Today
Daniel!
Are you feeling like messing with reality?
Or are you hoping that we all soon realize our infinite responsibility?
Look at this funny syncrhonicityt
You are aware, right, that we will never become able to "catch up" with ourselves no matter how hard we think? That truth is a live process, which we are in the middle off
Haha, synchronicities? I experience them every day
I decided to take lsd and after that I realized it was nietzche's birthday. How is that for a synchronicity? 
Look at this funny synchronicity, I was just writing a response to your request for comment on the fibonacci and you pop up.
Ah Daniel, I love you so much for what you have done.
I'm so grateful to you
Just keep up the good work.
I feel a need to take it to a much higher level
I want to master biophysics, get AT LEAST to aubrey's level
It's been my childhood dream to develop a cure for aging and morphological freedom
I also like how you don't fear the more technical aspects of the mathematical and scientific which is like the rudder of a sailboat and without which consciousness just gets so easily tossed about
Don't you think those two would make things much easier for us?
I used to be very good at maths in high school
but i forgot it all after several years of no use
Dropped out from a maths bachelor last year, stupid unprepared over-confident me
But tell me, what is your agenda? Do you really just want to make a metaphysical anarchy and see where we take it?
I think we need to uncover the safe options we have
Biophysics is absolutely wonderful. Pay attention to engineering circuits theory, information theory, and especially the structure of the crystal lattice and how group theory works there. Group theory is fundamental in both qm and computer science and biophysics. Best book on the subject is by the great Herman Weyl . . . reading your comments as I write, I love metaphyscial anarchy as a concept
both mentally and physically, since it's all the same. but why do i even say that, you know that
im noting it down
im gonna do a philosophy exam here in norway in 2 months
im planning on reading your presocratics and the experience of
next fall i want to start on a physics degree
excellent
that's where the real nourishment for the soul is
One thing I fear is that I may not be able to catch up with those who are furthest ahead
read Feynman's 3 volume lecture on physics, in addition to whatever you're studying
ok
never ever worry about catchup.
noting that down too
You will be amazed, as Descartes pointed out in his rule number on in Rules for the Direction of the Mind.
Just keep uploading and the stuff keeps working in the background
even the math you started and dropped
I think I'm very intelligent. It's hard to assess it in relation to the average scientist but I really think I have great potential. And I'm completely obsessed about it.
I know, it's all there
That big soup of wisdom and experience
It came puring out during the lsd trip
it was so amazing to realize that it was my own mind which was capable, with a little help, to give rise to such amazing complexity
plus you know, many scientists and mathematicians are totally zapped and closed off by their knowledge, still steeped (many of them) in naive realism. The great ones aren't but the great ones are thereby great.
hehe
i started deconstructing materialism as a teenager
i grew up with fantasy, sci fi and my atheistic dad
though please watch those drugs, they are a way of raping your own brain to achieve states that it can if it wills deliver quite willingly
i realized the teleportation paradox when i was 12
i understand
im not planning on exploring many more drugs
my plan is to one day program my own drugs right into my brain through a computer interface
we need to learn to speak dna
and for that we need an interface into our bodies
we have made a cell nucleus from scratch already
most of us have absolutely no idea of what the fuck is going on
in terms of philosophy, I would get absolutely clear about the synthetic a priori through Kant's realization and explanation as to how mathematical and scientific knowledge are possible, read the Prolegomena to any future Metaphysics first and then the Critique, don't worry if you don't quite get it just look up the terms and scan it all in, is what I tell my students.
its so hard to not feel everyone is such a pathetic moron these days
i will
im gonna follow all your advice and try to intergrate it into my own program
how do you feel these days? are you happy? blissful? what do you expect from our future?
man, daniel, i consider you one of my greatest teachers
you ARE today's socrates
and i would love to be your plato one day
funny what you mention about programming your own brain, I once met Timothy Leary when I was a prof at U of Wisconsin and he came to give a talk. A dinner later was at a restaurant and others wouldn't show up because they didn't want to be associated with him. He was old but still brilliant, and he said that if he had time that's what he'd want to do! He asked me, hey, Dan, have you ever met anyone with more RPM? And I asked, what's that? He said, Revelations Per Minute. There's a term for you, my friend, who seems to have quite a few RPMs!
im too much of a hedonist for a plato though lol
hehe, well
everyone tells me i think too much
instead they should have told me i thought too negatively
coz that i did omg
ive been so close to suicide so many times its almost not funny
but things changed a lot last year
don't waste the mind and brain sapce
I mean space
as i was dropping out of the maths study i got obsessed about OI and how it relates to accelerating change
I felt that we were dehumanizing ourselves in our unawareness of who we are
letting primitive impulses drive the scientific development
turning our reality into a living hell of ignorance
thinking though is a lot like music; instead of just playing the standard tape you should compose your thoughts and let the thoughts comose a landing field for ideas
yes a lot of people get caught up in the bullshit
after that i started reading goleman's emotional intelligence
and one passage there, about how children naturally tend to feel compassion for each other gave me a completel spiritual experience
in answer to your question yes, I'm looking out my study this moment at the wonderful falling autumn leaes, smiling, in rapture
i was much stronger than the heavy dose of mdma i tried one year later
and it completely changed my perspective on the nature of meaning, causality, agency and the meaning of love
children have a wonderful innocence and brutal honesty
do you live a lot in the present?
to become an adult but remain a child, yes, the present is all there is
children know this
It's hard for me to live in the present since i'm autogynephilic. that part of me drove me insane but is turning into my biggest source of motivation
i remember how i was 10 years ago
i lived fully in the present
i played a lot
studied insects
read lots
didnt have tv
lived i bolivia, was an outcast
so i read lots
dreamt myself away and watched sci fi
all the 80s sci fi movies have shaped me
and the comics omg
those were my drugs
and they drove me to philosophy
lovely
but i had huge knowledge gaps
but also a strong intuition
i had a big problem understanding what they explaine din school
since i didnt understand that those were all models and theories
i actually thought people were speaking the truth
giving me facts
gaps we all have problem is many don't see them, need to see the gaps to see the space there where there is room to play and create
i was 15 when i asked my physics teacher whether atoms were real
and that is when i first undrestood that nobody knew shit
very nice
that we are all infering everything from what we observe
i also studied psychology at bsc lvl for one year
Ernst Mach, the great 19th century physicists after whom Mach speeds are named, did not believe in atoms as much as Berekely
thats when i realized OI
thank to mike wilber
you should talk to this guy
and look at his book
okay
will do
that page gave me the biggest rapture ever
when i realized i was immortal
the lsd was cool but doesnt come close
convincing anyone about this has proven hard though
people just dont get how important this question is
too afraid
i hope to meet you in person one day
I have a whole chapt on split brains in I Am You
so we can have a proper talk
i know
when i discovered your book 5 years later that was the second rapture
you should have seen me
interesting book, great how we can have this talk and I can click on a link you send to see what you're talking about
i realized that around the ame time i learned about accelerating change
hehe
i see you arent fully immersed in the new digital interface to reality
what we need is to get our brains directly on line
to each other
yep
we need laser contact lenses
and 3d sound
and virutal and augmented reality
we also need surrogates to do dangerous tasks
personally i think we should all make our brains as safe as possible
the rate at which our brains will merge will vary from person to person
some of us will want to keep our egos
telepresence is already sort of what we have, that's the metaphysical subjectivism I'm talking about
and our human perspective experience
I like it
but people will freak out
once they start realizing that we are all one
i think it might start happening as soon as in 2012
that's what they said about every technological advance, from telephones to tv
for the simple reason that humanity will then ask itself "so what has happened?"
I'm ready!
and to answer that question they need to ask "what is happening"
Like yeah, oh my God, what have I done to myself?
and if they ask they shall receive answers
hehe
i think our madness is bound to end
everything is entangling and harmonizing
just look at emergent order from chaos
Well but there is the problem of responsibility. We dont want to see that the other is myself because then look at me, there, look at how corrupt and stupid and mean I am.
we are one huge chaotic fractal
generating a pattern of causality
Plus all the bad shit is me doing it? DAmn! I thought it was the devil!
existing in a multidimensional singularity
Yes,
oh but we gotta get over that shit
hating alex and hating daniel is the same thing
still, doesnt mean we should tolerate all our crap
Sort of like Einstein's original papers that only a few could understand, right, without which you would have had no photoelectirc effect and now everybody using that technology
but we are already strict systems as humans
einstein is just so cool
when you see your faults they drop like leaves, as good old Krishnamurti once said.
he fucking knew so fucking much
yup
and he showed us his toungue haha
even how to plain a mean violin
I mean play
oh, reading the bhagavad gita and the ashtavrakra gita helped me a lot
cool
many paths to the same summit
but i was very angry at all the suffering
i felt that we are helpless
and i was obsessed about free will for years
my second attempt at a degree was european studies
but i was depressed and nihilistic
and i had developed a social phobia
so i wasnt able to have normal interactions with people
and i my mind i was constantly thinking metaphysics
alleviate anger with compassion
now i just feel alive
i would say i feel pretty much like the ubermensch
when i first realized OI i tried to explain it
cool
but realized it was pretty much impossible
so i decided, i was still very identifid with my ego, that i would follow "the immortal man" philosophy
what happened to Freeman Dyson, as a kid, same thing, he realized no way!
which was to live my life in such a way that as i was gonna die i could say "ah, yet another life well lived"
but back then i had no idea at how fast everything would change
Wittgenstein, on his death bed: "Tell them I had a wonderful life."
when i was 12 i dreamt of being a genetic enginner
im a born transhumanist basically
but i suffered from extremely bad self esteem and pefectionism
and had no discipline and would give up as soon as i failed
i was constantly trying to estimate the cost benefit ratios
trying to figure out how likely i was to attain a given reward in relation to the effort involved
You can do it all - don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Addition without subtraction. Bad news: the human brain being is a machine. Good news: it's machines all the way down. A UNiversal Machine is a computer that can do absolutely any frigging thing in so far as it emulates all programs. The human brain is at least as good as.
i was also obsessd about figuring out the nature of inifinity
whether there is infinite suffering
whether choice matters
discipline is for nuns
i was appalled by the everett interpretation
coz if it is true and if infinity is boundless and unrestricted
just be, don't be afraid, keep doing it
then logic is just an illusion
one pattern among many
there are more logics than can be realized on your mainframe
ha ha
what i realize now is that reality is teleological
because cosnciousness cannot help but to develop self-awareness
the pattern of no pattern is logic
yeah, i think the fibonacci sequence shows that
btw
as much as to restrain it
have you read christopher langan's paper?
I don't think so, but maybe
if not then you should check it out
he has 200 iq
he is a real genius
okay where
and has some issues too
wait
its quite straining
i mean, the abstractions this guy can make are creazy
i gotta go pick up a joker costume for halloween
ill be back later. we can continue chatting or if not bye for now. and it was an honor finally get to speak to you
you might like The Divine Code, best book on fibonacci I ever read, but don't see it on my sehlf to tell you the author
or maybe it's the Divine Proportion
yes, that's it, by H.E. Huntley
great talking with you. Take care!
