatible: they’re different KINDS of mechanics.

    I’m saying that all the QM stuff is within-a-3D-space, & that gravity isn’t within-a-single-3D-space: it’s affecting ALL of them, simultaneously.

    & that we need to discover the underlying-structure which gets both perspectives into the correct relationship.

  • One of the commenters said it was fundamentally gross to them…

    It’s fundamentally depressing to me: intimacy’s … unending.

    There’s no such thing as “a 1-night stand”, or “just a fuck” … you’ll never be unmixed with that someone…

    & doing it as mere-transaction, or mere-physicality … ??

    but apparently that view that most of a someone isn’t physical, & most of sex isn’t physical either, is deemed to be nonsense,

    & pretending that merely-physical is “all that exists” is actually common …

    so, my perspective is deemed lunacy or idiocy by this world.

    But seeing women being used for mere-physical sensation by random strangers, as a purchased-transaction … that’s depressing…

    I wish the world didn’t work that way.

    I’m with all the people who want prostitution not-criminalized, who want it taxed & regulated, & I’d add that I want pimping criminalized: let women form cooperatives, or something, but nobody should coerce anybody into the biz of being used bodily.

  • But nobody’s suing the schools for their textbooks-with-needless-“updates” extortion-rings?

    OPEN TEXTBOOKS EXIST, & school-systems ought be legally-obliged to either use those, XOR justify coercing students into economic-abuse for sake of fancier ones.

    OpenStax.org

    LibreTexts.org

    etc.

    This SHOULD be cutting both-ways: lawsuits going up AND lawsuits going down.

    Since it’s only axe-chopping-down, then … obviously, then the people doing the “representing” are NOT representing the citizens in their ridings, but rather the established-special-interest-groups who’re profiting from the extortion students are currently subject-to.


    Fundamentally, beyond all copyright-law, platform-exclusivity, etc, fundamentally, IF G-D put immense LivingPotential in a life, THEN it’s our obligation to be honoring that LivingPotential.

    NOT to be snuffing it unless money is concentrated to a particular class, or pseudoperson, or cartel, or institution:

    It isn’t that “information wants to be free”, rather, it is that LEARNING ought be free, for upright, proper, honest learning ( not evil/abuse/similar ).

    The Scandinavian system whereby nobody can buy their way into higher-education: it’s merit-ONLY, & the public-education-system cannot be bypassed by money/status, THAT is more right, but I’ve no idea how they do learning-materials/textbooks.

    Further, it ought be that learning & certification are decoupled: one ought be able to get learning at any institution, or even on one’s own, & then get certification independently of that-school’s-institution.

    “Conflict-of-interest is the root of corruption” is a good rule for understanding why learning & certification need to be segregated, to break the cartel-system from education.

    ( that does, of course, require standardization of required-learning-for-specific-certifications, & many might balk at that, but if driver’s-licenses & pilot’s-licenses can be standardized, then I’m willing to bet that degrees can be standardized, in many subjects, too. )

  • True.

    There are several fundamental problems, which, together, are anti-fragile/robust:

    Assymetrical-leverage: corporations act to alter markets to suit them, & exactly as management generally won’t tollerate the workers acting together, to level-the-playing-field against management’s coherent torque,

    so, too, corporations won’t tolerate individuals or activists leveling the playing-field against them, either.

    Also, there’s nobody competing against moneyarchy/concentration-of-wealth-archy.

    For all the leftists complaining vociferously that businesses ought be paying livingwage, etc, … all the left has to do is create businesses which do that?

    & nobody will.

    Natural Selection works, whether anybody competes against the “bad guys” or not, though: IF nobody competes against them, THEN … Natural Selection picks them, & they rule the future.

    ONLY IF someone competes against moneyarchy & concentration-of-wealth-archy CAN Natural Selection ever decide otherwise.

    Also, without real education & real journalism, there’s no point in pretending the other 2 dimensions have all they need to coerce our world into level-playing-field.

    Here’s a gift of excellent-meanings from a rather well-known author, Taleb, who also identifies problems with economics…

  • ttbomk, emojis are legal function-names in both Swift & Julia…

    The Swift example was damned incomprehensible, & … well, it was Apple stuff, so making it look idiotic might have been some kind of cultural-exclusivity intention…

    The Julia stuff, though, means that you can use Greek symbols, etc, for functions, & get things looking more like what they should…


    Also, I think emojis are actually better than my all-text style, for communicating intonation/emotion ( I’m old: learned last century ), & maybe us old geezers ought to adapt a bit, to such things…

    That does NOT mean that cartoon “code” is good-enough, whether it’s cartoonish in plaintext or in emojis, though…

    I’m just trying to keep the cultural-prejudice & the code-quality being distinct-categories of judgement, you know?

    ( & cultural-prejudice is an actual thing, though it’s usually called “religious wars”, isn’t it, in geekdom? )

  • TheRegister had an article, a year or 2 ago, about using AI in the opposite way: instead of creating the code, someone was using it to discover security-problems in it, & they said it was really useful for that, & most of its identified things, including some codebase which was sending private information off to some internet-server, which really are problems.

    I wonder if using LLM’s as editors, instead of writers, would be better-use for the things?
