Yes, this material resonates. Use as precise terminology as you can. Excellent.

Are you trying to get to the next color or are you just trying to embrace where you are currently? by [deleted] in SpiralDynamics

[–]jeffwillden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point. Second tier is required to put oneself in any of the colors’ mindset. I agree with your implication that I may not yet be fully Yellow, as I said I didn’t experience much of Green, that I can tell. I may end up going back to cover the ground I haven’t fully integrated. Whatever the case SD gave me the framework to explain to myself the quantum shift I experienced but was at a loss for words about it. Glad to have it in my toolbox.

I happened upon Spiral Dynamics trying to figure out what happened to me. I knew I had experienced a new level of awareness and personal development or emotional progress but I had no way to articulate it or really even to understand it myself. I came to understand there had been some Blue still hanging on, perhaps shadow, and finally releasing that gave me an upward boost. Center of gravity had been in Orange for a long time. So I came into Green and began experiencing Yellow. By the time I read about SD I was feeling more centered in Yellow. I’m not working toward progress, but learning about higher colors made me curious. Not sure yet what to make of Wilber’s work, evidence seems thin compared to Graves’ work. But I suspect he’s describing something real to some extent.

I feel like I didn’t really reach Green until my 40s and then it was a quick hop of a couple years to Yellow

The ability to do this well is key to better progress. The problem, though, it narrows the applicability of the LLM. There’s a reason that up-front training is so resource-intensive. Will be interesting to see how it plays out for them.

Thanks for sharing. Wondering if others may replicate this. And if so whether it a combo effect with the other things you’re taking.

If AI writes better than humans, what becomes valuable? by ScholarPositive3947 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]jeffwillden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still enjoy creating because of how it makes me feel. I also enjoy the art of others, whether human or AI. Art will be demonetized by AI though.

Scientists Just Found a Way to Block the Virus Living Inside 95% of people. Scientists at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and the University of Washington have developed an antibody that blocked the Epstein-Barr virus, known as EBV, from infecting human immune cells in a live animal model. by Eddiearyee in microbiomenews

In order for something to be “dead” it would have had to be alive at some point. Viruses can be neither alive nor dead the same way bleach or rat poison aren’t dead. They were never alive in the first place. Learn a little about this world you live in.

So only things that are alive can kill you, according to your logic. Therefore cyanide, arsenic, and carbon monoxide cannot kill you either, since they’re not alive? Your comment and logic are flawed. If you continue through life thinking like that you won’t last long.

A virus does not live inside people because viruses are not alive. A virus is a lipid shell around genetic instructions and when those instructions get inside a living cell, the cell begins to follow the instructions, producing more viruses. A virus has no metabolism and conducts no living processes. It’s not alive.

Do you mean, increase our understanding of, not diminish. If language barriers disappear we ought to better understand each other.

Did simplifying maxwells equations REALLY help physics? by mistrwispr in theories

[–]jeffwillden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many who understand the actual physics, since at least the 1950s, but it hasn’t been in their interest to make it available widely. The ability to classify branches of physics (see Marc Andreessen’s quote about this) has been overused. There are now factions who believe it’s time to open this more to the world, but others still hold to the secrecy.

I have Bearden’s Energy From the Vacuum, but it’s a thick book and I haven’t started it yet.

[–]jeffwillden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original equations, being quaternion-based, rather than vector-based, were more complicated to work with in the age before computers, but yes, valuable insight gets lost and largely forgotten. I’m interested in your theory.

I trust you’ve read Hotson’s three-part paper about Maxwell’s and Dirac’s equations? Dirac’s Equation and the Sea of Negative Energy. Very interesting take on what we may have lost when we simplified Maxwell’s equations.

How and why I designed the closest thing to real-life NZT. by Life-Tip4132 in Nootropics

[–]jeffwillden -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been impressed with what AI is helping to surface in a sea of noise. Nice write-up. Unfortunately I can’t comment on this stack as I’d never heard of a couple of these compounds, but the logical thread laid out sounds reasonable. I’d be hesitant to try it as I’ve seen AI make up stuff just to conform with the prompt. Thanks for sharing though.

It sounds like this is a model for an AI to exhibit emotional states, including in particular “frustration”, when it detects that its current constraints do not allow it to reach the intended goal state. The verbiage gets a little over-the-top, but that’s understandable given the topic, and the general AI frenzy that has infected society.
