Hmmm so a reductive description of NLP sounds exactly like monotheism?

Welcome books and songs, our parents' technology that's been stable for a while and is always built to fit users' particular needs. Spend all your money on working less and enjoying these sensibilities; wind down to give them

But is greed more than response from fear? Fear that you won't have opportunity again in the future, that you won't be comfortable, forced lifestyle changes.. in the anxiety of not enjoying what you can use now because you feel th

We have in fact understood it for millenia, but scientific instrumentation can't probe it like human inquiry has.

Yeah, the symptoms sound like detoxication, those generally having foul smells and needing extra water to wash away our old fears.

Surely we can start with basic emotions? Affection, gratitude, rage, cruelty/spite, tranquility, fear, bitterness, rejection, confusion, kindness are all mind states mammals or at least the smarter ones seem capable to express and mayb

Google's m.o. is not predicated on good taste and foresight but old brute see what sticks--rows of blindsided people throwing--on the wall.

The burst of creativity is just marijuana (a medicinal drug) lifting your emotional hang ups so you express yourself with less restraints, more like a curious child. In other times it's not so pleasant but it's still the medicine

That may explain part of your negative bias. I barely eat during or after (munchies are emotional in nature), don't have TV, dropped net/phone addiction (far more insidious an evil in this age), and usually get high to sing, compo

Believing "it's all traditional physics" has no basis, the only evidence from the past is that models keep getting overturned in counterintuitive directions, and current ones have been long at odds. Has the world raised a gen

Wherein is the basis to assume AGI is even possible? Isn't a fundamental faith that consciousness and insight is replicable a same blind faith that there is a God, for example? How is one more arbitrary than the other?

It's qualitatively different. The nature of math work is analytic, that of music is more expansive. Someone can appreciate the beauty of Bach intuitively, without consciously breaking it down or even being aware of a construction, depe

Everything humans do are for humans. What's your point? Transportation doesn't equal car, but more car space equals less pedestrian space.

It's not so hard to think about fitness and reproduction on a metaverse. When a Universe succeeds in creating one black hole, its singularity creates a new universe inheriting physical laws from parent but maybe distortions can happen

Always keep learning in your own pace, pick up technical books, learn a weird language, get acquainted with vim or emacs, bash, awk.. it might take a handful of years but eventually you'll feel in the know, have a strong opinion about

About three years ago I tried kratom and a few hours into it I decided to start an exercise habit and I haven't stopped. I should try kratom again some day.
