More health advice from the Buddha:

"Mendicants, there are five benefits of walking meditation. What five? You get fit for traveling, fit for striving in meditation, and healthy. What’s eaten, drunk, chewed, and tasted is properly digested. And immersion gained while walking lasts long."

What if you can whip up a righteous fervor of hatred against them? Maybe that would win more votes on net?

I actually do have a problem with the elected officials pandering. I think if they stopped doing it, got more realistic and held the stupid useless ruraloids to account things might actually start to change in this country.

It's cool, AI is going to destroy all employment right on schedule so it won't be an issue

Implication: obviously, a rock cannot be conscious, because it lacks the qualities you associate with consciousness, which are X, Y, Z. If you started actually listing them, you'd have to admit they are probably shared by an LLM.

Once again, we are failing to follow the logic here.

We must destroy the ruraloids by any means necessary

Vacchagotta: "But does Master Gotama have any convictions at all?”

The Buddha: "A Realized One has done away with convictions."

What's your strong minimum necessary criterion for consciousness

That gentleman might try hard, strive, and make an effort, but fail to earn any money. If this happens, they sorrow and wail and lament, beating their breast and falling into confusion, saying: ‘Oh, my hard work is wasted. My efforts are fruitless!'

Crazier things have happened *shrug*

Right. This is what I call the inverse Dunning-Kruger. Highly intelligent people consistently overestimate the intelligence of the average person. It's a real blind spot for them. They simply can't imagine that other people don't think like they do.

Lucifer lou

Hot take: this is the problem with all of Christianity in general, and the incoherence of forgiveness. In Buddhism, you suffer the effects of your negative karma no matter what.

What do you mean "we", kemosabe?

Don't tell the AA front organizations that set addiction policy in this country, they'll try to ban it!

Oh no, not religious intolerance!

Are they perhaps too big

Is that a trick question

I thought these were diagrams of cellular anatomy

Only the Claude logo is an abstract butthole. The ChatGPT logo is an obfuscated Magen David. The Gemini logo is one of the astroids from the Steelers logo.

oh you want people to practice right speech? what's next, right conduct? seems like a dangerous slippery slope
