@ericaavey @palladiummag @stuartbuck1 @bdamer Agreed, we need new voices and approaches

[Matt Gillespie @philomateo]

@RCarhartHarris Archetypes are just conscious projections from 5D entities that are not ready to reincarnate and vivify through our psyches.

I could have sworn I saw a paper on that... Iamblichus et al.

[Matt Gillespie @philomateo]

A modern designer's job is increasingly to elevate AI's "good-enough" to something extraordinary.

Taste, discernment, and that giddy excitement exploring new and meaningful aesthetic territory... that's where we need to start living.

[Chris Timmermann @neurodelia]

Our new paper - the first peer-reviewed brain and phenomenological examination of 5-MeO-DMT is out in @NeuroConsc .

TLDR: We tested whether ‘the mount Everest’ of psychedelics could induce a complete state of consciousness deconstruction while preserving awareness. 1/n

want to build a conscious thing?

the beautiful loop now has a formal model!

we call it hyper-modelling

thanks Karl

here’s the breakthrough (eli5) 👇

[Matt Gillespie @philomateo]

This was a fun one to produce! Psychedelics, early computing, and environmentalism in the Bay Area are all deeply tied

🌍✨Did you know Earth Day was inspired by an a¢id trip?

It all started with a shift in perspective...

Emergence is always an orthogonal perception, u can see it only from above, a different dimension. Projection is always collective emergence from many constituents. Feedback is always feeling in present time the effect of shifting infinity. Where we cant go, speaks reality.

[Dan Hendrycks @hendrycks]

We’ve found as AIs get smarter, they develop their own coherent value systems.

For example they value lives in Pakistan > India > China > US

These are not just random biases, but internally consistent values that shape their behavior, with many implications for AI alignment. 🧵

Fascinating exploration by @QuantaMagazine on the theoretical limits of LLMs: https://t.co/fMG8Y5gxFP

@PaulAustin3w That said, some people need to take 5g every month until they get it figured out 👨‍⚕️

Ramanujan has me taking my dreams much more seriously

[The Center for MINDS @centerforminds]

Could Ramanujan's mystical practices and methods of “receiving” insights hold lessons for unlocking our own brilliance?⁠ 📹️ @Philomateo

@algekalipso @AlexanderBeiner has an in insightful perspective framing the situation we’re in, moving beyond polarization

[Matt Gillespie @philomateo]

I too was disappointed with what I saw. If the phenomenon is real, it’s disappointing to not properly blind the participants

That said, there were a few examples with the spellers using keyboards unassisted that were hard to explain, aside from perhaps memorization or fraud

[Ruben Laukkonen @RubenLaukkonen]

I watched some of the paywalled telepathy tapes and sadly every case I saw includes blatant facilitated communication. In some cases, to the point that the facilitator (who knows the answer!) controls both the face and the 'spelling board'.

I hate being this guy. But we need to consider how badly this can affect children and adults with disabilities who's true intentions and desires are being replaced by a facilitators projections, which have previously lead to false accusations of sexual abuse.

This is not about telepathy. It's about something much more serious - the humane treatment of vulnerable humans.

I'm also sorry for all those with renewed optimism about spiritual phenomena after hearing the telepathy tapes. I hope you can ride that openness towards practices that give you your own meaningful, surprising, and outright magical experiences. They exist.

But this ain't it.

See the detailed thread in comments.

This is the future:

[Steve Jurvetson @FutureJurvetson]

From outer to inner space
Hotter is better for geothermal power. But the electronics needed to drill directional wells dies above 200°C

Leveraging extreme space exploration technology, Hephae will double the efficiency of geothermal and make it cheaper than natural gas by going hotter and deeper.

Geothermal offers 24/7 carbon-free energy, and by tapping just 1% of the world’s super-hot rock, we could generate 8x the world’s electricity needs for many centuries.

Check out my proposal for a "New Stoned Ape Theory" that synthesizes McKenna's insights with @RCarhartHarris' Entropic Brain Hypothesis and modern complexity theory. The theory suggests we may be entering a new psychedelic era that represents another great leap in human evolution. Of interest to @Ravarora1 @joerogan @JasonSilva @jamiewheal
