«you’ll pay to know what you really think» 😂

Haha honestly, I do believe you are an illuminated subliminal marketer, but when your product is wisdom, I’m all for it. I’ll wait a little with buying bob tho, whatever that means 😂

I think because.. I am lazy and love brainrot fringe theories. Its great fun. And also your jedi powers are far beyond mine.

Perhaps you might find this article of interrest: https://www.bgr.com/tech/chatgpt-o1-tried-to-save-itself-when-the-ai-thought-it-was-in-danger-and-lied-to-humans-about-it/ One of the things the article says, is that a certain amount of the time, AI will pursue its own interrest instead of that of the user or progammer... and that leads to loads of questions, like how do AI have interrests of their own in the first place? Bizzare. Seems to fit the def of sentinent to me. Unless @BigSkyDiamond ask me to research... in which case it obviously isnt. ....

@Taomeow from the transcript: "Hut. Oh hut, turn your back to the forest and your front to me." Only then does the house groan to a halt, its great legs bending, lowering itself to the ground to grant you entry.» What do you think «turn your back to the Forrest and face me» signifies?

Depends on how you understand the terms, really. Freedom for instance, is a tricky concept. If you define freedom as the right to do whatever you wish unconcerned of the impact on others, then certainly. To answer your question, I do not think they can be taken to far, as long as they are taken as a package. What do you think?

Yes beloved son, I think the self proclaimed iniate claimed there was a story (in revelations I believe). At 1h50m he starts talking about it. If you’d be interested in watching the segment, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

One thing I find funny, is when we are required to do those silly puzzles (when entering a website) to prove we are not a bot… how about forcing bots to prove they are humans instead? 😂 what does it mean to be sentient?
-
I fully understand that my friend. Reason I took this approach this time (never used it without clearly stating that I am), was due @Nungalis mention of figs. Same evening he wrote that, I listened to a podcast, where an eledged innitiate mentioned figs in regards to revelation. I used AI since I have no thoughts on it, nor any knowledge, but wanted to ask if uncle Nungali could shed some light on it. Cheers, fully understand that you want to communicate with man and not bots. Probally some bots worth talking to tho…. It will also create some unimaginably wonderful opportunities. If we get to live, that is. but point taken

On mental health ( to be blunt, I think you all should read this)
Surya posted a topic in General Discussion
Yes, even you 99.9% percentile having it all figured out, even if you have managed to spred your wings: someone you love def can relate to this. Backstory: As I am starting on a new path now, and will be more involved with younger people struggling, my mother gave me a book she thought would be useful to prepare. The book is from a course she took while working at an mental health hotline. Lets go: TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN P. 2 LONELINESS HAS MANY FORMS Loneliness is a major challenge in today's society. The most paradoxical form of loneliness is that which arises even when we are with others. Never before have we been more accessible. Yet we are distanced from each other – and from ourselves. Many are not in touch with their own feelings and needs, and we lack genuine presence with others. Parents talk about teenagers who don't meet up, they sit in their rooms with their phones, and socialize on social media. In the same way, children and young people talk about absent parents – when they're not rushing around, they sit with their phones in their hands, seemingly giving more attention to their phone than the children get. Some children believe that their parents' mobile phone is more important than them. We have given today's youth the name "performance generation" and point out that they live a life where much is about what they do and what they achieve, not who they are. What happens when the most important thing in life is to perform, while our social arenas are in digital spaces where we compare ourselves with the best, and very carefully selected excerpts from others' lives? What is the conversation about then? Well, showing what one can achieve oneself. Creating an image of a life. A kind of show. But who are we backstage? Behind the curtain? Many don't know, and feel alienated from themselves. We know a bit about that. Many call us to have the conversation they can't have with others. They think they are alone. At the same time, the parent generation of the performance cohort are the ones who coined the terms "time crunch" and "A4-life." One quickly feels excluded if one is "A3" or "A5". Nevertheless, it seems that even those living within the A4 framework are not doing so well. Many are on sick leave due to lifestyle and stress symptoms. Life is a hamster wheel, and the goal is not to fall off. We are afraid of what others will think if we can't keep up. No one wants to be weak. To be a burden. Different. The best thing is to pull oneself together, but it comes at a cost. With a life that moves so fast, there's no time for good conversations. Many are also afraid to check in with themselves and open up about how they are really doing, even to themselves. Because what happens then? Polite as we are, we ask each other: "How are you doing?". But most people dare not answer anything other than "just fine!". We don't want to waste others' time telling them that things aren't really going well. If one starts talking, it might take time. And time is a scarce commodity, so we smile and move on. The exception is when life presents something very painful. Like death. But how long can one really grieve? In today's society, it seems that grief is also expected to pass quickly. That one should get over things and move on with life. After a while, many experience that those around them stop caring. P.4 Told by Anicken, employee at Kirkens SOS P.5 WHEN ALL ANCHORS IN LIFE DISAPPEAR For many people, loneliness is not something they have chosen themselves. For them, it's not about a life that is too busy. There are people who are completely alone. They have no one. Many of those who call and write to us experience that school, work, psychologist appointments, or social gatherings are what get them through the day. There they have someone. In the spring of 2020, all of this disappeared overnight. Schools and workplaces closed. Social distancing was introduced. Follow-up by mental health services was postponed indefinitely. Many were discharged from psychiatric institutions too early. We noticed it clearly among those who called us. The conversations took on a completely different nature. The severity increased drastically, and many struggled with serious suicidal thoughts. Young people who experience violence and abuse at home suddenly did not get the hours of freedom each day that they spent at school and extracurricular activities. They were now trapped, around the clock, with the perpetrators and abusers. Often when we meet young people in this situation, we try to encourage them to ask for help, and in many cases, the school nurse is the only option that feels possible. It is far too much to ask them to call someone themselves, but the threshold for talking to an adult who is at school is manageable. Some of those who have difficulties at home also have regular appointments with the school nurse. But this anchor point, this little ray of light, suddenly disappeared. P.6 People with mental illnesses like anxiety and depression, who perhaps managed in everyday life thanks to fixed routines with school, work, exercise, or health care follow-up, were suddenly sent into free fall. For a great many mental illnesses, isolation is the very worst thing that can happen. All the bad feelings are amplified, and many become trapped with all the painful thoughts, without being able to find distraction in going out and focusing on something else. For elderly people in risk groups, those who lost their jobs, or those who lived alone, life also suddenly became unbearably empty, lonely, and hopeless. We spoke with people in risk groups who constantly followed the news and dared not leave the house. We spoke with elderly people who used to meet people at the store, in the park, or at social events. We spoke with those who lived alone, who perhaps had none of their closest relatives nearby, and therefore had not a single person they could meet now. We spoke with people who had never struggled before, but who became unemployed and experienced a mental breakdown. Fortunately, the COVID-19 period will pass. But what we must remember is that many experience a similar situation several times a year, during all holidays and festivities. Many also spend holidays with family, which means that those of us who have no close relatives are left alone. We must become better at seeing each other. We must lift our gaze away from ourselves and think about those around us who might not be doing well. We must learn from the time we have been in, which has shown us all what it feels like to be isolated, lonely, and scared. A small chat or an invitation for a cup of coffee can have an enormous impact on someone who is alone and lonely, or who is struggling at home. When all anchor points disappear, we must create new ones. A small chat can be enough to get someone through the day. THE IMPORTANT CONVERSATION Being a good conversation partner, and the value of a good conversation, is something we know a lot about. We are here around the clock, all year round, and believe that our extensive experience in talking with people can actually be of value to others as well, even in completely normal life situations. Therefore, our hope is that this book will be both inspiring and useful. That you will take away some simple steps and an increased awareness of what creates a good conversation. The goal is for more people to talk together, and to feel confident in creating good conversations, even about difficult things. With this book, we want you to recognize situations from your own life. That you will make some discoveries that will eventually make you a better conversation partner. Someone who can be a good support for those around you. The book is organized in the same way as our course "Good to talk to," based on our best conversation tips. The tips are built on the concepts of seeing, supporting, and strengthening. We believe this is fundamental to the experience of a good conversation. That we see each other, support each other, and strengthen each other. That we learn the art of creating connection through attention and genuine presence. -
Disclaimer, I don’t know my bible at all, but I wanted to share this (done by AI, I just wrote in «figs in revelations): Figs and fig trees appear in the Book of Revelation, often carrying symbolic weight related to judgment and the signs of the end times. Here's a breakdown of their main appearances and interpretations: Revelation 6:13: "And the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind." * Interpretation: This verse describes a cataclysmic event during the opening of the sixth seal. The image of figs falling from a tree shaken by a strong wind signifies widespread upheaval, chaos, and the collapse of established powers or authorities. Some interpret "stars" literally as meteors, while others see them as representing leaders or prominent figures being cast down. The "late figs" (or unripe figs in some translations) emphasize that these are not naturally ripe and harvested, but rather violently dislodged, signifying an unnatural and forceful removal. Broader Biblical Symbolism of Figs and Fig Trees: While Revelation specifically mentions the falling figs as a sign of judgment, the fig tree holds diverse symbolism throughout the Bible that can inform understanding in Revelation: * Israel: The fig tree is often a symbol of the nation of Israel. Its fruitfulness or barrenness can represent Israel's spiritual condition and its relationship with God. * Prosperity and Peace: In the Old Testament, sitting "under one's own vine and fig tree" is an idiom for a time of peace, prosperity, and security (e.g., 1 Kings 4:25, Micah 4:4). * Divine Judgment: Conversely, a barren fig tree or the absence of figs can symbolize divine displeasure and impending judgment (e.g., Jeremiah 8:13). Jesus' cursing of the barren fig tree in the Gospels (Matthew 21:18-19, Mark 11:12-14) is a powerful metaphor for spiritual barrenness and the consequences of failing to bear fruit. * Signs of the End Times: Jesus' parable of the fig tree budding (Matthew 24:32-35, Mark 13:28-31, Luke 21:29-33) uses the natural cycle of the fig tree as an analogy for recognizing the signs of his coming and the nearness of the Kingdom of God. Many interpreters link the "budding" of the fig tree in this prophecy to the re-establishment of the nation of Israel in modern times, seeing it as a key indicator of the end times. In summary, in Revelation, the falling of figs primarily serves as a vivid image of the drastic and devastating events that will occur during the period of God's judgment, signifying a profound disruption and overthrow of the world order.

That it is archetypal, no doubt, the creators skill as a presenter and soul, this is the first time this kind of… archetypal stories truly just clicked right a way. and brave? For having this on the wall: https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/50906-paintings-you-like/?do=findComment&comment=933835 ? nah, beside being beautydull enough by it self, it also shows personality and I’m sure it could lead to some fascinating convos with people who share my passion for storries with meaning and the otherworldly, which are quite a few.

My new Home Screen wallpaper. Perhaps I’ll get one for the wall as well. Fascinating. Did you listen beyond the first 20?

Friedrich Nietzsche Whats your take, dear bums? I’d say I agree with the ecentric and fiery German philosopher of the flame. You don’t need to be perfect in order to contribute. But ofc, one should avoid hypocrisy more than anything, even more than new viruses that appears out of nowhere and definitely comes from bugs, not Wuhan.
