This. I know it has very little scientific merit, but Roger Penrose's argument that "consciousness is quantum" always rang that bell to me, the thought (or a solution to a problem) comes to me always entirely at once, not one

That’s impressive. I was interested in first hand experience with PTSD and persistent depression treatment, but I am happy with any sort of “subjective but clinical” information about this.

Can someone share any relevant experience with this? Best would be if you did it properly under supervision of clinical professional, or if you are a professional here, by any chance. Doesn’t matter if it’s US or not.

I agree they seem the most active of big tech so far, but in terms of “data moat” competition they are supposed to be behind, as this is not the foundation of their business.

so based on this logic, do Google and Facebook have the biggest potential competitive advantage?
