There's nothing wrong with it per se. To each their own. I don't see playing soccer or rock climbing as "distraction", on the contrary. I mean distraction as in distracting your mind from the present moment. For example,

Fitness? The idea of puffing and sweating inside a heavy VR headset doesn't seem very alluring to me for some reason... Besides, I personally think fitness should be about reconnecting with the body and the real world, not "grindi

That sounds awfully reductive. While it's obviously true that many blockchain-based businesses are/were just trying to cash in on hype alone, that doesn't mean that ALL ideas involving a blockchain are bad.

Very interesting, I've been on the lookout for something like this for a long time and it still surprises me how few out-of-the-box, open source, E2E encryption solutions there are available (especially for us Europeans...). One thing

It's funny how the author went for React for the frontend, even though Angular + Nest.js are a much more synergistic duo. He even structured the application like a typical Angular app.... Why not simply just go with Angular? :D

This might seem a bit out there / like woo woo to some, but have you tried "breathing exercises" (intermittent hypoxia) and cold exposure to counter those effects you are talking about? Particularly, the Wim Hof Method? I k

I think the definitions and models (the four path model specifically) from the pragmatic dharma crowd are the most interesting by far. Mostly because they can be tested. It's (Theravada) Buddhism stripped of a lot of the religious dogm

Is this always "wrong" though? Of course if you load analytics.js from a 3th party server before consent, that's wrong. If you load it AND start tracking before consent, that's very wrong. On the other hand I don't

Commenting a bit late since I had this tab open for a while, but I find this discussion interesting. Even more magical than consciousness itself, are people denying that there even is a hard problem of consciousness to begin with (if you as

It's downvoted partly because of the reasons other commenters have given and also because it shows ignorance about the drug market and about LSD specifically. Why participate in the discussion when you are not informed?

This just confirms the sentiment shared in the article by Jeff Cross in March. It's very, very disconcerting. Especially for people who've been working with Angular(JS) for years, like me. A fish rots from the head. At a certain p

Hey Joshua, thanks for your kind comment! Very interesting thesis in your paper. Do you think that besides as a framework for anxiety diagnosis, this could suggest lucid dreaming as part of the therapeutic treatment? Consciously inducing lu

Exactly, perhaps I'm just revelling in nostalgia but to me they were more like the golden ages of the web, when everything still seemed possible.

Humans are always going to be humans. Governments will appropriate religious beliefs and buy out corrupt religious leaders as is convenient and beneficial for them. That's not unique to Buddhist countries. As for the teachings: you hav

How can you not have noticed any changes in 40 years time? I take you don't live in an area with extreme summers/winters? Or don't you go skiing and notice the rapidly melting permafrost? Also, regardless of your opinion and

I second this. If you can look past the "Goenka dogma", these 10-day retreats offered around the world are a great way to experience life raw and without distraction of technology or otherwise, in meditation.

Is it really? You might as well say it's been a disturbing trend that developers aren't familiar with assembly language anymore. As abstraction on top of abstraction is created, it becomes easier and easier to write software, so n

Agreed. There are plenty of places where the people engage in spiritual inquiry & meditation while still having a very solid base rooted in reality.

Perhaps the trick could work by displaying it but setting the opacity or the height to 0, and hiding it from screen readers with aria-hidden. But I guess that won't fool the smarter bots.
