Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta

@thef0X: Thanks for your response! It seems like what you are saying is that humanity is heterotelic by nature? It seems that you are defining "by nature" as "by result of the evolutionary process." Please tell me if I'm misunderstanding you? What is the evolutionary advantage in...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta

@guitarplayer: Does the pod come with any software? All recording software will act as a tape machine and allow you to edit what you've recorded digitally. After that it comes down to how much you like the software and what you're trying to do. I haven't used a free DAW for 20 years. I used Pro Tool...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta

thanks @7, as always your comments are appreciated! My sexual resilience has been rather low throughout my life. But, don't worry everybody, I have a "needs" spreadsheet where "sex" is highlighted in the color red, indicating low resiliency, so I'm working on it! I'm on a bit of ...

Re: 4th, 5th, 6th Person Perspective

I think if you build something that is cool, it will attract people. The hardest part of shit like this is: 1) attracting the right people and 2) managing inevitable conflicts because you're shirking the rules of conventional society that "most people" "mostly" understand. It's a...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta

"Ascent" and Reunion (Unseparation) "Ascent of Humanity" describes how humanity lost its way into the world of separation. Knowing this story allows us to generate ideas about how to unseparate. The idea of separation first proposes that we are all part of one thing at our core....

Re: ERE City (US)

I'm interested in setting up an ERE hub wherever I live. I have a ca$h money and some ideas to dedicate to the project. I can also move my house to the HQ (bc it is a bus). If anyone/ several people were seriously interested in it, I would begin immediately. The location for now would have to be New...

Re: grundomatic's journal

Let me clarify:

I think if video games perpetually induce a flow state, and do so without inducing any anxiety or tension, that it is fine to play video games every minute of every day for the rest of your life.

Re: grundomatic's journal

I recently read Saplowski's "Determined" which is him explaining why he believes there is no free will. I found the book to be a fun romp through pop-science, a well written murder mystery where science searches for a conscious spirit only to reveal itself as the killer. His basic thesis i...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta

@jacob: What I like about this book and this writer in particular is he'll offer an insightful and somewhat scathing critique of a deeply entrenched institution and then wrap it up with, "but this is how we all understand how to do this right now, so here's a few ways we could change things up ...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta

Thanks for the comments y'all. To clarify my previous statement, a lack of dependence is a problem for modern day communities. The solution is NOT forcing dependence. @jacob points out another reason modern communities face difficulties. Most people lack skills to be interdependent. I don't just mea...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta
