on a side note, it also took my interest to new levels because the 3d animations revealed to me just how mechanical our body is, with a hierarchy of components very much like an integrated circuit.
so I can only imagine what it will be like to conduct labs or teach students using a 3d VR environment. It has a unique edge that not even the best teacher on earth can do-trick its users into believe they are not in lecture, but in a video game like world but with higher productivity.
I think people have an idea of what schizophrenia looks like but they might be surprised by other very closely related disorders.
holy shit. was it shiny and pulsating? I saw the eye but no pyramid. But I recognize the eye from the dollar bill.
All I remember is looking at the shining, pulsating, eye and thinking, so this is what Truth looks like. No idea what the fuck that meant but I figured it out, and it was like being punched in the face-basically I looked at every aspect of my life, and that's what the "Eye" was implying to "Look", basically examine my life to figure out what needs to be done.
It was not negative at all but more of a WTF I WANT THIS TRIP TO STOP BUT IM ALSO FASCINATED. I use caps to illustrate the full state of panic and calm I was in.
After the trip and I googled 'third eye symbol' and I was shocked to see the similarities to the "Eye" I had witnessed but with a shape that looks like a thunder icon, which curiously enough is very similar to the Sanskrit for third eye....I have never ever seen it before either
Needless to say, my interest in hinduism and chakra exploded. i believe that I truly experienced a third eye opening moment. Like I was on a different plane of existence, where I am part of the whole, and that everything is everything and the most shocking conclusion of all:
There are dimensions beyond our world. In 3rd dimension, things don't make sense but in higher dimensions, the math works out according to Michio Kaku. His book goes into full detail but basically I absolutely believe that we are not seeing the true reality and that we might have been led on this path by very evil and greedy people who abuses the scientific process to invalidate the existence of common spiritual human experiences that arose indepedently by different civilizations but declared "null and void" by a highly materialistic driven empire where it's citizens are so spiritually starved that they will never be happy. No matter how rich and powerful their country becomes.
well, thanks to them, i have got some of my life back in order.
it could be that the mushroom trip creates a dissociation from internal thoughts and perceptions of the ego vs ego-less self, so you 'hear' your own thoughts.
it's crazy how common the themes are. did you hear extra-terrestrials? Like I literally heard a thought broadcasted from somewhere not on earth with the message "we aren't from earth but we are gonna help you out. clean your fucking room. move your computer to living room. get your shit together"
.... needless to say that was a big turning point
I haven't done mushrooms since and I'm kinda scared to experience the whole thing again.
The scariest shit I've seen while tripping was seeing the Eye of Providence. What's more creepy is that this is a common symbol people experienced. For example, I didn't know what the hell was a third eye until I saw it. It was unbelievable.
It changed my life. It gave me an unbiased raw truths about myself, circumstances, and ultimately the realization that we are where we are because of our decisions in the past.
Everyone should consume psilocybin mushrooms once. LSD you buy off the street can be laced. But good ol' mushrooms will never let you down.
Before I reached this state I was seeing math formulas everywhere. Basically when my internal thoughts stopped, that is I was experiencing reality in the rawest form, the only truth we have in the universe is math, in all shapes and forms, we live inside the 'body of god' that is math, but of course, so extremely complex to express in our 3rd dimensional world.
'who is historysearch.com and why should we trust it?'
United Fruits anyone? Delmont? Petrol? A stage to launch billions of tax payer money to build failing institutions on a failed notion-to rid society of some evil by declaring it illegal and creating an underground monopolies that ultimately controls their host like a parasite while slowly sucking out life.
It's tragic and it's unfair to the people and culture of this region. But who is going to be held responsible? How do you un-spill water?

Rarely do autobiographies leave such lasting impression but the "Hard Thing About..." book was a really transparent look at Ben's humanity IMHO.
Usually I would not hesitate to share cynicism but I find Ben resonates better with people like me who also grew up in the 'hood' and are tryna make it.
I think this trade war has been very telling, it showed the underlying fragility of China's boasting as a superpower.
All in all, I see USA recovering from the Trump blunder, and I believe that it will come out stronger than ever.
If anti-fragile by Taleb holds true, the US Gov is relatively anti-fragile to Russian or Chinese ones. Note that anti-fragility refers to the recoverability when exposed to unforseen circumstances. We see the US democratic system evolving and we will see a much stronger democratic process as a result.
On the other hand, things don't look good for Russia's economy along with China now facing an exodus of foreign investors and corporations nervous with China's new dictator.
yup. basically near insta-verified rewards and verification. The issue mentioned below of someone botting can be solved by having "oracles" or trusted advisors with a score to maintain.

not sure what you mean by proxy
In fact he argues that it's possible that these higher dimensional beings figured out how to travel between universes (if you follow the multi-verse theory) by heating up to an insane temperature point where it rips a hole in the space-time fabric, allowing for the said civilization to continue living in another universe where it isn't collapsing.
To me the Minot airbase incident is the most telling based on all 20 something individuals that witnessed the same events where light orb like things deactivated the nuclear silos.
This suggests that the nuclear tests basically triggered a radar somewhere deep in space by said advanced civilization, then suddenly you have a spike in UFO sightings.
I think this scared a lot of people at the top, because their power base is directly threatened by an advanced adversary that has technologies far beyond your own, want to keep hush hush so they mix lot of hoaxes to make it impossible to distinguish real from fiction (a classic disinformation strategy with tall tale markings of tradecraft also used by Soviets).
What's even more strange are both USSR and US encounters with UFOs and the same type of hush hush, namely the Phobos satellite which was 'decomissioned' by a similar looking object found during the initial Apollo moon landings, which is riddled with censorship, including what appears to be unnatural and regular structures and objects you can observe with a powerful telescope (check out https://youtu.be/3xiJnDuVOFA?t=2m12s)
Just watch Unacknowledged on Netflix....it was frankly eye opening.
say what you will but the fact that US Navy released the UFO video captured by F-18 IR radar, the announcement of a "Space Force", it's all obvious that the next bogeyman won't be communists or terrorists but extra terrestrials....this is the ultimate logical conclusion one can make based on the following core belief that tests one's affinity for trust in higher institutions formed by humans.
first im not interested in Proof-of-Work or usage of blockchain at all...sort of like with what CoinHive and other browser based JS miners do...once you realize these mining activity really is just to add a level of authenticity and verification to a transaction with the ultimate goal of having a completely auditable trail going back to the genesis block. This exact property can be built using Datomic where I can achieve more or less an unalterable auditable logo of all transaction made to the database even deletes without worrying about any of the mining rewards centralized by pools that essentially dwarf and skew the wealth. The only difference being that Datomic runs on some seriously secure corporate infrastructure, the miners being Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, Fujitsu, Samsung all regulated and still answering to the civic organs of democratic economies instead of unknown nodes with opaque interests without regulation which makes it ripe for disinformation.
what if instead of running some number crunching, you were incentivized to consume a content, use an app? What if then you could use some of those credits earned to distribute to content creators that you really like (sorta like patreon but you "mine/get rewarded" when you complete a task). I see that BAT of Brave Browser tries to do this but is anybody really using Brave instead of their go-to browser....I doubt it....
I had this idea for the longest time of implementing something like this but with instantly verifiable and creditable tasks. Proof-of-Achievement I coined it. But once I realize I'm not building an ICO or cryptofoolery but a grassroots marketplace for task you can do in your browser.
Some scenarios:
Say you want users for your SaaS web app --> boom you got an audience.
Sa you want to get paid for your SaaS/Content/Video/Music --> boom the audience that has "BrowserCoins" can pitch in to support your cause.
The main selling point being that for the miners the reward is immediate, there will be some clever verification methods, but essentially when you complete a task you "mine/rewarded" 10ßC....there came up with a currency symbol on the spot.
Miner (running a browser extension):
1. "hmm...create a profile on somebody's Tinder clone app"
2. *several minutes later*
3. "okay verified email, browser extension says successful"
4. *you receive* 10ßC for a job well done from hnaddict393
1. miner#001 has complete your job titled "awesome dating app needs some love"
2. verifier#091 is checking the quality of your job.
3. verifier#092 is checking the quality of your job.
5. verifier#091 has finished and has approved result.
6. your job has been completed and 10ßC was removed from your account.
1. verifier#091 has started a verification task.
2. verifier#092 has started a verification task.
3. verifier#093 has started a verification task.
4. verifier#093 has rejected output-reason: "profile looks fake"
5. verifier#092 has accepted output. awaiting your verification.
6. verifier#091 has accepted output. thank you, your verification pool has been credited 2ßC for reaching a consensus within the acceptable time outlined in EULA.
7. verification task has reached a consensus: SUCCESS (2/3)
i wonder how these poker sites are allowed to operate from offshore and take all my money :(
Next thing you know he is blaming Jews and any other group traditionally been scapegoated.
Be as it may, there needs to be more study and enforcement done to prevent this sort of outcome, but sexual violence is not exempt in women prison population.
The main issue seems to me a cultural obsession towards demonizing the phallus. For instance, it's perfectly acceptable for men/women to joke about harming a phallus yet it's absolutely not okay the other way around, yet demand society treat both as equals. It's interesting that in Japan it's associated with positiveness, while loathed in Anglo culture. For example, 'bollocks' refers to the scrotum. Hence, the tendency towards much less societal tolerance and increase in violence towards sexual minorities. While transgenderism is still a tabboo, I don't think transwoman faces physical challenge in Japan vs UK.
I mean they killed Turing because he was gay which represented a cultural threat via symbolism, but my theory is that societies with institutional level homosexual dynamics early childhood to young adulthood, mainly the whole concept of boarding school, where the upbringing of boys are left to the caretakers, statistically almost always an abuser, instead of a caring UK mother who can't be allowed to bother with "brats", will display violence towards the very victim which they project themselves on to.
The adage of projection is very real with homophobia. In my case, I worked with an account executive who was openly homophobic, would utter the word "faggot", use racially insensitive photos of minorities, in supposedly a startup that touts itself as a "diversity beacon". So it irks me when I see people misrepresent the whole situation and transphobia is no different. It's far worse, I've worked with a gay CEO who proudly claimed how he turned down a transwoman because it was "wrong".
If people just dealt with their own insecurities instead of trying to make it a "hetero-cis" vs "freaks", it would do society and this world a giant favor. I mean look at Thailand, no laws or people parading Caityln, simply acceptance, without any anger or personal views.
