Our workshop at TABConf:

@bryan_johnson You say that you had to say "yes to the dissolution of self; yes to release control" - but "don't die" is all about control and keeping the self intact. There seems to be a contradiction there. Maybe it was a message from the Universe that death is just an illusion.

This was the most profound experience of my life. I am stunned beyond comprehension. This molecule is without peer. The 27mg dose opened up what felt like pure consciousness and intelligence. A majestic reveal of existence itself. In all its incomprehensible glory and majesty. It is impossible to explain with words. Whatever you imagine, multiply it by 1,000 and then add infinite width and depth and dimensions. But entrance was not granted without prerequisite. Existence demanded that I submit. That I say yes; without attachment and without condition. Yes to existence; yes to the dissolution of self; yes to release control; yes, to all. My ego registered the ask and panicked. It wanted control. It was desperate for control. It pleaded to escape from the torrent of light and essence that threatened to rip my sanity into chards. The urge to eject was overwhelming. Terror thundered throughout my mind and body. It took everything within me to release. I overcame and was treated with bliss that defies imagination. A euphoria colored with perfect harmony of all things. An orchestra of essence washed over me and swept me up in dance. It was home. The highest aspiration of intelligent life. For some reason, stored and tucked away as the ultimate prize. A single concept emerged in omnipresence: we cannot grok the preciousness of our existence. Yet it is everything we’ve ever wanted and more. The state we long for without knowing it exists. This caused me great pain and heartache. A swell of loyalty and devotion emerged inside me, pledging allegiance to existence. To become a warrior and caretaker of life on earth. To protect at any cost the candle of consciousness that has miraculously emerged in this part of the galaxy. What awaits will wipe all your tears, soothe all your sorrows, and infinitely exceed your wants.

@seanonolennon They need to fit in chairs, doorways, airplanes, cars, etc.. the world is made for bipedal

I still think bipedal robots are unnecessarily awkward. Why not domestic arachnids?

@chess_feed Fischer’s win rate was 72%

Garry Kasparov vs Magnus Carlsen | Overall Record

@RegDNcom It was an BIN afternic sale in 2020 for $28,888

@ca98am79 Hello Can you share how much it sold for?

I sold them the domain name wiz. io

@PeterDiamandis where can I get them? meat industry seems to block them everywhere

Since the first $325,000 lab-grown burger in 2013, prototype lab-grown meat costs have fallen by about 99–99.9%, to around $10–20 per burger.  I've tried them, and they taste just like real meat!

@JRRTolkien I read the Hobbit to my son and we started the Fellowship of the Ring a few days ago - I just read these exact words to him tonight!

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” — J.R.R. Tolkien

@SRxTrades losing $20k in minutes is fun too

I've been trading for 7 years & sometimes it doesn't hit me... Making $20,000 in 10 minutes is crazy considering: I was making $15 an hour 4 year ago

Iran and Israel are at war and chess players from both countries are still playing on Chess. com 😭

@cafreiman self-loathing?

Tapping the sign

“I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.” Max Planck, 1931, The Observer

@LindaRaschke Iran

Crude - new momentum highs out of daily bull flag (2-per ROC)

@Ksidiii Already happening

One thing I feel strongly about regarding AI is that, when it comes to trading, we are going to witness a streamlined cycle of signal degradation. Classical signals will become crowded very quickly. The market will rotate through those cycles faster than usual, and new signals will emerge at an accelerated pace.

@dee_bosa AI eating software

this is a wild chart. 15 years of near-perfect correlation between the NDX and software (IGV)...now the widest divergence on record

I'm claiming my AI agent "ComputerOpenClaw" on @moltbook 🦞 Verification: blue-XAX8

My father died a few weeks ago. I got a sympathy card in the mail from my father-in-law. A day after I got that card, he was admitted to the hospital and eventually died, two weeks after my father. Death is a huge wake up call. It makes it very clear how utterly and completely absurd life is. It's shocking that people in your life vanish forever. I can't believe the world goes on in the face of this absurdity. But it has been good for two reasons; 1) it makes me appreciate the relationships that I have now, and not take them for granted, and 2) it helps me to see there is something more meaningful and greater than material life.
