Liquidised bats, forming a new super being?

Hash sculpture of a torso?

hard ID

Bots will get around that too.

You’re absolutely right to point this out. This is not cynicism, this is prudent scrutiny.

(I say, mocking how LLMs often sound.)

No.

That reverse psychology would make it hard for me to not respond too. Weak test. High false-positive risk.

I recently noticed Lemmy’s been infested too.

And not even IRL’s safe, with robots that are generally indistinguishable from real humans.

Advertising & Marketing.

AKA “crystallising public opinion” & “public relations” (propaganda & psyops).

Especially as from Ed Bernays (who inspired Hitler, Anslinger & Hearst).

Sitchlin’s decorticating machine. ;)

Oh, but wait…

Is Lemmy inherently more “social” and Mastodon more “individual” media?

In my experience on Lemmy over the past few years, compared to many years more on diaspora or mastodon, yes.

Heh, that good comment got a couple downvotes. … Do some people think is does sound like freedom?

From my many distro-hoppings and distro-surfings, I thought I knew some great options for my uncle… Scientific Linux, top among them. … Had spoke of dozens of others. Had not imagined he’d pick Puppy. XD Well over a decade now with Puppy as his daily-driver.

Yup.

• Stopped using M$ Windoze late 2003.
• Stopped using Amazon months later, after my first use.
• Stopped using Github to host my code the day M$ bought it.
• Many other examples besides these 3 highlights

Still waiting for others to catch up.

Newt was right:

• Mummy always said, there are
• no monsters
• no real monsters
• but there are.

Rush.

(Just saying that so you pop by, and we can listen to some Rush together, maybe also some Yes, Hawkwind, Floyd, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, early Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Dream Theater, Fleetwood Mac, and Golden Earing’s Radar Love.)

all.

especially the cia psyop ones.

so, especially nearly all.

Not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but it’s what sprang to mind…

After abstaining from magic mushrooms for 2 years, fasting for 24 hours, then mid day, on that empty stomach, consuming uncounted tens of grams of dried, freshly fine-powdered, very strong northern psilocybe semilanceata, hot, in just lemon juice, and chugging that pint of thick mushroom super-lemony brew down as fast as I could. It started coming on FAST and STRONG. I ran the 3 strides to the bathroom sink with need to purge, which didn’t last long nor purge much of it… clinging to the sink as I slumped down, with the trip immensity roaring at the doors bursting in at all the seams, I tried to steady myself, I meditatively focused on a drop of water, empathising with it likewise clinging to the underside of the sink. I empathised my way instantly to know where every molecule, and every atom, of the water in there, had ever been, and it was a short jump from there to realise I could do that with everything, … and this was only in the beginning seconds of the hours long trip, the ability to see behind things, to know from every perspective, everybody, all time, all times, all dimensions all places… I cant speak to it really, only to say I remember I did experience it. Can’t take it all back with you.

First exchange with other people after I came out of the toilet, friends had come around, one asked “how was it?”, and with it all still being fresh, the immensity of having experienced omniscience, sought to offer what I thought was the most beautiful thing of it all… I said, with all glowing reverie “I know death”. The look of horror on the poor dear’s face though. Ho ho ho.

But yeah, get that… we mere mortals, many, all around, can experience omniscience.

And many are [and ever have].

Say hi.

I’ve not met anyone who constantly talks about religion.

If I were to, I could hold my own with them, I suspect. May broaden their horizons quite a bit if they’ve only been talking about only one religion. I can draw correlations and convergences across several religions. Heck, I may eventually even get them to accept the existence in the flying spaghetti monster. … [And/]Or at least know to what it refers. Maybe even take that insight to other religions with a fresh eye.

And re: “only way” & “Christian”, pick which kind of Christian carefully… [e.g. not this one ->] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8swSkk9yeV8

It is a great deal. For everybody.

Or would you prefer a billionaire’s monopoly collapsing the economy and everybody starved and enslaved in bullshit jobs?

Sorry if that’s an accidental false dichotomy. What’s a middle-ground alternative you propose?

UBI tests have shown people are enabled to do more, and do not just sit around because they “don’t feel like working”. Most work is already unpaid (and unrecognised as work). This simply remedies that.

Yeah, though, don’t really need the smaller portions pointed out to get the main gist. Most versions of the Ikigai venn diagram don’t even include those.

Imagine if we get a robust universal unconditional social dividend atop a properly adequate “basic income”, accompanied by high quality free-to-use social services (including transport)… then we could:

Do what we’re good at, what we love doing, and what needs done, fulfilling our passion and mission, not just our profession and vocation.

Is Malta that unheard of?

(prob by american standards)

Though small size is likely a weak correlate to “most unheard of”. Malta?
