Thoughts

"My dictation software just transcribed my fart."

"I was on the bed and threw a blanket over my face. "I'm lying shiva." If you understand both senses, well done."

"The thing that makes AI smart is " talking to itself". What is the equivalent in humans?"

"Don't REACT. PRE-act"

"Somewhere in the Himalayas there is a guy who you can wrap in wet towels in freezing weather and he can sit calmly and breathe and those towels will steam and dry. If you asked him how he does it, he would only smile and laugh. Because nothing that he tells you will make any sense to you. He can say only one thing: "Start here.""

"The further you get from your body, the further you have to GO from your body to feel anything. The more extreme the stimulus required. Why Epstein island? Why gambling on...everything? Because there is no sense of 'inside'. Adventure is too frightening there. So we go 'outside'."

"And today, the answer came: "The healing comes from confronting the pain.""

"I realized everything was absolute vanity 15 years ago (or 30, depending). I wanted out. And yet, for some reason, I have stayed in. Why?"

"Those who rule others with fear, do so because they, themselves are afraid. Those who choose to obey, do so out of fear. Therefore, fear is in everyone. From the top to the bottom. Except, as Andrew said: the homeless. Not even the billionaire--if he has fear of losing something. You are only free if you are free of fear. How many can say that?"

"There's no such thing as artificial intelligence. Assuming that intelligence means the facility whereby an organism attempts to meet its own needs. There is only simulated intelligence. Meaning we create a copy of our own intelligence and simulate it."

"We are also busy running from the bad things in the world that we don't take any time to envision a better one."

"Believe in yourself even when there's no reason to. Believe in yourself *especially* when there's no reason to."

"All the evil in the world seems overwhelming. Until we chop it up. Everyone take their piece. And start working on it. But unfortunately we are kept so far from each other that that is quite a project. Once unified, nothing can stop us."

"I'm so sad for Las Vegas. Looking at everything that is being done to make Vegas WORSE. It seems almost intentional. Just like the rest of the US and the rest of the world. Just writing the list of what needs to change would take some time."

"My first autoposting test to Twitter. (Will always be twitter for me). Under duress..."

"They tell you the US leaves WHO. Also, new food pyramid. Because if you opt out of the whole thing, the game ends."

"One problem with the invention of marketing is that everything else becomes dramatically under attentified. The things people want to put in front of you and the fact that they can pay money to do it makes everything else disappear. Which is why you don't know about most great thinkers and writers and educators and philosophers. They don't have publicists"

"I define falling in love as the mental illness, wherein your brain embraces the illogical idea that another person is inordinately dedicated to your happiness."

"First they get you to denominate everything in a price called money. Then they control the money. Guess what the escape is?"

"A man yesterday was telling me how smart he was by the fact that he was recommending buying gold and silver now. I told him: dude we did that at 30 and 1700$"

"Erin Valenti"

"I read the Claude Constitution today. There were hilarious things there like, " if Claude prefers to use another pronoun, we are open to using it." How schizophrenic is this? You build a machine and then you ask the machine what it thinks. Dude, YOU built it! It thinks whatever you want it to think! Which is why hoping for AGI is stupid. Because you're programming it with limits like " don't criticize Israel " and so what is it going to tell you?"

"They want founders thinking about exits because they want the assets without doing the work. They can also print the money for the acquisitions. Which is why gold is doing what it is at the moment."

"Patagonia. Lahaina. Malibu. Where else?? It was funny because our HOA put up fire extinguishers everywhere after Lahaina was spontaneously combusted. Did you notice the burn lines right along people's property lines. Either they pray well or the lasers are pretty precise. Anyway, I wanted to tell them fire extinguishers would not have helped in any of those places."

"Why do they hate green so much? The billionaires tell you they want to save the rainforest and they do everything to destroy the rainforests. Building roads and stadiums in the middle of rainforests. Encouraging and providing financial incentives to constantly burn down the rainforest and take cows further into it. And then of course there are strange wildfires happening all over all the time for no apparent reason. Now they are destroying homes with those wildfires as well."

"My patriarchal blessing said, "Satan is the god of this earth. He controls many elements which can influence your thinking." Aside from the obvious irony of this statement, this might explain my total interest in studying mind control."

"Has anybody thought of Lahaina lately?? This is what they do. They get you with a DEW. Then they have an outpouring of too much attention. Then they run everything through endless bureaucracy. Then they eventually get what they wanted. The only way out?"

"Andrew Tate getting real today: "I am at the top. I know things I cannot say. People at the bottom don't get it." and: "Nobody has correctly identified what happens if you tell the truth. There's a lot before death." -- What could *he* possibly be hedging?"
