Three fundamentals that anyone who ever played Civilization (1991) most likely agrees with - let me know if I missed something: 1) The tech options that are given to you at the start of the game really matter. If you were missing a key one at the start, you...

Bam Adebayo GOES IN on the critics that says his 83 point game performance is unethical: "For the couch coaches, I mean, if you're in my shoes and you have, first of all, y'all are blaming me. You should be blaming the head coach. Get that first. I was not the one letting me go one-on-one the whole game until I had 70, and then you started to send a double. At that point, I got 70 with, like, what? nine minutes left to go in the game you think i'm not going for it like like and that's the thing that's crazy when they talk about the unethical part of the basketball i'm like if i have 70 points with 9 minutes to go Who would just be like, you know, coach, just take me out. Yeah, right. Anybody in my shoes with nine minutes left? Okay. A minute? All right. Nine? Yeah, I'm going for it. You can't be mad at that. If you are mad, I don't care because a lot of people, they're upset because if they did play, they never had a chance to get that close to chasing greatness. And then if you get that close to chasing greatness, that's the point of chasing it so you can surpass it. And some of the people have never played basketball. So like if you've been in the backyard and you and a couple of your homies have been playing 21 and you got 19. You're not going to get an easy look off. And four, they're going to talk about the free throws. It's not like I shoot 15 free throws a game. It's not like I average 10 free throws a game. You can watch the film. I was legitimately getting fouled every time. So I went to the free throw line."

Jordan Peterson: "If you can't fix your room, you can't fix your life" "Why should you even bother improving yourself? The answer is something like: so you don't suffer anymore stupidly than you have to. And maybe so others don't have to either. It's not some casual self-help doctrine. If you don't organize yourself properly, you'll pay for it. In a big way. And so will the people around you." Peterson continues: "You can say, 'Well, I don't care about that.' But that's actually not true, you do care about it. Because if you're in pain, you will care about it. It's very rare that you can find someone in excruciating pain who would say, 'Well, it would be no better if I was out of this.' Pain brings the idea that it would be better if it didn't exist along with it. It's incontrovertible." On how to start: "Look around for something that bothers you and see if you can fix it. You can do this in a room. Sit in your bedroom and think: 'If I wanted to spend ten minutes making this room better, what would I have to do?' You have to ask yourself that, it's a genuine question. And things will pop out. There's a stack of papers bugging you. Some rubbish behind your computer monitor you haven't attended to for six months. Cables tangled up." He explains why this matters: "If you were coming to see me for psychotherapy, the easiest thing would be to get you to organize your room. You think, is that psychotherapy? It depends on how you conceive the limits of your being. Start where you can start. If something announces itself as in need of repair that you could repair, fix it. Fix a hundred things like that, your life will be a lot different." On fixing what you repeat every day: "People tend to think of their daily routines as trivial. You get up, brush your teeth, have breakfast. Those probably constitute 50% of your life. People think, they're mundane, I don't need to pay attention to them. No, that's exactly wrong. The things you do every day are the most important things you do. Hands down. Just do the arithmetic." On staying within your competence: "Sometimes you don't know how to fix something. Imagine you're walking down the street and there's a guy who's alcoholic and schizophrenic and has been homeless for ten years. That's a problem. It would be good if you could fix it, but you haven't got a clue. You walk around that and go find something you could fix. Just because something announces itself as in need of repair doesn't mean it's you, right then and there, who should repair it. You have to have some humility. You don't walk up to a helicopter that isn't working and just start tinkering away." Peterson shares the key insight: "As soon as you give your mind a genuine aim, it'll reconfigure the world in keeping with that aim. That's actually how you see to begin with. You've all seen the video where you watch basketballs being tossed back and forth, and while you're doing that, a gorilla walks into the middle of the video and you don't see it. If you thought about that experiment for five years, that would be about the right amount of time to spend thinking about it." He explains what it reveals: "What it shows you is that you see what you aim at. If you can get one thing through your head, that would be a good one. You see what you aim at. One inference you might draw from that is: be careful what you aim at. What you aim at determines the way the world manifests itself to you. So if the world is manifesting itself in a very negative way, one thing to ask is: are you aiming at the right thing?"

One of my all-time favourite games is the original Civilization from 1991. The number of hours I spent playing it is way too high, but the memories are all worth it. At some point, I set myself challenges, for example playing on the highest difficulty against the maximum number of opponents, and limiting my tech choices. Right at the start, the options "Horseback Riding" and "The Wheel" are dead-end choices. It doesn't make them obsolete (Horseback Riding will get you to Chivalry – but the road ends there… and The Wheel will eventually come into play when you research Engineering), but obviously there are much better choices at the start such as "Alphabet", "Masonry", and "Pottery" (though a dead-end tech, you still need it for Granaries). My #1 goal was usually to get to the wonders of Darwin's Voyage (2 tech advances, incredible value) and J.S. Bach's Cathedral (reducing the number of unhappy citizens in your cities by 2, also incredible value). The little animation below shows my standard tech-tree path towards both those goals. What made Civilization so incredibly wonderful and gave it such a high level of replayability was the optionality. Apart from setting planet size and conditions, you could adjust difficulty levels and then also handicap yourself through deliberate self-imposed limitations, just to see what would happen and if you could still win. Man, I love this game. What were your first two or three tech choices and what wonders did you aim for early on?

Jaques Vallee describes his out of body experience and the being he encountered. he says he’s worked with an inventor in electrical tech that’s gone out of body numerous ways and that also friends within the Bigelow team had trouble getting back into their bodies during OBE’s Source -Engaging the Phenomenon 🔗 in comments JV -“I was taken out of my body, which II've never done, and instantly moved to the area where I was in the presence of this entity. And then my reaction was fear, terror, terror of being outside my body. Not so much terror of the entity. The entity itself wasn't terribly scary. I only perceived it for, certainly less than a minute. And then I was, I think my reaction was such that I was precipitated back into my body and I woke up shaking, crying, just completely, you know, reacting to it in fear, but more in fear that, you know, when people try to, and I've worked with a number of people who have gone out of their body, including some names in American electronic science that you would recognize, including a really great inventor of the technology we're using now, who went out of his body a number of ways and in fact, but always under, in, in relatively continuous conditions, not, not abrupt conditions. The way, the way it happened to me. So I was familiar with their experiences, the. I have no doubt about the reality of, of, of what happens. we don't exactly learn the conditions, as you may know, there are a number of books and people who actually teach how to do that. It's, it's dangerous because some people have described great difficulty in getting back into their body once they were floating around, including some of our friends within the Bigelow team. So those really need to be very structured in control. It's best to do it with someone else guiding you or being aware of, what happens to you. And for one thing, you know, making sure that during the experience, your body is safe. This was very abrupt. I'm not sure I want to do it again, but the, the nature of the entity is something that I continue to study and try to recall because it's relevant to what other people have said. So I want to use that as my guide into understanding what witnesses tell me and what at some point, you know, that, I mean, if, if you are a doctor, there are some experiments you have to do on your own body, you know, be before you can really understand what, what your patients are going through. as you know, I'm, I'm pretty tall. I'm over six foot tall. It was tall as I was, it was darker. This was obviously at, at night. It had, its back to a window, a a window that, you know, was looking at San Francisco at night, but the, essentially the outside was, was dark with some city lights. “I didn't get any structural details, you know, other than the, this was conscious and it had a sense of, you know, occupying the space for a, a reason. I mean, this was not just a, you know, like a piece of furniture”

ROSALÍA speaking to the public in Barcelona in Catalan, visibly emotional and on the verge of tears by the end of speech: "Good night everyone! How are you today? I'm delighted to see you. I have to admit that... I'm usually a little nervous, you know? Before I perform I get a little dumb or dizzy, right? And I can't stop, but today I think my heart was going to me, but for a very specific reason. And because I'm singing in my city. I suppose there are artists and artists, like people and people, from his mother and father. And I remember that once I met Peret, an amazing artist, the father of rumba, and we were both going to sing that same night, I remember, here in Barcelona, and I went in with girls, he saw me, I mean, he was like there in a corner like that watching, and he saw that I was nervous, and he said to me, but why are you getting nervous? I said to myself, I have never been so nervous in my entire career and there I understood that he loved his city and celebrated it so much that with that invasion with that joy that invaded it he had no energy left to get nervous for anything and who knows if one day I will reach that level of calm, without resistance, but one thing you can be sure Barcelona is that I love you madly and you don't know how much I wanted to come back here. And probably as a singer, in front of your city or for your city is the most intense experience, I think, or most rewarding that you can live. But sometimes also the one that imposes itself on you the most, maybe. And I think that... I think it hits you in a way because it is the place that has seen you grow and that has seen you start from the bottom and run away on a path, you know? It is the place that confronts who you were and who you are now, you know? And what you have become. And the place where I believe you cannot escape yourself and you cannot be anyone but yourself. And that is precisely why this stage is not just any stage, you know? Tonight is not just any night. So thank you Barcelona, I love you so much. Thank you for supporting me." Source: 3CatInfo

All these demo videos make HEAD SWAPPING with Nano Banana look so easy, but then you give it a try and you're like... uh... what? Why didn't that work? Here's what I've found. Nano Banana reads your image, almost literally, so if you write on the image, it reads the text. This is how Higgsfield AI 🧩 has capitalized on the tech: "Write on the image" and give it direction, right? Totally true, but you don't need Higgi to write on your image. Nano Banana will understand your direction regardless of where you write on your image. On one hand, Higgi is really smart, because they're hranessing the tech in a unique way, but the whole "Higgsfield's Banana Placement" is a bit of a misnomer. It's more of a "Banana Placement" and Higgi is just giving you a sort of basic Photoshop-type tool to work with (again, pretty smart), but the real tech is the Banana. 🍌 This is how I head swapped heads in Runway, but Nano Banana maintains the aesthetic qualities of your image almost perfectly, whereas Runway Reference spits out a very Gen-4 looking image. I like using Nano in Freepik (now Magnific), mainly because it's fast and I can get 4 gens at a time, and you need to gen a dozen times of so before you get a winner (most of the time). I was pumped when I saw Freepik introduce the @ reference feature, just like Runway has, but it doesn't seem to work for head swapping. My guess is because that's not really how Nano Banana tech works... ideally. Marco is the person I saw using this "A" and "B" method, back when Nano was on LM Arena, and man-oh-man, it just works... like a charm. You need experiment with how much of the face you blot out, and the angle and facial expression of your new head if you want the blend to be perfect. All of the results in this video are 100% Nano Banana. I did not do any Photoshop work to the images after the fact. I really hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to help. And I'll keep posting videos like this if you guys find them useful. Let me know! And if you want more serious, one-on-one AI consultation you can throw something on the books here:
