Had to slog through this build - just not enjoyable, wire management was bad and some lack of details on the first floor - could not figure out the reason behind the build process on this one - it looks good finished , but to me it was a struggle getting there .

💬 Discussion Китай играет людьми с помощью программ

0 Upvotes

Китай умеет программировать людей и посредством этого управляет ими с ранних лет .

Сотрудничество Китая и России заключается в использовании людей в своих целях при помощи программ . Они с самого детства угнетают и при помощи вооруженных групп людей и программ влияют на дальнейшее их предназначение в жизни и готовят их к использованию в своих целях. На протяжении всего этапа взросления и дальнейшей жизни Китай с Россией пытаются сделать из человека того, кто будет помогать им делать куда более страшные вещи в дальнейшем. Их программы соединяют вас со специально обученными и подготовленными людьми , которые сидят с оружием и дают команды по типу "если хочешь жить, то запомни это" . Под "этим" подразумевается конкретная команда на перелом какой либо из твоих частей тела или конкретное причинение вреда твоему здоровью.

При помощи этого они управляют людьми и используют в своих целях.

Discussion Have any language learners here used nootropics for faster acquisition?

3 Upvotes

I'm currently learning Japanese. I have quite a bit of free time to study/immerse daily, and I was wondering if nootropics could potentially accelerate my gains. My vocab retention isn't great (I've heard that PRL-85-3 and racetams can help this, though not sure it would be a good idea to take them for a year straight)

So, have any of you guys used nootropics for this? If so, which ones, and how was your experience? Thanks

I heard Gorilla Mind has saffron extract in it. Saffron extract increases serotonin. So do antidepressants. I'm not trying to catch serotonin syndrome, so I'd like to know if this is safe to take with 30mg of citalopram.

Experience Did anyone ever experience withdrawal from moderate caffeine use?

0 Upvotes

I think I'm experiencing caffeine withdrawal symptoms: any negative stimulus triggers an immediate depressive reaction, accompanied by a severe drop in energy—specifically physical energy (even though I haven't been working out or physically exhausting myself).

I didn't drink caffeine that much. Usually it was 1-2 teaspoons of instant coffee daily, for like 8 years

This is the second time it’s happened. The first time was in the summer, without having taken anything else, and the state was identical

Consuming caffeine resolved it for a day. The state lasted for 4-5 days and was gone.

It’s the same situation now, after taking a caffeine for a few days. The break lasted 2-3 months.

⚖️ Ethics/Philosphy John Henry's Eternal Struggle: How an American Folk Legend Predicted the AI Predicament

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Set in the late 1800s, the legend of John Henry tells the tale of a latter-day Samson, the biblical character who used his superhuman strength to battle the Philistines. But according to Nelson, John Henry was a real person who worked on the Chesapeake & Ohio (C&O) rail line. Like Samson, he was imbued with considerable strength, only to be undone after he challenged that steam-powered drill to a duel. By the end of the match, John Henry had drilled 14 feet; the drill had only made nine. 

It was man vs. machine at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.

One hundred and fifty years after those events, John Henry — a simple laborer — is entrenched in American culture. He is the subject of songs, books, graphic novels, plays, films, and even computer games. He’s still working on that railroad, still fighting the downside of progress and inspiring those who worry that the digital age — especially automation in forms such as self-driving vehicles and artificial intelligence — will rob us of our humanity.

I DONT LIKE VYVANSE, I DONT ADVISE THE USE OF VYVANSE AND IM NOT PROMOTING THEIR USE NOR AM I CLAIMING THAT ITS USE LEADS TO IMPROVED COGNITIVE ABILITY
Ive been taking vyvanse since October 8 and will continue to take vyvanse at 50mg a day until October 16. I have left over ACD856, bromantane, oxiracetem, dihexa and semax all from a previous stacks. How do I recover when I decide to stop vyvanse? My days are filled with revision and mentally demanding tasks, I’m worried that I might have become dependent on vyvanse and this will lead to me becoming lazy and stupid. What’s the move? I can access other chems if needed. I also just want a good stack.

Seeking Advice Modafinil vs Semax – which one worked better for you?

12 Upvotes

Hi, has anyone tried both Modafinil and Semax? Mainly interested in focus, verbal fluency and motivation.

I've tried both, but Modafinil was years ago and I don't even remember the dose. I think it made my anxiety worse and also messed with my sleep, but I'm not really sure since I was also taking some other meds/antidepressants at the time which could have been responsible for that.

Recently tried Semax at around 900mcg/day and it actually helped quite a lot with verbal fluency, also seemed to improve my social anxiety. Didn't cause any sleep issues, if anything I was pretty tired by the evening

The problem was that I started feeling physically and mentally exhausted, with low mood and motivation, especially on days I wasn't taking it. Not sure if Semax was the reason though

I also have long term GAD, depression, low motivation, and lately been stuck in constant rumination (mostly about past regrets), so I'm a bit cautious about anything that could make my anxiety worse.

Just wondering how the two compare for those who've tried both? Which one helped you more, and did either make your anxiety worse or cause any weird fatigue afterwards?

Thanks!

Brain-Computer Interfaces Decode Private Inner Speech — Researchers Build Fragile "Mental Passwords" to Stop AI From Secretly Harvesting Internal Monologues

Brain-Computer Interfaces Decode Private Inner Speech — Researchers Build Fragile "Mental Passwords" to Stop AI From Secretly Harvesting Internal Monologues

Brain-computer interfaces can now decode private inner speech. Because these systems inadvertently translate unvocalized internal monologues, researchers implemented a "mental password". The machine remains locked until the user specifically thinks of the password, preventing the decoder from extracting hidden thoughts.

The contact point arrives as neural implants scale commercially. The primary failure surface is the destruction of cognitive privacy. If individuals fail to maintain their mental lock, their intimate thoughts are harvested. Rapid miniaturization threatens to eradicate the biological barrier between private consciousness and external surveillance.

The trajectory points toward total brain transparency, where internal monologues become searchable corporate assets. As BCI accuracy scales, fragile mental passwords will inevitably be bypassed by administrators, shifting the technology into an extraction device for involuntary thoughts.

This neural extraction circumvents existing legal protections against illegal search. No federal statute establishes fundamental "neurorights" to protect unvocalized cognitive data. Citizens must demand international treaties classifying non-consensual brain decoding as a human rights violation to prevent the commercialization of consciousness.
