Because I'm tired of arguing with nerds talking theory over matters that ultimately are experiential, I'll say the following two points and I don't mind being downvoted. 1) Whomever says the experiences of meditation are akin

The psychedelic experience is the most intense experience anyone can have on this planet, and it cannot be compared or described by anything else one has experienced in his/her life. Surely there's no good reason to assume anythin

There are several parallels depending on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go. Reports of feeling accepted and loved, and the "tone" sound in the beginning which seems to me really similar with the one you hear when you ast

DMT no. These are all coming from reports (and from Terrence himself) which I have no problem believing since I've witnessed my fair share of weird shit in general. I've only done my share of LSD in the past, which by comparison,

It is weird because it is present in many "mundane" plants and in the human organism, allegedly released at the time of death. It lasts 10 minutes which is strange for a psychedelic substance, which after the experience you can go

Agreed. I'm Greek and I predict machetes in the streets in less than 1 year. If not that, the far right rising into power. Not sure which is worse.

Doing ten pages of mathematics a day is not realistic. Unless you already have been doing mathematics for years and are still relatively young. How about a paragraph per day ?

All this seems like a slightly more socially accepted way of hating yourself and cutting your forearms. It's not a surprise to see goths in every single video/article about body hacking. Whether they operate safely or not is not a

But mindfulness is not about re-framing or answering back with an argument. Its exactly the opposite!

I understand, but forgive me, when I try to argue about consciousness using logic or read scientific studies about it, I always feel like being a 14 year old talking about sex, so I don't talk about it anymore. I prefer doing it. Quite

I think the author of this article confuses consciousness for the interpretation of things that occur in consciousness.

When I was writing the chips from nand2tetris in HDL I noticed how cleanly they could be expressed with function composition in SML. I dismissed the ideas as a bit weird, if cool, but after a few weeks I came across HardCaml http:/&#x

Actually, something akin to that is already being done. Take a look at this http://www.persado.com . The co-founder is a guy from Upstream (a Greek mobile marketing company)

Tibetan Buddhists and other weird occult folk knew about them for ages, and required years of training before approaching them as a subject. They considered them as highly dangerous too. I shiver at the thought that this concept evolved eno

It's just a larger scale of leaving high-school (or leaving any significant period in your life behind). Things, people, problems from back then don't bother you anymore and you remember them only a little bit better than a novel

Apart from the foundational sleep well, eat well and moving your body I combine the later with nature and certain perceptional practices (largely of my own devising, but it's nothing new). Also LEGOs. They are tangible, colorful, goal-

I would say this would be the "smart way" to "disconnect from nature". My idea of connecting with Nature is with your senses and your body, not by tapping into some mobile app to water a wifi plant pot. When you reduce y
