Perso, je valorise la vie, l’eau potable, la sécurité alimentaire et accès aux soins de santé. Pas lui, M le maire ?

What a great response. Thank you!

That’s interesting. I don’t really understand the bénef of a central bank digital currency. However, I could see some real improvements from stocks being tokenized.

This is also what I suggest. I moved from WordPress to Grav. It’s good, but a lot of work to customize.

Here’s a very useful resource of code snippets to make your website attractive and functional, without aCMS. https://www.w3schools.com/howto/default.asp

In addition, it means consistent quality. I used to smoke, which was easy to self-regulate. Now I use edibles because I can be pretty sure what the effect will be.

I agree with this. Try different combinations of CBD, CBG and CBN to see how they affect you. I have only tried THC alone (nice mild buzz) and with CBG (full body high). With CBG was a far stronger effect for me, but since I was just trying different brands, it took me a couple times to figure out what was producing the different effect.

Yes, good advice. I volunteer and work out and have a hobby (diving) that I’m taking a break from while I’m busy at work. I guess I need to find balance again.

It was too long, and that’s what happened. It was one of those days.

A hobby is a good idea. I feel stuck right now. I guess I know what to work on first.

Thank you for hosting us!

Excerpt From The Science of Storytelling by Will Storr.

Beneath the level of consciousness we’re a riotous democracy of mini-selves which, writes the neuroscientist Professor David Eagleman, are ‘locked in chronic battle’ for dominion. Our behaviour is ‘simply the end result of the battles’. All the while our confabulating narrator ‘works around the clock to stitch together a pattern of logic to our daily lives: what just happened and what was my role in it?’ Fabrication of stories, he adds, ‘is one of the key businesses in which our brain engages. Brains do this with the single minded goal of getting the multifaceted actions of the democracy to make sense.’ …

Our multiplicity is revealed whenever we become emotional. When we’re angry, we’re like a “different person with different values and goals in a different reality than when we feel nostalgic, depressed or excited. As adults, we’re used to such weird shifts in selfhood and learn to experience them as natural and fluid and organised. But for children, the experience of transforming from one person to another, without any sense of personal volition, can be deeply disturbing. It’s as if a wicked witch has cast an evil spell, magicking us from princess to witch.

I’m not sure about all your requirements. I use 1CRM. It’s based on sugar crm, which is open source. It’s self-host-able. I had a good experience with support while I was setting it up (I pay for hosting). They are located on the west coast of Canada, if time zone matters.

I just finished reading it. I’m not sure I understood all of it, but I enjoyed it.

Thank you. I look forward to reading it.

Yes, I believe that you’re right on that point. As crazy as it seems.

I love it. Thanks for sharing.

Seems a bit off topic of my comment, but I’ll bite.

I don’t believe in free will. I don’t make choices or decisions, as such. My biology responds to environmental stimulus and cues.

Having said that, objectively I’m not very effective at being a human. I’m in a straight marriage, but bisexual (leaning gay) and only figured that out after a decade. I shout at my kids when I lose my temper. Or I sit in the dark and mope instead of dealing with my problems. Or use recreational cannabis. Although I’m physically healthy, I’m not very social and don’t have or provide a social safety net. But I have a good job that I enjoy.

Am is good person? I don’t think that means anything. But I know there are a handful of people who like being with me and benefit from my actions. So I’m a net benefit to my circle. I think that’s good enough for me.

I know what you mean. And I promise I’m not trying to argue, just exploring the boundary.

What if your body was injured and it became comatose. Then your brain was uploaded to a computer where you regained consciousness.

Are you the same person? Which one is you? If the computer were turned off, is the body you? If the body dies, is the mind you? What if your mind were loaded into a different body? What if your body has a different mind loaded onto it?

What I’m really trying to get at is: are you the composite of your body + your consciousness? How much would either one have to change to not be you?
