Using the same logic, shouldn't a proclaimed top-notch company be able to embrace engineers w/ less than stellar skills? Who may have some "messiness" in how they work?

While I get why asking to view a codebase could come across as sounding like someone only wants to work on neat and tidy solutions, I don't hear it this way.

It's very normal and human to have preferences. It's OK for a prospective employee to ask questions about the working environment. There are a number of valid reasons to try and gain more in-depth signal on technical aspects of the company that don't mean someone is a snowflake.

There are a lot of ways to gauge this kind of signal without viewing a proprietary codebase, as others have mentioned in this thread. The questions posed in the comment you replied to are some great examples of how to do this - I think these get to the core of the matter more effectively than looking at code.

My apologies, I thought there was an edit where you said you firmly believed this.

Interesting point re: GA.

I hear that you are surprised.

I understand there is data that supports this theory; I wasn’t aware that it is definitive nor how easily it could be reproduced.

Before it was edited, your original statement framed certainty about cognition originating in chemistry as a personal belief. Which isn’t a scientific statement.

Have met and worked with many male chronic apologizers. I am a recovering one myself!

Interesting idea re: NPD/BPD in parents as a possible correlate. Connecting the dots in existing clinical research may agree.

While I completely agree with the point about exploring psychedelic medicine with support, I need to counter by naming that a lot of medical professionals may not be well informed and many are categorically mis-informed.

Please find a guide or therapist who has been formally trained in working with psychedelics, and who works closely with medical doctor if you have any medical concerns or questions. Or work directly with an MD if and only if that MD has had formal training with psychedelics.

The conventional career tracks in western mental health (MFT, Psy.D, licensed psychiatrist or psychologist) do not give someone authority about psychedelic therapy. These backgrounds can be a part of a facilitators work, but they also need formal training in psychedelic therapy.

These people exist and our numbers are growing steadily.

so well said.

there’s absolutely no reason, for example, as to why unitive consciousness as described in some Hindu philosophies would be in contradiction with our experience of cognition originating entirely within a chemical framework of understanding reality.

please share sources that definitively prove that all cognition is the product of chemical reactions?

everything on my apple computer is also backed up in the cloud. if something untoward were to happen to the machine, I would also be up and running in 5 mins or so after purchasing a new one. so I am not personally sure what you mean by saying that google shines in this dept. I don’t see any difference.

also, not sure if you meant this literally — would you please consider taking any destroyed computers to electronics recycling instead of throwing in the trash, if at all possible based on your location? these things contain stuff that’s not really desirable to go into landfills - heavy metals, batteries, etc

closed eye fractals can happen with either MDMA or ketamine alone, and they synergize with each other to create stronger effects.

so the presence of closed eye visuals on a mixture containing at least MDMA and ketamine would not in any way suggest that it necessarily contains any 2C-B.

Curious why you feel that the overlap between this audience and people receiving these treatments (or facilitators / therapists) would be zero?

I can state with complete certainty that trained, professional guides and clients in this kind of work are reading this article and this comment thread.
