I just had to share this, one person in a similar task imagined that a brick is a toy coffin in a puppet show.

My impression is the same, but "demands" here is meant more like a demand to wear a silly hat or be severely peer-pressured, not "not being invited to a party". But I may misunderstand the problem or be too excited to properly react to it. If you have an example that could deliver it more viscerally - I'd appreciate that.

If it will be a big community - would it be legal to organize some kind of private mini school? Something like Elon made for his kids - it could be better than homeschooling and regular private school both.

Two Yodas about inferential distances about relationships.

This is what I usually need to tell a normie to start discussing relationships and their possibility between us:

  1. Ask, guess, tell
  2. Kinds of attraction
  3. Exclusivity for what?
  4. Off the escalator
  5. Relationship Anarchy
  6. Types of nonmonogamy

I'm going to write an expanded version - tell me if you'd be interested in having something like this for your own use.

Should we have a list of stuff to try to feel? Seems potentially interesting to me

I was reasonably sure that I don't have felt senses or won't get in touch with them without years of psychotherapy(I tried Yoda). While reading this, I finally got it and decided to talk about it with my friend, so I decided to put it into my inbox. That moment, my neck got cramped, my upper back got tense and I wanted to get away from it. Felt sense of thinking about my graveyard-inbox is my first one, forever and ever. 

Kaj, thank you so much.

<3 wow. Happy to hear that you got it, I hope the felt sense of your inbox gets better eventually. :)

My delta it's waiting for the sense by the clock, and trying again and again. Thanks

thanks!:) I was inspired by 14 because I had one in my field of vision ^_^ ; 19, yeah XD

I like 22 and 24, but the 42 is genius! Did you intend to put the best under the 42?

Not in particular; I'm actually most fond of 43 ;). Also, #12 is based on a real incident, and it's probably how I'd actually do it:

I can easily relax my prunes and babble a lot - generate names, interpretations, whatever. But I'm quite disappointed that the babble is still of a low quality. What's the point of generating 100 names for my startup if all of them are bad? @jacobjacob Are there any exercises specifically for that?

(Should I reread the sequence?)

This week's exercise was very unconstrained. My hypothesis for when really powerful things happen is when you learn to do constrained babble: "Here are 5 constraints: you must not destroy anything important as a side effect or going to the moon, your item weighs about 1kg, you must get there within 50 years,...". I think there's a skill of holding all the constraints in working memory and letting them guide your babble.

Two years ago I spent 24 hours to write 100 paperclip uses. In Russian here https://docs.google.com/document/d/15rgEl3J36lNywte0CQ6kcN2QwjGhPswJZ1TnnXQBxIQ/edit?usp=sharing

Weird, but it took me exactly an hour. 

UPD: I just realized that the task wasn't to get myself to the moon. Works as an exercise, anyway

  1. Jump
  2. Build a high building on the equator and blow it up
  3. Zipline through a vacuum tunnel-like hyperloop
  4. Meditate until you learn to levitate and hibernate simultaneously
  5. Build a human tower
  6. Blow up the moon until it lands
  7. Blow up Earth until the tectonic plate we stand on collides with the moon
  8. Teleport via future technology
  9. Wish yourself to appear there
  10. Placebomanically convince the reality that I actually am there
  11. Pray
  12. Upload

Loved the lack of filter, #46 was inspired. I think you count as something.
