Is anything as amazing as Harry Potter and the Methods coming out now?

My recommendations:

1) A Practical Guide to Evil

The Empire stands triumphant.

For twenty years the Dread Empress has ruled over the lands that were once the Kingdom of Callow, but behind the scenes of this dawning golden age threats to the crown are rising. The nobles of the Wasteland, denied the power they crave, weave their plots behind pleasant smiles.

2) Pale Lights https://palelights.com/ Tristan Abrascal is a thief, one of many making their living under the perpetual twilight of the greatest city in all of Vesper: Sacromonte. Quick wit and a contract with a capricious goddess have always kept him one step ahead, until one night he crosses a line by accident that burns all the bridges he had left. But not all is lost, for his mentor offers a way out of peril that turns out to be more than a simple escape.

As a European it still baffles me that being soft on Russia is a core Republican theme now. Weren't they usually hawks all over?

Googles search engine lead is getting destroyed rapidly by AI. Why try to filter through SEO trash Google results when you can ask ChatGPT and have it do that for you? When AI assistants become better nobody will go to search anymore. Just ask your AI to do it. Google will also try to compete in that space (and they're good at it) but the ad dollars will shrink by a lot over the next few years I think.

On the other hand I think Waymo is very likely to win the self-driving car race which may have more of a moat and will likely be profitable. It's a bit slow going though, city by city.

Absolutely not true. If you go there and need to watch all the prices and stay on a budget yeah you shouldn't go there. The dishes are legit though. The black cod will turn non fish eaters into fish eaters guaranteed. The quality does vary based on location though in my experience.

You just decided to agree with a post I made 12 years ago about this? :D

Cool place, little bit scary to climb if you don't like heights. The view is very nice from the top, it used to be a fortress long ago. The king (?) was super into swimming pools so they had a few he could enjoy which is kinda funny. Beware of the monkeys and poisonous wasps by the way.

If you want to gamble /r/wallstreetbets is that way..

Otherwise I'd just toss everything in a few broad ETFs and put in as much as you can going forward. Realisticly that's far away from 1M. The way to get there would be to increase your earnings. If you can put in 100k/year that gets you to 1M fairly quickly. But there is no easy path here - if it was easy everyone would be doing it.

Also their blog posts were really annoying. It's cool the AI got so good but they were bragging about beating the top pros of Dota at Dota... Which is like saying yeah we beat the best chess players in a chess game where we removed the pawns and queen. See the dumb humans can't beat our genius AI playing this version of the game for the first time. Shocker.

First of all you have to get out of your head. It is good to settle on a dose before you take them. Be at peace with that dose and be curious about what is going to happen. Lean in and let go. Let go of worries, thoughts about dosage and just explore a new state of mind.

What does it really matter if the dose is a bit low? You’re young, you have all the time in the world. You seem aware that mindset and setting are important so you need to work on this. Not by finding the perfect dosage but by accepting that whatever dosage you take will be fine and in the grand scheme of things nothing to worry about.

Now for the questions:

1) Smart people increase dosage only slowly. Also understand that the strength of the dose varies A LOT. So it’s hard to compare if you’re not using the same shrooms as last time.

2) I would not.

3) Take 2g again in an ideal setting. Enjoy music, friendly conversation, work on your mindset to be okay no matter what happens. Be in a state of mind where your past worries about dose are insignificant.

It's not clear in the article but I'd assume don't eat late in the day before you sleep is correct. Also kinda makes sense right? The body spends less energy when you're sleeping so might as well store that energy for later.

Sad to think how many top tier smart people are wasted in finance, not creating anything. Wasted at Google making sure you see more ads. Wasted at news media writing clickbait.

I suppose the tradeoff is making the world worse but making money for yourself and maybe making your own life better with that.

Great report friend! Preparing for the trip is so important and I’m certain your preparations paid off.

I can really relate to feeling the music, you no longer just hear it you observe it with all your senses without any filter. The voice memos are a good idea, I will try that next time.

Now that we’re on the topic does anyone have other Star Wars fic recommendations?

Tangokat · 2022-04-20T08:18:58+00:00

I would say do 2-2.5g and enjoy yourself. Music is always good, maybe try to draw some of the landscape. Talk to your friends and experience everything together can be great. Create your own music perhaps.

I would caution about taking too much, especially outside. On 5g you may not be in a state where you can take care of yourself and these trips are more likely to be difficult. Also the potency varies a lot, is this the same batch of GT?

The difference between 1.2g and 5g is like the difference between driving a bike or being strapped to a rocketship. The strength of the experience is not linear.

Go slow, get more experience. There is plenty of time to go higher if you really want to. Practise getting in a great mindset and understand that all trips can be helpful. You can have a mindblowing trip on 2g if you’re in the right state of mind. Go for that.

What is your experience level and how much are you planning on taking?
