I don't know accounting stuff so I can't say, but I wonder if they stopped every and all activities except building and delivering cars and fired all personnel not involved in those, would they stay afloat?

Fair enough, so they put some marketing stuff as expenses and might have some visibility in the real world, but it also says in the same document: Historically, we have been able to generate significant media coverage of our company and our

This doesn't sound right. As far as I heard they make something like 20% or more profit on sold cars but due to constant heavy investment they burn through cash reserves.

Tesla doesn't advertise (yet). They have a huge word of mouth / Elon Musk cult following. He must be doing something right for getting all that loyalty and hype. A few hundred thousand preorders with 1000 bux down is something.

Yeah I think sub perceptual is a ridiculous term. Microdosing on the other hand is legit. Take a quarter tab (say 25 ug for the sake of the argument) or 0.33 grams of psilocybin mushrooms and you won't see visuals but you will feel a s

Because drug culture isn't about buying things you don't need with money you don't have to distract yourself from the now so you wouldn't feel existential dread or have to face your runaway thoughts. Psychedelics take yo

Perhaps this is what I recalled: As children are very prone to be misled, women are similarly very prone to degradation. Therefore, both children and women require protection by the elder members of the family. By being engaged in various r

I wonder why that is. In plenty cultures and traditions they're treated as less capable or less trustworthy or less honest etc. Even in Bhagavad Gita women are said to be somewhat comparable to children and lower in the spiritual game

I'm not affiliated with any sect and haven't been on a Dhamma.org retreat but I felt compelled to write that you can try to understand where they're coming from. A 10-day retreat may give you glimpses of what is possible (tha

You may uncover so much mud that you stumble and fall but if you're so inclined you just need to remember to get up and keep going every time.

Don't mistake the term evolution for selecting only intrinsically superior or ideal traits. What if humanity evolve to being dominantly near sighted because it is no longer a killer condition?

I don't want to preach and I don't know your situation but I offer my perspective regardless. I may be talking completely past you because I'm not familiar with the term organic depression, and that's ok, maybe someone e

Having dealt with years of clinical depression and not getting much done beyond basic 'just in time' survival I want to say the following: Meditation may unlock or bring you closer to the bad stuff you've been avoiding dealin

I'd add something like Monero, or other coin designed with privacy/fungibility in mind, as a long term survivor. Bitcoin's development bureaucracy is too slow and cumbersome and who knows how much the community is willing to

If they can make it so you could get a cheap subscription to starlink, without needing your own receiver, to route your udp traffic I would pay for sure. Since it's going to be a LEO constellation the pings will be crazy low round the

It is possible I misinterpreted your point but one could argue the collectivist policies were inefficient and also caused major grief such as famine and what not. Also some argue USSR was not communist and that there has never been a commun

It was pretty obvious to Orwell in '43 when he started writing Animal Farm, an allegory to Stalinist terror and everything that went to shit during and after the soviets stole the revolution in Russia. I reckon people in the know total

You are right in that the ability to be beyond the thoughtstream is only the beginning. You probably know all this, but I think with further inquiry and experience it is inevitable to come to the conclusion that there is no free will, it&#

You are not your thoughts. What is meant by the self being an illusion is that there is no thinker behind your thoughts, no entity in your brain that is the 'you'. Most people do not even realize they are constantly submerged in t

Without knowing your situation, plenty folks take (liberal amounts of) painkillers to numb the pain and thus never find out or work on the real cause of the pain. Warmth and daily stretching, massage and exercise fixes most sore tight spots

Indeed, why would reduced diversity be a problem if we're moving towards engineering the optimal human?

Have you discovered what it was in the LSD experience that let you break off from those hindrances? Were you fully aware and conscious (meditative) on it or on a rollercoaster 'tripping balls'?

Being (too) high 24/7 likely has downsides in the long term but as with any exercise it's possible you can improve your performance without downsides if you have adequate rest and recovery. There are things that are not on by defa

Even 0.1 g of psilocybin mushrooms is enough for me to notice changes in consciousness / perception / bodily sesnsations. I and plenty others consider it a micro dose but it is definitely a sub-tripping dose (you need 1 or 2 g for

I don't think you can patent and steal a monopoly on a drug synthesized in 1912.

It is only boring if you have a restless mind that wants to constantly preoccupy itself with distractions and run away from the slightest discomfort instead of being here and now. With some ZEN focus any activity can be interesting when don

One theory is that combined with shitty set & setting the people who went haywire after using psychedelics had some seriously strong energies/stuff unlocked from their subconscious that they weren't yet prepared to process. Th

One thing I've noticed is that when I'm distracted (e.g. using a device) and not mindfully eating I fail to fully taste and appreciate the food. It's as if most of my conscious focus is shifted elsewhere than my mouth and ton

This hits close to home so I have to chime in: Got burnt out at work, pretty much did nothing for weeks, spent all my vacation days, some sick days, a month on actual sick leave and then finally told boss with 2-3 months left of my contract
