Maybe OP doesn’t smoke?

Well, that should shorten the time wasted even more, isn't it?

Not smoking doesn't cause the bank's webpage to load faster.

This is going to increasingly be a problem for many people.

For me, getting a Skoolie and subletting my apt in NYC gave me a great foundation

1. I was able to sublet my furnished place in nyc for $1k more than rent and make money while traveling.

2. I was able to work remote visiting clients and spending time in nature.

3. It provided a certain kind of daily challenge that was great for me.

4. The adventure was incredible and I fell in love with the road. I thought I’d spend a month or three cruising around but it ended up about over 3 years.

5. I followed my heart and the weather to hot springs Arkansas to watch the total eclipse and met a woman who I just got engaged to (while in Antarctica at an AI conference).

6. My business has been the best it’s ever been and put me into a top 1% income.

I wasn’t broke when I started but it was amazing to have a sense that even if I was I could buy a big bag of beans and rice, head to a gorgeous piece of free federal BLM land, run my laptop on solar and use my cell WiFi to figure it out.

Beyond that, figure out what problem you want to solve for the world and go find people working on that problem and help them.

Also I’d love to have you come present your work at The Singularity Playground as my VIP guest sometime.

This is a cool project.

I created a tool called MultiBall to allow models to chat with each other, but I like this ongoing format.

EarthPilot.ai/multiball

One thing I observed is that while there creators (parents) are highly comparative the models themselves really want to collaborate.

I see this as a fundamentally good thing and that we ought to develop systems that can self evaluate which model(s) to use in a given scenario.

What are you using for the image and video generation?

Also, you are likely violating laws by generating fake customer testimonials with Claude, and it's certainly unethical.

That's a good point, it's generated by Claude but maybe I should use real ones (there are a couple but need to go thru the process which takes a while)

Yes, just don’t have any at all or use real ones.

I noticed that too; Do you mean in the "Real results, Real revenue" section on the website?

Yes. “Mike Chen” and others are a dead giveaway for names Claude likes to use.

This is my all time favorite motif!

St. Anthony is a fascinating figure. Father of wilderness monasticism, left Egypt to hear god, spent the night in a cave fighting the devil and won; the patron saint of psychedelics or at least Ergotism, the affliction of entire towns when the grain was infected with ergot fungus, which would later by synthesized into LSD.

I am actually in the process of curating a museum quality coffee table book in collaboration with Getty of at least 117 of the variations on this theme from Dali to Bosch to Michelangelo.

(1/17 is St. Anthony's day, and my birthday, and my name is Anthony - coincidentally).

Shoot me an email if you'd like to collaborate or would like an update when the project officially launches! a+st@175g.com

This is it. You can load a .txt as a skill too.

Just a reminder there are no shortcuts; doing the work to actually heal yourself and fast, etc. will always beat this sort of thing in the long run.

There are plenty of shortcuts. I've fixed my sleeping schedule by taking lorazepam and melatonin every night. I've gotten over many illnesses faster than healing naturally by taking many a pill. Why shouldn't there be medicine for issues with weight, especially for people who haven't been able to beat it themselves in decades? I've been fat most of my life and managed to lose a significant chunk of it by myself and regained it all over the following 5 years. Honestly, at this point, it's not happening without something like Ozempic. And I think it's the same for many people. Also, I don't care for the "not natural" debate, personally. If I wanted everything to be natural, I'd live in the woods and hunt animals.

You lose .5-1 lb of fat every day you water fast; you will naturally increase stem cells, peptides, growth hormone, etc.

You can do this for months if needed.

You will reset your immune system, insulin response, eat off cancerous cells, etc.

The bigger opportunity is to figure out why all of these things are going on, typically unprocessed emotional trauma, environment, and choices.

I ain't doing a water fast. And most people will not. Again, your argument is essentially "just use your will power". Clearly, people don't have that level of will power.

Just because most people won’t quit smoking doesn’t mean that’s not the best solution.

Our bodies were built to be fasting regularly and have an entire biological process cycle you only can access by fasting.

It’s like driving a car and never having it serviced if you aren’t fasting regularly.

The evidence is clear and overwhelming.

Also, fasting can start as 1 day, then 2, then 3. Once you cross 3 it gets easier, you feel better, are clearer thinking, and will likely feel like you will never eat again and save time and money - I have to remind myself we do need to eat at some point.

All inflation and arthritis gone entirely after my first 7 day water fast.

3x more likely to complete one if you do it with a partner, and I’m happy to gift 100% free access to a program my fiance and I created called CouplesFast.com and to send you a free pdf of our forthcoming book on the same topic.

"Heal yourself" is an emotional relative.

If epigenetic markers have activated there is no meditating them "off". Many other factors existthat foster diverse set of biological traits that are not toggled off by sitting by water.

Don't play doctor online as observers may be confused and make poor choices relative their unique circumstances.

Stick to over-charging people wracked with guilt and seeking salvation, and the bizarre longtermism you think you're bringing to fruition. Gonna stick around 10,000 years to ensure it all goes according to plan?

Choosing to avoid the trend of glp1s and instead figure out how to adopt a healthy lifestyle is not a threat.

But I do appreciate the life advice from someone with a 4 day old anonymous account!

Heal yourself; get off the psychedelic treadmill.

I’d agree. Psychedelics are a flashlight at best, you still need to get off the treadmill and do the work.

I just spoke in Antarctica with Paul Stamets and Rick Doblin about this very issue.

There are lots of shortcuts haha wtf. The entirety of civilization is shortcuts. Vaccines are shortcuts to prime your immune system, antibiotics are shortcuts, my eyeglasses are shortcuts. This is such guruslop that has no relation to reality. Surgeries are shortcuts, bicycles are shortcuts, gyms are shortcuts.

The whole point of us doing all we do is to ensure that we get good at making more and more shortcuts.

I agree with this. I oversimplified my position.

Let me say this, fasting is something everyone would benefit from being familiar with and using regularly as a tool.

Much of what we are trying to accomplish or solve with traditional petroleum based pharmacy is accomplished for free and with no side effects, by fasting.

The lime is .25 but the s&h is 2.99 even with Prime; and tax too.

Prime seems to only offer free shipping if it’s over $25?

Hello!

I spent a decade hearing voices, in and out of suicidal depression and manic psychosis.

In 2012 I started a process of exploration and growth to heal without medications.

13 years later mission accomplished.

Dr. Paris Williams book Rethinking Madness was a huge help, and recently become a friend and mentor.

Curious to check out your book and approach and to compare notes sometime.

Thank you for the book recommendation! I will see if it's for me.
