Bitcoin working properly = tool to lock in your value with a limited and deflationary currency. Each individual is incentivized to do this (as early as possible). Society as a whole is not, because it will create inefficiencies. Governments are not, because it takes away their economic levers.

Idk where this will go, but I will ride the bubble/pyramid.

Yeah I think it could be along the same lines. That even in our ultimate mental state, you still don't have the capacity to capture the reality of every moment. Our abstractions are how we see life, and they're just abstractions. The psi is doing something to cut those away, which can be beneficial for people who are caught on something (depression, ptsd, etc). It can be bad for some, who blend that raw perception into their lives and "cant be normal" anymore.

Do you have questions/a general direction set up beforehand?

Nothing about M is intimidating, since I've done it many times before. The most intimidating thing is to focus on the task at hand the whole time. I'm so used to talking to people, texting people close to me, thinking about others etc.

My biggest fear is that revert to having my own rave. Playing music and texting other people.

Probably a hedge fund bought it.

Other hedge funds are making it seem like it's cool for retail investors to HODL GME.

Then they're gonna pull out and take all the money from the retail.

Yeah I did a full 3.5g for the first time in the dark on the bed alone.

It didn't make much sense. I was basically stuck with time/reality changing and moving onward, even though I was resisting it. I think I was physically moving myself in a circle on my bed, trying to resist reality.

Then it ended and that was it. Wasn't enjoyable, and didn't learn much. Perhaps just a metaphor that you can't resist the true reality and moving of life.

Next time I'll definitely do out while hiking instead.

I've had many social experiences as well. Would you recommend solo with a sitter or completely solo?

I've found during techno shows I did spend a good amount of time dancing with my eyes closed, trying to dig in. But that wasn't at all the focus... so maybe a true solo experience would be better.

Also, did you listen to music solo? Or is that also a distraction.

How do you time the cid tab and the M?

I've gathered that it's best to drop the L and then the M at about T+3 hours.

How is any lead that TSLA has in battery tech or software not going to be industry standard in 5-10 years? Other companies will hire their engineers etc.

Only advantage they have is branding. Which is good, but companies like BMW have the premium brand down good too.

How is self-driving software that useful at all for a consumer driving a car?

Nobody is gonna trust the car to drive while they're napping or working on their laptop lol.

Visual/interior specifics, smaller - they will adjust to what the market wants Charging network - not hard, will be there soon Self-driving - more of a "cool" feature, will be industry standard in a decade anyway Remote software updates - trivial to implement, will be standard

TSLA has nothing unique besides brand and battery tech. Battery tech is definitely going to be ubiquitous in a decade. They're already nearing an ideal range and charge time for average usecase.

Like I said, self driving is like a nerdy "cool feature". Nobody is gonna do something on their computer or take a nap or something.

What's the real ELI5 reason for this though? Why does a drop in the fed rates from 1% to .2% matter much more than a drop from 4% to 2%?

Groupthink. Just like that book about sleep and whatever other pop pseudo intellectual books are repeated on here.

What’s the equivalent in dried material?

I have 2g-equivalent vials. I tried about an eighth once, which is about 250mg. That worked really well but just for a day or two.

Yeah I tried for the first time. Was roughly 300mg? For the first hour I was a bit off, but then it cleared and I felt very straightforward and open emotionally all day. Could definitely see it being useful for a date.

What's your dose, is it extract or raw material?

Do you take the psilocybin specifically before the date? Or just in general, the microdosing has made you better with women

No individual has the incentives to help nip this in the bud before it spirals out of control. At this point, it needs to be a top down effort from governments/UN. But of course, the finite resources in this world are zero sum. And there are the fools out there that think the free market can save us.

It's gonna be tough or impossible.

Damn crazy. Why did that happen? Moderate burnout situation that went on for way too long? Or intense burnout in a few months?

Yeah I mean going off of the great burnout comment before, it's that the negative mental pathways are being carved super deep every day by your continued effort -> failure (or perceived failure by you or manager).

I wonder if mushrooms/acid/mdma can help cure professional burnout faster?

How's being a bike mechanic money-wise? If you have a solid amount of capital built up from grinding as a soft engr, that could be a nice segway for a time.

The real reason people upgrade to 32/64gb of ram.

You should prob just completely take a break during the 3 weeks. Go hiking, biking, etc and let your brain rewire so that you're not in a flight or fight mode. Something like "just walking hard for 5 hours gets me to the top of the mountain" and then you'll be so fresh after 3 weeks of that. Work won't seem as stressful or important in life.

Damn, nice. Great analogy to do your own thing.

It's just another one of the millions of buzzword pseudoscience brospeaks.

Also, labeling things could help you explain the world better... but it doesn't always lend to the creation of new things. Like just knowing about these "mental models" isn't going to spur you on to think of a new one. A new one will be made organically to respond to events in the present. Not in pondering the past or future.

Yup. Really almost everything sold online is a "shortcut" to some arbitrary destination. Beauty products, workout supplements, podcasts that give you a small view but seem like they are the way to figure out life, etc.

People want to expend as little energy as possible, which is understandable. But that lets them get tricked into all of this stuff.

Good to realize that "you can't get something for nothing".

Example that comes to mind: language learning.

There's people in the language meetup circles that can discuss a language at length, etc and not even speak it well. They spent so much time learning factoids etc about it without actually immersing and gaining that "on the ground" ability.

No amount of research is going to let you speak colloquial spanish in the countryside of Colombia, or wherever.

Where does the constitution protect a business?

How’d you get access to that? I’m trying to figure out how hah.

Dude what kind of pseudo-intellectual babble is this.

You literally just described what a sphere is. It’s the collection of points in every possible direction, equidistant from a center point.

Would you recommend a full dose 125-175ish by yourself for the first time?

Yup.

Actually for me it’s mainly the fear of doing something trite, that’s already been done a million times. I always think “oh what’s the point, this has been done before”.

But I’m starting to think that everybody hits that stage. People great at what they do hit it, keep pushing out of either strong will or just curiosity, and end up making it (or a facet of it) their own.

You’re saying that comparison steals us of the natural energy of curiosity and “just doing it”?

The rules are too strict. Have reasonable rules. Otherwise enemies exploit your Achilles heel.

If you want to die on the hill of a subjective concept of morality, fine. But I don’t and I don’t think most do.
