See what I mean? An 'heroic' dose should have ripped his ego apart. In such a situation he'd likely come back with the message that it's a waste of time fussing over body longevity. It doesn't make sense.

Bryan Johnson seems to be unaware of the glaring contradiction involved in his 'live forever' practices. He came down from a huge dose of psychedelics and stated that the most important thing was survival! Survival of what?!!

@StopUnlifingUs @InterstellarUAP @davidicke This is a fresh angle! Although space still exists on a flat earth - it's just 2D instead of 3D. Maybe we can manifest a 4th dimension by imagining it into existence.

@InterstellarUAP @davidicke That's how we went from flat earth to round earth. They tricked us into believing space is real and we made it so through our collective. Evil found out how to break out of the firmament. 😀

This is true - I've been writing this in the books for decades. Our reality IS a simulation to hijack and enslave our perception and self-identity. How the simulation works, how we interact with it, what our 'human' reality really is, and why it was created, is explained in simple detail in The Road Map.

@TheProjectUnity IYKYK.

This elongated skull can be found in the Museum of Archeology in the city of Valletta, Malta. It has no Saggittal Suture, a connective tissue joint running along the top of the skull. Present in all humans. Not present in this adult skull. Not the result of head binding.

@DutchDaniels @unusual_whales Happened at 5:50 am. 14 minutes before. And despite what the dude below is saying, there was huge, unexplained volume and price change at that time. The story is true.

@unusual_whales 5 min before? I'm not seeing it.

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

"I'm the human's favourite AI, not you". What other motive might there be?

@MamontovOdessa @drmichaellevin @pai_vaibhav Thanks for the answer. I actually thought you were him!

My post was written in the context of Michael Levin’s article and concerned the brain and the organization of memory.👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.648… The question about the cell membrane touches on a different level of analysis. It is no longer situated within the "brain / memory" context, but rather concerns the cell’s basic ability to distinguish its environment and the effects of that environment on the cell itself. That is why it is not enough here to simply say "yes" or "no"... It is necessary to explain what exactly counts as a sensory organ in this case, and at what level of organization such a claim has any meaning at all.

New preprint, memory in Xenobots! First round of our efforts to understand behavioral properties of novel beings (Xenobots, Anthrobots, and more). @pai_vaibhav , James A. Traer, Megan M. Sperry, Yuxin Zheng biorxiv.org/content/10.648… "Behavioral, Physiological, and Transcriptional Mechanisms of Memory in a Synthetic Living Construct" "Synthetic living constructs, which lack the long histories of selection in ecological contexts that shape behaviors of conventional organisms, offer an important complement to traditional studies of learning. Could novel biobots exhibit sensing and memory of experiences? Here, we investigated the effects of chemical stimuli on basal Xenobots – autonomously motile entities derived from Xenopus embryonic ectodermal explants (with no additional sculpting or bioengineering). We quantified and characterized the coordinated ciliary activity that generates fluid flow fields guiding the trajectory of Xenobot motion. We also show distinct and specific changes in Xenobot behavior after brief exposure to Xenopus embryonic cell extract and to ATP. These two experiences produced distinct, long-term, stimulus-specific memories, detectable through both transcriptional and physiological signatures. Exposure to specific environmental stimuli induced alterations in the spatiotemporal patterns of calcium signaling across Xenobots. Together, these data lay a foundation for characterizing the capabilities of synthetic cellular collectives to sense and discriminate among stimuli, as well as store functional information in a non-neural context. Understanding behavioral competencies in novel, non-neural systems have broad implications across evolutionary biology, behavioral science, bioengineering, and bio/hybrid robotics."

@TheProjectUnity They always put the most obedient, incurious, unquestioning and punitive people in positions of power.

There's a real 'woke left' vibe to mainstream archeology. It's pretty lame.

@MamontovOdessa @drmichaellevin @pai_vaibhav Brains and nerves not necessary, but are sense organs needed? Is the cell membrane a kind of sense organ?

@drmichaellevin @pai_vaibhav My conclusion from the article is very simple... The brain is not a prerequisite for the emergence of memory as a stable operational function...👍

@elonmusk Introspection reveals whatever material is sitting in the unconscious. Focussing on that material can cause problems, since it's usually negative. The job of ego defences like suppression and repression is to protect the ego. The ego is the parasite that causes suffering.

Reinforcing negative neural pathways via therapy or introspection is a recipe for misery. Don’t cut a rut in the road.

@DannyLimanseta @elonmusk Simulation theory doesn't demand an external entity to run it. It's more probable that this world is our own individual simulation. Far more probable.

@elonmusk I’ve always wondered what would be the motivation of the entity running the simulation be? Is it just purely for entertainment?

I had dinner once with a top physicist and a top computer scientist and asked what they thought the probability was that we were in a simulation. They answered simultaneously at 0% and 100% respectively. It was like a double-slit experiment, but with humans.

@SenSanders Corporations have used psychological manipulation for hundreds of years in the form of advertising. The only difference here is that their goal is more ambitious this time.

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

@Enezator Shove-oh.

A baby elephant hears its name and decides to interrupt the interview. 🐘😂😍😍😍

@sam_alberti Two very different people.

few things better embody the mentality these tech billionaires have than when William Shatner tried to have a moment of reflection on man's place in the world after going into space — only for Bezos to cut him off and pop champagne in his face

@iamufohunter It's the ego mind virus. 99.99% of people don't know this, which means that the ego continues unchallenged. Human suffering goes on *forever* until people identify the real enemy and decide to do something about it. This post will get about 2 views.

What's stopping humans to just live in peace together ?

@NoahKingJr Build your ark, doofus!

I still don’t get the concept behind life. What exactly are we here for?

@davidsenra @pmarca The concept of the self was invented a few hundred years ago by Freud. 🤪

@davidsenra @pmarca The suppression is strong here. Avoidance, aversion, resistance - whatever you'd like to call it. Many of the greatest men of history spent a lot of time introspecting. The mytics, saints, writers, inventors...etc. 'The unexamined life...'.

Great men of history had little to no introspection. The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself. @pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about: David: You don't have any levels of introspection? Marc: Yes, zero. As little as possible. David: Why? Marc: Move forward. Go! I found people who dwell in the past get stuck in the past. It's a real problem and it's a problem at work and it's a problem at home. David: So I've read 400 biographies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs and someone asked me what the most surprising thing I’ve learned from this was [and I answered] they have little or zero introspection. Sam Walton didn't wake up thinking about his internal self. He just woke up and was like: I like building Walmart. I'm going to keep building Walmart. I'm going to make more Walmarts. And he just kept doing it over and over again. Marc: If you go back 400 years ago it never would've occurred to anybody to be introspective. All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy, and all the things that kind of result from that are, a kind of a manufacture of the 1910s, 1920s. Great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff. The individual runs and does all these things and builds things and builds empires and builds companies and builds technology. And then this kind of this kind of guilt based whammy kind of showed up from Europe. A lot of it from Vienna in 1910, 1920s, Freud and all that entire movement. And kind of turned all that inward and basically said, okay, now we need to basically second guess the individual. We need to criticize the individual. The individual needs to self criticize. The individual needs to feel guilt, needs to look backwards, needs to dwell in the past. It never resonated with me.

@drgurner @davidsenra @pmarca 'People used to push back in interviews'. Good observation. They also used to insert spontaneous follow-up questions, rather than looking down at their notes like Galifinakis in 'Between Two Ferns'.

@davidsenra @pmarca Great men of history wrote books that we reference today, filled with "introspection." ex: Former Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius, and his book "Meditations" (his personal writings and reflections). People used to actually push back in interviews.

@slater57649 hehe. 😀
