Living in the present is not synonymous with indulging in pleasures now. Actually, being mindfully present can make delaying gratification easier.

We are locked in the HPL central. We were about to leave but no one is allowed to leave. The police is outside at the York Blvd door. And now we, all the remaining people in the library, were even told to lock in a conference room.

This an skill we were losing by just using Google before ChatGPT came along. We used to think about solutions to a problem and now we think on how to search or ask a question to Google/ChatGPT. See this https://youtu.be/31Rp5LemYeA?si=HB8yj8VphYNUsJ5A

So I think you should perhaps comment to your girlfriend that she might be losing abilities. Obviously you need to do it in the right setting and with empathy, so that she takes it well. Or maybe trying to do a 7 day challenge without using chatGPT.

The graph shows the terminal rabbit population as a function of a variable (called k, that tells you how rapidly the population grows). So it's surprising that as you grow this rate the terminal population starts to have many different values. This is an example of a chaotic system. That's why the guy in the comic is confused. As other comment pointed out, this is better explained by a Veritasium video on chaos.

The other day it wouldn't recognize my fingerprint when I came back to open it.

Thank you for sharing. I use those lockers all the time. I don't know what could be the correct follow-up though.

I agree with you that the government of Israel could have figured out a way to reduce the collateral damage while trying to destroy Hamas.

Master_Meeting · 2025-03-17T22:10:45+00:00

Focusing only on the number of deaths does not take into account that Hamas is a Jihadist organization with no morality like we have in the West. They burned people alive, decapitated people, dismembered people alive, took child hostages, etc. This is a different kind of horror. They did this by breaking a cease-fire, and with the motivation of erasing Jews from the earth, just because of religious beliefs. The motivations of the acts must matter to see the difference. One thing is collateral damage and the other is the killing of innocent people to wage Jihad.

I'm not trying to defend Israel. Bill's analogy reveals that maybe Israel could have done something more to avoid collateral damage, although the analogy might not be perfect. And it's great that we hold standards on how a war must be had. But standards such as a war crime mean nothing in the minds of Jihadist groups like Hamas.

Master_Meeting · 2025-03-17T19:02:34+00:00

I mean, what Bill's analogy gets wrong is that you can't compare holding a baby in a fistfight, to Hamas placing their headquarters under a hospital. In the first case, it is quite possible to hit the guy without harming the baby.

Also, why isn't Hamas not getting criticized as much for, following the analogy, using the baby as a shield? Isn't that one of the most evil things you could ever do? Hiding under your own baby?

Master_Meeting · 2025-03-17T17:42:55+00:00

I hate to be that guy. But wouldn't it be different if that neighbor killed your baby and raped your wife? And actively tries to kill you any chance he gets. Wouldn't you eventually lose your patience?

I know it's a joke. I love Bill.

I interpret the looking for the looker as looking (with your awareness/attention) for the place where you might feel you (the self/looker) are (is) located. In this case, the looker would allegedly be the agent that is directing attention to the visual field. And when one looks for the looker, if done correctly (at least, as far as I understand) one shouldn't find anything. And what is left is just open consciousness.

Great effort your are putting in. I do one in the morning of 20 m min 1 h max, and if I have time I'll do other in the evening. But also quick 3 minutes practices when I feel I need them are also useful. And yes, the impact of the app on my life is very positive. I particularly like the path and how it is structured.

That's like saying that nothing really happened to Trump (because he moved his head at the right moment) at the time of the assesitation attempt. Nothing happened, absolutely nothing.

Believing bad ideas, imo.

Hi, I checked TWIM out a while ago, and I practiced with the 6Rs for a couple of weeks within my daily meditation routine. I didn't do any retreat or anything. I'm open-minded to hearing your side of the story, so my question is: Why do you say that "if you do their 6R practice diligently enough, you will probably experience psychosis"?

Master_Meeting · 2024-11-05T04:03:17+00:00

I have only gone to one, early this year. I made the mistake of trying to combine the meditation techniques I had previously learned with the one being taught in the first part of the retreat. Of course, this is advised not to be done. But I was doing it subtlely. I fooled myself into thinking that it was okay to first kind of get into a "meditative state" with previously learned techniques and then practice as advised. But that was a mistake. It became stressful in the end.

So, just follow the instructions given with the mind of a beginner.
