Maybe you’re the kind of person who believes the glass is always full if you can make the glass arbitrarily small.

If I’m a glass enthusiast or glass-filling-liquid enthusiast, sure if the alternative is those things not existing!

Sleep: - wax earplugs - buckwheat pillow - a pillow that goes between my knees (I'm a side sleeper)

Above combo has made 6 hour sleep feel like 8 hours and 8 hours feel like I can go the rest of my life without sleep in the morning

Fitness: - gymnastic rings: ultraportable and ultrascalable (from arthretic grandma level to olympic athlete level) workout. I have two pairs and I'm thinking about buying another one.

Fun: - someone already mentioned minecraft lol - wireless buds, I have Jlabs go air pop and I sometimes prefer them over my trusty Sennheisers HD 600 - Ibanez rg565 genesis desert yellow (add another 0 to 100 dollars but I bought it in installments so, technically, I paid less than 100 dollars for it per month, worth it, you can shred the absolute fuck out of it)

Health: - good sunglasses (cat 3 or even better cat 4) - omega 3 and vitamin d : important if you live in unhabitable, gray and cold regions of earth (like eastern europe)

Education: - Anki, free for pc and android, cheap for iphones


And a basic cheap sonic toothbrush (sonicare)

Whats vile about that?


Amorality.

There's no evidence that anyone is born with particular sexual deviations. It attempts to simultaneously absolve and normalize attitudes that ideate rape of children, so long as they don't act on it. That's a pretty thin and permeable line to draw.


were you born with an attraction to women or is there no evidence to support it?


The truth


Why pay a dominatrix for a flogging when you can just stub your toe

I'm so sorry you did not enjoy it! We wanted to bring Josie Kins' index and research to our readers and did reach out to them for a bit of background.


I enjoyed it, people like to complain. If you wanna go further back on sources there's some pretty good stuff in like, math magazines hahaha

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Just checked that link out and whoa, very cool.


Yeah Bresseloff is the man. Def check his work out, Ralph Abrams passed away recently (RIP) but he definitely had some words to say about all this stuff too, used to talk a lot with Mckenna and the unfortunate crank Sheldrake in trialogues which are fun reading if you got a mind open to that kind of thing

Some other links - not only how the cortex got its stripes but how the leopard got its spots. You see alot of this math in psychedelic visuals now (Reaction-diffusion networks etc)

'Wail to god' (the second piece of artwork at that link) strongly resembles a brighter, faster, and more detailed version of what I see whenever I close my eyes but still try to pay attention to what I'm "seeing".

(Normally, I "tune out" my visual field when I close my eyes. And for reference, my mind's eye is weak, but I do not think I have complete aphantasia.)


Tulips almost can replace employees, just like AI


I think that quantum will be the next bubble


I bought a hundred shares of D-Wave about six months ago, betting on this fact.

A part of me thinks quantum computing is mostly bullshit, but I would be very happy to be wrong. I should probably learn Q# or something just to be sure.


100%. I'm buying all the domain names and have already profited heavily over 9 months.


This type of announcement is definitely pumping air into it


Lectures are one of the greatest cargo cults ever. Why people, scientists in particular, are so unscientific?


Good ol' Turing Test, but the real one, not the pop-sci one.


So everyone in neuroscience is ignorant but not you?


There is a lot of hocus pocus in neuroscience. Next to psychology, anthropology and macroeconomics.

That doesn’t make the field useless nor OP’s point correct.
