@dander I assume so, but I ran out of "credits' for the day, so I can't generate any more waifus
@ButtWorldsMan I was isolating the variables to see which factor was most impactful.
So I've concluded another experiment with fasting and supplementation.
I previously found that fasting without supplements was not effective.
Last week I tried supplements, but while fasting, ate a lot of carbs like pizza, ice cream, etc. I wanted to see how much that plays a role.
I gained 3 pounds, so you need to you do all three. You need to fast, limit carbs, and take supplements for insulin resistance. If you don't do all three, you won't succeed.
@Pain66 women will fuck their dogs, but won't even give a lonely nice guy a kiss.
@Moto_Chagatai congrats.
@DStheo @Paulyfrog64 this is why you don't dox yourself even to your "friends", because pussy or money can come between you and you may be stabbed in the back.
@ButtWorldsMan Woosh
@ButtWorldsMan I am only writing because you said you were "waiting" for my response.
This conversation is no longer about the subject, and is no getting into definitions of pain versus suffering, the nature of suffering, mental image, etc.
It's obviously none of you have the desire or capacity to have the actual conversation, and want to quibble about inconsequential shit.
Thus I stopped responding to everyone. Feel free to continue to pat yourselves on the back for wasting my time.
@ButtWorldsMan I don't pull the lever if they're strangers. Not my problem.
If people I know and like are on the tracks, I pull the lever to save them, regardless of how many strangers I sacrifice. Sucks to be them.
If different people are tied to different tracks, I save those who I care about more.
I would push the fat guy onto the track just because.
@RoninGrey There are drugs which can induce different states of consciousness, but they often dull your reason so you can't communicate what you're experiencing and you sound like a retard.
I thought about being a teacher once, but it's too political and the pay is dogshit. Plus fuck the government.
@ButtWorldsMan The practical application is the the false sense of "I" is the cause of all your suffering, but you do you.
@ButtWorldsMan except, no. You cannot know "you are" simply because thinking is occurring.
Who is thinking? How do you know "you" are a singular "I" or not?
The saying "I think therefore I am" makes a lot of unquestioned assumptions.
I'm not the first one to point this out. Nietzsche did as well: https://qr.ae/py97b7
TL;DR "Without our authorization or permission, the thinking happens, after which we latch onto it and claim it as our own."
@ButtWorldsMan The thought experiment is about "the self", which you cannot see, but which you experience in every moment.
Try to come up with a better thought experiment.
@ButtWorldsMan the purpose of a thought experiment isn't a puzzle you "solve", it's there to put you into a mental state of mind to think of something in a different way.
BTW, you're describing the principle of Incorrigibility: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incorrigibility
