@ThinkingBone If nothing comes to mind, turn your attention to a quality you like about yourself. Is there an ability or strength within yourself you can recognize? If still nothing comes to mind, reflect on the primal urge toward happiness within you, and the rightness and beauty of that.

[Adam @dogiveadam]

@ThinkingBone Call to mind something you have done or said that you feel was a kind or good action—a time you were generous, or caring, or contributed to someone’s well-being. If something comes to mind, allow the happiness that may come with the remembrance.

@ThinkingBone The following exercise from Sharon Salzbergs book 'lovingkindness' has been very helpful for me learning to feel worthy of metta. Ill give an abridged version that contains the gist:

@insidverse Found the bug

[Adam @dogiveadam]

@chercher_ai That’s interesting. To me the non separateness feels more like a corollary to anatta, but I see your point.

I would say all of these things like dukkha, anicca, no self, etc point to emptiness, and no self is to me a useful lens that is definitely distinct from non separateness.

@ThinkingBone @nickcammarata If I’ve learned one thing from meditation it’s that actions with body and mind have appropriate consequences. If you’ve come this far, why would progress cease now?

[Adam @dogiveadam]

@ThinkingBone @nickcammarata You might like „the mind illuminated“. But seeing you have come across Ingram you might already be familiar with that one.

If someone gets paid or (otherwise rewarded) for fighting in a culture war, they are unfortunately incentivized to stoke the culture war. If you don’t want a culture war on your platform, don’t reward the players with support or martyrdom, and don’t stoke the flames yourself

@stclairashley @Cernovich Given our evolutionary origin, sports is one of the more understandable obsessions.

This is objective. I've derived this from the Standard Model. I'll place the preprint on the Arxiv shortly.

@anammostarac No recreation, only optimization.

It saddens me to see Andrew Huberman's Wikipedia page attacked in a politically-motivated way to remove most of his scientific accomplishments and to add misleading statements like: "Huberman appeared on programs that frequently platform health misinformation". This is a dishonest misrepresentation of a legit scientist and one of the best communicators of science in the world. @hubermanlab deserves to be celebrated not slandered. He is a truly special human being, who is doing an invaluable service for the world.

[Alexandr Wang @alexandr_wang]

the most valuable skill in the world is systems engineering:

the ability to debug, understand, and improve a complex system with limited/poor measurement

THIS is what makes great scientists, engineers, PMs, operators, doctors & investors

not truly taught in school outside STEM

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

School should teach HOW to think more than WHAT to think.
