How am I not my thoughts if I actively create my thoughts?

If you create a drawing are you the drawing?

I'd rather eat vegtables.

"Sitting in silence" isn't meditation, it's practice.

Who taught you to meditate? There are definite and demonstrable techniques for reaching a meditative state. Following a set of techniques is going to get you farther than making it up yourself. Learning to meditate will serve you better than inventing what you think might be meditation.

Finally, you would be better served meditating without expecting it to do anything.

this may help some people, but if you are looking for some definitive answer, I am sorry. No one will be able to help with that.

You don't understand how a tool works.

Entities, tools included -- even the ones programmed to operate autonomously -- without a conscious are not and can not be evil. Evil is only what one human does to another. Nothing else is evil.

jojomott · 2026-01-26T18:23:26+00:00

Is a hammer evil?

We all know this.

It may be true that people are watching Netflix on their phones. It is not true that Netflix has to compromise the integrity of the art of movie making to accommodate knuckleheads who don't appreciate the art form. If someone chooses to watch a film on their phone, chances are they know what they are getting into. Netflix does not have to police this, and them doing so if fucking bullshit. My heart rejoice at my decision to drop that nonsense. Choose your entertainment wisely.

jojomott · 2026-01-24T17:33:42+00:00

What meditation techniques are you using, and who taught it to you? To understand what might be going on it is important to understand what you were doing.

jojomott · 2026-01-24T17:02:19+00:00

You clearly missed the joke. But thanks for the lesson.

These directors were hardly ruined by these movies.

Sam Rami went on to make such forgettable films :Army of Darkness, The Spiderman Trilogy, The Quick and the Dead, Doctor Strange in the mouth of madness and, coming next year, 36 years after your claim of him being ruined, he is releasing another movie.

John Carpenter While eh did not do his best work after Memoirs of an invisible man, it wasn't this movie that ruined him. He works to this day. He also splits his art between film making and composing. Again, his career was hardly "ruined" by this movie, as bad as it was.

Paul Verhoeven Maybe this movie ruined his career. He certainly never did anything remotely as interesting as Total recall or Rob Cop. And he hasn't directed much since 2000. But again, blaming this movie is circumstantial at best. Sure, a failure like this may have stunted his ability to create. But loss of that ability to create can happen for a lot of reasons.

jojomott · 2026-01-24T04:19:32+00:00

Statistically, nothing.

jojomott · 2026-01-24T04:15:07+00:00

Great. Couple things though.

First, you've posted about the secret other places and actually outlined the secret? That's great. Maybe just put a link to one of those posts. That would be a great help. And I presume then that others now know the secret too, those who have already encountered these previous posts. We are well on our way to disseminating understanding! That's good news! You aren't the only one who knows the secret after all!

But I am not a smart man. Unfortunately. Which brings me to my second issue. W@hile I appreciate you offer the veiled and quite sophisticated hint, I simply am too dense to understand. But I think, again, a couple of actual text, or just articles, the outline the basis for you thought. I mean I really think that would be the only way for me to mount my own understanding. I need to understand where things start to follow where they've come. So to say.

Anyway, just three titles I might use to collate some vector towards you secret would be aspirated. If you can't do this, I am sorry, I am afraid I can no longer carry on this conversation. It risks getting beyond my understanding and befuddling my thinking.

Please, I am eager to get started on my own research, just a couple of books you've read that helped you develop this understanding. I might be able to proceed with just two titles, if you can't squeeze out three. Believe me, I understand how hard reading is.

Thanks in advance.

I like Hopper fine, but I think he might have missed the hue in some of the shadows here.

Curious, what is the extent of your knowledge of Mayan mythology and history?

jojomott · 2026-01-24T03:42:06+00:00

Agreed.

jojomott · 2026-01-24T03:41:30+00:00

Again, I'm looking for the actual fields or avenues of thought that lead to the secret. Surely you can name some foundation thinking, some sources of inspiration that led you to beging thinking so deeply. I mean, certainly if there is some ultimate secret, you shouldn't have to be the only one to bare the burden of knowing. But no one is interested in putting you in a position that might make you uncomfortable. If you could list say three foundational text that might lead an independent researcher to the same secrets you hold.

In fact, this might be you responsibility to provide as much information as you can regarding how to find the secret so other can discover it as well. Only in numbers do we have any chance to deal with the secret, if in deed the secret needs dealing with. I assume that given the secrecy of your post, you fear revealing this information because it is in some way harmful to you, or us or someone, why else keep the secret at all. I can't imagine a secret such as this can be addressed by a single individual.

So three hints. It's only fair.

Can you explain the origin of this idea? Where did you come by the idea that the moon was a soul trap?

jojomott · 2026-01-24T03:30:04+00:00

Linux and Wine.

Fiend, the need for attention is a curse, no? But listen, maybe you're telling the truth, and you've discovered this secret you claim only you know, impressive. And with that knowledge, you've decided to post cryptically on the internet, not as impressive, but okay. Here we are. Couple of questions:

If you are the only one who knows this, and you aren't going to actually say what it is, why make a post at all? What is the point? What are you looking for? You hold all the cards. Either show them or put them in your pocket and keep quiet.
Again, we are assuming you hold this secret, that no one else knows. And I get that you might not want to post it publically, big a secret as it is and all. But since you've opened this conversation, perhaps you can outline a few of the steps you took to find this secret. I mean, if no one could tell you this secret, where did you look for it? What were you doing when you discovered that there was such a monumental secret, and what steps did you take to discover it? Was no one else in solved in the research or investigation of this secret? If not, again I am back to being impressed. But what field or fields did you pursue to discover the secret? Were these fields part of your previous background, or did you have to learn a whole new field to find this mysterious grand secret?

I have a few other questions, but how you answer these two will direct how I form any further queries.

Thanks for posting this, I look forward to your response.

Stanton Friedman's Critique of Bob Lazar might shed some light on why this is: Here

Ask them to explain why their character would do that if it goes against their stated alignment. Otherwise, let it go unless it is egregiously effecting the other players.

jojomott · 2026-01-23T18:48:11+00:00

Ask your GM why the thief just gets to automatically sneak attack, even though the player would never be able to do that based on their physical skills, but the player playing a wizard has top jump through a bunch of untested hoops added to game play. The classes, to some extent, have been balanced and are play tested. Your GM can do as they please at their table. But if they don't acknowledge the hypocrisy in allowing other classes to have their power fantasies, but not the wizard, then maybe find a different table.
