Now that’s all fine and dandy whether it target cyber criminals,
hackers, and true thieves. Sit using your palms out of
your body facing down towards the floor, your spine
straight, you flat about the floor. The reason behind this is because fiber optic
cables are made-up of conducting light material and for that reason transmit the lighting from the end to a new end.

Anonymous: yes! People have fucked up beliefs. They somehow connect “no effort” with “laziness”. Those are two diferent things!

That situation happens to me many times. If you don’t feel like doing something, it is just your brain/body telling you, we have to think about this more. Then when the answer is processed it just pops into you and you start working just like that.

I used to tell my ex-girlfriend that in your life you have to do what you want, or at least not to do what you don’t want to do. She was like hell no! You must work hard! You’ll get nowhere if you don’t work hard!… I guess she wouldn’t understand what I tried to tell her, which is somewhat what you are saying here. You explained it quite well here. I guess she understood that “doing what you want” is basically “doing nothing”, but that’s not true at all. Sometimes, for example, I have to program something so I’m sitting in front of the screen watching a long code, but I don’t feel like doing anything at that moment, so I just move the scrollbar up and down and get nothing done. When I realize that I won’t do anything I say fuck this and I lay in the bed. Lots of times happened that to me, and after 5minutes of resting it’s like a brillian idea comes suddenly to my mind to get the work continued. So I get motivated and start coding like a pig. That’s a clear example that using conscious effort isn’t the way. I’m all for waiting to be motivated. I even try to think of something that motivates myself when I don’t feel like working.
So amen to all this.

“By the way if our minds somehow fool us, then how can you be sure that there is no physical matrix that restrains everything, free will included?”
You take the theoretical limits of thought speed (the amount of neurons that the information passes through, the electrical conductivity of dendrites etc.) Since this is all based on electromagnetism and physics, you have an established connection to physical reality, which cannot be fabricated due to our universe’s reliance on specific cosmological constants (speed of light, speed of gravity etc). If there is a difference between theoretical speed and actual speed, you are in a matrix.

@Anonymous: Doesn’t matter at all, because even if we would be in a virtual world doing things will still make sense as long as it has a certain effect in that virtual world. Hence, knowing whether or not our minds plays a trick on us or not is irrelevant.

By the way if our minds somehow fool us, then how can you be sure that there is no physical matrix that restrains everything, free will included?

unfortunately

Physically, there is no matrix.
Our minds is our matrix.
