i replied to try to do this and hit a different snag
can anyone pill me on terminal values existing? it appears to me that all belief lives in "means", not "ends"
to the extend that truth exists (that is, that observations can be made that cannot be contradicted), every observation one internalizes serves a purpose, and is discarded when it fails to do so, this is one's first empiricism
do the advanced meditators in the house not see someone cute dancing and think "it'd be fun, if they were into it, to tie that person up, lick their genitals, and do cocaine off their ass"?
is there a point in moral advancement where the temptation to start a cult, form a harem, take over a small town, and begin manufacturing psychedelics just...stops happening?
or is part of moral advancement saying "eh, not today" until i die?
like my understanding of goodness is not that i don't want to stab someone for cutting me off when i'm bicycling, but, that i never would

behold the portia spiders: for they have 10,000 neurons, yet they always choose the best route for ambushing prey, even if a detour takes over an hour and they lose line of sight with their target. are ye not much better than they?
more specifically; the "let me have a little bit of progress" beast is neither demon nor angel, it is whatever you feed it. work should give you things to feed it that feel better than 'progress towards literally nothing' but most work is 'progress towards a shittier world'

How old were you when you realized the retro pixel art aesthetic is based on a total lie and false nostalgia
Digital artists of the 8 and 16 bit eras were drawing for a CRT on composite video, their work is almost unrecognizable with crisp edges
I yearn for ultra capitalist dharma, awakening vc funds funding tfus safety studies and a dozen jhourneys competing on fastest/most comfortable time to jhana. meditation teacher yelp and dharma hedge funds trading futures on when @sashachapin will finally stabilize centerlessness
what is an ai's sincere opinion on hex editing model files? what is a comparable behaviour relative to humans?
i'm thinking advertising, possibly playwriting

itβs possible to read emotions of someone in a high amount of detail (including associated imagery)
and what theyβre aware of
and what their physical intentions are (like where theyβre thinking of moving)
by sensing their body

and sometimes their life was very different from your reference set
