I actually thought your beef is that I'm being too vague on purpose. You need to moderate, moderate - is why I'm using the "rule 4" umbrella term for various kinds of woo-woo when I feel the need to express/journal something without going too much into uncanny territory. Can't really tell how much is too much on my own.

Yeah, the thing i'm seeing, and a few people are doing is using the statement 'rule 4' to talk about it, but pretend they aren't talking about it kind of. It's kind of a difficult one how much is wanted or not, I think i'll have to talk to Shannon about that and see.

Heh, oftentimes I haven't simply yet figured out a way of putting it into English without using terminology that could raise eyebrows. And even if I do, it ends up sounding like quantum woo mumbo jumbo. Big Grin

Shouldda learned advanced math when I had the chance, lol.

Advanced math isn't all it's cracked up to be, IMO. Personally I found matrix algebra to be the only one most immediately useful to what I wanted to learn programming-wise at the time (image processing), and very limited use from advanced calculus (mostly in audio processing).

I'm going to have to take your word for it. Wink Still, the language of mathematics is very useful in expressing high levels of abstraction in a disciplined way, I think, and that is what I'd find most practical at the moment.


RE: DMSI 3.2 Random Musings and Journalings - Have at ye - 10-05-2018

Finally received my plentiful porn potato! To celebrate, I purchased US/LM 5.5g ver. B for future use as well as an item I want to try out. Saving the rest up for further fun. Smile


RE: DMSI 3.2 Random Musings and Journalings - Have at ye - 10-07-2018

I have this zany feeling that things are starting to come together... rather nicely.

I've been doing some research into a thing that has piqued my interest recently, and am learning how to do this particular thing (even did do some attempts at practical application recently), and once I do, not even the sky's the limit, baby!

Wondering whether to run the newly purchased US/LM 5.5g once it's updated in the interim of awaiting DMSI 3.3. I'm not really worried about lessening its effects even - something tells me it's going to work as advertised for me in this version, worst case scenario it'll take a bit longer to do so. Still, ver. 3.3 is probably coming sooner rather than later, so... I shall think on this!

EDIT/NOTE

3 weeks off actively listening to DMSI ver. 3.2 as of today.


RE: DMSI 3.2 Random Musings and Journalings - Have at ye - 10-07-2018

Random musing of the day:

I think I now know the true meaning behind the phrase "That which does not kill me, makes me stronger". It has become cliche due to overuse over the years, but... welllll... it actually does. But - with the proper mindset.

I guess it's not that uncommon for something profound to get its meaning skewered through being taken out of its proper context, lol.

Here's the proper quotation: "From life's school of war: what does not kill me makes me stronger"


RE: DMSI 3.2 Random Musings and Journalings - Have at ye - 10-08-2018

Random musing of the day:

I remember posting about "a point where a decision is made that precedes all other decisions" sometime back in this journal. I think it was way back during my first month of DMSI 3.2B run. Also something about finding that point.

And you know what? I think I've got this.

Testing a potential practical application of this. In the works, so to speak.

And all because I like round female butts.

Hahahaha, I love the world.

Hahahaha, I love the world.

BTW. the quickest way of describing this I have right now is a mix between that thing Plato was talking about (the "ideal" and how it precedes and forms "the real"), and that thing Heidegger was talking about (the "here-being" and "the thing in itself"). So how do you change "the thing in itself" as it pertains to its "here-being"? You change its formative "idea".

And there are parts of the unconscious that only think and communicate in "ideas". Concepts. It's like that thing Jung was talking about ("archetypes"). And they can create them - conceive them. You just gotta find a way of communicating with it what exactly you want it to conceive, apply it to a "thing" (something that exists in space-time, "here-is") and then the "thing-in-itself" should, technically, start reforming based on its new "ideal".

EDIT with a random musing:

Heh, it's why Heidegger's such a tricky mo-fo to translate out of German. He uses words/language "conceptually". So for instance that weird "here-being" is the English translation of "Dasein", which is a simple enough word in German, but it carries the following concepts: "da" - either "here" or "there", delineation of existence in space, and "sein", so "to be", and is a noun to complicate matters. It's also probably why when analytical philosophers first came in touch with Heidegger or other dudes whose thinking was along these lines, they'd scratch their heads and go: "This be hogwash! I can't frickin' analyze this!" Big Grin


RE: DMSI 3.2 Random Musings and Journalings - Have at ye - 10-09-2018

Oh, also found an interesting article/discussion that touches on this subject in a different way, but I'll go and post it in another part of the forums.

Is that not the core concept of "mindfulness," though? To be here, be present, be in the now instead of thinking and/or being in the past and/or future?

Haha, probably.

Thing is, it's a conceptual description of "what is", not a state of mind (which mindfulness would imply), I guess. So I guess the concept of mindfulness would be to try and experience your "here-being" in full.

The word "Dasein" in a non-Heideggerian context is usually simply translated as "existence".

Haven't been all that much into mindfulness, really, so I can't really tell. But what Heidegger proposed as an ethical model was "poetic being-in-the-world", or something, can't remember really. Which could have much in common with the idea of mindfulness.

Didn't stop him from being a flaming Nazi, though, haha.


RE: DMSI 3.2 Random Musings and Journalings - Have at ye - 10-11-2018

I'm testing that practical application I mentioned. This could take some time, but early indicators (and an empirical test, although not the full extent) seem to point that... it's going to work.

I'm an Epic Level Wizard (21 lvl +), specializing in Transmutation and Conjuration. Apparently. Big Grin

Although I did a "what character class in D&D are you" "personality test" some time back and it said I'm a Sorcerer/Bard (now that's a dumb multiclass combo, lol). At least the stats were totally powergamed. Wink

[*And now for something completely different* EDIT]:

Also, in other news: I now have a decent place to practice my Bard skills in, at a pretty low price of potato to boot. Neat-o!

The place I used heretofore was a great testing field for DMSI extravaganza, though, as it features plentiful females in need of loving. It did involve cutting a deal with that dumb director with whom I'm cutting all professional ties, so that's a no-go no more.

Still, I'll be visiting that spot every now again anyway, as I sometimes work with my vocal coach at the place. Besides, I'm like a local celebrity and a fixture over there, lol, so nobody's ever that surprised to see me. Not everyone's *happy* to see me there, and some people are actively trying to drive me away (because of the females who require loving which they're obviously incapable of providing Wink ), but nobody's going to be surprised. Big Grin Hahaha, I'm such an ass.
