    1. In the Buddhist world we even in, in a way you can say you're always dying. You're already dying. So just thinking about it in those terms: what's the cultural impact of thinking about life as death, actually—as a process that maybe never ends?

    2. I'll talk about some cases in a moment— there's very sudden decomposition when the "tukdam" ends. You can have people who have been in tukdam for 27 days and then on the— as one of the cases that we're gonna be publishing on soon— and on the 28th day there's like very dramatic decomposition. Just boom! It seems to happen.

      for - Buddhism - Tibetan - Thukdam - can end suddenly and dramatically - from Youtube - Between Life and Death: Understanding Tukdam - John D. Dunne

    3. And this is one of the big problems right now— [pointing at the slide] tukdam regularly occurs in non-experts, right? You find, you know, people who are not great trained tantric practitioners who know all the commentaries and, you know, who aren't even monks or nuns— who are just ordinary lay people—and they go into "tukdam."

      for - Buddhism - Tibetan - Tukdam - ordinary people with no training also go into Tukdam - from Youtube - Between Life and Death: Understanding Tukdam - John D. Dunne

    4. I've encountered several people in the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions who say, "Oh, we, you know 'tukdam,' yeah, people go in 'tukdam,' "but it's like, you know, not that big a deal. It's, we don't care that much." Part of the reason they don't care that much is that the idea that you need to go into this completely, kind of, a state where there's no phenomenal content— that's just a pure clear light mind— actually is something that many of the contemporary practitioners and teachers in those lineages don't agree with.

      for - Buddhism - Tibetan - Kagyu and Nyingma schools don't make a big deal out of Tukdam - nondual awareness can emerge with other techniques - key insight - Buddhism - Tibetan - Clear light meditation at time of death - Tukdam - a physiological technique - from Youtube - Between Life and Death: Understanding Tukdam - John D.

    5. it's said that you can get there by doing like philosophical analysis, but this is using basically physiological techniques to get to the same place phenomenologically. So that's what "tukdam" is theoretically

    6. So the concept here is that you're actually no longer even capable of thinking, you're no longer capable of seeing, you're no longer capable of hearing, and so on. All that's left is just this kind of sheer consciousness itself, which doesn't even have a subject-object structure. So for the Gelugpas that lack of subject-object structure is not really relevant. For the other traditions it's extremely relevant, because it's said that if you're going to understand the nature of the mind, the fundamental distortion in the mind is precisely that subject-object structure. So you have to cultivate a non-dual awareness,

And you, with a sense of what's called dignity or pride, right, the, the... "lha’i nga rgyal," the "pride of being the deity."

    12. these winds, right— these energies—are already flowing, of course, and they flow in very deep patterns that basically constitute one's own ordinary identity. And so quite literally one's own ordinary identity is, is the patterning of these winds.

      for - key insight - one's ordinary identity IS the pattern of the flow of the winds - this makes practice of Tukdam very difficult - from Youtube - Between Life and Death: Understanding Tukdam - John D. Dunne - a tendency towards lust, aversion, etc is accompanied by a flow of wind. - to practice this during life, we have to get out of the deep patterns we identify with in life

    13. There are different forms of energy, five primary forms and five secondary forms of energy, and they flow in channels in the body. And at the time of death, there, there's a certain kind of configuration of those energies that occur and you can actually, you can, in a sense, force those energies— maybe that's not the right term, but some people would agree with that metaphor— you can force those energies to enter into that configuration through various forms of yogic practices.

      for - Buddhism - Tibetan - clear light meditation practice - 5 primary and 5 secondary flows of energy in channels in the body - meditators practice a desired flow configuration at time of death - from Youtube - Between Life and Death: Understanding Tukdam - John D. Dunne

    14. The simulation, however, requires a high degree of control over the winds— "rlung" in Tibetan or "vāyuḥ" in Sanskrit, not "prāṇa," but "vāyuḥ" in Sanskrit—that are involved in the death process.

    4. he earliest we've been able to get to a case of tukdam is 26 hours after a practitioner has died so we've missed the first full day and there is some reason to believe that that first 24-hour period is is going to be very very important

    6. his Holiness um uh his Holiness uh made the request that we investigate tokam and I believe that one of uh his interests his Holiness his interest in studying took down is because this represents a real challenge to Western science because uh uh the suggestion in the traditional Tibetan texts is that there is a subtle quality of awareness that is still present even after the conventional Western definition of death after the heart has stopped beating after the breathing has stopped there they're said to be uh this subtle quality of awareness uh this clear light stage that is still present

      for - meditation - Tukdam clear light meditation at time of death - research motivation from HH Dalai Lama - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson

    7. in our work on well-being we have formulated a framework for understanding the key pillars or the key components of well-being

      for - mindfulness meditation research - 4 pillars of wellbeing - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson

      summary - four pillars of wellbeing - 1 awareness - 2 connection - 3 insight (of the nature of self) - 4 purpose (intention)

    8. the fourth pillar of well-being we call purpose

      for - fourth of four pillars of wellbeing - purpose - finding it in our everyday life here and now - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson - comparison - intention vs attention

      comment - Davidson does not provide much rich commentary on purpose, although it is quite an important idea to consider. - Intention is synonymous with purpose - The reason we consider the word intention instead is that we can compare to attention - intention - purpose or focus direction of future work (fourth pillar) - attention - focus awareness (first pillar) - Both of these acts are acts of constraining from the infinite field of our reality to a very narrow one - intention - among the infinite things I CAN do, I choose to do THIS specific one - attention - among all the infinite things I can sense, I choose to sense THIS specific one

      for - third of four pillars of wellbeing - insight - a curiosity driven knowledge of the self - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson

      comment - this insight is specifically about the nature of self as a narrative construction imposed upon a constellation of changing thoughts and emotions - when we gain the insight that the solid-appearing self is constructed on emptiness, research shows that this insight sets the stage for wellbeing to emerge

    11. his Holiness reminds us that the seeds of compassion are often in the relationship between a child and his mother excuse me that a mother provides for the child provides kindness and uh care for the child and represents this early seed of compassion

    12. we think of kindness and compassion in a way that's very similar to the way scci other scientists think about language

      for - comparison / key insight - compassion is like language (and also like genetics) - every infant has the biological capacity for these - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson

      comparison / key insight - compassion is like language (and also like genetics) - compassion, like language and genetics is intrinsic to our human nature. Every newborn comes into the world with the biological capacity for kindness/compassion, language and for genetic expression. However, - how we actually turn out as adults depends on what variables exist in our environment - If we have a compassionate mOTHER, our Most significant OTHER, she will teach us compassion - just like a child raised in a community of other language speakers in the environment will enable the child to cultivate the language capacity and - without a community of language speakers, a feral infant will grow up not understanding language at all - a healthy environment triggers beneficial epigenetic processes - Again, the chinese saying is salient: (hu)man on earth, good at birth. The same nature, varies on nurture

      explanation - epigenetics and health - Richard J. Davidson gives a simple and clear explanation of the connection between epigenetics and health / wellbeing - We are born with DNA that won't change much over the course of a lifetime - However, many of those genes are not active but can be rapidly activated by environmental cues such as emotions, chemical signals, etc

    20. what we have found quite remarkably is that when a person trains their mind their well-being improves and their brain changes uh and not just the brain but many other things in their mind and body also change

      🌍 Avoiding Tax Legally in Other Countries

      Changing tax residency for half a year may help avoid taxes (but it;s complex and rather recommended for very high earnings). You can move for example to: - United Arab Emirates: No crypto tax. - Germany: No tax on crypto sold after holding for 12 months. - Portugal: Similar tax-free policies for holding over a year.

      🔄 What Is Taxed?

      Transactions converting cryptocurrency into fiat currency (e.g., PLN, USD) or purchasing goods like property or pizza with cryptocurrency are taxable. Pure crypto-to-crypto transactions are not taxable.

      📈 How to Calculate Tax

      Calculate the difference between the amount spent to acquire cryptocurrency and the amount earned from its sale. Example: If Bitcoin was bought at $30,000 and sold at $40,000, the taxable income is $10,000.

      💰 Tax Rate Overview

      • Income up to 1 million PLN is taxed at 19%.
      • Income exceeding 1 million PLN incurs an additional 4% solidarity tax, totaling 23% for high earners.

      📃 Keeping Records

      Tax obligations arise at the moment of converting crypto to fiat or goods, not at the time of withdrawal from an exchange. Keep detailed records to avoid issues during audits or when exchanges request proof of funds.

      ⚠️ Challenges and Advice

      Tax laws in Poland are comprehensive and offer few loopholes. Engaging tax professionals is strongly advised to ensure compliance and minimize errors.


      🔄 Deferring Tax Payments in Poland Using Stablecoins

      One strategy involves converting crypto profits into stablecoins at year-end and selling them in the following year to postpone taxation. Below is a detailed breakdown of how the strategy works and its limitations.

      The Concept

      Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to fiat currencies (e.g., USD or EUR) and have stable values. Using stablecoins in Poland offers a way to legally defer tax payments:

      1. End-of-Year Transaction:

        • Convert your cryptocurrency gains (e.g., Bitcoin) into stablecoins like Tether (USDT) or USD Coin (USDC) at the end of the tax year.
        • These transactions, as crypto-to-crypto conversions, are not taxable in Poland.
      2. Start-of-Year Sale:

        • In the new tax year, sell the stablecoins for fiat currency (e.g., PLN).
        • The taxable event occurs in the following year, deferring the tax obligation.

      Benefits of This Strategy

      1. Tax Payment Deferral:

        • Delays the payment of taxes on your crypto gains by shifting the taxable event to the next year.
      2. Inflation Advantage:

        • Inflation reduces the real value of money over time, decreasing the actual financial burden of the deferred tax.
      3. Liquidity Management:

        • Funds remain accessible as stablecoins, which can be reinvested or used in decentralized finance (DeFi) during the deferral period.

      How Long Can This Be Done in Poland?

      • The strategy can be legally repeated annually for up to 15 years.
      • After 15 years, the deferred gains may be treated differently or trigger tax liabilities due to long-term reporting requirements. It's important to monitor evolving tax regulations in Poland to ensure compliance.

      Key Considerations

      1. Documentation:

        • Maintain detailed records of all transactions, including dates, values, and stablecoin transfers, for tax compliance and audits.
      2. Stablecoin Selection:

        • Choose stablecoins with strong pegs to fiat currencies to avoid price fluctuations that may affect gains or losses.
      3. Regulatory Changes:

        • Polish tax laws are subject to change. Always confirm that the strategy remains valid before executing it.

      Example

      • Year 1 (2023):

        • Bitcoin bought for PLN 50,000.
        • Sold for PLN 150,000 at the end of 2023.
        • Proceeds converted to USDT (not taxable in Poland).
      • Year 2 (2024):

        • USDT sold for PLN 150,000 in January.
        • Taxable gain of PLN 100,000 is reported in the 2024 tax year.

      Limitations

      1. Short-Term Transactions:

        • If stablecoins are sold within the same year as the crypto-to-stablecoin conversion, the tax deferral benefit is lost.
      2. Exchange Fees:

        • Frequent crypto-stablecoin conversions may incur exchange fees, slightly reducing net gains.
      3. Regulatory Risks:

        • Future changes to tax laws or stablecoin regulations could impact the strategy's viability.

      This strategy allows you to legally defer cryptocurrency taxes for a significant period, maximizing your financial flexibility and leveraging stablecoin stability. Always consult a tax professional for tailored advice and compliance.

      summary - Psychologist Jerry Kroth makes a claim that the 1.5 Deg C and 2.0 Deg C thresholds will be reached sooner than expected - due to acceleration of climate change impacts. - He backs up his argument with papers and recent talks of climate thought leaders using their youtube presentations. - This presentation succinctly summarized a lot of the climate news I've been following recently. - It reminded me of the urgency of climate change, my work trying to find a way to integrate the work of the Climate Clock project into other projects. - This work was still incomplete but now I have incentive to complete it.

      comment - With Trumps win and the nomination of a slate filled with many billionaires to lead major US departments, it's more obvious than ever that what Trump is doing is:

      new meme - A hostile corporate takeover of the US government - We shouldn't be surprised as Trump was groomed by the out-of-control corptocracy in the United States - Remember that NBC made him famous with his show "The Apprentice" and during that time, he was celebrated by American corporate culture. Why else did his show reach top position in Nelson ratings? - Trump is the child of the toxic corporate culture of America where money is king, the metric that rules over everything - people and the environment - Trump is merely running the government the way he ran his companies (into the ground), with total control. - On the apprentice, he made famous the phrase "your fired" - We should not be surprised that he is making the US government in the image of himself that he has well publicized for decades.

    2. I had a choice between two options: “not” and “again”. (1) ‘We are not going back.’ And (2) ‘Making … great again.’ The last word is the most important one in that slogan.So what’s wrong with that? One option is stuck in the status quo. The other one suggests to disrupt the status quo by going backward.

    1. Ways to discover music organically: - 1) Check out the producer of the song - 2) Check out artist features (who features on them and who they feature for. - 3) Check out playlists by favorite artist. - 4) Keep up with critics/publications of music - 5) Genre Reddit communities - 6) Rate Your Music -> IMDB for music - 7) AlbumOfTheYear - 8) Physical Record Stores - 9) Discover Music through Friends Warning: Not for Loners!!! - 10) Local Music Venues

    1. Levels of understanding genres: - 0) No understanding Like the song, never heard anything like it before, but no idea about anything. - 1) Basic Understanding Knowing a bit about the name of the genre and subgenres, but you can be wrong. - 2) Immersion Really dive into subgenres and flavors of the main genre... Also a bit of history about the genre. Research. - 3) Structure Breaking down the structure of the tracks in the genre. For example through DAW. Basically first-principles thinking.

      To level 1: Song Analyzer tools (for example musicstax or AI). The author recommends everynoise.com too to gain a basic understanding of genres.

      To level 2: Find similar songs and artists for your playlists with that genre. Perhaps playlists. Important to understand the origin of the genre.

    1. Interesting. I prefer to use emergent "categories" rather than a predetermined set. Similar to how Luhmann did it originally. Most of my top-level cats are pertaining to my Grand Theory of Optimal Education but this is not a rule. Additionally, I do indeed get away from the topical content the further down I go naturally. 7 = Lifelong Learning 71 (or 7.1 for readability) = Reading 71/1e2 = Intellectualism vs. Learning with regards to critical analysis and thinking 71/1e2a = Original Thought I could've created original thought as its own branch but I found it related enough to a card on reading I made (particularly with regards to intellectualism) to insert it there.

    1. Useful advice. I will not integrate it into notebooks most likely though, I'll use the principles to add certain sections to my slip-box. Doing this in a Zettelkasten manner allows me to: A) Bypass page size limitations, I do not have to think about how many pages to leave free as I can simply add more index cards to the sequence B) Have both the treasury and manuscript style at the same time... C) Reference everything whenever I need it for my overall research for my Grand Theory of Optimal Education, and other writing/research projects. For the treasury I can simply thumb through "Wise Saying" collection cards without any particular organization/order (although I might add one, I have to think about this)... And for the manuscript I can just reference the unique IDs of those sayings and then write about them. This is the ideal scenario for me.
    1. origine

      Je propose de se rappeler un principe de valeur fondamental qui énonce qu'au fond chaque être humain est bon dans l'absolu, par nature, et qu'il peut éventuellement devenir plus au moins néfaste pour son environnement à cause d'expériences orientées de la vie. Ce principe ne s'oppose pas au principe de responsabilité des individus qu'on suppose libres dans un intervalle plus ou moins grand de possibilités que la vie propose.

      Toutefois, on peut facilement se rappeler également que tous les humains ne sont pas égaux ni dans leur environnement ni dans leur intervalle de possibilités. Certains ont réellement la liberté de se questionner, réfléchir, faire des choix et agir, d'autres n'ont peut-être que l'option de reproduire le seul schéma connu et visible, avec peu de moyens pour en sortir et augmenter leur libre arbitre.

      Bref tout ça pour rappeler qu'aucun humain ne devient violent pour le plaisir, sans raison. Les troubles actuels sont une précipitation d'un mélange explosif qui se produit depuis des années. Et malgré les horreurs que cela peut produire, il serait même encore plus horrible que les personnes au libre arbitre plus élevé choisissent collectivement de les faire capituler violemment à n'importe quel prix, y compris celui de la mort.

      Les humains ne capitulent jamais. Rétablir l'ordre violemment ne fera qu'augmenter la haine et la prochaine explosion n'en sera que plus dévastatrice.

      Les personnes touchées sont bien évidemment innocentes en tant qu'individus. En plus d'avoir de la compassion pour elles, je propose de les considérer également comme les personnes qui subissent arbitrairement les conséquences de notre responsabilité collective. C'est arrivé à elles comme cela aurait pu nous arriver à nous. Et si éventuellement la répartition n'est pas aléatoire mais ciblée par le statut social, cela justifie d'autant plus que c'est la responsabilité collective qui est visée, représentée avant tout par nos élus. Parce que nous contribuons tous, par notre libre arbitre plus ou moins grand, à générer cette situation très tendue aujourd'hui. Nous payons les conséquences de nos actions, ou inactions, de chacun. Les politiques concentrent cette responsabilité à leur échelle. Cela n'annule pas la notre, il ne font que la représenter.

      Je pense que mal agir peut être 10 fois pire que ne pas agir. Il vaut toujours mieux attendre d'avoir de bonnes raisons rationnelles avant d'agir. Oui il y aura des conséquences. Aucun chemin ne peut les éviter totalement. La violence qui doit s'exprimer se relâche après la crise. Si l'on est pas certain que l'inaction va générer davantage de drames, on est certains qu'une répression violente va en créer encore plus, et qui plus est au nom de chacun de nous, le collectif.

      Mettre le focus sur la violence subie de quelques personnes (même si beaucoup de cas, cela reste 0.00...0X% de la population) pour manipuler les gens émotionnellement est une attitude qui ne permet pas de conscientiser la responsabilité collective et individuelle de chacun, ni de se forger des opinions rationnelles.

    1. Fascinating and troublesome is the idea that older books are being edited to be less "offensive" in modern times. This alters the meaning of the past. Do not do this.

      Keep it original.

    2. This person argues that one should cultivate a personal library, the tangibleness of the physical, to safeguard knowledge and prevent information control from falling to a single institution or person, so that they may never control the past.

      I think he should go deeper into his argument, I do not fully understand what he means.

    3. Interesting thought. This guy relates the upcome of AI (non-fiction) writing to the lack of willingness people have to find out what is true and what is false.

      Similar to Nas & Damian Marley's line in the Patience song -- "The average man can't prove of most of the things that he chooses to speak of. And still won't research and find the root of the truth that you seek of."

      If you want to form an opinion about something, do this educated, not based on a single source--fact-check, do thorough research.

      Charlie Munger's principle. "I never allow myself to have [express] an opinion about anything that I don't know the opponent side's argument better than they do."

      It all boils down to a critical self-thinking society.

    1. I notice you put sticky markers into the book... Two questions. A) Does this not take too much effort/time for an inspectional read a la Adler? B) What is the purpose of the sticky markers? Warm regards, Mr. Hoorn -- Fellow Antinetter
    1. Good video. Funnily enough, I related it to Mazlow's hierarchy of competence a minute before you mentioned it. (Mr. Hoorn here, btw.) Another connection I made was to van Merriënboer et al. their "Ten Steps to Complex Learning" or "4 Component Instructional Design". Particularly with regards to doing a skill decomposition (by analyzing experts, the theory, etc.) in order to build a map for how best to learn a complex skill, reducing complexity as much as possible while still remaining true to the authentic learning task; i.e., don't learn certain skills in isolation (drill) unless the easiest version of a task still causes cognitive overload. Because if you learn in isolation too much, your brain misses on the nuances of application in harmony (element interactivity). Related to the concept of "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts". You can master each skill composite individually but still fail epically at combining them into one activity, which is often required.

    1. we believe that that annotation is a really important 00:05:05 uh potential tool and we think it's inevitable we could you know have our product teams develop an annotation layer you know or service um this just seems a such a better way to to go about 00:05:16 doing that um and as i said before to to invest in open at the same time makes a lot of sense so we're thinking about um how do we make the best use of our resources

      Docdrop is another tool enabled by Hypothesis (Hypothes.is). Here's I'm annotating a portion of transcript of a YouTube video clip.

    1. One of the advantages of this media extended plugin is that it can handle more than just YouTube videos. It can handle videos and also some audio notes as well. And I don't think I've tried it with anything else but really I just need YouTube videos.

      Video Title: Taking notes from YouTube videos in Obsidian

      Various ways and plugins to annotate or take notes on videos (e.g. YouTube) in Obsidian

      Audio notes? How?

    1. there are more media types that the team is working on it's heavily text oriented right now but I wouldn't be surprised if they came out with more audio or video related features because I know in the PKM space those are high in demand

      Yes! Video and audio for me!

    1. if it's possible to simply export a list of all your youtube videos well it's not simple but you can certainly do it fairly quickly let me show you how

      Export a list (by name) of all your uploaded YouTube videos: a hacky way to do it

    1. En la biblioteca de Ian Gibson: “Lorca me salvó de la desesperación” | EL PAÍS

      2023-05-17

      5:26 minutos https://youtu.be/NpoHA38qoyE

      Ian Gibson (Dublin, Irlanda, 1939-) en su biblioteca personal en Lavapiés (Madrid, España) comenta cómo su amor por Lorca se convirtió en una vocación y pasión que le salvó la vida:

      "Te juro que me salvó de la desesperación. Mi hermano terminó sus días en una clínica y yo tengo la misma semilla plantada en mi persona. Me habría desesperado sin vocación. Cuando tienes vocación, puedes superar cosas depresivas y negativas, porque tienes ojos fijos en una meta. Yo no sé qué habría sido de mí sin Federico, si me atrevo a llamarlo así."

      Obras completas de todos sus poetas, en especial de Lorca.

      • El libro que comenzó todo:

      The Bull of Minos (1955) de Leonard Cottrell (1913-1974), sobre las excavaciones en Troya y Grecia. Gibson soñaba con ser arqueólogo.

      Gibson dice que repara que también hace arqueología: hay aventura e investigación en lo que hace.

      • Tres imprescindibles

      • Poesías completas (Aguilar Editor) de Ruben Darío (1967-1916) (profesor en Brooklyn sobre Darío).

      Azul... (1988) de Darío (romance primaveral... nicaragüense, primaveral...).

      1. Romancero gitano (1928) de Lorca (1898-1936).

      A pesar de su español "muy defectuoso", el francés y los cognados fueron de ayuda.

      Romance de la pena negra.

      Romance sonámbulo.

      Magia en Lorca. Investigación. Hacer tesis sobre Lorca y "su mundo telúrico".

      1. Ulises (1920) de James Joyce (1882-1941). Ya lo leyó siete veces.

      Gibson dice que Finnegans Wake es más difícil que Ulises, y que Luis de Góngora (su poema "Soledades") también es difícil y que hay que estudiarlo.

      Descubriendo a Joyce más que antes. Lorca cuarenta años y ahora con Joyce...

      • Libro que nunca prestaría

      A Handbook for Travellers in Spain (Manual para viajeros por España y lectores en casa) (1845) de Richard Ford (1796-1858).

      Viajeros románticos, británicos... Inspiración grande para Gibson.

    2. Zeynep Tufekci recently wrote in the Times. “YouTube may be one of the most powerful radicalizing instruments of the 21st century.”
    3. “Even the creators don’t always understand why it recommends one video instead of another,” says Guillaume Chaslot, an ex-YouTube engineer who worked on the site’s algorithm.
    4. According to YouTube chief product officer Neal Mohan, 70 percent of views on YouTube are from recommendations—so the site’s algorithms are largely responsible for amplifying RT’s propaganda hundreds of millions of times.
