You’re talking to the man who’s done enough psychedelics to be declared legally insane - I’ve done enough to deal with HPPD for about a year.
Do I acknowledge religion or even spirituality? Hell no. Did I have great ideas for AGI on it? Of course - even an architecture based on the Sephirot, and later a genius way to use the OISC known as bytebytejump. We are bound to the physical laws of the universe, and nothing more. "Take more drugs" is useful for deep introspection and for outlandish ideas but nothing more. Though I wouldn’t mind dropping acid with a few AGI experts, if they can handle it ;) Sent from ProtonMail Mobile On Thu, Sep 20, 2018 at 11:39 AM, Stefan Reich via AGI <[email protected]> wrote: > Your introspection is limited.
