I’m interested in seeing an answer to this, too.

For terpenes, please try Ajwain seeds. or pine-needles.

I prefer pine-needles: the ajwain seeds are just too strong.

Oh, maybe search PubMed for the specific plants you’re considering?

That might provide some medical research papers…

I’m of a kind of Vajrayana ( Tibetan AwakeSoulism/Buddhism ) which apparently died-out centuries ago.

( I’ve earned Soul/CellOfGod/Continuum memories from previous lives, in meditation: only 1 of those previous incarnations was human, the rest were mostly insects, like a hornet/bee/wasp probably in central Africa who saw a few humans )

it’s abstract.

All material-forms, all rituals, etc, are misleading, fundamentally.

OceanOfAllAwakeSouls/Brahman/G-D/EmitterOfUnconsciousSouls hasn’t any form.

The old testament had something on that: “commandment that no-one ever mistake any form for G-D”.

Carlos Castaneda’s guru “Juan Matus” spoke of the real Universe being abstract.

Basically, it’s Science/Engineering of one’s Continuum’s future-condition.

Want to be crushed under suffering more? Then crush others under suffering, & wait for the action->reaction, of the meanings emitted by one’s continuum eventually are forced back into one’s continuum.

Want to be liberated from reincarnation/Universe’s-recycling & all the perpetual cycle-of-birth-life-sickness-injury-death-bardo…birth…?

THEN all one has to do, is earn shedding SurfaceMind/ego duality ( which Castaneda’s tradition called “Crossing Over” & Buddhism calls realizing of Zen: same thing: ego-annihilation ), so only the 2 more-fundamental minds still are in-play,

then earn the dissolution of one’s LifeMind, which is our unconscious & our dreaming-mind, but it can be made fully conscious & capable…

Earning the dissolution of that leaves only the Soul/Continuum/3rdAttention ( as Castaneda’s tradition called it ).

Once that’s done, then one only has to purify it enough so that not-only is it free from Universe’s containment/perpetual-recycling, but it eventually gets from inside Universe to outside ( which is Enlightenment: dissolution into OceanOfAllAwakeSouls/GreatSpirit/Brahman/G-D/etc )

There are 3 kinds of mind which obliterator-force can’t understand, from our perspective:

• Wisdom-seeing-through-phenomena’s-lack-of-inherent-nature
• Faithing ( surrendering-to, relying-on, & being gratitude-for, LivingSpirit, one’s BuddhaNature, or other LivingInfinity/SoulGuru )
• Bodhichitta ( immeasurable compassion for all sentiences, incapable of insecurity. It’s what Yehoshua “Jesus” benJoseph meant when he said “be born in spirit”, as NOTHING else comes close to that sentience. I experienced it only for 1-1.5seconds, some years ago )

Anyways, it’s all self-evolution, eradication-of-the-ego/self, sublimation-from-ignorant-matter-to-pure-spirit, & that kind of thing…

Just providing this for a bit of perspective: most assumption-rivers/religions don’t hold that there is some mathematical-form/judo required for a someone to get from their current-condition to their desired improved-condition, but that’s essentially how mine works.

Current condition, desired condition, what is the geometry-of-intent which produces the alteration-of-one’s-unconscious-mind that one wants…

He understands.

So, East Germany, basically, with tech.

I’m suggesting you invest in reading a book on https://www.LeanPub.com called “Algebra-Driven Design”.

the reason I’m suggesting it is that the complex-requirements you’re being persecuted-by, are exactly the sort of thing that that book can help with.

( I’m presuming you code )

By creating the domain’s algebra, & using meta-programming, you can prevent whole categories of bugs.

I only got part-way into the book ( I’m braindamaged, & have beenfailing to learn programming since the 1980’s, when I lost 1/10th of my brain-volume ), but being able to create an APi with ZERO bugs in it, is part of what I’d seen in that book.

I’m a huge believer in keeping requirements divided into dimensions, & keeping those dimensions orthogonal, because once you fail in doing that, you’re fscking doomed.

Here: got the link for you:

Isn’t BeeHaw a virtual 3rd-Place??

To the best of my knowledge, back-propagation IS learning, whether it’s happening in a neural-net on a chip, or whether we’re doing it, through feedback, & altering our understanding ( so both hard-logic & our wetware use the method for learning, though we use a rather sloppy implimentation of it. )

& altering the relative-significances of concepts IS learning.

( I’m not commenting on whether the new-relation-between-those-concepts is wrong or right, only on the mechanism )

so, I can’t understand your position.

Please don’t deem my comment worthy of answering: I’m only putting this here for the record, is all.

Everybody can downvote my comment into oblivion, & everything in the world’ll still be fine.

You don’t have to do ANYthing in order to have copyright on your images.

That is standard throughout the Berne convention & has been for decades.

Registering makes court-cases easier to win, but having copyright on one’s renditions isn’t in any way requiring that one have registered anything with anybody.

Wasn’t there a competitor named Mattermost?

a FLOSS competitor?

1. insightful question,

2. it isnt just the internet, in case you hadn’t noticed, it is ALL civil-rights that are being gutted, in the enshittocene.

“once the infection has moved the ‘fulcrum’, the balance between the involuntary-host & the infection, far enough, it can then switch from symbiosis to totalitarian rampaging growth-at-any-cost, excluding-all-vital-functions, enforcing its parasitic & fatal consumption, killing the patient”

A tipping-point is being crossed, though it’s taking a few decades ( planets are slower than individual-animals, in experiencing infection ).

It’s our rendition of The Great Filter, in-which we enforce that we can’t be viable, because factional-ideology “needs” that we break all viability from the world.

Or, to be plainer, it is our race’s unconscious toddler setting-up a world-breaking tantrum, to “BREAK GOD AND MAKE GOD OBEY” its won’t-grow-up.

Read Daniel Kahneman’s “Thinking Fast & Slow”, & see how the imprint->reaction mind, Kahneman1 ( he calls it “System 1”, but without context, that’s meaningless ) substitutes easy-to-answer questions for the actual questions…

The more you read that book, the most important psychology book in the whole world, right now, the more obvious it is that Ideology/prejudice/assumption-river/religion/dogma is doing all it can to break considered-reasoning ( Kahneman2 ) from the whole world, and it is succeeding/winning.

“Proletariat dictatorship” the Leninists want, “populist dictatorship” the fascists want, religious totalitarianism, political totalitarianism, ideological totalitarianism, etc, it’s all Kahneman1 fighting to break considered-reasoning from the whole world, and the “disappearing” of all comments criticizing Threads from the Threads portion of the internet … is perfectly normal.

It’s simply highjacking of our entire civilization, by the systems which want exclusive dominion.

Have you checked your youtube account’s settings section, in the history section, to see what percentage of your comments have been disappeared??

Do it.

Everybody do it.

Discover how huge a percentage of your contribution to the “community” got disappeared, because it wasn’t what their algorithm finds usefully-sensationalistic, or usefully-pushing-whatever-they-find-acceptable.

I spent a few hours deleting ALL my comments from there, after seeing that around 1/2 of what I’d contributed had been disappeared.

There are a few comments now, but … they’ll be removed, either by yt or by me, soon.

No point in pretending that meaning is tolerable, anymore, you know?

Only fakery & hustle remains, for most of the internet, & that transformation’s going to be complete, in a few years.

1984, but for-profit.

Sorry for the … dim … view, but it’s been unfolding for a couple decades, & it’s getting blatent, fast.

https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1axll4s/reddit_files_to_go_public_reveals_that_it_paid/

• Spez got paid, according to that, $193,000,000 last year as CEO.

• reddit “never turned a profit”.

I can’t imagine the corruption/anti-integrity required to reconcile those 2 facts.

Anybody who wants to understand literature, you NEED to read John Truby’s 2 books ( which absolutely-obsolete Campbell’s “Hero With A Thousand Faces”, and oceans of other such books )

• “The Anatomy of Genres”
• “The Anatomy of Story”

IF you don’t understand the huge amount of stuff in them, THEN you don’t understand literature.

There are niggles: he thinks “village” means Wild West village, I think “village” means Tribal Village, as somewhere between 0.5 & 2 million years of history indicate, but such things are minor, compared with what he got right.

There is other stuff, ie things specific to languages/cultures that English cannot represent, e.g…

But those 14 Genres, those are the templates we form our mind on.

Please give yourself a huge gift, & read 'em.

Anybody wanting an equivalent for presentations, then Weissman’s “Presenting to Win” is the equivalently-spectacular one,

& anybody wanting an equivalent for editing, Coyne’s “The Story Grid” is the one.

https://www.TVTropes.org is also a required resource for understanding literature, though it is limitless & easy to lose days/years in…

My comment isn’t on your script, it is on paper-selection…

Please have several, orthogonal, selection-systems:

• most-cited,

• most trustworthy researchers

• most unique area of research, or most unique question, or something

• most central to new tech

• most central to old tech

• most undernoticed, big potential… ( things that should be big news, but the global novelty-addiction ignores it )

• best fundamental science ( definitely include this category! )

• best citizen-science

etc…

iow, the algorithm that most use, which is “paying attention to what others are paying attention to” is an algorithm we shouldn’t be assigning our viability to, you know?

Also, you may need to make a flexible-limit for dumbing-down, as some papers may have a higher limit and others a lower limit, so some could be easy for most to get the sense of, but some might be tricky … and it might well do more good to let them have their different thresholds, see?

2 comments:

• they said that it shows the emission of electromagnetic energy has the same cause, but didn’t explain what that cause is…

• they said that magnetars don’t emit energy all the time, so we had to catch them when they did emit: that is false: we have to catch them when they’re emitting at us, which is a very-different frame-of-reference.

Also, if the things are neutron-stars, then how the hell can they even have any electromagnetic field?

Neutrons are neutral.

It must be a crust of non-neutron protons & electrons, or the plasma swirling in, or something, that’s producing the electromagnetic field…

No need to bother commenting on anything I say:

just random thoughs flitting through a deteriorating old brain…

I do not look soft and cuddly!!

How dare you suggest such a thing, Hoomin!

( glowering Universally )

: P

I think part of the problem is simply that people are trying to figure-out what “good & proper boundaries” means, for them, and since nobody’s got themselves together

( our world is engineered to sabotage self-competence: the self-competent can’t be preyed-upon as completely or easily as the compromised, therefore self-competence isn’t permitted.

As John Taylor Gatto, a New York State award winning teacher told us, children with secure self can’t be manipulated, and therefore the education institution cannot tolerate children to have secure self.

Breaking them, so they are dependent on approval, is required, for institutional authority/security/dominion.

All the spyware that surveillance-capitalism does, the “panopticon” we bought our way into, is the same thing, but for-profit, and for-corporatism. A “designer prison”.

Comically, it’s fundamentally about competing addictions, with social-status being tied to sociopathy, in some corporate cultures. )

since nobody’s got themselves together, we’re all defective in doing relationship properly, because the fake relationship pushed on/in previous generations ( looking at the 1950’s for its fakeness, as the worst ) meant that their relationships were … often fundamentally ignoring & pretence based.

Try enduring a few minutes of “The Waltons” and see if you can stomach the “relationships” in it…

it was popular!

People believed in that, as hard as they could.

Getting bogusness out from ourselves has to happen in order for us to get it out from our relationships, right?

Well, it’s a messy process…

it is called “establishing ownership”.

Once their identity is consolidated that way,

then they can enforce their certain-in-their-own-unconscious ownership of Asia, through any violence necessary.

You can see equivalent self-dishonesty in the West, & you can see it in Modi’s delusion that Russia is going to help them against China, even through Russia is financially now a vassal-state of China…

Once the economy guts the Democrats in the US, losing them the 2024 election, & Trump guts NATO, backs Russia & Saudi Arabia,

what is going to protect Asia from China’s smashing it like they did Tibet?

7 years from Trump’s coronation ( in 2025 ) is all Asia has left, it seems.

Establishing ownership is fundamental to bullying, btw: rodents do it, sneaking into places at night, so that they feel righteous when fighting for “their” new territory during the day…

I hadn’t understood that bullying had both a yin/molesting/violating phase & a yang/overt-bullying phase until rodents taught me how it’s done…

The governments who push privacy-violating laws & systems, then later stomp civil-rights, they are demonstrating exactly the same Pattern.

The religions who push for “some” control of everybody’s life, relentlessly pushing for “a little more” authority, then once a tipping-point is crossed, suddenly they can switch from yin-bullying to yang-bullying … same thing.

It’s a really common pattern throughout human history, lately…
