How advanced, or what types of advancement, would it take to convince you to get a cybernetic brain implant in the future?

-Substantially improves a major disability (blindness, paralysis, brain damage, etc)

-Boosts sensory abilities beyond normal (eyesight, hearing, etc).

-Boosts IQ or some other meaningful metric of intelligence and computation, thereby increasing your competitiveness in multiple fields. Becomes basically necessary for some fields due to many others doing it.

-Lets you enter VR with all five senses in a way that feels like 80-90% realistic but can be any environment/context. People make increasingly awe-inspiring virtual experiences/worlds, only accessible this way.

-Substantially increases the bandwidth with which you can interface with computers. Like, lets you download a ton of info quickly.

That's certainly an interesting thought, and a reasonable supposition, but it doesn't account for the lack of preppers who believe in a climate apocalypse. Would these city dwellers, given their extreme belief in an end of the world scenario, not vacate the city and begin a path of resiliance?

I have a question for the climate occultists.

Q. If you believe that we face an existential crisis, why are none of you preppers?

If you look at the prepping community on Youtube for example, none of them are climate occultists.

They might generate energy on-site, or engage in permaculture, but most, if not all of the climate occultists live incredibly affluent lifestyles, live in areas with a large population density, order everything off Amazon and Uber Eats, wouldnt last a day without an internet connection, couldn't light a fire to save their lives, let alone hunt for food, most are vegan and consider the herbs growing on their window boxes to be the height of food sovereignty . . .

They might scream about the apocalypse but their actions say otherwise.

I'll try to remember... 😅

It is, especially since I've got a monster hot take brewing in my head that I may just have to write out...

crying in the car right now…

Just dropped off the fourth grader. Last night he asked me to wake him up early so he can join me for my morning ceremony and meditation.

I didn’t even have to wake him up. He came downstairs and told me he had a dream about meditating and he’s so excited.

He was able to sit for a 15 minute meditation with me, filled with quiet ”woah”s and “omg”s .

Afterwards, when I asked him how it went… one of the things he said was “I asked my heart to beat faster if I’m lucky to have you teaching me these things. And it did. So to test it I told it to beat slower if it’s true. And it did again. I’m so glad to have you in my life, Laurel.”

Good morning ✌️🧡

Minimize fiat.

Good morning.

Avoid anyone and anything that resembles this example of what fiat has taken from us. nostr:note1wxvg0ktglzhjqnz4zerj7ca9su4gkvh42srzcwh9ncqstcpgvk7qnug4s3

Still Life with Pears No. 2 (2022)

Oil on 18 x 24 cm canvas paper

For this painting, I used the glazing technique on the left pear. Glazing involves diluting paint with a transparent medium, allowing light to pass through. It helped capture the subtle peel textures while preserving the color transitions beneath.

GM. I flip flop all the time between extremely unhealthy eating and drinking habits and perfectly healthy eating and drinking habits. Although I guess some would say occasionally skipping lunch and dinner is sorta healthy. But this morning I had a McGriddle, a Pepsi, 4mg of nicotine 200mg of caffeine, and 100mg of ltheanine for breakfast.

Most days for breakfast is just water and the stims.

Cold morning sunrise and coffee

Good morning & have a good day!

Not the same but works to make an idea
