Same. The atmosphere it creates is still unmatched. I wish I hadn’t watched BR2049. Felt like a cheap parody, from the torrents of water falling on the windows, to the fake light effects, to the cartoonish villain who of course had to butch

Narrative is defined by ideology and the media machinery able to sustain it. Facts are woven in only when serving the desired reality. If you and I listened to the propaganda on the regular basis, our intuitive knowledge would associate cle

It also happens to be my favorite book on acting and improvisation, with tons of brilliant exercises. highly recommended.

Stopped mistaking my thoughts and opinions with reality. Result: 90% reduction of agony. Meditation method: remembering the sense of “I am-ness” in every waking moment, stop thinking whenever possible, focus on senses whenever I remember. W

1. War is insanity already. Not sure how pointing ways someone is making war more efficient is sanewashing in this context. 2. Assuming every pow gets tortured is an extraordinary statement which as such could use some solid proof.

One should never write about an idea before implementing it?

Reading this it occurs to me that this timeline may be moving toward a future where garbage software, garbage information etc. have become the norm for so long that the number of people who can distinguish trash from quality, or signal from

All about Berlin is a work of love, thank you for creating it. LLMs stealing content and regurgitating it for money is an illegal extraction of informational value. The fact that our governments have not taken steps to seek balance of rewar

The feeling of gentle content / blissful love emerges automatically as the grip of thinking convulsions releases the body. It’s direct, effortless, always available, takes no time. Easily done in any situation of passivity including me

Not sure what the OP or the person in the videos means but a direct, fast way I have found to “drop in” is to stop thinking and intensify my awareness of everything. Takes about 5-10 seconds to transition into a nonthinking timeless presenc

AI models are rapidly getting better… at creating an unstoppable tide of hype about AI models rapidly getting better.

Interesting how we’re using passive language here. LLMs do not replace jobs, managers constantly try to increase profit. Managers and business owners try to replace people’s jobs via automation. LLM companies actively try to convince manage

I have both the latest Lightroom and Davinci Resolve. Recently I edited a few images requiring removing extra people from the frame and I was able to do all editing in Lightroom, in seconds. As much as I dislike Adobe, Lightroom’s shortcuts
