Starting to think I'm the normal one and everyone else is crazy...
Think of the shareholders (it's time to start using physical force to stop people)

An LLM has been wrong?? That's incredible news- someone should share this immediately!
Meditative practices support this. Anyone who's spent even a moderate amount of time with meditation knows we are not our thoughts.

If you don't believe me, learn how to meditate, meditate for literally just 10 minutes, and come back to me.

Leaving a proxy email on my HN profile has given me tons of interesting messages, highly recommend it!
Sustained flooding the zone and abject denial over multiple years really is an unmatched cognitive warfare strategy isn't it. It's incredible how so many of us are tricked by something so primitive.

This sounds insane to say but...

does anyone else get the feeling this comments section is being subtly astroturfed to sabotage the spirit of good-willed idealism and innovation? Look closely, there's reasons the powers that have insane capital would do this.

They've done it to every other space already.

Also- everyone is a whore now, and not in the fun literal way.
I'd love it if someone went through all of the historic fairy tales and folklore and tried to validly link local psychoactive and hallucinogenic plants to them.

Fantastic article as usual from boston review! Genuinely some of the best writing out there.
Pedantic response that makes light of a real issue. In case you haven't noticed, not every "western" country is actually in the western hemisphere.

All these people know is greed. It's in their DNA.
God hn has so many projects that never go anywhere
At least we all know who western politicians are controlled by now and why they are really doing this.

Australia isn't like that- we're much more attuned to genuine hard work, and know it when we see it, along with knowing when we're being strung along. It's in our culture. We respect great people like this guy who do good work but choose to be humble.
Cocaine, crazy egos, and unchallenged mental illness will do that.
Except for the fact that modern design aesthetic has eliminated spaces with an uncontrolled and ambient vibe. Which makes this article bs.

Does "coping" in this situation mean having 75% of any western countries young population foreign born and erasing thousands of years of culture and history?
Communities like this have definitely been manipulated into complicity by establishment interests ie through media.
