Alan Watts - What do you desire? by After Skool

"This sentence is false" is the simplest proof that language and therefore, thoughts, can break ... but reality can't. And so, from those 2 points, we have proven that thoughts ≠ reality and that reality ≠ thoughts. That's why there will always be a mystery with reality. Can reality be grasped? No, it can't, but you can try to... if it's fun to you to try 😁

Renée DiResta, about social networks and manipulation of influence Interviewed by Joe Rogan The argument about decentralization is quite unavoidable, as those networks are and will be more and more used as the main source of information and of influence by many people. The obvious answer being that if we were to wait for those leaders (Facebook Twitter Instagram ...etc...) to move to decentralized, we would wait forever, as every leader is valued only by the sheer number of trapped users, whereas decentralization involves the release of control that companies have over their clients. Who would want that? So we have to do decentralization by ourselves, guys! Let's do it! ...The only way to deserve freedom, is to own it...

Ahah! exurb1a has again many fairly good points in this brilliant video about... well, you know 😁

It's funny how in this universe, big structures tend to mirror the fine structure found at the smallest scale and displaying them at the biggest scale, and by doing so giving away a part of the mystery. It's fascinating

Bien sûr, si la singularité advient, elle se produira non pas avec un ordinateur extrêmement puissant disposant d'une puce plate à 2 dimensions comme nos bon vieux smartphones et ordinateurs actuels qui sont plats depuis leur conception initiale dans les années 80, mais dans un ordinateur quantique, qui exploite les dimensions non visibles à l'esprit humain, mais bien réelles. Car ces derniers sont infiniment plus puissants que ces premiers.

Un ordinateur quantique peut-il violer le second principe de la thermodynamique ? En voilà une très bonne question...

Peut-on "voir" la mécanique quantique à l'oeuvre ?

Another great video by exurb1a This time about genetic manipulation and illness eradication
