Has anyone had one of the 6-pin PCI-e cables (on one of the Titan cubes) become extremely hot, causing the PSU to shut itself off? It began happening today after running (in a far from stable way) for ~4 days. It's an 850W PSU powering only 1 (formerly 2) Titan cubes.

That's what I did...

You legitimize the system of control that you say you don't like, thus giving your consent to the idea that other people have the right to rule over you. Allow George Carlin to humorously explain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efKguI0NFek


No one is superior to anyone else; we are all literally one, experiencing oneself from different points of view. If a group calling itself the mafia told you that you have to choose one gang or another and they held "elections", would you feel that by participating in their sham you are somehow contributing to positive change, just a little bit? The act of participating is what creates the illusion of legitimacy.


The point is that if you're here to defend a position, you're approaching the idea of truth and knowledge, and the discovery of such, from a perspective of ego (attachment to beliefs) rather than an open-minded persepective.

You write this, but then you write this...


Slavery is not going to end any time soon, said the chained African slave, so in the meantime, voting for Mr Jones or Mr Jacobstein is the _only_ mechanism we have to exert any influence whatsoever over the system.

The problem is not the "power-mad psychopaths that will lord over us". The problem is you paying attention to them and believing that they have any power over you whatsoever.

You are completely missing the point of how change works. You don't influence or reform or fix or patch or improve the existing system (i.e. people's belief systems). You build something new that replaces the old as it dies by its own weight. See the Soviet Union. Would you remain on the Titanic rearranging furniture to one side of the deck hoping that it won't sink? Or would you jump on the decentralized boats?


I guess then I just wasted 10 minutes.

It's not so bizarre if you see what decentralization means.

@Intermatic,

Any thoughts?

But we elected them to represent us! They are us!


In that case why would you call it a "parasite" rather than a symbiot, or a "less parasitic symbiotic system"?

For those following the mining hardware development and the fall from grace of KnC, etc, can we get a picture of where honesty remains, if indeed there remains any? Post your impression of "most to least honest mining hardware company".

Butterfly Labs is probably gonna be at the bottom, but I'm curious as to where KnC and AMT would rank.

What does "pre-ential" mean? And how exactly do you imagine that could happen? Your idea of "authoritarian imposition of anarchy" sounds like Year Zero (the Cambodian authoritarian imposition of communism).



And before there was common law there was Natural Law, which logically describes your true freedoms. BTW, I fixed your misconception about what government is by taking the liberty of adding a parenthesis.

That makes very little sense, but what you appear to be saying is that anarchy can be imposed using the existing mechanism of authoritarian violence... which is exactly like the Orwellian idea that "War is Peace".


That's assuming that the supposed representatives of the majority actually are representing the interests of the majority... which is obviously untrue. The "news" media presents an illusion of choice between millionaire scumbag #1 and millionaire douchebag #2, while largely ignoring 3rd party candidates that are clearly much more honest. Dictatorships are more honest in that they don't put on a big show to make it seem as if they were chosen by the masses.


Common law is still man-made law. Learn about Natural Law for a purely logical basis to moral behavior.

A war in which soldiers compete is not a war, so why use pathological terminology? Thinking of the crypto revolution as a "war" plays into the hands of the warmongers whom the crypto revolution is putting out of business.


Seems like an absurd generalization that leaves out of the picture the coders/thinkers who are working on novel crypto projects... such as yourself, no?


I think resistance to change is overwhelmingly dominant in authoritarian control structures, in government and also in the dinosaur banking system. Even if not, the innovation brought about by the decentralized ledger means we are at a huge advantage. Have you seen this idea for "crypto-everything"? The Cryptoglobalist Coalition


Is that a justification of colonialism (i.e. violent subjugation and mass murder) as "Stubborness and Stupidity", or do I read you wrong?

You couldn't come up with a more oxymoronic idea than that if you tried.

What you are vaguely calling a "narcotic" is an entheogen used in the East for thousands of years, and may well have been the active ingredient in Soma, the hallucinogenic brew at the center of Hinduism. It is also probably at the origins of Santa Claus! Messing with muscarinic acetylcholinergic neurotransmission is historically associated with the idea of demonic possession, as can be seen by the origins of the legends of witches and subsequent witch hunts in medieval Europe.



Nothing prevents you from expanding your truth to a more holistic understanding, however. One way to do that is with an entheogen. While both are vehicles, you wouldn't confuse an airplane with a bicycle, so don't confuse psychedelics with narcotics. Your generalization that "drugs numb our true emotional condition" is true for the latter, not the former.



Those are faces of meth addicts. Rewiring of dopamine pathways by huge doses of dopamine and noradrenaline releasing agents can lead people to extremely self-destructive behavior. You have not the first idea about what is being discussed in this topic, which is entheogenic expansion of conscious focus.


dank, just one thing: define the difference between dimension and density.

Yes, I get that; I'm just pointing out that it doesn't sound like what you are talking about to most people. "Globalist" could be substituted for something else, perhaps "world" or "planet"... or "cryptopanhumanist".


Wouldn't private and national ones do their best to destroy and marginalize the cryptohealth service?


If you justify initiation of violence in the name of preventing harm upon others, then you are giving free reign to psychopaths who will pretend to be preventing harming others (such as "us") and even make it seem as if that's what's happening when harming "them".


A computer that perfectly categorizes the information, allowing a human to access the information when relevant. Hence, it's worse than Britain today. Why do you think it would be difficult to abuse, and what exactly is "it" that would be difficult to abuse?


Seems to me like a big fat assumption of determinism underlies this idea.


You're assuming that the mind is in the brain.


Yes, surely, but that type of art is a level dumbed down from the original type of art. It's an algorithm-based canvas vs. infinite human imagination.


You didn't answer my question directly though. If, operating under the assumption that consciousness is an emergent phenomena arising from electrochemical neuronal interactions, how could we possibly know what the boundary of AI self-awareness is? In other words, if human intelligence is emergent hence in a sense artificial, and we don't understand how it happens (aka the hard problem of science), how could we possibly understand silicon self-awareness before it happens if we don't understand carbon self-awareness?

Became aware while on Earth, or were already aware when they arrived from somewhere else? And for how long do you believe this has been going on?


Was it only amanita and nothing else? I didn't know that GABA + muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonism can also manifest higher-dimensional intelligences. Were your amanita experiences anywhere near as intense as DMT?

This is a very interesting idea. VERY impressive! Perhaps you should post this in General Discussion to get more attention?


Calling it a Globalist Coalition seems to me like a bad idea for various reasons:

Globalization is commonly thought of as a tendency or agenda of governments to expand towards global centralization -- in other words, to consolidate jurisdiction of central authority.

'Coalition' is similarly associated with political parties, i.e. groups of people who believe they have rights that other people don't have. On the other hand, that has its positive aspect, in that it sounds formal thus resonates with statists.

Strictly speaking, centralized power isn't "held" by nation states, but rather exists as a collective belief in the legitimacy of the fear-based control system commonly known as government.


The latter already exists in the deep web. Could you elaborate on how technically feasible the others are at the current stage of decentralization development?


Please define "health" and "education" in a cryptostate, and how it would differ from the current, to put it mildly, "highly dysfunctional" systems.


The big question here is: what constitutes a crime? If there is no victim, there is no crime, but even with that understanding the threshold (crime/not-crime) is not well-defined. The surveillance idea seems a little scary indeed... many ways to abuse it, and most people would object to it in principle (few people like being observed).


That idea makes a large number of assumptions that don't jive with reality.


This already happens, in a sense.


That makes no sense. Art is by definition a human thing, an aspect of being human. You're assuming AI can "master the processes of biology" as Kurzweil would have it, but even if that were so, art would lose its meaning.


If the AI can make intelligent decisions to the degree of programming and improving itself, how would you make sure it won't become self-aware in some sense, if you believe that consciousness is an emergent phenomena arising from electrochemical neuronal interactions? Such kind of self-awareness would probably make the AI decide that humans are to be used to its liking, just as humans use livestock.

By beings, do you mean Reptilians?

Yup.

On a funny note, heard of John Marco Allegro? He would change "partook in" to "was a".



'Tis not necessarily the case even with GABA agonism. The other drugs he says he uses increase the frequency of his consciousness (i.e. intensifies his emotions).

In that case consider entheogenic assistance.

You are that being.

That's not precisely accurate. Dreams are experiences of consciousness in higher frequencies (4th and 5th density), and ascension is the idea of expanding awareness from 3rd density focus to 4th and 5th.

This is the dimensional structure of consciousness:

Why would you say this if you understand the nature of reality? You are doing exactly what David Icke's ego did some 20 years ago. You have developed a spiritualized ego. The ego has simply redefined itself as not-ego.

You also have an incomplete understanding of karma and causality.


By singularity do you mean synchronicity?


So usury is OK for Jesus 2.0?


Decrying the yoke of money and greed on the one hand and appealing to the same on the other hand... is that would Jesus would do?


Hmm, so IT'S OVER 9000??


Yeah, that sounds like easy.


I would humbly suggest the same to you.


There are no Akashic "records" to find answers "within", because everything exists here and now. Akasha essentially means consciousness. The AMs describe methods by which one can access nonlocal information, which has been interpreted (by the Theosophists et al) using labels/definitions based on a linear spacetime understanding.


Do you call everyone who disagrees with you "demonically possessed", or just this person?
