happy new year and all of that.

treat yourself to some sesame paste if you never head any. i regret learning about this so late, i can't help but want to warn others on not missing out on this goodness. it is just one ingredient crushed industrially into paste: sesame seeds.

when you buy it in the store it is separated and the separation is strong. when you stick a spoon in and try to stir, the bottom is so strong that the spoon can not stir. and you have to shake it and keep it in a shook state.

the sesame paste hides behind a bit of effort but the reward is worth the extra work.

the taste is amazing. mild and nutty. the nice thing about this is that it has a high fat content but it is not as impossible to digest as oil is. it still has it's fiber.

i use this to make sauces without oil. i just put tomatos and herbs into a blender and then i add a few tablespoons of this stuff and it turns into a nice creamy sauce but a sauce that the human organism has the chance to actually digest reasonably.

this stuff is so good, i wonder why it is not sold in regular supermarkets, i bother to go to the muslim markets just to get this goodness.

>I use butter but I'm thinking of using avocado oil instead

i'd be way more concerned about what you eat the butter and oil with. if it is bread or noodles or meat then whatever minor benefit you get from upgrading oil i don't expect to make a noticable difference for you.

unless you put a bit of oil into dressings and raw sauces you should never use oil for anything. frying stuff in oil is the worst, people do it so much. just cooking stuff gently already ruins the food. frying is way worse then cooking. baking is also awful.

if you insist on killing your food then steam it. it is super easy and the food not drying and remaining naturally moist is the least evil of all the methods. i stopped eating cooked food, mouth-pleasure is nothing compared to running your biological machine on the intended fuel. cooked food is a nightmare to digest as is proven by how hard the dishes are to clean.

all the stuff i eat i can basically just rinse off with water if i am lazy because it is so clean.

Thesis:

Engagement with structurally advanced texts and excellent rhetoric trains and temporarily optimises the mind into recurring modes of organization, attention, abstraction, and inference; repeated exposure can temporarily or semi-durably bias cognition toward those modes independently of propositional content.

Or in simpler terms, in the same way that algebra & calculus trains the mind towards logical and methodical thought in the long term, I believe it's possible for works of illustration, music and literature to do so in the short term. If this is true, then it's advantageous to catalogue such art-efacts and optimise exposure to them.

I'm not talking about the first order; "no duh, I read something that told/reminded me of facts and now they're at the front of my attention" or involuntary emotional responses, I'm talking about the temporary mental structure. Meditation or such like, if it works, seems to work by selecting for facts and details, voluntarily emphasising inputs to get desired outputs. It should notionally be possible then, to exercise the mind in such a way that one or more patterns of thought and emphasis can be either cold stored, or reliably reconstructed with inputs on demand. I think genius lies in being able to do this at will and not rely on outside props, but i'm not a genius.

The inspiration for this idea came from reading Robert Carlyle in the morning and consequently having a very organised and effective day at work, but I've noticed it much earlier in the second and third novel of Kai Lung. In the later case, the pleasant but none-the-less non-trivial effort of very complex English usually leaves me in a "well spoken" state for quite some time. I originally put this down to simple mimicry but perhaps there's more to it.

Thoughts? Examples of useful material?

If this is true, consider the darker side - that it's possible to artificially construct and reinforce dysfunctional frames of mind, not just overloading the memory and attention with noise and conflict, but actually implant a structure of thought - at scale. If this was so, how well does it explain modernity.

i don't know, it's difficult. if you're scared of people, you need experiences of safety. if you feel inferior, you need experiences of being enough. when you're stuck in a particular perceptual frame, you need knowledge of a different frame that serves as an antidote. if you just go outside and seek it out, you might never find it, because it has to be a very specific experience, the world is chaotic and unpredictable, and most likely you'll just collect more trauma. but also, conjuring it up from nothing through meditation is also difficult, because you don't know what you don't know, like imagining the taste of chocolate if you've never had chocolate. i did it somehow, before i messed around with tulpamancy, i didn't understand love on an experiential level, it was just missing from my perceptual field completely. now that i have knowledge of that particular frame and i can access it whenever i want and it seems to trigger real neurochemical processes i.e. i can trigger oxytocin purely by imagining cuddling with my tulpa.

>>228616
you could probably find it through the wayback machine archive. the whole thing is a blur to me, i remember writing about this perception stuff in a bunch of different threads. the thread you remember was probably years later, i vaguely remember some guy talking about how he pretends he's a warrior or something to get into the mindset to exercise.

what does your body 'think' about you?
>about your management of your personal human organism.
>about your decisions on what to put in it, or on it.
>about where you take it and when and how often.
>about how you use it

i reject the normoid idea that the body can not think or have an opinion. electricity flows into every cell, not just the bracrabls. life and emotion are all over the body except for in those people who believe their body is just a machine used to park the brain in front of screens.

i do think the body is it's own thing and ideally it is in a mutual loving relationship with the brain. i guess many group-minded people who know nothing but war will have a hostile relationship between body and brain.

i take good care of my body and i love it. it has been so good to me and i always give it enough sleep and put good food in and exercise it and then when i am doing something, it is so accomodating, supportive and helpful. i can not help but suspect it knows me and happily helps me through life. i am fully aware that this is not most people's experience. but it could be most people's experience.

the body has it's own path too and if a brain can understand the path the body tries to walk, decisions can be made to help the body along which then lead to benefits for the entire organism.

i guess i am trying to say the potential for harmony within the organism exists despite so few people stumbling upon it. i guess the obstacle in reaching this state is the corruption process that seeks to consume everyone. those who can see the corruption in others have an easier time dodging it.

a body who is in the habit of always improving and learning can not help but look good, sooner or later the good look is achieved and what most people consider aging is in large parts user error; being an amateur in handling the human organism, being seduced by convenience, associating with bad-faith people, serve people who hate you, unconsciously going along with expectation to engage in self-destruction.

how come your body even knows what beer is. you must have given alcohol to it a lot for it to get used to it. i did this when i was young but i soon realized the drinker's fate and wanted to stay away from it.

you have let yourself be trained to enjoy your own decay, that's what it looks like to me from afar.

>It thinks it should die

same with you as with the poster before, i don't even believe that's your body. what i consider more likely is that's your brain pretending it can speak for the body and i am not convinced that it can.

what if the body tries to communicate through love but you don't have a brain that understands love and the brain just tells the body what to do. permanent emergency but not a loving relationship between body and mind.

>i reject the normoid idea that the body can not think or have an opinion
Organisms without a brain do not really seem conscious to me. I don't think plants, fungi, invertebrates think or have opinions. Further animals with consciousness like cats, while they have consciousness are not intelligent and don't have any more complex thinking than "in this place I can find food" or "I like this human".
Your post reminds me of this untrue belief plants and flowers can feel things and are self-aware, while any significant consciousness starts at animals with a small brain like mice and birds.

I think what goes wrong here you are simply able to feel your body with your central nervous system, and somehow you anthropomorphise these sensations in a person which is not you, while you are simply feeling pain or pleasure, illness or health

i disagree twice with this.
1)trying to walk something off as a general attempt to self-healing might usually be in the top 5 ideas on what to try to make it better so what are you teacher's pet even talking about. you using your walking ability is the river that the city of your body was built next to.
2)what if there are ways to easily improve things, how will you behave? will you cross your arms and make mean faces insisting that this can not be possible like you always do? or will you be humble and give each reasonable idea it's fair chance to make sense. because otherwise when you say YOU ARE NOT GOING TO, how could you even know that if you display such arrogance and stupidity. there could be something you don't know about.

i've seen a few wizards who don't seem healthy.

is too bad because being healthy is easy once you know what matters.
the practice of being healthy i have reduced to managing of habits:

you constantly manage your habits. you find out what they are by doing the opposite of being in autopilot. manual flight. then you imagine the long term consequences of each habit. then you decide if you want those, the development of a desired state. keep the desirable habits, reduce all those you don't want through constant attention on your habits.

as you do this you might stumble upon ways to improve upon the desirable habits. this is almost already doing the next thing, which is finding good new habits to practice and slowly wondering when you have time to do them.

it is up to you to be healthy, it is an option, you can make this happen if you so choose. health is one choice away.

Does anyone here struggle with alcohol, or have managed to quit?

It used to be a good coping mechanism for me, but it seems the older I've gotten the worse it feels, and it's become detrimental to my health and the way I behave around people. Easily annoyed, constantly starting shit, tired all the time, strange pains. And I was still getting worse, fast.

This has been a wake-up call and I'm realizing I need to quit before it's too late. Though that's easy for me to say now when I'm still feeling bad, and I fear the cravings will come back strong, but I know I've got to try.

Curious to hear others experience with this.

Greedy subhumans is one thing, but another is normies on the rat race. As long as they keep competing for pussy, life will be shit for wageslaves. Maybe the crabs will collectively throw in the towel and give up on the hustle and grind. Life would be so much calmer and easier if normies stopped trying to outstatus one another.

why do they make you suffer, is it because they insult your hair? probably.

how often did he do it. there is no need to become one of the people who when they try something and they like it, they make it their everything and build an identity around it.

you know you can smoke a tiny doobert smaller then a cigarette once a month, sit on your bed and meditate or walk through nature and not have it negatively impact you.

if you do it more often then once a month i wouldn't smoke it because the smoke is horrible for your health even if you inhale through a filter with the utmost care and gentleness. (i tried). rather bake some weed in the oven gently and then gently simmer it inside a pan of coconut oil for 3 hours so you can just eat a spoon of the oil instead of smoking it.

Smoking weed, daily, is very bad for you, now if you smoke ocasionally there isn't much problem. Point is: avoid becoming a pot head because makes you literally retarded on the long run.

The voices are extremely unpleasant and I already hallucinate stuff sometimes. It's well known among schizophrenics weed makes this dramatically worse.

There's no convincing evidence showing a casual relationship between weed and long term IQ/cognitive decline. If you use weed heavily you'll be slower but it reverses with abstinence, similar to getting rest after chronic sleep deprivation. Studies showing IQ loss are confounded by those who use weed also being more likely to be cognitively impaired or low SES to begin with.

i can't even do wallpaper anymore, i just set it to a solid color. either a gray or a deep blue. besides these days i have my entire desktop covered in widgets. some hold my shorcuts to programs, others just visualize heat or show system percentages. i did like the combination of gray and colors when i was younger.

if you have an unused singleboard computer laying around, treat yourself and install a text based linux (like diet-pi) without desktop environment on it and see if you can find your way around. i should have done this back when i started with linux.

You can't use Debian-based distros on a lot of ancient laptops anymore with them having dropped i686, this was really bad for retro tech. Well atleast you can still use the Thinkpad T60.

i'm not saying switch to a text-based distro, i'm saying once you stepped into the arena (on a virtual machine or on a spare laptop for example) you will be glad you did it. because once you felt how nice text-based is you can cherry pick situations on which to choose text over graphics. i wish i did this sooner, don't repeat my mistake is what i am trying to say. text-based is awesome i regret staying so long on graphical. graphics are bloat!

It comes to my mind very often how evilness surrounds everything, from your own body being rotten and painful to the average politician being cruel and unhinged.
I can really assume we live in a hell realm, people are so used to suffering that atrocious and disgusting news such as murder or car accidents are deemed normal.
We're born without knowing why in a world we did not create and we must obey rules we did not decide, there is really no point in counsciousness when existence is like this unless it was conceived by evil forces for evil purposes.
So my conclusion is that we live inside a reality of pure evil, no chaotic, no orderly, just pure evil without any sense, like hitting your head until you die.

Everything revolves around balance. Evil is just another useless concept that doesn't work without there being good. Maybe existence is just there because some bored Gods wanted to demonstrate each other what these formal concepts look like in full colour and how limited conscious beings behave when they are given the option between good and evil.

Here is a list of what I call torture that is commonly suffered on earth:

Hunger and thirst -> the most common form of torment in nature and the major cause of death among animals
Temperature -> from being burned alive to frozen to death I call this the seasonal torture
Violence -> millions of animals are slaughtered every day, among humans every 30 seconds a violent crime happens
Disease -> pain, suffocation, nausea, dizziness, itching, spasms, pressure, discomfort, cramps, paralysis, clots, dysfunction, infections, cancer, etc…
Psychological torment -> anxiety, depression, psychosis, existential dread, trauma, etc…
Fatigue and coercion -> being tired and exhausted, forced slavery, enduring prison or psychiatrization
Emotional trauma -> being scolded, abandoned, abused, bullied, etc…
Nature -> insects biting you, animals devouring you, losing your home from a disaster, storms, earthquake, eruptions
Threat from outer space -> asteroids, aliens, intergalactic events, etc…
Laws -> many laws may prevent you from getting relief such as a home for the homeless, or opioids for the suffering ones

"Let Us Beat Swords Into Ploughshares is a bronze sculpture by artist Evgeniy Vuchetich (1908 ¬– 1974). Vuchetich was an esteemed Soviet sculptor and artist well-known for his heroic monuments. In 1959, he was given the “People’s Artist of the USSR” award.
The sculpture depicts the figure of a man, holding a hammer aloft in one hand and a sword in the other hand, hammering the sword into a ploughshare, a tool to till land for crops. This action symbolizes man’s desire to put an end to war and transform tools of destruction into tools to benefit mankind.
The Book of Isaiah contains the following passage: "They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
The sculpture was gifted to the United Nations by the USSR on December 4th, 1959. It was presented on behalf of the Soviet Delegation by Vassily V. Kuznetsov, First Deputy Foreign Minister of the USSR, to Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold who accepted the sculpture on behalf of the United Nations."

>To me jesus was a human that supersticious humans divinized and make a too magical history to turn his life more epic
Ironic. To me the biggest reason why I can't be Christian despite wanting to be religious all my life is the opposite.
It's not fantastical enough for me.
Jesus and all bible stories read like down to earth tribal history mixed with some slight fantasy.
At best it's some tall tale told by a village elder in a way to pass on some wisdom to the masses, at worst it's just some story about a handful of villagers/tribesmen doing mundane crap slightly exaggerated.


Too many real things in it that can be mapped onto things we experience in real life so you know by instinct what parts might or might not be bullshit.
Too many historical claims or truth/fact claims that can be proven false or at least attacked.
To me something like tao/daoism depicted in Chinese fantasy novels is a more believable/acceptable religion because they are so far removed from our own realm and reality.

I really don't understand why or how it spread so far and wide and how people can willingly subject themselves. Perhaps surface level aesthetics and a lack of curiosity to dwell deeper. Idk.
Most Christians don't know much aside from what was fed to them by curators of their denomination it seems. Not that I blame them, to most normies it's just another thing to do with the group like painting eggs for the easter bunny.
It's still crazy to me that so many people venerate those that aren't even remotely their kin.
My country was converted to get a dude crowned 1000 years ago and now it's a great part of "our" identity somehow. Crazy stuff.

To be fair I'd buy into it based on aesthetics alone if it was more fantastical/philosophical without the history part so I can't really blame anyone else.

How do you genuinely just stop caring about everything shitty in your life? I just want to become numb to it all. People always say you shouldn't, but whenever I let myself feel any small amount of happiness the feeling of sadness/depression that I'll inevitably feel later is so painful it makes me wish I just didn't feel anything at all in the first place. Meditation has gotten close to this and I like the peace it gives me but I wish I felt that peace all the time.

The best way to stop caring is to no longer be able to care because of fatigue, either physical or mental fatigue.

U should look for a very tiring activity, repetitive and intellectually undemanding.

Also try to avoid any brain exciting product like sugar or coffee, or loud content on the internet.

Redditors are anti-human. Their speech is akin to corpo babble, their draconian rules would make the most ruthless dictator on Earth flatter, their mannerisms are passive-aggressive and very feminine in nature. Reddit is like a mix of the HR team from a Silicon Valley company, the most rabid antifa member, an army of socially awkward unhinged manchildren and all the Cluster B succubi in the world.

It’s funny how they act both like a hivemind but also like mindless drones, as if they lacked any semblance of individuality. If you strive just slightly from the norm, you will get downvoted, your post removed and (if you’re lucky) they will ban your account, freeing you from the hassle of interacting with the site. The karma system only serves the purpose of silencing dissidence and rewarding virtue signaling. Like a contest to see who loves mainstream western narratives the most.

What Reddit ultimately reveals is a social pathology created by its own architecture. The platform incentivizes conformity over thought, performance over sincerity, and compliance over conviction. Expression is filtered through an ever-present fear of sanction. Under those conditions, users learn quickly that it is safer to repeat approved thoughts than to think for themselves. The result is a population trained to self-censor and to police one another, lest they offend advertisers.

This is why discourse on Reddit feels less like conversation and more like corporate risk management. Opinions are hedged, emotions are pre-approved, and disagreement is framed as harm. People don’t argue to discover truth but to demonstrate moral alignment. The karma system functions as a behavioral reinforcement loop, rewarding consensus and punishing deviation, until originality itself becomes a bannable offense.

In that sense, Reddit is less a forum and more a training ground for a particular kind of personality, as I described above. The passive-aggressive, feminine nerd who’s more invested in appearing correct rather than being honest, that’s the most common type of user on the platform. It is not surprising that the website feels exhausting to anyone with blood running through their veins and, I will be honest here, anyone with a soul. The system is hostile to actual human beings. It’s no surprise the web is filled to the brim with bots and shills. I’m sure that, except for the small minority of redditors with a pinch of self awareness, most users wouldn’t be aPost too long.

In the end, it is their website. The real cancer is government/glowies propping up these shitholes and attacking any free platform or competitor. Why should we pay taxes for this bullshit? And then they have the nerve to claim we have free speech because you aren't locked up immediately if you criticise the system. These corpos sometimes themselves buy out competition and do these scummy cartel practices. Imagine the internet if the spirit of 19th century entrepeneurism and free markets was alive, this brought us civilisation as we know it

Redditors are worse than war criminals

The thought came to me the other day. At least those who commit atrocities in combat have some justification, ie war is hell and survival means corruption of morals. But redditors have no justification for their total commitment to midwittery, atheism, degeneracy, leftism in all forms, and clueless pseudo-intellectualism.

So, redditors are worse than war criminals. The thesis is confirmed.

I'm curious what the covid-19 vaccination rate is like among wizards.

Personally, I was the only one in my immediate and extended family to not get the vaccine or boosters. No doubt influenced by the normie propaganda, I faced a lot of harassement and pressure from my mother.

Knowing my family, I would also probably have been uninvited from family gathering for not having the vaccine but since I stopped seeing them 2 decades ago, it was a moot point.

This is really cool! Not what I was expecting at all. Pretty much all of the amateur music I hear on the internet (which is mostly from SoundCloud to be honest) is largely 'electronic' music and hip hop–and it all just fits into…it 'sounds' like it's from SoundCloud. You can tell, in a way. Your first track is much more wizardly! More like something from an old RPG or visual novel. Huh, and your second track is quite different; even this sounds so much more original compared to the things I get on SC (much as I still enjoy my juke and hyperflip etc) which feel like everyone influences each other too much in that little ecosystem. Do you have more music hosted anywhere?

The advice I realised at some point, and that you will see other people give, is that your choice in DAW isn't actually that important/as important as you think. Ultimately they all allow you to do similar things and it's really about you, your skills and how you use them: a skilled producer can make something amazing with the shittiest piece of software. If you're leaning towards LMMS, go for it! Once you're more experienced then you'll know if you want to try something else and your actual music knowledge you've gained can be carried through to anything, you might just have to learn how to apply it a bit differently again.

Not the fella you're replying to but I don't think the brain can be boiled down to something as "simple" as a computer. I know this sounds woo-woo but my feeling is that the brain, like everything else in nature, has a lot of intuitive wisdom built into it. A computer is designed with a purpose within the limited mental constraints of its designers. There is a vastness, depth and interconnected-ness to things that emerge from natural evolutionary processes that simply do not map onto things made by humans. Perhaps the reason it is hard for us to pin down what "consciousness" is or "where that elusive I is located in the brain" is because we lack the language to even describe these sorts of things because we always get bogged down trying to dissect everything into atomic units.

>i just want to kill myself
That statement needs to be questioned because it's pretentious and presumptuous. Hence philosophy.

Now I'm with you as a pretentious and presumptuous person myself. I think it's obvious that nature and society are based on principles that guarantee suffering and I think it's obvious that any attempt to change yourself and others can never be more than marginal, temporary and superficial. Non-philosophically speaking: it was over before it began. Life sucks and will never get better unless you're a delusional npc.

Now if that's the case, it seems reasonable to assume that there is a force making it so. Do you believe you can defy that force by ending the body? Perhaps you can because that force selects those who are willing to put up it with it. That's the irony of the antinatalist desire: soon countless single men and countless single succubi are going to die without children and the world will go on with an ever increasing number of delusional npc's. Say rope-chan, do you like that thought?

An infinite time of non conciousness doesn't feel like either infinite nor no time at all. It doesn't feel like anything because you do not exist whether it be from death or not being born. The non-existence from death is not the same as the non-existence from not yet being born. You were not "pulled out" of a death-state because you did not exist before birth. Your only plane of existence before birth is in the future, that you are "to be". But there's not yet a you. In order to say that we end up where we started you would need to say we started existing before we were born. I'm really not convinced that we exist in an infinite state of life OR death before birth.
