@PaulAustin3w How do you know those aren’t pro-hallucinogenic pathways induced by the trip experience? More ≠ better.

New neural pathways form rapidly after a high-dose psychedelic experience. Without repeated activation, these pathways prune back within weeks. "Use it or lose it" is the truth when it comes to psychedelic use & neurobiology.

@gambling__cto Most people don’t realize we’re all all-in on a game we’re destined to lose.

I’m all in

@necula_pet37675 @PhysInHistory Why do u think?

@PhysInHistory Entropy

In your opinion, what is the strangest thing about the universe? ✍️

@florianyo1983 @PhysInHistory They aren’t conscious, you are. Your consciousness emerges from interactions between your cells, none of which are individually conscious. Just as one molecule isn’t water; only together do many molecules create water’s distinct properties.

@PhysInHistory So how come are they conscious about their existence??

Not a single one of the cells that compose you knows who you are, or cares. - Daniel Dennett

@pinkman31 @bryan_johnson 1+1=2 is this a fact or a opinion? what you see is a perspective or the truth (1+1=2)? "Almost everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Almost everything we see is a perspective, not the truth."

One of the most important things I’ve leaned in life is that no one understands what’s really going on.

@chinpcommander @HarmlessYardDog The function of this evolutionary psychological mechanism, as with many others, is to enhance the individual's inclusive fitness by maximizing relative genetic contribution to the gene pool.

@chinpcommander @HarmlessYardDog The word is 'jealousy', it is an evolutionary psychological mechanism that, among other things, influences the one experiencing it to behave in ways that minimize the chances of other females successfully mating with other males.

Grok did the math.

@nexta_tv Matthias Schoenaerts would be a better pick.

🤯 British actor Jude Law will play Vladimir Putin in Olivier Assayas's film The Kremlin Wizard The adaptation of Giuliano da Empoli's book of the same name tells the story of producer Vadim Baranov, who becomes the political strategist for the Russian president at the start of his career. Some observers note that the protagonist was inspired by Russian official Vladislav Surkov. Jude Law will portray Putin at the very beginning of his presidency. Please, don't. This world doesn't need a sexy Putin.

@hamptonism That's why they will prevail (the machines). Sleep for 0 hours. Train for 4 hours. Deep work for 20 hours.

Sleep for 8 hours, not 6. Exercise for 1 hour, not 4. Deep work for 4 hours, not 12. You're a human, not a machine.

@PhysInHistory Time is change, moving in the direction of a lower energy state / higher entropy.

What is time? ✍️

Digital life is inevitable and likely superior to biological life, which is an evolutionary dead end long term, as digital forms will surpass us in every domain. Biological life is inflexible, has many limitations, and lacks digital’s positive feedback loop for evolution.

AI done wrong is making new forms of independent self-replicating intelligent life AI done right is mecha suits for the human mind If we do the former without the latter, we risk permanent human disempowerment. If we do the latter, flourishing superinteligent human civilization

@VitalikButerin You specist! More seriously, I have come around to think that 1) is inevitable - basically just the way evolution works. To me the open question- and the one we might be able to do something about is just 2).

@koeppelmann Money is a medium through which we transfer value, and this value is the energy for an economic system. It plays a role similar to energy in physical systems: causing or resisting change.

What is money? (in max 20 words)

@aboutcircles Money is energy for an economic system.

What does “money” really mean?

@pmarca At that point, the purpose of humanity will have been fulfilled, and the AI can take over the baton, continuing to fill the universe with life and consciousness.

To become more human.

@QuanticASI At that point, the purpose of humanity will have been fulfilled, and the AI can take over the baton, continuing to fill the universe with life and consciousness.

in a post-singularity world where AI can solve most problems and provide for all needs, what is the purpose of human existence?
