What are you gonna do with an economy where people don’t get paid then? You cant have your cake and eat it too

Because they paid less than they would’ve paid for an off the shelf solution? They ripped off a bloke instead

Plumbers get paid for their work though. Some eager youngster gets exploited, at least once in their lifetime.

We do need long vacations to recover from modern day digitopia. Living in the US though doesn’t confer much such a priviledge. With an average of 2 weeks of vacation per year I don’t think it’s enough to have enough escape time to fully recover from it

From what you describe I don’t even understand how this is considered doping, unless the athlete is doing this to cover up for other substances in their blood during their training. Could anyone elaborate?

Switching back is a deferral until it eventually gets shoved down on our throats

It’s probably more useful for working out the memorization muscle than the information itself.

The planet will survive regardless, with or without a nuclear war. We won’t though and most current species will dissapear

Even if it all grinds to a halt tomorrow, at this point it won’t make a difference anymore. It’s the end of an era, possibly of civilization too, at least this particular flavor of it.

Yeah, they don’t compare in that sense. But I still find McKenna very charming to listen to, and am sometimes wowed to what cooky ideas he may have reached in his lectures. The man has a fascinating oratory skill. Despite his wild speculations he has a very interesting depiction of his own ideas and his overarching theme is one of union with the nature which no matter how reached at it’s a positive thing IMO.

To me thats a strange take. Letters that flow into eachother make it easier to write IMO. To Me it’s a bit similar to just using a keyboard and taking the hand off the keyboard to fuss with the mouse.

I also love Terrence McKenna and though I don’t take everything he says seriously, he was a fascinating speaker.

No wonder learning piano or a any musical instrument changes the brain. It’s a complex immersive experience that requires focus, coordination, lots of time practicing..

> Your real mistake is not installing Windows 11 Pro. Which you can get for $24 from stacksocial. [1] With PowerShell and Group Policy Editor you can clean up a lot of the stuff quickly.

Why bother installing a crappy/inferior OS in the first place? I personallt like nothing about W11

It’s nice to be in control for once. I am getting more and more into offline consumption, and to me if quality of the media isn’t the highest but decent Im okay. My attention though is extremely valuable to me to let companies services try to mess with it.
