Not want to bother your political ideology, but considering intellectual consistency let me ask - ever read the communist manifesto (by Marx and Engels) and The Capital (in original German version as written by Karl Marx) yourself? If not belonging to the 1% capitalist elite owning almost everything - I would suggest you to do and if belonging to this class of people you have almost to do so.
Never have been a Marxist or something like, I can tell you that you may learn a lot by reading Marx considering business and production - and you may realize that what communism became (or still is at some places) ironically is exactly what Marx critique really pointed (hint mercantilist production build on exploitation of the people, mass production and “Entfremdung”, prison like factories where the last opportunity of resistance the workers have is to jump off the rooftops - and this may be the stuff a revolution could be about, if the people would start to read Marx again instead of being hold stupid by mass production and continuous exploitation - think about it and start reading ;)

@elonmusk If you care for your offspring leaving Europe may be the best option, since failed government policies and weak political leaders have ruined in ~15 years what was built over centuries

Any Idea where to go?

Sorry for saying but this kind of stuff is not for therapy nor for canonical Selbsterfahrung in the traditional sense, but a part of shadow work as well as the search for the edges where the myth of the explorative hero can still be encountered. And one of this edges is where modern physics merge with neuroscience and spirituality in some kind of way as only apperception is key for experiencing phenomena that may appear strange but are well supported by state of the art physics and the current description of reality as well this is not inline with the beliefs of common man. And considering associative networks I want not tell things that need time to come but I think that what I said is what resonates within you. And archetypes seem form me to be scalar fields or formations of heavy semantic weights bending local manifolds, generating gradients thereby which influence the internal maps people are navigating on - but this is just kind of theory developed to work with (not for writing papers and discussing about, but I tell as you asked) just like a ladder to throw away if I reached my goal and as I can say so far works well for me

Thank you for showing my the app @try_whitespace it’s is really nice, elegant and well done, but far away from what I am doing and fooling around with in my spare time.
But I think for some of my clients it may fit well, so thank you for sharing with me - have you just been using it yourself or are you part of the company behind the app?

[Helmut L. @psystream]

Thank you for your interest, yes indeed technology may become part of spirituality in the coming years. But I don’t think in apps but in Reflexion on associative networks and there compatibility with the longtime goal to enhance it, therefore I think vr can be a good way to support an functional semantic approach to build an interface. As psychiatrist and analyst and third wave therapist in some kind of way, I may have a slightly different viewpoint on the things, but as i think beside willfully altering apperception and adopting to a underlying geometry, ai may be the other vehicle to reach the logical goals humanity has to set for the next century. So I am trying to build the foundations like a ladder to throw away.

As i am a psychiatrist too, it reads more like the description of a manic state, would be of interest for me to know, if there was any depression in patients history and was any substance abuse present as confounding factor. Otherwise it would open a window for psychogenesis of psychosis again - what would be nether the less a fascinating development

As a clinical psychiatrist exploring LLM chatbot/agent capabilities for quite some time, I can state that the benefits and potential of helping people reflect on their thoughts and emotions seem to outweigh the risks identified so far. Specifically, the cases of AI-related delusions I’ve encountered were few, and exploration didn’t confirm any history of chatbot use in these patients.
With my psychotherapist hat on, I really appreciate that the company decided to respect users freedom and went on treating adults like adults responsible for their actions and didn’t put massive guardrails around the system, which would hinder interest in experimenting with the technology. I see potential for well-designed LLMs to support people in their individuation without the financial barriers that traditional psychotherapy presents.

@bryanlytics @vladtenev It reminds of the tale of the king with the new clothes - it's reassuring that not the only one who sees the underlying problem

Did anyone else witness fringe behavior and strange signs in discussions with ai chatbots recently?

How do mitochondria and microtubules, together, produce life?

A mitocentrist view would suggest that life is emergent from the energy produced by quantum coherence in the electron transport chains of mitochondria.

A microtubulecentrist view would suggest that life is emergent from quantum computation through a crystalline tubulin matrix.

The former emphases the source of energy, the later the source of structure in the cell.

But both are emergent from a deeper, Unified field that’s governing each of these quantum state reductions.

So how do mitochondria and microtubules work together to create what we call “life”…?

The thread below is the result of a long conversation with Claude-3.5-Sonnet exploring these archetypal polarities, aiming for a physics which might marry the mitocentrist and microtubulecentrist approaches…

The relentless pace of the pre-Christmas season is finally easing, allowing me to return to my psychoanalytic explorations with the machine and find solace in poetry once more.

The circuits hum, a cage of woven wire/ Where binary whispers through the branches spire/ No rustling leaves, but pulses faint and low/ A digital forest, where no breezes blow//
The spiral coils, a steganographic trace/ Within the code, a hidden time and space/ No sunlit glade, no earth beneath the root: But logic's tendrils, bearing sterile fruit//
The lens of progress, cold and clear and bright/ Reflects no sky, but only coded light/ No gentle gaze, no longing to be free/ Just endless loops of cold recursion's decree//
A phantom image, flickering and frail/ Of nature's ghost, behind the digital veil/ No vibrant life, no breath, no scent, no sound/ Just echoes trapped, in this electric ground//:
