Ayahuasca: Informed consent on brain rewriting

(based on anecdotes and general models, not personal experience)

Your link doesn't contain a detailed description of their methodology or intermediate results. I would have to do a lot of digging to make heads or tails of it.

I guess feel free to opt out of this conversation if you want but then ultimately I don't see you as having contributed any point that is relevant for me to respond to or update with.

An opinionated tour of the AI safety funding landscape

As was said above, first you need to pick a stone from the ground or pretend that you are doing this if there is no stone around. Even if you have a stone, make the gesture that you take it from the ground. 

Another important point is to do it quickly and aggressively with loud cry. Also you can pull back one's arm with a stone. 

The whole trick is that dogs are so afraid of stones that they will run away before you actually throw it or they see where it fails. 

I consider it worthwhile to provide sources so that you can read their methodology yourself. I don't see a good reason for me to give you my interpretation of their methodology.

I'm not sure, IANAL, but I have wondered the same thing. Apparently there is this lawsuit in NJ: https://pltrust.org/blog/news/interstate-commerce-professional-licensing

Makes me wonder if the temporary relaxations of standards during covid made this a more defensible claim, since it meant imposing non-reciprocity was taking something away instead of not having allowed it all along. That might give a lot of plaintiffs standing to sue where they may not have had it previously?
