The goal is happiness. No one cares to live a long time being healthy if they are miserable.

Actually for me fasting was quick and easy. I lost most of the weight within weeks and months. Fasting is much more powerful than your comment would indicate.

They are opposites. You want to get bigger or maintain muscle mass and simultaneously you want to fast (get smaller) and lose mass. Fasting will definitely cause you to lose mass - some fat and/or muscle.

While working out or lifting will cause you to increase your need for calories and food intake. They are opposing forces. You cannot have it both ways.

Fasting = less mass less food intake. Lifting/muscle mass = more food intake more mass

Magic Mushrooms can absolutely be DMT like and users can have full blown life like hallucinations of entities or landscapes. Most people simply dont do enough and have a light experience. DMT is simply less forgiving in this regard.

Plenty of competing theories on the origins of humanity on a 4 billion year old planet some in which the origins of life came from elsewhere in the universe.

I think this may be the most recent evidence that modern science has discovered.

Perhaps you mean to say we wont dig up any fossils that say otherwise and that the case is closed?

As if the entirety of the fossil record on earth has been exhausted and we have nothing more to discover.

My agenda is to make sure we are being good scientists and not religious about our findings.

Religion is not science. It is a belief.

Do you believe it is in fact established? Science discovers new ‘facts’ all the time. To say definitively that humans first evolved here in the context of a 4 billion year old planet seems irresponsible at best.

“They live in the African savannah, which is where humankind first evolved”

We have some evidence to suggest that early humans were there but it is a huge assumption and leap of faith to make a statement like this with certainty. This statement is more likely a religious statement than one a good scientist would make.

A good scientist would not make such a bold assumption without putting it in quotes or a star next to it. You cannot make this statement definitively.

AWS console is one of the most poorly developed builder tools Ive ever encountered for a company like Amazon, from a UX perspective at least.

I may like some of the services like s3 but will never rely on AWS for anything more that that. Logging into the aws console makes my blood pressure go up.

Im not taking a stance on disease risk. Im simply pointing out that many people will. And it will favor remote work.

Polio, Monkey Pox, Covid variant x, environmental concerns, inflation. The office isn't coming back unless we fall into some dystopia where they force people back in.

People had a taste of life WFH during the pandemic. Overwhelmingly they loved working from home even though there were a minority who wanted a return to the office.

The hybrid model or remote work will be the only real possibilities going forward. Top talent does matter and is the edge that companies like Apple and Google use to stay competitive. They need that talent more that talent needs them. Plain and simple.

A meditator is a someone. That someone is a product of duality.

The wounds are part of the body and personality. They are not you.

To come out of the duality we can leave the meditation open. It doesnt have to take any particular form and it should have no goal in mind. Objectless. It is this sense of beingness or presence that is a true meditation. It is the sense of existence which is the background of every other thing itself not perceivable to the senses. It remains constant throughout while everything else fades.

You mean you find your feed to be a nice place.

To feign ignorance on the subject is silly and side steps the main criticisms.

No one is talking about your personal twitter feed here. They are referencing Twitter as a whole and its culture.

Censorship doesnt seem like a big deal if you agree with the side that is censoring.

Make it painful if they abuse the site.

We all benefit from open data. Polite scrapers are just fine and a natural part of the web ecosystem.

Google has been scraping the web all day every day for decades now.
