Maybe it all boils down to copyright. Having a method that believably removes the capacity to generate copyrighted results might give you some advantage with respect to some legislation.

There is just too much randomness in life and control is an illusion. Of course, it is true that some life choices will close or open doors, but, again, life is messy for everyone. By the way, when did mindfulness fall out of favor with tech people? I have the feeling there is a whole new generation that again has to learn the benefits of contemplative practices from scratch. Anyone here read Search inside yourself etc. ten years ago?

Offenbach also hosts a relatively large Japan festival (in Germany). Wood joinery, at least in my mind, is a very Japanese craft. I wonder if this is by accident.

This thought experiment is deeply flawed as it assumes that what you propose is possible and the outcome would be as you suggest. I am not convinced that people can bootstrap themselves like this and that language itself does not contain views, values and perspectives.

Okay, want I cannot directly agree with in your original post is the notion that flow of time is an illusion and that it follows from the argument. Obviously, as you argue, with relativity, it is not possible to have an absolute 'now'. But isn't it possible to have a local flow of time? All things you perceive are not the events themselves (happened in your past), but their effects on your now.

I don't feel like I am in a position to do a recommendation here, but I agree that already the title implicates that this is something to talk about with a professional. Since this probably will not be possible in the short term, it might be worth a try to look into some cognitive therapy literature. For me, these made a difference:

- David Burns: Feeling good - The new mood therapy

- Martin Seligmann: Learned Optimism

And that I actually would recommend to everyone ...

Collect a list of problems. Then roll a dice. Work on the matching problem and let the other yous in the multiverse work on the others.

I think this is cool and hope your location gets the HN effect today aka real world ddos :)

Just to dump an idea: Maybe instead of using a scale based rating, you could experiment with something that has not a clear maximum value to prevent the all 5-star rating effect described by others. The only thing that directly comes to my mind would be a button, that the user has to hold until the time matches the perceived rating.

I agree. I think it is necessary to accept (as in 5 steps of acceptance) that is not possible to process all the shiny things. Keeping bookmarks and not closing tabs thus indicates an early phase off the acceptance process, probably denial.

Not really a point. I guess because security demand is generally low, it was easy for the assassin. But compare the number of 'everyday crime' like theft, murders and gunfights to the US and I guess you easily come to the conclusion that Japan is safe.

No antimemetics division is great. Btw. Making SCP entries with chatgpt is some fun. However, for SCP-3125 I got:

SCP-3125 does not exist, as it is not an officially recognized SCP number within the SCP Foundation universe. If you're looking for an SCP entry related to the number 3125, you can create one yourself or ask the community to create it for you.
