Lama Yeshe let it slip that "tummo" is the Tibetan word for kundalini yoga. This can be a conceptual unlock for yogins practicing these disciplines. Tummo at its essence is not about staying warm while sitting on a frozen lake. It is the first of the Six Yogas of Naropa that comprise Mahamudra, and an umbrella term for the entire set. Mastery of the sixth yoga (phowa) is considered tantamount to the attainment of buddhahood.

What is the clear light? As civilizations come and go, one question rises above all others: What is the clear light?

@nosilverv Yes, I think the Name of the Rose is worth it, but the best Umberto Eco I've read by far was Foucault's Pendulum, which is mind-bendingly awesome. Have you read it? What did you think?

As someone who has spent years in monasteries, I feel qualified to point out that your fantasies about monastery life bear little resemblance to lived experience. To wit: if you’re not there to get enlightened, you’ll wash out in the first week.

I think that, if I had been born a few centuries back, I would’ve enjoyed joining a monastery. Spending the day vibing out in adoration with my bros, exchanging strategies for how to frustrate harlots and succubi…

The most powerful thing is agency goal-directed, iterative, and persistant over time. Ghengis Khan set out to dominate the world and succeeded to a large extent, only stopping when he died. When you see an AI proclaim a similar goal, we will have entered a new era. As of March 2026, AIs are as smart as humans but lack Ghengis Khan's focus and will.

I could write a book. No need, though. I've already expressed the entire idea. Do you understand? The world is as it is, not as you'd like it to be. Recorded music is not as good as it was in the past, and will never be again. This is a result of a technological advance.

Motown era music was sublime because they recorded live with one track and one microphone. There was no overdubbing. Everybody had to get it right at the same time.

Working on 1 track = banking on 100% of your work to be really good Working on 12 tracks = banking on one 12th of your work to be really good

@cremieuxrecueil If only we could find an objective way to know whom to hate. Ask yourself why you want to post this.

Compared to men, women tend to have a relatively longer index fingers than ring fingers. As it turns out, the hands of lesbians and gay men are shifted towards the opposite sex, such that gay men tend to have relatively longer index fingers and lesbians have longer ring fingers.

Aren't the people now suffering AI psychosis the same people who'd be suffering some other kind of psychosis if there were no AI?

Hours after the release of NYT report: San Francisco is moving to change the name of Cesar Chavez Street. Arizona is canceling state observances of Cesar Chavez Day. The United Farm Workers of America, which Chavez co-founded, called off its Chavez birthday celebration.
