holy shit what a read, anon, if I'm getting this right, this is a finer, more precise way of modeling an environment or a system's behavior than the reward-maximization approach, given that you're not limiting the agent to a predefined set of rules, rather letting it freely explore what it's meant to explore. what a read, this Friston guy, I'm going to keep reading about him..

>Just as a cell is a Markov-blanketed system that minimizes free energy in order to exist, so are tribes and religions and species.

basically everything is a fractal, even social networks and its growth can be fractal-modeled so I guess that's where Asimov's psychohistory fits in.

It seems the free energy principle can be applied in all and every branch of science imaginable.

not familiar with Lasch's work tho.

found one of his papers.

vaccines and porn. porn is the fucking devil seducing you into living death.

I wish I never watched porn in my entire fucking life. it fucked me up badly. if you're reading this, save your fucking self and drop it.

nope, fortunately never had dick issues, and IMO that's the least you should worry when you're a fucking porn addict.

more like brain wiring issues, emotional issues. man, let me put it this way:

you don't know you're addicted to porn UNTIL you try to quit it.

you don't know how much it fucks you up psychologically and neurologically until you quit it and start to realize how good it feels to have energy, to feel fucking life, that shit kills you slowly from the inside without you knowing it.

I know not everyone's experience is the same, but eventually if you keep escalating as my addicted self did, you end up that way.

I've been struggling and recovering these last months with the occasional relapse, not anymore tho, I'm clean and going strong. I really don't wish that kind of evil to ANY man on earth. :(

Amen.

Sometimes I feel like I wasted my youth. My youth energy, and it's not a pleasant feeling. It is not really, and I truly hope no one ever feels that fucking shit.

Stay strong bud, piece of advice, you need to POUR that energy into other stuff, really, do it now, you will start to feel better. work it out, yoga it out, start something social-related like a frequent hanging out with quality people, any activity will help bro. I wish you the best.
