   AFAIK the ads don't really correspond to the content. Regardless if you are looking for weight loss, business success, or liberation, you come into contact with the same teachings because it does all of the above. It brings people in w

   I don't think so... I thought GP was explaining how they would be quantifying qualia, and pointed out that this is kind of against the definition of the word. Maybe I missed something.

   What Westerners need to be taught is different from the needs of other cultures. Seekers here are seldom lacking in their discernment, but very lacking in their empathy.

   You have to admire the repeatability with which they get it wrong. It's almost like they copied their homework.

   I did use the qualifier 'almost'... and I don't see you actually disagreeing with what I meant. There was something called Eckhart Seminar Training or something which took people through decades of training in the more cumber

   Generally it is understood that qualia are not quantifiable.

   I'm finally starting to unravel New Age terminology which deals with this subject. Eastern philosophy is almost impenetrable due to the cultural barrier, but those who succeeded imported some relevant ideas to Wester society. It's

   People have been writing occult literature for as long as writing has existed. Artists and entertainers are not exposed to the spiritual arts (e.g. OOBEs) even though they employ the same state of consciousness. No one is entitled to occult

   Our parents over-sharing PII that can be used for coersion on a mass scale is what isn't being taken seriously enough. Zuck is a cancer.

    Taking a book and randomly swapping words means you are introducing noise. This is high-entropy and really it's outside the scope of what I'm comfortable speculating on. Image data is much simpler to think about in this paradigm,

    Not obviously, no. - Just a very high probability. Perhaps that provides noise immunity to some degree. If it does, it is a form of AI. This admittedly open question presumes a very large fuzzy 'code book' with which it can re-ass

    Smart contracts will require heavy duty mathematics. There is work nearing release which would employ Haskell in this capacity. These contracts are going to live in a very complex environment and have network effects which approximate a sem

    This is very abstract, but I believe that since both input and output are very close in program space compared to the total size of PS, the heuristics to map between them are going to be of a manageable size. This is based on an intuition a

    I can imagine the output of program space. That's pretty big. All possible universes in fact. It's an issue of probability and bins. While natural data is infinite, there is vastly more unnatural data. At some point you have enoug

    They most likely meant economics as in the numbers game rather than in the original sense.

    To me and I assume most Westerners it looks like an egregious excess while poverty is rampant. At least space projects produce trickle-down technology, but this is just busy-work.

    In addition to what GP said, first and foremost they fought expansionist wars. They had readied 28 000 tanks before WW2. - Think about what that means. Their social progress pales in comparison to the evil they were planning.

    Merit is subjective which is why diversity is critical to an organization's survival. Gender and ethnicity are not a guarantee of diversity. The Nobel Prize organization operates on a very dated model of merit.
