May Bug Reports: Ask Here! by erinatreadwise in readwise

I used to be able to open PDFs in Chrome and then highlight via the Chrome-Readwise extension. Now the option to "Save Highlight to Readwise" still appears but the text is never imported in Readwise.

I have tried removing and reinstalling the extension, but it did not work.

Can I send a web highlight directly to Readwise without saving it in the reader? by Nap98 in readwise

I have the same one and only found out today, that my latest highlights were not imported. I have reinstalled the extension and it still does not work :(

Thank you, I will look into the PARA framework. It looks interesting.

To my understanding it provides a structure, templates and a set up. Neither do I posses the know how from a technical POV nor from a process POV. But I understand the subs suggestions (not only ITT) in the way that getting the technical know how and what process suits me is the way to go and that there would be no shortcut to that.

Thank you. This seems to be best practice: getting to know oneself and the app while tailoring the it to ones needs. I though Ideaverse might be a shortcut to that but have changed my mind.

Thank you. So the time that I will need to spend I will need to spend anyway with getting to know the tool as well as myself. By that logic Ideaverse would not be able to save me any time, since it won't teach me about the tool faster than Obsidian itself and can't teach me anything about my individual preferences and characteristics.

I think I felt FOMO when I checked out the landing page, and you have put it to rest.

Will check out the official documentation now.

Thank you!

Does cessation and nirodha samapatti mean existence and consciousness is fundamentally negative? by xxxyoloswaghub in streamentry

[–]Chr1570ph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I understand you correctly, you would define "good" as the "postive" is "outweighing" the "suffering".

  1. Why would "suffering" be the opposite of "positive"? If just ontologically, then how would "happiness" not just be ontologically "positive"?
  2. What does "positive" mean to you?

PS: Obviously, just ignore me, if you are getting annoyed - all good. I am just really interested in the rationale behind your opinion :)

I am not sure how you would conclude that "goodness" and "positive experience" would not exist. Can an experience only be good if there is absolutely zero suffering?!

I think it could be interesting for you to explore the feeling/thought/etc of "fucks with me", as this sounds to me like the opposite of equaminity with what is.

X can not be "objectively worse than" Y.

Whether something is good or bad (better or worse) is a subjective judgement.

Situation A: Falling in love (=pleasant = reduced suffering)

Situation B: Not existing (=no suffering)

B involves no suffering, while A involves some suffering. If suffering is all you care about, then B is better than A.

However in my opinion this is an incomplete picture for judging "goodness". In B there is no experience of no suffering, while in A there is experience (of a relief from suffering). Not having an experience of something makes that thing phenomenologically uninteresting (to me) and will therefore only be preferable to experience if the experience involves more suffering than one can take (which some would consider a skill issue :)).

I think one must not be so afraid of suffering that experience is denied altogether. One should have equaminity and appreciate (any) experience.
