I recommend getting an old trailer, making it light-tight, having read the sattipathana sutras, a basic qi gong manual. Letting awareness unfold in the fertile darkness. It'll take -a week, plenty of water, electrolytes, bucket for shit. I call it
"Airstreamlined Entry"
It took me ~14 years to learn how to meditate. I feel like this process could've been streamlined, somehow…

There’s a consistent theme among cluster b people (BPD/NPD) when it comes to their accusations and framing of you. The lightbulb for me was realizing that their perception of you is *built* through their own projections. When they talk about you, they are talking about themselves.
Normal, well-adjusted people build an idea of who you are through tangible evidence. That evidence comes from observing you and engaging with you over time. Cluster b people do the exact opposite. When they interact with you, they create and manufacture evidence *in order to* frame you a certain way. Everything with them is backwards.
This is a sophisticated feature of their illness, because it’s a trap. Their (abusive) tactics cause you disorientation/confusion, and their distorted framing forces you to take a defensive position. You don’t know what’s happening (yet), so you feel compelled to defend yourself or explain.
They project onto you, while *protecting* themselves using DARVO. This combination takes the focus off them. They get to accuse you of being who they are and doing what they’re doing, which allows them to get away with the smear campaign uninterrupted. This is how they cause maximum damage.
I always know when I’ve encountered a narcissist because they all look at me the same way. And that is, they see me like they see themselves. They project themselves onto me. Like they automatically assume that I am a dishonest person or that I’m abusive or whatever and it’s a trip because that’s like their baseline. That’s how they basically view everyone. But when someone like myself who is genuinely honest and compassionate, they assume that I must be lying about it or being manipulative because they don’t understand that people actually are genuinely honest and compassionate. They think I must be trying to deceive people.
And it always trips me out that they are that incapable of even understanding people like me, like us, compassionate, good people.
And it’s ironic because for me, it’s the complete opposite. I can’t understand dishonest people. I don’t understand people who don’t consider other people’s feelings. I don’t understand these fucking people. I don’t know how they can be so incredibly selfish and detached from humanity. Like do they think they’re the only ones here? Do they think dishonesty is a smart way to live?
Listen here narcissists, I am NOTHING like you. You don’t know me, and you can’t understand me. I grew up valuing honesty and seeing how many people chose not to value it and it became more important to remain honest and morally responsible to lead by example. I don’t want to see humanity turn into a shit hole of evil people lying and stealing from each other. And if that means getting trampled on by evil people because I choose to stick with honesty and morality, then I will die like that to show how important it is that we choose good over evil. That we choose strength over carelessness. That we choose humanity over ourself.
And that’s why I don’t respect narcissists. We are opposites.

Normalize “simply would not break vows” as an expectation for marriage
(I support negotiating ENM or whatever, or breaking up if you’re deeply unhappy in the marriage - but imho if you want to live in a virtuous world/community then you do those things *before* you sleep with someone else. Why do so many people act like cheating is ok. it is so incredibly sad)

I made a LW post: "Eyesight as a replicator, with genes as its vehicle." It's mostly evolutionary biology, but I'm interested in it for... deep philosophical reasons I don't fully get to in post, to do with understanding what we creatures are, that isn't "optimizers."

the core skill needed to gain and hold political power in a competitive ecology is the ability to disrupt rival coordination.
hence atomization is a natural outcome of democracy (any voluntary association is default dangerous to the elite) unless State power is sharply limited
i am sitting on a couch rn. care to earn to me why I should care before these idiots sweep away the crows poetry?

BOURDAIN: Once you’ve had acorn salad and damson cordial at Redwall Abbey you’ll never stop wanting to crush Cluny the Scourge with a bell.
POV: You encounter a final boss of dating discourse and she drops the mic so hard it ends your honor/ hardcore mode run and you wake up back in the first level with tinnitus lol
My romantic history gets discussed by a lot of people on the internet, and sometimes the takes are so surprising to me. Many aspects of my life must be more unusual than I think they are? Here are some facts that seem to surprise people who like to pontificate about me. I also think this is why a lot of the Discourse doesn't speak to me:
- Most of my adult life has been spent in LTRs. When I meet men I really like, I have generally not had trouble "getting them to commit" to an LTR since I was in my late teens, (even though I tend to "put out" early). Not saying I'm some kind of femme fatale who always gets the man she wants, but this has usually been my experience. As a result, a problem I've often had has been filtering and prioritizing guys who wanted an LTR.
- I haven't wanted to filter on wealth or whatever, so I haven't. There are multiple guys I've broken up with, or didn't want a second date with, who are billionaires now, but I wouldn't go back and do things differently because even though they were bummed when I ended it, we just weren't a match. It's weird to me when people suggest I'm a gold digger or something - like, if I were one of those then I'd have a lot more money
- prior to that, I was an awkward and chronically bullied "ugly duckling" sort of girl. People who meet me now are often shocked to learn this, but I went from no one wanting to date me (high school) to everyone wanting to date me (college), pretty much overnight.
- in retrospect, it feels obvious to me now that the combination of these traits/experiences left me extremely vulnerable to men who are willing to aggressively pursue, because they do a great job "jumping the stack" and it feels great to be pursued (especially because I spent my formative years as an ugly duckling). Almost all (not all!) of my relationships that were highly problematic started with men who fell for me extremely hard and chased me extremely hard.
- I have spent a lot of time in alt communities where "body count" is just like... not a thing. My so-called "body count" is for sure high compared to like, the national median, but the last two times I discussed it with actual men I was dating within my community, they were shocked by how *low* it is (it's under 50). Some guys I know actually make fun of me for this
- a lot of people make claims about "what men want," especially conservatives, but I will note that (as documented widely in the media) my experience of meeting one of the most famous redpill male writers in the country was that, within months, he was insisting that he wanted to marry me and bought me an engagement ring. And this was in my late thirties!
I don't know if I'm a very unusual case or if all of this demonstrates problems with the Discourse, but all of these factors make me feel like most "dating advice" is profoundly alien to my experience

i don't think you realise just how whitepilling this is.
consider: malfoid is now slated to become the first thing to come into anyone's mind when thinking "harry potter + ai".

I have to say that watching Opus 5 and Sol 5.6 fumble slay the spire plays has been quite a cold shower.
They are so dumb, and we are so early. We are nowhere near general intelligence, and we already have a revolution in our hands.
Maybe the most retwrded take I've seen on this site in months tbh
I am so tired of seeing these posts.
I am so tired of seeing my beloved field of study be the testing lab for a technology that is disrupting everyday life at such a high pace.
Mathematics were always about the beauty of seeing the ideas of a person unfolded in an extremely precise language so we can all look into a mathematician's mind and see their purest form of ideas, their understanding of a problem, their style, their way of communicating to other fellow researchers through mathematical results... this often transcends the common language humans use to communicate with each other and it is incredibly exciting to bump into shared ideas another person had thousands of kilometers away several years ago without even knowing them.
I am extremely unexcited about AI-breakthroughs in Mathematics in the same way I am extremely unexcited about a picture created by AI or an AI-generated video, not to speak about AI-generated text. Mathematics requires soul and intention. Mathematics need not be useful by definition, Mathematics are pure art that need hard work and effort to understand. The high you get when a year of work gets condensed in a one-page result is incomparable to anything else and, certainly, a machine is not apt to relate to humans in such a humane way.
I am not interested in the truth of the results. I am interested in how was the mind behind a result able to connect those dots. I am interested in the diversity human thoughts bring to Mathematics. I am not interested in a bunch of servers running probabilities to return a Theorem, even if true: that lacks the objective of Mathematics as I see them.
