This is a public discussion. I was offering my two cents on how you or others could better their position on visualisation. I don’t quite understand where the hostility is coming from, but you coming back with your own two cents on being hard-wired naturally means that my advice does not apply to you.

no, you hinted that you were stuck as a 3, and I’m telling you that it’s not fixed.

Just in case you’re worried that you’re locked in – you’re not. Abstain from listening to music, watching TV, and consuming media for a week or two, and watch your brain literally glitter into life to provide you with entertainment.

If you want a more short-term solution: waking up after lack of sufficient sleep, and wandering to the bathroom in half-sleep mode should put you in a state of mind where it’s easy to “hear” a desired song playing in your head.

I’m just tired of seeing it when people say “we need fusion!” “OH RLY? HAVE YOU LOOKED UP LATELY”

It’s stale and adds nothing

Human’s have done some impressive things. We’re unravelling the mysteries of the universe and building some amazing tech. Yes, a powerful few of us have done some horrific things, to ourselves and to the creatures we share our home with, but I don’t think it was all for nothing if that’s what you’re getting at.

It’s gonna be locked down. Everyone wants a holodeck, but imagine there are so many rules and regs on what you can and can’t do in one that it’s not even worth it?

Imagine playing GTA, but:

• you can’t hijack a train full of people
• buildings don’t take any damage when you fly helicopters into them
• people’s limbs don’t detach when you sever them
• you can’t make idle small talk with random NPCs without it escalating into violence

Would that be a GTA you would actually play?

I just want reliable long-term storage. Even if it’s a trickle of power coming out, I want it to be reliable and large, so that I can just throw energy at it when I don’t need it and can rely on it when I do.

Genghis, we’ve talked about this before: you can’t snap arrows and push EV’s at the same time – there needs to be a transition period.

Here’s the thing. You are all trillion of your features, but you are mostly an informative subset of maybe a million. You drop a verse of shakespeare from your memory and you’d essentially be the same person.

Your memories don’t encode every single thing that has happened to you, they encode blurry snapshots of fast-decaying events and flatten them over time depending on importance, filling in the blanks with other parts of your mind (made with other blurry decaying events).

If you thought AI was bad at hallucinating events, be glad you cannot ask your brain direct questions

No one remembers Phoebe, because Chandler always stole the show.

I’m here to make a flippant sarcastic comment about us already having fusion, and that all we need is enough solar panels to capture it. I thank you for your time, and yes I will go eff myself.

Hell, they sound like idiots – so I’m all for this

Benefit is that dueling was primarily done by rich white guys over issues of ego, so our tech CEOs would fit in just nicely whilst having the join benefit of removing half of them from the gene pool

Let’s bring back paddlin’ while we’re at it

they should also sport appropriate codpieces to match their raging egos

Let’s not pin cult leaders against each other now

hear hear

You make a good point

Yeah you can, music artists do it all the time - you get them on branding, merch.

Here’s the Lee Lemon clip:

No one is naked. Kiff is reacting to the statement itself. The nudity comes later and isn’t reacted to.

Here’s the Lola clip:

Note that before Zapp even mentions Leela’s name, the patrons are already sickened by him singing it. Kiff doesn’t react here, so I might have confused a memory, but still, that’s quite a reaction by the audience, no?
