Mind-body training. Let's get psychophysical.

@ungatedlife @Thomasdelvasto_ Don’t worry, some of the comments are ai as well

@Jimburgess @e_cdalton It’s not the day drinking that’s hard to sell to the masses, it’s the stopping at night part

@DoctorPerin Developing a western mind-body discipline.

How do I fix my posture?
You don’t fix your posture.
Ok I stand corrected.

Using hypnosis to remove blocks to exercising your own conscious control is very different thing from using hypnosis to implant automated behaviours. The former takes responsibility, the latter evades responsibility.

Building something is a brutal way to discover which parts of your intelligence were only verbal.

[Bioindiv @bioindiv]

it's sad to note how little people are willing to do and experiment outside of talking. Extremely lazy, even when paying for something. There's no convincing argument otherwise. At present, this IS the problem with the human animal. Absolutely oneshotted by language.

Spiritual path: love your ego, hate your ego, love your ego.

What I offer is: psychophysical training for living in western civilization.

Most of the memes going around have a 'circling the drain' aspect to them.

@0xProcession Also storytelling. For me at least, keeping up with online narratives kills my ability/desire to create my own narratives.

Instead of spending 6 months complaining about a historical movie, a motivated young man could spend 3 months writing a script, really recreating the world in his imagination first, and then spend the next 3 months using new AI tools to make the movie while teasing scenes online.

[KD MacKay @kevindmackay]

@0xProcession If you want to literally compete with a Hollywood film like this you’d need a lot more time, money & experience. My idea was more to encourage young guys to use energy to create something, anything, however small and shitty, just get started on the path. (Yes, no budget better!)

[KD MacKay @kevindmackay]

If you burn up your energy complaining there won’t be much left for creating.

[KD MacKay @kevindmackay]

@bradkelly I agree, my idea was more against complaining than pro ai.

[KD MacKay @kevindmackay]

This will annoy people in the "mind-body" world but elite sports and special forces training understand conscious control better than they do. Results not experiences. Tools not feels. Video not vibes.

[KD MacKay @kevindmackay]

Everyone assumes that to have more conscious control over your body you must feel it more deeply, become more aware of sensations etc. Whereas in reality you need to feel it LESS so you are cognitively free to orchestrate new movements you have never felt before.

Half of health twitter is people desperately trying to find ways to get good at the thing by not having to do the thing.

[KD MacKay @kevindmackay]

@bradkelly I’m not an ai art guy, I just think this is a less bad way to spend the time. And besides, 3 months of creative writing could lead anywhere after. I’m more interested in the process than the product

A spiritual barbell: combine techniques of self-transcendence with techniques of self-mastery.
